Virtue Armor Quest

The Virtue Armor quest outlines from Release Instructions were popular, and I did get all the pieces, so here are the valuable virtue banners. Keep in mind this is some end-game stuff. I'll try to list them in order of difficulty... many players treasure these banners and you can sell them for gold (after obtaining your only banner) at vendors.

From Release 46+ Notes:

Virtue Banners: We have created banners for the 8 virtues, the 3 principles and for the unifying principle of Ethos (aka Virtue). The visuals for these were inspired by Tibetan prayer flags in size, colors, and material. These banners can be obtained by completing quests along the main paths and through various side quests.

---

• Candle of Love Banner: Obtained by finishing the Solace Bridge Outskirts main quest.
• Bell of Courage Banner: Obtained by finishing the Highvale Outskirts main quest.
• Book of Truth Banner: Obtained by finishing the Blood River Outskirts main quest.

---

• Ankh of Spirituality Banner: Obtained by learning about the virtues from the devotional caretakers of New Britannia. [++]
• Banner of Honesty: A puzzle reward in the revised East Longfall Wetland includes the ability to collect the Banner of Honesty.
• Loreley’s Sketchbook: This side quest in Desolis now awards the Banner of Compassion. (Players who already completed this quest can return to Harley Redwool in Desolis and say “hello” for the banner.)
• Find Veimor: This side quest in Braemar that sends you to West Ravenswood now rewards the Banner of Humility. (Players who already completed this quest can return to Bridget Helvig in Braemar and say “hello” for the banner.)

---

• Banner of Justice: Deep in the Elysium Mines is a powerful ghost, doomed to haunt the mines after being betrayed ages ago by his own twin brother. Find a way to engage the ghost in combat and take his treasured Banner of Justice!

---

• Sword of Valor Banner: Obtained by defeating the Tier 10 enemy in Courage Club.
• Chalice of Honor Banner: Obtained from the treasure room after defeating an Ebon Dawn Shadow Master in the heart of Brittany Sewers.
• Defeating Cabalists: The Defeating Cabalists side quest (gained from scouts in sieges) now rewards the Banner of Sacrifice. (Players who already completed this quest can return to a scout in any siege and say “hello” to get the banner.)

---

• Fading Memories: A forlorn skeleton in the Lost Vale is having trouble remembering his past. Help him regain what he’s lost by successfully completing the “memories” within that area. In the end, you’ll earn the Banner of Ethos (and unlock the ability to re-play each memory with a higher challenge level).

[++] And from R40 Release Instructions:

Devotional Shrines: There are now devotional shrines to the three principles and 8 virtues in cities and villages across Novia. There are also NPCs who attend to these shrines. These shrines also now properly attract the attention of the Cabalist Town Sieges.

As a starting point I go to the Release Instructions, thought it might be useful for folks:

---

R48 -------------------------------------------------

Solania: An old woman in the crafting pavilion hopes you’ll complete a task for her within the new Lost Whiteguard Silver Mine. The one who helps her will receive a new Leather Chest Armor of Love gift.

Storm’s Reach: A man near an entrance to the new Understorm Gold Mine believes the elves that operate the mine are up to no good, but he needs evidence. Will you help him find out if his conspiracy theory is correct? Successfully completing his mission will inspire him to award you the new Cloth Robe of Truth.

Jaanaford: A satyr awaits at the concealed entrance to the Broken Echoes Silver Mine, hoping to find a human to act as an intermediary between him and his irate miners. Those who successfully help the satyr will be awarded the new Plate Chest Armor of Courage.

=== -------------------------------------------------

Highvale Outskirts: Huntsman Sven in his hunting cabin is looking for courageous Outlanders to kill the rogue Kobold Frostgeist. Doing so will lead you to the quest that awards the Plate Helm of Courage.

Blood River Outskirts: Gus, the friendly automaton, is looking for his dormant automaton monkeys. Returning one to him will lead you into the quest that awards the Cloth Hood of Truth.

Solace Bridge Outskirts: Farmer Filmore is in mourning for his love, Betty the Chicken. Avenging her for him by killing the wolves will award you the Leather Helm of Love.

There are so many experience points for the Outskirts quests that I can't quite figure out how much was awarded here.

R49 -------------------------------------------------

Virtue Armor Glove Quests: While fighting in random encounters, sometimes killing low-tier animals will draw out high-tier creatures. And some of those times you’ll meet a new person after those high-tier creatures are defeated. But whatever could they be doing in such a remote area? Whatever their reason for appearing, you might want to talk with them and see if they have a quest that results in something valuable! (Some of the quests offered by these characters will reward players with Truth, Love, and Courage gloves.) [Ben's note - Corpion seems to have all three according to the forums].

+4000 Producer XP and Adventurer XP

R50 -------------------------------------------------

Truth Boot Quest: A plunderer in the Sunless Barrens claims she escaped the clutches of the Ebon Dawn and could use your help stealing magical cloth from an evil cultist. Or maybe you’d rather help the cultist around the corner, who’s willing to help you better understand the ways of the Ebon Dawn? Pursue your own truth and Cloth Boots of Truth may come to you in the end!

Love Boot Quest: A mentor has brought her squires to the South Drachvald Spur to engage in a local custom, but is afraid the area has become too dangerous to venture around. Won’t you find it in your heart to help them with their custom? Doing so could end up getting you Leather Greaves of Love!

Courage Boot Quest: The blacksmith in Yew had his ingot shipment stolen. Are you brave enough to recover what’s been stolen? It just might set you on a path to earn Plate Greaves of Courage!

R51 -------------------------------------------------

Keep Your Pants On: Training the guard of Harvest is something Knight-Commander Torben takes very seriously. Help him hunt down an inspirational book written by a long-dead general and you might also find Plate Leggings of Courage in a place you never knew existed.

One Leg at a Time: Simone in Ardoris recently lost her daughter, a victim of a black arrow shot by a murderer. In her grief, she misplaced her late daughter’s favorite book. It’s up to you to recover that book (and gain Leather Leggings of Love along the way!).

Pants on Fire: Thibadeaux in Jaanaford is looking to build up her Reliquarium, and a pre-cataclysm relic is just the thing to do it. Journey across Novia to find the perfect item for her to display and you just might earn you own reward—namely, Cloth Leggings of Truth!
