Items - What to get after dinging 40

What items to get after dinging 40

Getting rvr armor is pretty important – so gain some renown (rr33+) to wear Annihilator armor set with some decent talismans. Having a full set of Annihilator will give you 5 Lesser Wards. If you are missing some items, do not hesitate to ask an officer if we got some spare in bags, through keep claims, see here

When you have 5 Lesser Wards (healers and rdps can go with less), you should do Sigmars Crypt / Warpblade Tunnels (often referred to as Sigmars/WBT) in Altdorf. These instances drop Sentinel armor which have better stats than Annihilator and unlocks Greater Wards.

When you have a full set of Greater Wards (again, healers and rdps can go with a bit less) then do Lost Vale (LV) runs to get Darkpromise armor. LV do require a balanced group setup, and it is best to go with others that know what to do. DP armor will unlock Superior Wards.
When you get ready for LV, please edit in your char info in the according LV spreadsheet

IMPORTANT! At the time you are ready for LV .. go to the palace in Altdorf and pick up the “Pure Of Heart” quest from the elven king. Progress in that quest is absolutely mandatory for you and your group in LV!

Remember that mixing set bonuses can boost your main abilities or functions in group, wearing example full Conquer armor at rr45 is not always better than gaining a main stat boost from wearing 2 pieces of Annihilator armor. Unlocked Wards is bound to your character and not the armor itself!

Often a mix of Darkpromise and Sentinel (3/3) will bring out the best for your class until you can wear 3-4 pieces of Warlord or Tyrant instead of the Sentinel. What you lack in example armor from mixing sets downwards can be improved with talismans and still have better main stats.

Wounds is the single most effective defensive stat in RvR as it negates all types of damage – and remember the longer you live the more you can heal, protect and/or do damage.

When you have time, as a fresh dinged 40, go to Land of The Dead and take the 2 quests available near the armor and weapons merchant. Killing 20 destruction players and doing the Airship PQ at destruction warcamp will each give you 1 Anhk – these can be used to buy a cloak (12 Ankh’s) + jewel (2 Ankh’s) that have a very good bonus when worn together with the second set item for them available through gold scarabs. Bonus is +90 heal power / ranged / magic / melee etc. These stats boost your main stat without having the secondary effect - like example disrupt from willpower.

Have fun :)
