Four of them can only randomly found at markets, Statue of a Sightless Man - Obsidian Bell - Namej's Ring - Björg av Leander, and they cost 20 renown each.
The rest can be gotten in different situations in the game.
In chapter 3, when you reach the Denglr godstone you have to choose, when promted, first to "gather whatever you can", followed by "take the necklace for yourself" to get the Five Ring Necklace.
In chapter 4, if you sided with Onef, raid the storehouse with him to get the Shepersky Stone.
If you decided to stay outside the walls of the town at the end of chapter 2, you've now the chance to fight three optional fights, if you fight and win all three you will get Calabilla.
When you rech the Marek godstone in chapter 4, you've the opportunity to let your people gather scales, if you let them gather all scales you'll lose some time but will receive the Godscale.
In chapter 6, later on Krumr wants to go back to fight the dredge following you, if you allow him to go, he will take some man with him and returns a few days later, with Dundr's Hand.
Also in chapter 6, you'll meet Sigbjorn, when you talk to him shortly afterwards, he'll make you an offer about mead, accept it and don't talk about it, you'll receive Bjorulf's Blessing
In chapter 7 you have to look for supplies in Boersgard, and you will get some hints of the possible location of an artifact, if you look another day for supplies, you'll have a chance to go get it and keep it, the Ash Mead.
When you visit the last godstone in the game (Strahv) in chapter 7, choose to climb higher and look for another piece, when you return to town, you'll get Strahv's Whetstone.
There is plenty of room to get five in one playthrough. I would suggest the following:
- Five Ring Necklace
- Either Calabilla or Shepersky Stone, depending on how you've ended chapter 2
- Dundr's Hand
- Bjorulf's Blessing
- Strahv's Whetstone
Any combination of five will net you the achievement, but I can't recommend to buy one from a market as the renown is better used to buy supplies and upgrading your heroes, also gathering the scales for the Godscale and looking for supplies to get the Ash Mead, will make you lose some days, which can be bad depending on the moral/supplies situation of your caravan. You also can't get Calabilla and Shepersky Stone, as I stated before, its depending on how you've ended chapter 2. The achievement will pop when you get your fifth rank 5 item.

Missable!
You should get this in step 1 on Normal. You can purchase such items (which shops they show up in is random) but that is not recommended as they're a waste of renown and several are given for free. Use the ones given for free in events to get this.
Sold at the market: Björg av Leander, Namejs' Ring, Obsidian Bell, Statue of a Sightless Man
Chapter 3: Five Ring Necklace - at Denglr Godstone keep the necklace for yourself (make sure to equip it on Gunnulf).
Chapter 4: Shepersky Stone - you need to loot the storehouse with Onef and take everything from there. Cannot get both this and Calabilla as that one requires you staying outside Frostvellr. Don't get this on your Hard playthrough as it will prevent Innocent?
Chapter 4: Calabilla - If you chose to remain outside Frostvellr in chapter 2, then after the opening battle in chapter 4, you will be able to do 3 optional battles. Completing all 3 will get you this item. Cannot get both this and Shepersky Stone as that one requires you staying in Frostvellr.
Chapter 4: Godscale - at Marek godstone you need to collect the scales. It'll take 3 days but you can still get Forced March?
.
Chapter 6: Dundr's Hand - allow Krumr to go back and fight dredge. He will return a day or so later with the item and some renown.
Chapter 6: Bjorulf's Blessing - Save Sigbjorn, take him along, and then help him in his drunk state. He'll then give you this as thanks.
Chapter 7: Ash Mead - Choose to "Find a source for supplies" and then to "Shake down places that seem to be holding out". The next day, you will get an event regarding this item whereupon you can choose to keep it. Note: This takes 2 days to do, and if you do it in day 1 & 2, then on day 3 an event will occur forcing a battle and killing Krumr. So do this on day 2 & 3 if going for it.
Chapter 7: Stravhs' Whetstone - at Stravhs godstone you need to select "Climb higher where it may be easier to remove" and then "Look for another piece". After returning to Boersgard the item will be given to you.
The, Pants, Party
There are 12 total Rank 5 items in the game. A few can be purchased in the market and will show up randomly. These are: Bjorg av Leander, Namej's Ring, Statue of a Sightless Man, and Obsidian Bell. They cost quite a bit of renown (20 each), so I'd suggest getting a few of the others, which require specific actions during the story to acquire. These are:
- Chapter 2: Calabilla - When you arrive in Frostvellr, choose to camp outside the walls. Then, at the beginning of Chapter 4 you will start outside and have three optional battles. If you win all three, you acquire it.
- Chapter 3: Five Ring Necklace - At Denglr godstone you need to choose "Gather whatever you can" and then "Take the necklace for yourself" to acquire it.
- Chapter 4: Shepersky Stone - You need to loot the storehouse with Onef before you leave Frostvellr and take everything for yourself.
- Chapter 4: Godscale - At Marek godstone you need to allow your caravan to continue collecting scales until they find them all.
- Chapter 6: Dundr's Hand - When you are traveling, allow Krumr to go back and fight dredge when he asks. He will return a few days later with the new item.
- Chapter 6: Bjorulf's Blessing - During an event shortly after Sigbjorn joins, choose "help him recover" and he will give you this item.
- Chapter 7: Ash Mead - Choose to look for supplies in Boersgard (shake down option), and then on the next day you will receive a hint to its location. Spend another day looking for supplies to collect it, and on the next day after a fight you can visit the location. Choose to keep it however you retrieve it.
- Chapter 7: Stravhs' Whetstone - At Stravhs godstone you need to choose to climb higher and look for another piece. After returning to Boersgard the item will be given to you.
