The Sovereign Set

Speak to the Royal Quartermaster in the North of your Capital City to purchase Sovereign Armor.

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

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 Reingard Kolb (Order) or Strezhyrr (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. (There are no refunds!)

Sovereign Armor Costs

There's a separate vendor that sells Off-spec Sovereign sets, with different stats and bonuses. Make sure you're buying the right set!


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

Sovereign's 8-piece bonus will grant you special abilities, like "Leading the Charge", above, for defensive tanks.

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.
  • If your class is called out specifically on a bonus, it means they gain only the bonus listed after their class name on that row.
