'''The Ruin Set''' is the PvE version of the Annihilator or Mercenary Set, and it is the successor of the Mayhem PvE-set. Acquiring pieces of the Ruin Set rewards Officer Wards in the Armory section in the Tome of Knowledge. Remember that you need to have acquired lower Wards before you can equip the Ruin Set.

'''The best way to farm the set is to either:'''
*Group-Farm "Hard" Tier 4-PQs, which always reward at least one Gold Bag.
Or
*Solo-farm the War Tokens in "Easy" Tier 4-PQs. The entire set costs 612x War Tokens, in total.

'''War Tokens:'''

These will, in best case scenario, take less than 2 hours of farming, if starting from 0 War Tokens. It should be noted that the best place to farm said War Tokens is the lowest level "Easy" Tier 4-PQs, like Chapter 15 or 16. These rewards the highest amunt of War Tokens / hour, and is therefore also the best place to farm the lower level Wards (Required to equip the Ruin set), if these are missing, as well (Recruit, Scout, & Soldier). For Destruction, Caledor's Chapter 15 "Kelysian's Landing" or Chapter 16 "Loryndaal" are both amazing places to farm War Tokens.

'''Each Ruin piece has a seperate War Token-cost:'''
*094x War Tokens, for the Ruin Boots (Minimum Rank 34)
*081x War Tokens, for the Ruin Gloves (Minimum Rank 35)
*140x War Tokens, for the Ruin Helm (Minimum Rank 35)
*127x War Tokens, for the Ruin Shoulders (Minimum Rank 36)
*170x War Tokens, for the Ruin Chest (Minimum Rank 36)

'''The vendors that sell the set:'''
* For Order: In [[Altdorf]], at 32.5k 49k. East of the War Quarter.
* For Destruction: In [[The Inevitable City]], at 22k 51k. North-West of Pavilion of Slaanesh.

There is a Rank-requirement for the Ruin set, but no Renown Rank requirement, since it's a PvE-set. This makes it a decent catch-up-set for newly dinged 40's, who are behind in Renown Rank (As is the case with a lot of PvE-sets).

Razid1987: Added a line roughly estimating wpn dps to str to mp. since, based on currect wiki-info, you're completely in the dark. info might not be 100% accurate - based of forum (https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20288)

== Base Attributes ==
Each character posses eight ''Base Attributes'' that increase to various degrees with each level up until level 40. The following Table lists the ''Base Attributes'' at level 40. It can be seen that ''Base Attributes'' are not equally distributed across archetypes or even classes. Each ''Base Attribute'' has multiple functions in the combat mechanics of Return of Reckoning, with the exception of Toughness and Wounds.

=== '''Base Attribute Cap'''s ===
There are two caps to the ''Base Attributes'': soft and hard.

The soft cap is calculated by

''<code>soft-cap = (level * 25) + 50</code>''

and equals 1050 for level 40 characters. Attribute gains beyond the soft cap are reduced by half. Meaning that you need to invest 2 attribute points to effectively gain 1 attribute points. For example if you want to increase an attribute from 1050 to 1100 you need to gain 100 attribute points.

The hard-cap is calculated by

''<code>hard cap = (level * 50) + (level * 10 + 50)</code>''

and equals 1650 for level 40 characters. Attribute gains beyond the hard cap do not have any effect for player characters.

== Offensive Attributes ==

The ''Base Attributes'' contain three ''Primary Offensive Attributes'' (Strength, Intelligence, Ballistic Skill). ''Primary Offensive Attributes'' have two purposes
* Increase damage of associated abilites and auto attacks
* Decrease chance of the defender to defend (Parry, Disrupt, Dodge) against an attack

The increase in damage can vary dramatically depending on the type of the ability. For direct damage abilities there is a rule of the thumb:

A general rule of thumb for Melee (When below the soft-cap) is: 1 Weapon DPS = 5 Strength = 5 Melee Power.

''<code>Damage Increase = Offensive Attribute Increase / 5 * Cast Time</code>''

For instant abilities the ''<code>Cast Time</code>'' is often 1.5

== Defensive Attributes ==
The ''Primary Offensive Attributes'' are opposed by ''Defensive Attributes'' (Weapon Skill, Willpower, Initiative) in the calculation of the base defense chance:

<code>Base Defense Chance = Defender Defensive Stat / Attacker Offensive Stat * 7.5 %</code>

The base defense chance is negligible under most circimstances as the ''Attacker Offensive Stat'' is much larger than the ''Defender Defensive Stat''. An exception are some pure healer classes that use offensive abilities such as Archmage and Shamans. The Figure shows the Base Defense Chance as a function of the ''Defenders Defensive Stat'' for three attackers with 200, 700 and 1050 ''Offensive Stat''. Most dedicated damage classes have offensive stats in the region of 1000. Defensive Stats rarely exceed 600 or 700 in case of Weapon Skill and Willpower. Thus resulting in Base Defensive Chances below 5 %.

[[File:Base Defense Chance as a function of Defender Defense Attribute.png|border|center|frameless|700x700px]]

== Initiative and Chance To Be Critically Hit ==
Initiative is a defensive stat that opposes physical ranged attacks (Ballistic Skill) and as a secondary effect defines the characters base chance to be critically by enemies. It is calculated by

<code>Base Chance To Be Critically Hit = (7.5 * Attacker Level + 50) /(Defender Initiative + 35) * 10 %</code>

therefore a level 40 character has a 100 % chance to be critically hit at 0 Initiative. This is a theoretical value as the strongest Initiative debuff is currently at 120 and the lowest Initiative Base Value is 123.

Due to the strong non-linearity of the function there are very steep diminishing returns beyond 300 Initiative.
[[File:InitiativeScaling.png|center|frameless|700x700px]]
If one considers to reduce their chance to be critically hit by investing renown points into Initiative or Futile Strikes: There are almost no secenarios in which points spent on Initiative is more valueable than points in Futile Strikes.

Is there a way to edit the headline (from "ruin token", to "ruin set", or simply "ruin")? seeing as ruin tokens arent in the game anymore (as far as im aware) calling them tokens can be a bit confusing, maybe :)

Razid1987: Overhaul of Ruin-related info.

'''The Ruin Set''' is the PvE version of the Annihilator or Mercenary Set. Acquiring pieces of the Ruin Set rewards Officer Wards in the Armory section in the Tome of Knowledge. Remember that you need to have acquired lower Wards before you can equip the Ruin Set. Ruin pieces drop from Tier 4 Public Quest-Gold Bags, guaranteed. The pieces are also purchasable in either Altdorf or the Inevitable City, for War Tokens (Rewards from PQs).
The best way to farm the set is to either farm Hard Tier 4 PQs, which always reward at least one Gold Bag, in a group. Or solo-farm the War Tokens in Easy Tier 4 Public Quests. The entire set costs 612x War Tokens, in total.

Each Ruin piece has a seperate War Token-cost::
*094x War Tokens, for the Ruin Boots (Minimum Rank 34)
*081x War Tokens, for the Ruin Gloves (Minimum Rank 35)
*140x War Tokens, for the Ruin Helm (Minimum Rank 35)
*127x War Tokens, for the Ruin Shoulders (Minimum Rank 36)
*170x War Tokens, for the Ruin Chest (Minimum Rank 36)

The vendors that sell the set:
* For Order: In [[Altdorf]], at 32.5k 49k. East of the War Quarter.
* For Destruction: In [[The Inevitable City]], at 22k 51k. North-West of Pavilion of Slaanesh.

There is a Rank-requirement for the Ruin set, but no Renown Rank requirement, since it's a PvE-set. This makes it a decent catch-up-set for newly dinged 40's, who are behind in Renown Rank (As is the case with a lot of PvE-sets).
