Vainglorious Set: Destruction Guide Destruction-icon.png

This guide is for the Epic Quest Vanity Is Its Own Reward, and will help you acquire the Vainglorious Set within Return of Reckoning.

Besides gear, this quest line also grants players access to a number of previously unavailable armor designs that match sets you'll unlock via RvR and PvE. These are listed in the guide with "Matching Visual Set" notes.

Before you get started

You can take the Vainglorious Quest at any level, but before starting, some important tips:

  • This Epic Quest line may take you a number of hours to complete, (on average, 2-4 hours) so bring along friends, guildmates, or find others in LFG to make the experience more enjoyable.
  • When grouping, a maximum of 6 people (one party) is recommended as only one party can gain kill credit at a time for the quest.
  • Try to have at least 32 open spaces of Inventory if you plan to complete this Quest in one session.


Because there is no level requirement for these quests, it is possible for strong players to carry lower level friends or others through these quests and earn them this gear early, even at level 1.

Speak to Pyris Painbled in the Slaneesh Quarters at the Southwest corner of The Inevitable City to begin the quest.

Step 1

Head to the Inevitable City and make your way Southeast to the Slaneesh Quarters.

Do your best to ignore all those sexy Slaneeshi NPCs and talk to Pyris Painbled to accept the first part of the quest.

Step 2

Once you accept the quest, fly to Norsca and head to the Ruinous Powers PQ in the North. Clear the PQ and get credit for killing the final boss. Head northwest across the bridge towards Chaos Chapter 1, and turn in the quest.

You'll receive the Thorshafn Belt (Matching Visual set: Decimator), and your choice between four Norscan Farmer dyes.

Step 3

Accept the next part of the quest and head Southwest to the Holmsteinn Revisited Public Quest.

Here, kill Boswald Griev, the final boss of the PQ, and then head back to Chaos Chapter 2.

You'll receive the Holmsteinn Belt (Matching Visual Set: Carnage), and another choice between four Norscan Farmer dyes.

Step 4

Accept the next part of the quest and head a few steps over to the Destruction of the Weak Public Quest.

Kill 'em all, and then turn in the quest nearby to get the Norscan Grimbraces (Matching Visual set: Decimator) and another choice between the same dyes.

Step 5

Accept the next quest and head to the Suderholm Public Quest, just southwest of your current location.

As you arrive at the PQ, find yourself inexplicably attacked by every Raven in a 2 mile radius as you burn the town, then kill the boss.

Head back to Chaos Chapter 2 and turn in the quest to earn the Suderholm Belt (Matching Visual Set: Tracker) and another choice of dyes.

Step 6

Use the Flight Master in your current camp to fly to Nordland, then head east to Pillage and Plunder Public Quest.

As the title suggests, do some pillaging and plundering, and once you defeat the boss, return to Chaos Chapter 3.

Turn in the quest to receive the Plunderer's Gloves (Matching Visual Set: Carnage), and your choice of four different dyes.

Step 7

Accept the next part of the quest and head just across the road to the Macabre Fervor Public Quest.

Kill the PQ Boss and return to earn the Macabre Shoulders (Matching Visual Set: Decimator) and a new choice between five different dyes, Including Chaos Black, Chaos Sky Blue, and Chaos Navy Purple.

Step 8

It's time for the Hard PQ. Accept the next quest and head East to the Wilds of War Public Quest.

Once cleared, you can use your War Report to Nordland to save time running back to the quest giver.

Turn in this quest to receive the Wilds of War Shoulders, and another choice of the same Dyes.

Step 9

Next, you'll be heading further Southeast to the Sacred Ground PQ to kill a White Wolf.

Once complete, head to Chaos Chapter 4 to turn in the quest and acquire the White Wolf Shoulders. Like before, you'll get another choice between special Chaos dyes.

Step 10

You've been on this quest for a while now, so let out a little frustration by accepting the next quest and razing an entire town to the ground in the Fields of Woe Public Quest.

Once complete, you'll be heading South to turn in the Quest and receive your final quest for Tier 1!

Step 11

Accept the final Tier 1 PQ Quest and head through the nearby tunnel to arrive within the town.

Make a mockery of the Empire's guards while screaming: "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD" through the streets to impress the local roleplayers, then casually kill the PQs final bosses.

It's a long run back to Chaos Chapter 4, so you can use your War Report to Nordland here to save a little bit of time.

Once back, turn in the quest and pick another set of Chaos Dyes as your reward.

Step 12

Take the next part of the quest and use the Flight Master in Chapter 4 to fly to Ostland.

If you were debolstered, take a momment to reset your tactics so they function again, and then hug your 50-60% Movement speed mount - you never realized just how much you loved them until they were gone.

Head towards the Bells of War Hard PQ in the West, and kill the boss to complete the quest.

Once done, run South to Chapter 5 to complete the quest, and take a close look at the belt you receive: it's one of a number that now include Talisman slots.

Step 13

Accept the next quest, and once you have it, use the camp's Flight Master to fly to --> Troll Country, and then immediately fly back to --> Ostland.

This little trick will put you much closer to the Wayshrine of Sigmar PQ, which is the next stop on your ever-growing trail of murder.

Once the PQ boss is dead, make your way Northwest to Chaos Chapter 6, which is located not far and just barely into Troll Country.

Step 14

To get to the next PQ, first fly to Ostland from the flight master in Chapter 6, then fly back to Troll country. This will place you much closer to your destination - now head east to the Griffon Outpost and complete the PQ.

Once this PQ is complete, see if there's a War Report active for High Population in Ostland - if so, take it! Otherwise, you can either fly or run south back to Chaos Chapter 7 in Ostland to turn in this quest.

Turning this in will grant you (x item) and another choice of Dyes. (You can never have enough Dyes.)

Step 15

Next, fly back to Troll Country and make your way Northeast to the Plaguewood Thicket Public Quest.

  • In this PQ, you can skip a number of enemies by simply clicking the flags after the first phase.

Once this PQ is done and the quest completed, turn it in nearby at Chaos Chapter 8 to get (x item) and even more Dyes.

Step 16

Accept the next quest, where you'll learn that Papa Nurgle has been up to no good, and it's time to go show him a thing or two about playing nice with his diseases.

Head Northwest to Tearing the Portal, wipe out his forces and the PQ Boss, and then Southeast to Chapter 9 to turn it in.

This quest reward will grant you the Soulblight Shoulders (Matching Visual Set: Havoc).

Step 17

Take a moment to appreciate that you've just grinded through a considerable number of PQs. Take a moment to stand up and grab a drink.

All done with that? Then let's keep going!

Step 18

It's time to leave Troll Country behind. Accept the next quest, run East to Talabecland, and complete the Mud Flats PQ not far from where you spawn in.

Once done, turn that back in at Chaos Chapter 10 to receive (x item) and another set of dyes.

Step 19

Accept the head next quest and head north to the Serpent's Fang Bandits PQ.

As you clear this PQ, ponder the curious placement of wenches and Slaaneshi demons, including the Slaaneshi Harem at the end, and smile and nod as you understand why this game did not receive an E for Everyone Rating.

With the Slaaneshi harem defeated and with the crippling realization that you will likely never be cool enough to get one of your own, perk yourself up by heading to Chaos Chapter 11 and with the knowledge that a very special reward awaits.

This time you'll get Humble Origins, the first piece of your Vainglorious Set!

Step 20

Now that you have a fancy belt with a Talisman slot, reconsider never getting your own harem as you accept the next part of the Quest and make your way East to the Bitterspring PQ.

The fastest way there is through the RvR Lake, as long as it's not active and crawling with those nasty Witch Hunters.

Once you clear the Bitterspring PQ, turn it in nearby at Volgen, Chaos Chapter 12.

This reward will grant you the Bitterspring Belt (Matching Visual set: Devastator/Mayhem). This belt, as with many others in this quest line, also comes with a Talisman slot.

Step 21

Accept the next Quest, and fly to High Pass.

Follow the main road Southeast and then the smaller road North over the ice bridge to arrive at the PQ.

  • IMPORTANT: It is possible to complete this PQ without killing the boss which you need for the quest. Make sure to kill the boss before blowing the super-cool, ridiculously-huge Horn in the final stage.

Once done, head back to Chapter 13 and turn in the quest to receive the Helm of the Tempest Horn. and Now turn in the quest, then head Northeast and take the Cave at the next chapter to quickly get to the next PQ. Once this is done, die to the champion mobs nearby for a quick trip back to the Chapter 14 camp. Turn in the quest, and next, it's time to head to the Chaos Wastes! Use the Flight Master in the Chapter camp. Head north do PQ head north to camp Head south do PQ head north to camp nearby Time to head back to IC! You finished all the PQs! But there's one more step... Time to hit up Gunbad! Kill Big Oaf in Gunbad Middle Wing (First Boss). You did it! Quest is over!
