Raging Wolf Armor (Altered)

Armor worn by Vargram the Raging Wolf, one of the first Tarnished to visit the Roundtable Hold.

According to the old legends, wolves are the shadows of the Empyrean, and this is what Vargram aspired to be.

Fortified Manor main hall, then tailoring at a grace

Leyndell, Royal Capital

Starting Site of Grace: Fortified Manor, First Floor

Before you go

• Keep Bernahl alive and complete the joint assignment before Rykard and Maliketh.
• Obtain the regular chest and ordinary Tailoring Tools.

1. At Volcano Manor in Mt. Gelmir, speak to Tanith beside the armored knight and agree to join. Take the Drawing-Room Key and open the drawing room down the corridor. Collect the Letter from Volcano Manor from its table.
2. Read the letter to mark Old Knight Istvan on the map. In Limgrave, start at Warmaster's Shack east of Stormhill Shack and head north toward the colosseum. Find the red invasion sign below the approach to its entrance.
3. Use the red sign and defeat Old Knight Istvan in his world. This is the contract target, rather than a roaming knight. Winning gives all four regular Scaled armor pieces directly.
4. Return to Tanith and report the completed request for Magma Shot. Her spell reward is separate from the armor, and reporting the kill makes the next letter available.
5. Collect the second Letter from Volcano Manor from the drawing-room table. It names Rileigh the Idle in the Altus valley south of the Shaded Castle.
6. From Bridge of Iniquity, cross east and go south to the spiritspring. Use Torrent to descend safely in the spring, then continue southwest to the second spiritspring and descend again to the valley floor.
7. Head north through the valley to the red sign at the letter's map marker. Defeat Rileigh for Crepus's Vial and 20 Black-Key Bolts. Return to Tanith for Serpentbone Blade before continuing the manor quests.
8. After the second contract, speak to Bernahl in the drawing room and take Letter to Bernahl. You do not need to finish the later Juno Hoslow contract first. Keep Bernahl alive and complete this assignment before Rykard or Maliketh.
9. From Avenue Balcony, go down the northwest stairs and continue toward the huge petrified dragon. Climb its wing to the upper walkway, then take the passage and stairs to West Capital Rampart grace.
10. From West Capital Rampart, go southeast down the nearby stairs. Follow the lower corridor past the Oracle Envoys and pull the lever to open the large gate below.
11. Look west toward Fortified Manor. Drop from the lower walkway to the courtyard and go through the manor's large ground-level doorway. The nearby stable roofs lead to its upper floor, which is a different entrance.
12. Enter Fortified Manor's ground-floor hall and use the red sign to assist Bernahl against Vargram the Raging Wolf and Errant Sorcerer Wilhelm. This hall resembles the lower room at Roundtable Hold, but the sign is in Leyndell.
13. Defeat both opponents to receive the regular Raging Wolf outfit. Return to Bernahl at Volcano Manor and report the victory for the separate Gelmir's Fury sorcery. Finish that conversation before defeating Rykard.
14. For ordinary tailoring, defeat the two Demi-Human Chiefs in Coastal Cave on western Limgrave's beach to obtain the Tailoring Tools.
15. At a grace, choose Alter garments and change the chest for 500 runes, or use Boc's available tailoring service for free. This changes the piece you own and can be reversed.

Notes

• Weighs 9 and provides 19 poise. It has no hidden attribute, weapon or spell bonus.
• Bernahl's joint invasion awards the outfit. Killing him early prevents this assignment, and Maliketh removes access to the Royal Capital manor. Finish the invasion and report back before Rykard.
• The altered chest removes the cape and lowers weight, defenses and resistances. The full outfit with this chest weighs 23.1 and provides 42 poise, compared with 24.2 and 44 with the regular chest.
• Can be changed back through ordinary tailoring for 500 runes at a grace, or free through Boc. There is no special effect to lose by changing versions.
• The outfit's name does not add a separate combat effect. Its protection comes from the listed defenses, resistances and poise, rather than an attack or skill buff.
