The Guard of the North Set is a unique early armour set worn by the soldiers of the boss Lord Vorgoth, and it suits any class. It gives strong damage and health for its level. Every piece shortens the time in the Shroud. Each piece lies in its own gold chest around Pikemead's Reach.

Pieces

The helmet raises critical hits and backstab damage, and the gloves add melee, magic and ranged damage. The chestplate adds health, and the pants and boots add stamina, sprint speed and regeneration. A full set takes five minutes off the Shroud timer, so it shines outside the Shroud.
