It is beautiful, my Darkforge Armor !!!
THE DARKFORGE ARMOR :
I learnt that there was a specific armor for the Shadow Knights, the Darkforge. Having investigated, I discover that the pieces of this armor, seven in total, are the reward of quests. It is necessary to question a "Undead Knight" in the Najena dungeon and one in the Mistmoor's cemetery Castel to obtain the wanted information. Najena is a rather easy donjon for me, I begin so there. I enter Najena to fall face to face with... "Undead Knight"!!! Died to laugh... A fellow has just tried to attack it and I think that he did not know that this charming chap is level 45!! The lad ran away and has trained the Undead to the zone... Cool!
I open the conversation and I learn that it is necessary to give him back :
  • 2 Decayed Gauntlets and 1 bar of platinum enchanted to obtain the gloves.
  • 2 Decayed Greeves and 2 melatites to obtain the gauntlets.
  • 2 Decayed Boots and 2 Faeries's dusts to obtain the boots.
My journey according to brings me in the Mistmoor's cemetery Castel. This castel is that of a vampire, it is placed on an another continent, in full Dwarvish territory. As you suspect it, I am not the welcome in the region!! Thanks to my invisibility, I skip into the yard of the castel and I arrive at the cemetery... I enter the crypt, the Undead Knight is there that waits for me for the tea...
  • 1 Decayed Helm, 1 Decayed Visor and 2 helmets of the Freeport militia to obtain the helmet.
  • 1 Decayed Breastplate, 1 Decayed Mail and 2 bars of platinum enchanted to obtain breastplate.
  • 2 Decayed Vambraces and 1 shield of the Qeynos's guard to obtain the sleeves.
  • 2 Decayed Bracers and 1 Minotaur Hero Shackle to obtain the bracers.
I decide to begin my quest with the research of the "Decayed". My investigations bring back me to Cazic Thule where a Lizardman seems to be able to drop the first-rate items by dying!. Arrived at Cazic Thule, I learn that the lizard in question arrives only about every hour and that decayed are "Very Rare Drop"!! Arghhhhh!!!! I am going in resources for months to collect that quite!! The temple where appears the lizard is guarded by two gorillas. To spend time, I am engaged in a group which hunts these gorillas... A little later, the two gorillas died. One of the lads who loot the bodies announces: " To what use is a Decayed Boot? "!!!!???!!! I rush on the second Gorilla... Decayed Gauntlet!!!! I explain restlessly to my group that these wrinkles are precious objects for me. The pieces are "No. Drop", what want to say that one can not give them to somebody... It is necessary so that it is me that takes them on the corpses of the gorillas. The lads agree and I spend the next two hours to collect the invaluable things... After these two hours, the short story has made the tour of the world and here is Cazic Thule invaded by the Shadow Knights in search of Decayed Armors... I was the first to discover that the gorillas gave that!! Two or three days later, I am in ownership of all the "Decayed"'s items... The funniest in everything that, it is that two days after my departure, the gorillas did not give any more the Decayed!! In my guild, every call me Lucky Knight... And now, the other ingredients :
  • The enchanted bars of platinum are easy to find, I bought platinum (150pp the bar!) and a enchanter friend enchanted them to me free.
  • I found the Faerie's dust on the bodies of magnificent small flying sprites. I am almost ashamed.
  • I bought the shield of the Qeynos's guard to one elf of the wood for 10pp. A knickknack for me and a treasure for her, she did not still recover
  • The helmets of the Freeport militia were more difficult to find. It was necessary to make a complete group of my guild to kill the militiamen. These guards are very powerful, and some are able to annihilate a complete group. The problem, it is that they are grouped in front of Freeport. Our Clerk VINAMIN so elaborated a fine strategy... He casts a spell of fear on a minor monster which is roaming in front of Freeport, the monster runs away in the direction of the guards, and these pursue it!! The unfortunate guard remained behind is immediately attacked, executed and skinned of his helmet...
  • Melatite is a stone found on the minors Solusek's mines gnomes. These stones are very rare and one can spend hours to massacre gnomes without finding one of it... I would go later...
  • I heard that the "Minotaur Hero Shackle" is carried by a heros minotore very strong, it will be necessary that I investigate...
