Each faction in Cyrodiil received a new vendor with the 1.3 update. This vendor (which some have referred to as an elite vendor) sells upper level (VR12) versions of the lower level set pieces (such as the Ravager set). AD and DC have their new vendors; but the new vendor for EP (named Walks the Path) is currently bugged and is not visible or interactable in the game. The vendor's name can be seen on the map at the bottom of the list of vendors at the Merchant House at the North Morrowind Gate. A CS rep told me the vendor should be located near the stacks of chopped wood by the entrance near the stable and near the other vendor by the wood (Bothas).
Even though these new vendors are charging 200K+ AP for their pieces instead of the new reduced rate of 33K AP, I would still like to pick up some new pieces and try the new sets they supposedly offer.
@ZOS_BrianWheeler Is there any chance this can be fixed soon given how it puts EP at a minor disadvantage while this vendor is missing?
