Armour

There are several ways to acquire carrion armour on a F2P account but the quickest is typically using dungeon tokens to acquire carrion armour from the Citadel of Flame dungeon. Specifically you will want to purchase the Flame Legion light armour set (e.g. Flame Legion Vestments). Each piece of flame legion armour comes with a Superior Runes of Baelfire already attached.

Note, since the various dungeon currencies were condensed into a single currency (Tale of Dungeon Delving) you can earn the currency you need completing any dungeons you choose. However, in order to unlock the ability to purchase the flame legion armour set you will need to complete at least 6 citadel of flame explorable paths (e.g. each explorable path twice).

The full set of armour with pre-equipped runes will cost a total of 1,380 Tales of Dungeon Delving.

Trinkets

Consumables
