Heavy Aurora Vendor
Ah, well that’ll be one of the vendors in either Malchor’s Leap or Cursed Shore. HOWEVER the armour from these vendors actually have mixed stats, the helmet has one set of stats, shoulder a different set etc. etc., so you’re going to struggle to find a full set of toughness and vitality from a single vendor.
All right, so it has different stats each time the vendor spawns? (Were does the vendor spawn exactly?)
Then it would be easier to just farm up the gear from dungeons instead? Think Ascalonian Catacombs have the vit+toughness stats. And then if you want the look of Aurora just buy it and use the skin if you like.
Am I correct here?
No. Different pieces have different (but set) stats. The heavy helm, for example, always has healing/precision/vitality, while the heavy pauldrons have power/toughness/vitality. And for the record, the Aurora vendor spawns at the temple of Melandru in the Cursed Shore (near Verdance Waypoint), although it takes a group event to open it.
While dungeon runs may be easier for you, depending on what kind of content you enjoy and how many people are still farming Orr on your server, you could in theory get most of your set from karma if you wanted. If you’re after the runes of Melandru specifically, it’s the only way to get them.
And in case you haven’t seen it, here’s a table of armor stat combinations.
Aha, that cleared up alot. Well, I’m only after the vit+toughness stats so I’ll go dungeon runs instead were you can get full tough+vit on all pieces.
What you have to do is go to all the different temples and buy the toughness and vitality pieces from each vendor. You’ll end up with 1 entire set.
It’s pretty easy to get 5 of the vit + toughness exotic armor pieces from the temples. The Aurora set has 4 pieces (shoulders, chest, leggings and gauntlets) from the Melandru temple. The boots you can get from Lyssa or Grenth. Those are what I’m wearing. I don’t think any of the temples have the helmet with those two combined stats.
