1) Now they've completed a full year of training plus spent months on the road getting on the job experience; the threats are tougher but so are they.

2) And in a City as large as Mistral, they can eeasily blend while they search. 1) RNJR did. Yang spent almost all of those months brooding. Weiss was a quasi-NEET. And Blake only really fought 1 Grimm on the road, from what we saw.

Sure, Yang and Weiss got some training by the end. In Yang's case it was more of re-training though, while Weiss learned a new trick while the rest of her tricks remain the same.

2) Except Weiss. Because she couldn't even think of changing clothes, apparently.

Thanks to the lack of Internet, it's possible that the news of her not being the Heiress anymore haven't reached the full population. Even if they did, she's still a Schnee, and Mistral is the WF homebase.

Even without the WF, Mistral is divided between the "Holier than thou" nobles, and a pretty big criminal underworld including the biggest black market in the world. Which is a problem, because even if they don't know she's a Schnee (somehow), Weiss looks like an obviously-rich person.

And Weiss's current clothes make no attempt at covering her face. And she's got no money to buy new clothes. So she stands out like a sore thumb between her name and her appearance.
