== Step 1==
[[File:Sindri.png|thumb|Speak to Sindri Grothsson in Southeast Altdorf to begin the Epic Quest.]]
First, head to Altdorf and make your way Southeast. Look for the dwarf '''Sindri Grothson''', and speak to him to begin the quest.
== Step 2==
Next, it's time to fly to Nordland! Do note that if you're above level 16, you'll be Debolstered, so most tactics and some skills may not work. 
*If you've lost your original basic mount, you can buy another at the T1 Warcamp for 5 silver from the Griffon Supplier Quartermaster, who is directly in front of you upon arriving. This will save you a lot of time!


Head South and complete the Quest by killing the final boss within the Raven Host Vanguard PQ, then turn in the quest at the road just west of the PQ.


This will grant the '''Nordland Farmer's Belt''' (Matching Visual Set: Decimator) and a choice between four dyes: Empire Farmer Dark Granite, Empire Farmer Light Granite, Empire Farmer Tan, and Empire Farmer Light Brown.

Accept the next part of the quest, and head north to complete the Ruins of Schloss Von Rubendorff Public Quest.

You will receive the '''Rubendorff Belt''' (Matching Visual set: Carnage) and your choice between Empire Black, Red, Ivory, Yellow, and Blue dyes.

[link: https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37911 ]  

All players then get another choice between Empire Black, Red, Ivory, Yellow, and Blue dyes.
== Step 11 ==
Accept the next quest and make your way all the way North to Pit of the Forsaken. This is a hard PQ, so if you're doing this alone + debolstered, exercise a little caution. 

Kill the PQ Boss and breathe a sigh of relief, because you're finally about to ditch that debolster. Head back to Empire Chapter 4 and turn in the quest to receive (item here)  and choose between Empire Black, Red, Ivory, Yellow, and Blue dyes.

Now turn in the quest at Empire Chapter 7 just a few steps Southwest, and receive the '''Frontier Helm''' (Matching Visual set: Obliterator) and your choice between Empire Black, Red, Ivory, Yellow, and Blue dyes.
== Step 15 ==
You're tired of Troll Country, so accept the next quest and take the flight master at the Chapter 7 camp to fly to Troll Country --> then fly back to Ostland in order to arrive at the Empire Chapter 8 camp, much closer to the PQ.  

Once there, head Southwest to the Nurenmir's Lancers PQ.

You know the drill by now. Kill them all. Once the Boss is defeated, use your War Report to any T2/T3 zone and then take the Flight Master to arrive back at the Empire Chapter 8.

With the Boss defeated, head east to the WolfenBurg Inn / Empire Chapter 9 and turn in the quest to receive the '''Gorewood Shoulders''' (Matching Visual set: Havoc).
== Step 17 ==
Take a moment to hydrate and step away from your computer for a few minutes if you've done this all in one session. You're well over halfway done!
== Step 18 ==
Accept the next part of the Quest and either run or fly to High Pass. Once there, make your way to the Chaos Ruins Public Quest.

Next, attack a bunch of rocks at the PQ and show them who's boss. Defeat the boss and head to Empire Chapter 10 to turn in the quest.
Here, you'll receive the [[Humble Origins|Humble Origins Belt]] (the first part of the Vanglorious Set!) and your choice between two very special dyes: Snow White and Arctic Blue. 

*PSA: The Snow White dye is unbound, so you can trade it or sell it. Arctic Blue is bound to player, so accept it only if you plan to use it.
== Step 19 ==
Accept the next part of the Quest and head to the Lake of the Damned PQ.

Kill all the mobs at the PQ, right click some stakes, and be ready for a surprise Boss at the end that might give you a jumpscare.

Now head to Empire Chapter 11 to turn in the quest and receive '''Belt of the Damned''' (Matching Visual Set: Stalker) and your choice of 2 Snow White or Actic Blue Dyes. 
== Step 20 ==
Accept the next Quest and head to the Shrine of Tzeentch PQ.

Kill the enemies, turn some blue crystals red, and dunk on the Hero mob like you dream of dunking on annoying DPS shamans. 

Return to Empire Chapter 12 and turn in the Quest to receive The '''Bitter Wood belt''' (Matching Visual set: Devastator/Mayhem) and a new choice between 4 dyes: Order of the Griffon Black, Order of the Griffon  Red, Order of the Griffon Brown, and Order of the Griffon Light Tan.

*PSA: Griffon Black Dye is bound-to-player, whereas the other options are not.
== Step 21 ==
It's time to leave the snow and ice behind, so accept the next part of the quest and then War Report, Fly, or follow the road to Talabecland. 

Head over to the Bitterschaum Swamp in the southeast corner of the map and start killing things.

This time you'll need to get credit for defeating 4 different mobs near the PQ's end. You can find three in the top hut inside the camp, and the fourth on his own hanging out nearby with his Squig bros. 

Stomp them all and return to Empire Chapter 14 to turn in the quest and receive the '''Bitterschaum Helm''' (Matching Visual set: Stalker) and the same choice of 4 Order of the Griffon Dyes: Black, Red, Brown, and Light Tan.
== Step 22 ==
Realize that you secretly adore cemeteries and would love to see more of one, especially one with Zombies. Accept the next quest and fly out of Talabecland, then back into Talabecland to place yourself near the next PQ, then just head next door to the Unterbaum Cemetery Public Quest. 

Destroy the Zombies and burn a bunch of carts. Ponder how setting fire to carts spawns even more Zombies, and then kill the final boss of the PQ. 

Return to Empire Chapter 14 and turn in the quest to receive the '''[[Death Decieved|Death Deceived Cape]]''', the second item in the Vainglorious Set, and another dip into the four Order of the Griffon dyes. 
== Step 23 ==
It's time to graduate to the big leagues, so accept the next quest and either Fly or make your way east to Reikland. 

Once there, head all the way South to the Heinrich Estate PQ.

Mow through the mobs outside the gates with the power of a murderous sentient lawnmower, then kill the mobs on the walls and inside the tower before defeating the boss. 

Head to Empire Chapter 15 to turn in the Quest and receive the '''Heinrich Belt''' (Matching Visual set: Annihilator/Ruin) and your choice between Order of the Griffon Black, Red, Brown, or Light Tan dyes.

*''PSA: The "Clear the Coutyard" part of this PQ wants you to kill the Sellswords within the tower.'' 
== Step 24 ==
This is it! The final PQ! Accept the quest and head North to Castle Grauenburg. 

The PQ mobs are humans, but technically ''bad'' ones, so feel no guilt as you make your way up the Castle stairs and kill every person, champion and Hero you meet. 

Kill the final boss at the top floor and then head to Empire Chapter 16 to turn in the quest. 

Here you receive the '''[[Celestial Portent]]''' Jewelry piece, the final piece of Vainglorious, and a choice between Order of the Griffon Black, Red, Brown, or Light Tan dyes.

With this, your [[Vainglorious set]] is complete - but you have a couple more special dyes awaiting you in the final steps of the quest.

== Step 25 ==
The Dwarf that started you upon this massive PQ-filled saga and through multiple zones wants to talk to you again, so fly back to Altdorf and speak with Sindri Grothson. 

Doing so grants you  and a choice between special dyes: Boltgun Metal, Burnished Gold, Dwarf Bronze, Mithril Silver, and Shining Gold.
*''PSA: We recommend not picking Mithril Silver as you can get this color from any normal Dye merchant.''

It's all over! It's finally... over. 

Wait, what?
== Step 26 ==
Surprise! There's one more thing: Sindri's ancestors were once rich dwarves thanks to Gunbad, and he had a relative killed by a Giant there, so he's got one last grudge to settle: he wants you to head to [[Mount Gunbad]] and kill The Big Oaf, the first boss located in the Middle Wing of Gunbad. 

*IMPORTANT: If you are on Gunbad Lockout timer, you cannot earn credit for this quest.

After killing The Big Oaf in Gunbad's middle wing, head back to Sindri Grothson and turn in the quest to receive the Red-eye belt (matches Red-eye visual set) and get one more dip at a choice of his shiny dyes.

== Step 27 ==
This time, it's really over. Get up, get a drink, use the restroom, and leave your computer for a bit. You did it. You finally did it. 

'''Congratulations on completing the Vainglorious Epic Quest!'''
