Valor guide? Oh.. no problem. "and now, childs, forgot everything you've heard ealier" . And at first - forgot about experimental armor, absolutely useless quest for those, who don't want to get exp.
So. You should begin your valor-hunting at SECOND level. The goal is to get 70 sculps being 2nd - hunting for stupid humans looters, thanks them for such ability they give to us. Places for hunting - Budrimach, Vurdalia, etc. and don't forget that 2nd level can use poison scrolls. Explaing why: after levelup to 3rd and mining quests for UK rep ( wow, such a surprize - you can do it in leather! LOL) you can close the initiation quest without 3 victories in the row. Very useful - cause you don't get the exp points for unnecessary CC. After the initiation you are in "Fighter" rank so can buy arsenal's bears.. Now it's the time to think about UK feats, and you should do it by RIGHT way...
To be continued?
Seriously - if interesting, I can tell what to do later. WITHOUT experimental armor and the rubbish like "to wait till somebody'll join to your fight"..
