Invader Set
The Invader Set
The Invader Set is a high-tier armor set within Return of Reckoning.
This set comes after the Vanquisher Set, and requires Renown Rank 60-63 to equip.
Invader features 7 pieces, and unlike sets prior to it, all pieces of Invader are bound on pick-up, so you cannot trade or buy Boots or Gloves for this set on the Auction House.
Invader is also the first major RvR Set to introduce an Accessory piece. This piece is optional for unlocking The Invader ward.
How to equip Invader Armor
To wear Invader Armor, you'll first need the Vanquisher Ward granted by equipping five pieces of Vanquisher Armor or equivalent sets.
Once that's done, it's time to head North in your capital city to either the Palace of Altdorf or The Citadel within the Inevitable City.
Look for Killbjorn Grimstone (Order) or Skullsplitta Badaxe (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 Invader Ward
The Invader 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.
