When to Use It
End game. You need to have killed Fader to progress through the Deep North.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it twice at the Black Forge. Each step needs the station one level higher than the last: the first costs the per-level amount and the second costs twice that. Quality 4 would cost four times the per-level amount and needs a level 7 Black Forge, above its current maximum of 6, so that row is not yet available.

Properties
The Vanguard set is the medium armour of the north, with 34 armour a piece and 102 for the three pieces at quality 1, rising to 108 at quality 3. Its strength is the set bonus. Wear the whole set and the stamina cost of running drops by a tenth and of dodging by a fifth. It also adds a tenth to health and stamina regeneration and a tenth to pierce damage. That pierce bonus makes it the partner of the Nord Spear, Atgeir, Bow and Crossbow.
Its mould drops from Krigen that fight with a sword or greataxe. The drop rate is three in a hundred from a plain one, six from a one-star and twelve from a two-star.
It gives 34 armour at quality 1 and 38 at quality 3. It weighs 5 and has 1000 durability, rising to 1400 at quality 3.
Quality 4 needs a level 7 Black Forge, above its current maximum of 6, so in practice it stops at quality 3.
Crafted from scratch and taken to quality 3, it costs 30 Bloodgold, 20 Elaking Hair Bundles and 10 Seal Pelts in total, plus a mould and 5 Liquid Frost.
The Deep North offers these pieces for this slot. The Protector trousers give 44 armour at 5 weight, the Vanguard trousers 34 armour at 5 weight, and the Caller trousers 22 armour at 5 weight with -2% movement. They all weigh the same, so you are choosing between the Protector's armour, the Vanguard's set bonus and the Caller's eitr.
Notes
- Its cast takes twelve Bloodgold, eight Elaking Hair Bundles, four Seal Pelts and the mould.
- Once it reaches its last quality level, the Forge of Potential can push it further with a Bloodgold Protection Idol.
