Introduction
At level 45 the swamp armor quests become available, though you are able to farm for pieces beforehand. These are usually considered a prequisite for raiding at level 50+. The sets are divided into three factions, serving three statistics specializations.
- Gorgalok Armor: This set is focused on offensive statisitics like +damage, and +critical chance. This set requires killing in Ichtakhta.
- Ichtakhta Armor: This set is focused on defensive statistics like +mitigation, and +absorption. This set requires killing in Flordiel.
- Flordiel Armor: This set is a balanced set, mixing statistics. This set requires killing Gorgolaks in Vsurog Moor.
Before beginning the quests it is important to decide which set you want to go after. As the three sets are separated by faction, when you quest for one set, you'll be losing faction with another, making doing multiple sets relatively difficult.
Location
The Swamps can be found at the southwest of Thestra. The nearest riftway is the Red Rift at the Deadbog.
It is easiest reached by going to the Deadbog Rift and then heading south.
Regardless of which faction you decide you want to go for, it may be an idea to set up in Ruin Falls, which is just north of Vsurog Moor on this map. There you will find a bind stone, a mailbox, and shops to do your selling.
Earning Faction
Before you can talk to the questgiver you must attain 2001 faction with them, this can be done in a number of ways:
- Speak to your factions Neutral NPC and get the Ankh of the Fungus King quest.
- Complete Crafting work orders at Ruin falls for your chosen faction, the faction amounts depend on your level.
- Kill opposing faction members in the swamps, there are colection quests at the Neutral NPC's for faction also.
