Vanquisher Set
The Vanquisher Set
The Vanquisher Set is a mid-tier level 40 armor set within Return of Reckoning.
This set comes after the Conqueror Set, and requires Renown Rank 55-58 to equip.
Vanquisher features 6 pieces, and you are able to purchase the Boots and Gloves for this set via other players or the Auction House, so feel free to do so if you have gold and want to save War Crests.
How to equip Vanquisher Armor
To wear Vanquisher Armor, you'll first need the Conqueror Ward granted by equipping five pieces of Conqueror Armor or equivalent sets.
The Vanquisher vendor is located South in your capital city at the Altdorf War Quarters or The Inevitable City Undercroft.
Look for Astolfo Maibaum (Order) in Altdorf or Maghah Hellshadow (Destro) in the Inevitable City and speak to them to begin purchasing the Armor set.
You'll need Renown Rank 55 to start equipping pieces, and Renown Rank 58 to finish the set.

Unlocking the Vanquisher Ward
The Vanquisher Ward is the second-to-last Ward, and is unlocked by equipping five pieces of Vanquisher Armor. Those are:
- Boots
- Gloves
- Shoulders
- Helm
- Chest
If you're not looking to use Vanquisher for long or want to move on to a different set, you can skip the Vanquisher Belt to save on War Crests.
You can also unlock this ward with a PvE Armor Set that won't cost you any War Crests - please see the Sentinel Set page for more information.
Next stop: Invader, Bloodlord, and Triumphant
The completed Vanquisher Ward unlocks the gates for you to move onto a number of more powerful sets: The Invader Set, the Bloodlord Set, the Victorious Set, and the Triumphant Set.
Each of these routes will grant you the upcoming Invader Ward, and each set has different stat bonuses.
Be sure to check them out in advance and decide which you want to equip while building up your War Crests and Renown Rank!
