Vanguard Equipment

Overview
Quest Summary: Go to Regent Valley. Acquire the Vanguard equipment from Gelsan Obtained by: Captain Arne in Ascalon City Requirements: None Reward: Mission Text: There are no more stalwart people than the people of Ascalon. They see the good work that Prince Rurik and his Vanguard are doing, and each day their will to take the fight to the Charr grows. I have more volunteers to join the Vanguard than I can equip. I've ordered equipment and supplies for several new recruits from a merchant named Gelsan in Regent Valley, and I'd be greatly appreciative if you could go pick up the equipment and return it here to me. If you're willing to help, just travel south out of Fort Ranik into Regent Valley. He'll be along the road somewhere.

Walkthrough
Go to Fort Ranik and head out the front gate. Gelsan is just out front. When you talk to him he'll tell you that some bandits took the Vanguard Equipment and that you need to go return it to him before you and take it back to Captain Arne. Continue south past the resurrection shrine and bear left. Eventually you'll find the 3 bandits with the loot. Kill them and return to Gelsan and he'll inform you that "oops I had it here all the time" and will give you the real Vanguard Equipment. Return to Captain Arne for your reward.
