Vanguard Monks

Does anyone have the stats and / or pics for the monk celestial ward armour.  Also if anyone has some tips on gaining faction that would be good too.  I started grinding faction all night last night... Did the quest to kill the bloodhowlers x50 and x100 which gave 250, and 500 faction.  But being an orc that only put me up to dynamic faction (2052) full faction(52).

the quest to pick up mushrooms is pretty quick. 500 faction to get 20 mushroom

Here's a nice pic of the armor and the stats of each piece posted by Swang  on Ten Ton Hammer (http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=609).

It's even on an orc  ;)

Here's a good little ditty (http://mmostrategyguides.com/ancient_armor_quests_-_vanguard.html) on faction questing and what you need to make the armor.

Can you tell I've been researching it, too?  :)

**NOTE:  I'm not sure how up to date the info in these links is or how it's going to change with GU4.  If I find any glaring differences while I'm running thru doing the wardship thang, I'll be sure to post them here.  I'm a dark elf by the way, so I'm facing a similar faction deficit.

Thanks for the info.  My monk is an orc too :)

Last night i grinded away at it again... did the mushroom quest once... started working on the forgotten ring  quest (which gives no faction btw) and also picking up tomes and runes from the ruins.  The mushroom quest is good xp but its best to pick them up while doing other things.

One thing i found is that I am not getting 20 faction for the named mobs (at least outside VT), just 2 like normal.

I also discovered there is swords in the ruins you can touch one time for faction too... I dont know if they each have their own set number, but i found the more swords (of fallen soldiers) i touched the more faction they would give...So i got 20 faction for the first 3 or so , 40 faction for the next two and then 80 faction for the last one... I am still looking for more swords :)  I also discovered a very nice yellow martial sword that gives 15% parry.

I found another quest (which I have yet to complete) from a guy towards the southwest of the moon town.  It is to slay 30x alive wolfs and 15x spirit wolves.. I will let you know if it gives any faction when i finish.

I also received new quests at about 1000 faction and 2000 faction from both the ranger town in the swamp and the main town.

Its been taking me about 3.5 hours to get 2k faction.

ok the guy is beside a tree SW of the wardship of the sleeping moon loc -5240, 5795, 9761 (-23, 25) and the quest is to kill 30 live wolves and 15 spirit wolves... this gave 250 faction but can be done while killing the bloodhowlers... its a one time only quest.

Thanks for all the info. I out leveled this quest on my main way back when, and am looking forward to doing it with an alt or two. Probably my monk being one of them :)
