Mayhem Set

The Mayhem Set

The Mayhem Set is a high-tier armor set within Return of Reckoning.

This set comes after the Havoc Set, and requires Renown Rank 60-63 to equip.

Mayhem features 7 pieces, and unlike sets prior to it, all pieces of Mayhem are bound on pick-up, so you cannot trade or buy Boots or Gloves for this set on the Auction House.

Mayhem is also the first major RvR Set to introduce an Accessory piece. This piece is optional for unlocking The Mayhem ward.

How to equip Mayhem Armor

File:Mayhem Merchant2.png

Speak to the Mayhem Armor Quartermaster in the south of your Capital City to purchase Mayhem Armor.

To wear Mayhem Armor, you'll first need the Scout Ward granted by equipping five pieces of Havoc Armor or equivalent sets.

Once that's done, it's time to head south in your capital city to either east of the War Quarter in Altdorf or The Slaanesh Chambers within the Inevitable City.

Look for Adam Quetror (Order) or Lysa Khai (Destro) and speak to them to begin purchasing the Armor set.

You'll need Renown Rank 60 to start equipping pieces, and Renown Rank 63 to finish the set.

Unlocking the Mayhem Ward

File:Mayhem Fragments.png

The Mayhem Ward has 5 Fragments, making some pieces of this set optional.

The Mayhem Ward is the final RvR Ward, and is unlocked by equipping five pieces of Invader Armor. Those are:

• Boots
• Gloves
• Shoulders
• Helm
• Chest

If you're not looking to use Invader for long or want to move on to a different set, you can skip both the Invader Belt and Invader Accessory to save on War Crests. You can also unlock this ward with other armor sets - please see the Invader Ward page for info.

Next stop: Warlord and Sovereign

The Invader Ward is the final step required to unlock the gates for both the Warlord and Sovereign Sets, which represent best-in-slot gear for many players.

From this point forward, there are no more RvR Wards to unlock, so you can freely purchase and equip both Warlord and Sovereign once you have enough War Crests and a high enough Renown Rank.
