Understanding Vanguard's Swamp Armor

By Machail


style="font-style: italic;"> style="font-style: italic;"> style="font-weight: bold;">

Introduction

At level 45 the swamp armor quests become available.  These
are end-game armor sets and have something for everyone.  The
sets are divided into three factions, serving three statistics
specializations.

  • Gorgalok
    Armor:
    This set is focused on offensive statisitics like
    +damage, and +critical chance.  This set requires killing in
    Ichtakhta.
  • Ichtakhta
    Armor:
    This set is focused on defensive statistics like
    +mitigation,  and +absorption.  This set requires
    killing in Flordiel.
  • Flordiel
    Armor:
    This set is a balanced set, mixing statistics.
    This set requires killing Gorgolaks in Vsurog Moor.

Before beginning the quests it is important to decide which set you
want to go after.  As the three sets are separated by faction,
when you quest for one set, you'll be losing faction with another,
making doing multiple sets relatively difficult.  Not
impossible, but difficult.  We'll get to that later.

hspace="10">Location

The
Swamps can be found at the southwest of Thestra.  Flordiel has
a riftway on the Tier 3 network (linked to Plains of Anguish, Pankor
Zhi, Razad and Wyrmwing Slopes).  It is indicated by the white
and black circle just above the first "L" in "Flordiel" on the map to
the left.



It is easiest reached by going to the Flordiel Rift, but if you don't
have it unlocked yet, you can either fly in or boat in with ease from
New Targonor, which is just a bit east from the map shown here.



Regardless of which faction you decide you want to go for, it may be an
idea to set up in Ruin Falls, which is just north of Vsurog Moor on
this map.  There you will find a bind stone, a mailbox, and
shops to do your selling.  You can also craft here for faction
with any of the three factions.  We'll get to that a bit later
too.


Choosing Faction

Once you decide which set of armor you want to do, you'll need to start
by gaining faction for that city.  One way to do this is by
hailing the steward for the city with which you want to gain faction.
 They will offer a quest entitled "Atonement."  The
stewards for each faction are:

  • Gorgalok: style="font-style: italic;">Emissary Geisel,
    located at -71700, -79500 in Vsurog Moor
  • Ichtakhta:   style="font-style: italic;">Karoz of the Ichtakhta,
    located at 50800, -54500 in Ichtakhta
  • Flordiel: style="font-style: italic;">Esurin, located at
    -70000, -46300 in Flordiel

The "Atonement" quest requires you to return to one of these stewards
with the Ankh of the Fungus King.  This Ankh is dropped from
King Mnalu in the Mnalus Caves, in the center of the Swamps of Rumug.
 Getting the king to become attackable (as he's always there,
just not attackable) requires killing the Prince, the Queen, and
finally the King.



The alternate means of gaining faction is doing work orders in Elani in
Ruin Falls.  For many, this will be an easier route, as in
Elani you will find three craftsmen who offer work orders for any
crafting level.  Each work order gives 500 faction upon
completion, and negative 250 faction to the opposing factions.



Thirdly, you can begin killing creatures in any of the areas to start
building your faction.  This is the slowest route though as
they will only offer one or two faction points per kill.



In any case, you will
need 2001 faction
with your chosen city to be able to
complete the armor quests.

Armor Sets

Each set comes in two tiers.  The first tier is the armor
received for completing the quest.  This is rare quality armor
and is generally pretty good.  However, all of these armor
pieces are upgradable to heroic quality by combining it with a crafted
component (more on this at a later date).  For this overview,
we will do the charts based on the final upgraded armor pieces.

The Quests

Each of the factions has an NPC that will offer you the quests.
 You can only obtain these quests at 2000 faction with your
chosen town.  You can obtain these quests at level 45.



Gorgolak - Veregeth
is located in Vsurog Moor at 12300, 16000

Ichtakhta - Stockpiler
Gelmitz is located in Ichtakhta at -17600, 25000

Flordiel - Telnia
is located in Flordiel at 29100, -25400



All factions require the same quest components apart from the raw armor
drops.  The raw armor is what determines which set you can
complete.
