Chosen Armor & Weapons - L40 Gear Progression

Since I am now looking at getting new armor at level 40 I began picking the brains of the more knowledgeable Chosen in our WAR community. Not all of us cruised right through to 40 and as we add new players I thought this information might be helpful.

Here is a basic armor progression I was given. This is not set in stone and you may be able to skip around depending on your PvE or RvR schedule. Thanks to Eol, Quorteth, and Abr4 for answering my many questions on the Warhammer Alliance Forums. These pieces can also be mixed and matched depending on your PvE or RvR needs (Greater Wards, Sword and Board build, Two Handed build, RvR only, etc)

Blood Lord (Bastion Stairs) or Annihilator (Keep gold bags) then;
Conqueror (Fortress gold bags) or Sentinel (Bloodwrought Enclave & Bilerot Burrow - IC Dungeons) then;
Dark Promise (Lost Vale) or Invader (Altdorf stage 1?) then;
Warlord or (new gear coming from the new dungeon coming soon) then;
Sovereign



For weapons and shields, there are a few good stepping stones for level 40 weapons. These all have hidden procs and are relatively quick to run. I soloed through all of them at 39 without breaking a sweat. They can be obtained through three different quests. One for each race: Greenskins, Dark Elves or Chaos. You can run each quest line and get three rewards. Just make sure which you want, because once you select you are stuck with your choice. After these, many of the T4 RvR influence rewards will be your next logical step.
