Steel Warrior Armor
|
The Beginning
Go to Arinna Trueblade in The Arena which is located in West Freeport. Tell her you are a Warrior and are ready to begin your testing. She will give you a Steel Warrior's Mail Kit. Then you ask her for the recipes for each piece you want to make. The recipes can be found below, but you must ask her so she can give you the special "Mold" for each piece. I suggest storing the Kit and molds in the Bank - as the Kit is heavy (weight 10.0) and you won't need to hold all those molds until the last minute.
Arinna will tell you the ingredients that need to be mixed in the Kit. This will produce what looks like a sheet of metal. Take this sheet and the corresponding special mold and combine them in a Forge. You will have your new armor!
For all of your pieces you are going to need Bricks of Crude Iron Ore. These can be looted from orcs in the East Commons (they spawn on the hill directly across from the first Inn). However, these bricks are heavy (weight 15.0) and after two you're usually encumbered. If you can find a Magician willing to make you a weight reduction bag - you'll be in luck. However, after doing this the hard way - hunting orcs and slowly hauling a few bricks to the bank - then repeating the process - I finally found a merchant selling the bricks! Tysa Sandfisher at the little dock in North Ro sells these *sometimes*. I've seen them here - but I've also *not* seen them here. It's worth checking out. Again, you'll need a weightless bag to carry more than one or two!
For other ingredients - check the merchants! Usually you can find what you seek from the merchants in the area the creature spawns in. Other players have looted and sold these items to the merchants and some times you can luck up and find what you are seeking (except for the Lore items). Always check all the merchants in a given area!
Steel Warriors Boots
Ingredients:
1 Brick of Crude Iron Ore
1 Shadow Wolf Tibia
A Shadow Wolf Tibia can be found in East Commons from killing Shadow Wolves deep in the woods.
2 Spiderling Eyes
Spiderling Eyes can be found by killing Spiderlings in North Ro or East Commons.
Steel Warriors Armguards
Ingredients:
2 Bricks of Crude Iron Ore
2 Young Kodiak Paws
Young Kodiak Paws can be looted from Young Kodiaks in East Commons. However, they con red for low level players. I got my paws from one of the merchants in East Commons - I believe the third or fourth set of cabins.
1 Young Plains Cat Scalp
Young Plains Cat Scalps come from Young Plains Cats in East Commons, and even, occasionally, from Puma's in North Ro.
1 Freeport Stout
Freeport Stout gave me a time! No one I asked had heard of it - nor could I find it in *any* pub! Finally, I found this elusive drink. You must go to Grub N' Grog in East Freeport (behind Freeport Milita and Soulbinder). Bartender Jaleel Hoglomp sells the Freeport Stout.
Steel Warriors Gauntlets
Ingredients:
3 Bricks of Crude Iron Ore
1 Armadillo Tail
Armadillo Tails can easily be looted from Armadillos in East Commons.
1 Severed Orc Foot
Severed Orc Foots are a rare drop from orcs. I found mine from a merchant - though I can't remember if it was in Freeport or East Commons. Check around - because this changes.
2 Spider Legs
Spider Legs are looted from Giant Spiders in East Commons or Giant Tarantulas in North Ro. Since these are not easily killable by low levels - look to the merchants. I bought mine from merchants in East Commons for cheap.
Steel Warriors Greaves
Ingredients:
4 Bricks of Crude Iron Ore
1 Giant Fire Beetle Brain
Giant Fire Beetle Brain, naturally, comes from offing Giant Fire Beetles in East Commons.
1 Bottle
Bottles can be found from any merchant that sells liquor.
1 Young Puma Skin
Young Puma Skin is looted from Puma's in North Ro or Young Plains Cats in East Commons. It's a Lore item, so can't be bought or traded.
Steel Warriors Helm
Ingredients:
2 Bricks of Crude Iron Ore
1 Rat Ear
Rat Ears can be looted from Rats outside of the West or South Gates or purchased from merchants.
1 Meat Pie
Meat Pie can be bought from merchants in Freeport. You cannot make your own meat pie, I found out the hard way. The ingredients will not combine.
1 Barley
Barley can be found from the merchant Kyrstyn Charcoal. It took me forever to find Barley! You can find Ms. Charcoal standing in the corner in West Freeport just before the zone to North Freeport.
Steel Warriors Bracer
Ingredients:
1 Brick of Crude Iron Ore
1 Rotting Zombie Skull
Rotting Zombie Skull can be purchased from just about any vendor in North Ro or the tunnel leading to EC.
1 Snake Bile
Snake Bile drops from Rattlesnakes near the Inn in North Ro. Large rattlesnakes do not drop this.
1 Tiny Dagger
Tiny Daggers can be purchased from merchants in Mithanial Marr in North Freeport, and the Academy of Arcane Sciences in West Freeport.
Steel Warriors Breastplate
Ingredients:
5 Bricks of Crude Iron Ore
1 Deathfist Orc Skull
Deathfist Orc Skulls are a rare drop from Deathfist Orcs in North Ro. I've never seen an orc in East Commons drop this - but that doesn't mean they can't. Again, check with your local, friendly merchants.
1 Woven Spider Silk
Woven Spider Silk comes from Large or Giant Spiders in East Commons. I was able to get mine from an East Commons merchant.
1 Armadillo Carapace
Armadillo Carapace is a No Drop item. However, it drops often from Armadillos in North Ro.
1 Matted Lion Pelt
Matted Lion Pelt drops from Woodland Lions in East Commons. You'll need help if your low level, because Lions con red (at Level 6 I know for sure). I believe Woodland Lioness drops this item, also. Check with your merchants.
1 Rusty Short Sword
Rusty Short Sword can be purchased from any weapon-selling merchant or looted from Decaying Skeletons in any zone.
Steel Warriors Sword
Arinna tells of you of a special sword - the final task. I haven't completed the sword quest, yet, so I don't know about the weapon itself. But here are the ingredients and the ones I've found so far.
Ingredients:
1 Pristine Giant Scarab Leg
Pristine Giant Scarab Leg seems to be non-existant! Though people have told me they've found a Giant Scarab Leg off Giant Scarabs in North Ro - no one seems to have ever heard of a "Pristine" one. If you have - or know where to find one, please email me.
1 Lion Paw
Lion Paws, I assume come from the same Lions in East Commons that drop the Matted Pelts. I've yet to find a Lion Paw, I believe it is a rare drop.
1 Vial of Smoke
Vial of Smoke can be looted from Willow Wisps in East Commons. Don't ask me how I found that out - it's a secret.
