The Sovereign Set

The Sovereign Set is the final, highest-tier armor set within Return of Reckoning.

This set comes after the Warlord Set, and requires Renown Rank 75-78 to equip.

Sovereign features 8 pieces, and like the Invader Set and Warlord Set before it, all pieces of Sovereign are bound on pick-up, so you must earn all pieces of this set with War Crests.

How to equip Sovereign Armor

File:Sovereign Merchant.png
Speak to the Royal Quartermaster in the North of your Capital City to purchase Sovereign Armor.

To wear Sovereign Armor, you'll first need the Invader Ward granted by equipping five pieces of Invader 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. (You can also head to the far Western area of Karaz-A-Karak, or the Great Green Hall in Karak Eight Peaks.)

Look for Killbjorn Grimstone (Order) or Skullsplitta Badaxe (Destro) and speak to them to begin purchasing the Armor set.

You'll need Renown Rank 75 to start equipping pieces, and Renown Rank 78 to finish the set.

Off-Spec Sovereign

Sovereign armor is unique as it offers a special off-spec set for every class. The general breakdown for these specs is:

  • Tank: Primary spec Defense-focused, Off-spec DPS-focused
  • Healer: Primary spec Heal-focused, Off-spec DPS-focused
  • DPS: Primary Spec DPS-focused, Off-spec defense-focused

You can find the Off-spec Vendor located next to the regular Sovereign merchant, so be sure to check closely that you're purchasing the right set before buying anything.

Which Sovereign set should I pick?

As always, this is situational and depends on your playstyle and type of build you'd like to bring to combat. Some players also combine bonuses from Sovereign with other set bonuses.

Set Bonuses

Wearing 2 or more pieces of Sovereign will grant your character additional set bonuses.

  • Defensive Tanks share the same bonuses across all classes. Offensive Tanks share almost all bonuses, but gain different 8-piece abilities.
  • For DPS Sets, if you see an ←, it means this class gains the same benefit listed in the left column.
