Lord Searfire

Complete ro armor set

The Armor of Ro is a set of Paladin specific armor quested in The Temple of Solusek Ro. Each piece requires a Bar of Ronium and a mold, which are then combined in a forge. Separate faction work may be required for each piece, see the faction guide. Oddly, Lord Searfire seems to be wearing the full set, but the boots are actually bronze colored as shown on Siselk.

General Information

1) You need to get the mold for each item per turn in(one mold per item). You do this by fetching the quest items and turning them in to the NPC who gives the item quest. These NPC's are located in Rathe Mountains in the paladin camp (2930, -800).You need to have an amiably faction to get these quests. If your faction is not high enough, they will request that you go to their guild and talk to someone there first before getting the quest.

Boots of Ro (Turn in to Nicholas) - Kilij Plans

Bracers of Ro (Turn in to David) - Deepwater Goblin Net x 2

Breastplate of Ro (Turn in to Abigail) - Dark Cauldron x 2

Gauntlets of Ro (Turn in to Sentry Joanna) - A Locket

Greaves of Ro (Turn in to Elisabeth) - Nightfall Giant's Head

Helm of Ro (Turn in to Thomas) - Cyclops Skull x 2

Vambraces of Ro (Turn in to Marianna) - Rotten Shark Meat x 2

2) Once you get the mold for an item, you need to talk to Lord Searfire, the Dwarven Smith in The Temple of Solusek Ro. He must consider you amiably before he will deal with you. You will need an empty main inventory slot to accept the item he gives you.

You say, 'Hail, Lord Searfire'

Lord Searfire says, 'Greetings! May the glory of Solusek Ro burn in your veins. I am the forge master of this temple. Called to service by the Burning Prince. Should you ever need my service and find me gone. have no fear. I shall return. I must occasionally venture to other realms in service of the temple. I shall always return. this is my eternal home.'
(Note: punctuation matches in-game text, there are no commas in the first reply)

You say, 'Do you have ronium?'

Lord Searfire says, 'You seek ronium. It is a fine blend of metals. I alone hold the secret of its formula. I, and I alone, can offer it to those who serve this temple. Do you wish a [bar of the alloy]?'

You say, 'I wish a bar of the alloy'

Lord Searfire says, 'Take this Sol Cauldron. Within it shall be combined elements of this world. You will add to it, melatite, two bars of enchanted platinum, Mistmoore granite, the sands of Ro and soil of Underfoot. If you be a master blacksmith, the elements shall combine to make the enchanted metal I have named 'ronium.

You receive a Sol Cauldron. Combine the following ingredients (unstacked) in the Sol Cauldron to create A Bar of Ronium. Despite what Lord Searfire says, you do not need the blacksmithing skill to combine these.

• Melatite (Dropped by MB and MC Clockworks in Solusek's Eye.
  • You can also sometimes buy them from the Gnomes in Solusek's Eye since many players sell them if they find them)
  • A better option may be to hang around near the merchant and offer to buy them from players. The merchant buys them for less than 1 gold, but sells them for ~100pp. A player will usually sell for 10pp-20pp.
• Two Bars of Enchanted Platinum Bar
  • A level 34 enchanter with the Enchant: Platinum spell is required to enchant vendor-purchased Platinum Bars.
• Mistmoore Granite (from Gargoyles in Mistmoore)
  • If you are unable to get a group, you can hang around the Pond (west of area 13), CE (the ledge north of area 8) or CY (area 6) groups and ask to loot granite. It is often left to rot, or even destroyed. I got around 2 Mistmoore Granite per hour in a CE group.
• Sand of Ro (Dropped by A sand giant, Cazel, and Sandgiant Husam in North Ro, Oasis, and South Ro)
• Soil of Underfoot (Quested from Priestess Ghalea in the Kaladim cleric's guild)
  • You MUST have at least Kindly faction with Clerics of Underfoot, or the Priestess will take your items and give no reward. Give 4 Fairy Dusts to Priestess Ghalea to get 1 Soil of Underfoot. WARNING: The quest reward is a LORE item, use it before you try to get another.

3) Once you get the ronium, you need to combine it with the mold in a forge to make your item. Any regular forge will do (don't use the race forges). You no longer need the blacksmithing skill for this.

Mistmoore Granite

Mistmoore granite is fairly tough ingredient to get for making ronium. They come off all gargoyles but certain types it drop more frequently. There are Grinning, Sneering, Jeering, Leering and Flouting gargoyles. There are a few places to look for gargoyles.

1. "The Tower", close to the entrance, spawns two Grinning Gargoyles which have the lowest rate of dropping. This is the safest and slowest spot to get granite. Don't expect much at this spot.

2. In the "Canyon", past the "Pit", by Enyti there are 2 gargoyles by her. Most of the time it is Sneering Gargoyles but occasionally Jeering Gargoyles will show up. Rarely pulled because of close proximity to blood wolves which are much higher level.

3. At the "Castle Entrance", you can pull Gargoyles from inside castle and from the "Canyon" although Gargoyles don't spawn here. A good spot for experience and granite.

4. Past the Secret Room (SR), inside a little bit from the Tower, there are 2 gargoyles there (you turn left at the top of the stairs past the SR and its through the torture room...so you'll have to clear first)...this is near the Spa room where Xicotl the troll SK spawns (he has the hilt for SoulFire). If you go down the set of stairs from where those 2 gargoyles (instead of turning left and passing through the fake wall to the spa). There are 2 more gargoyles there and also another spawn (dark elf caster or melee types). Clear out this room. And then you can work 6 gargoyle spawns. The 2 up the stairs, 2 in that room and down yet another set of stairs are 2 more gargoyles and an occasional hallway roamer. So far this is the best place I have seen to get granite because you are working 6 gargoyle spawns. If you have a good group, you don't even need to be invis to get there... just fight your way in. Be careful that Xicotl isn't up...and don't go near the spa if so...as pulling him is dangerous if you are not prepared. (Mid 30's group should have little trouble with it).

5. Another good place (both easy each to break and has dropped well for me before) is in the servants rooms near the Kitchen. A group of level 32-36's can invis their way in there and take the kitchen and both of the servant rooms with little difficulty...hardest part is invising your way past everything else. Make sure the person who is invising/camoing has practiced their DIV skill. There is 1 gargoyle in each of the servants quarters. The Butler room is the safest to pull to because you will have no runners and you will only get the two spawns in there. It is better I've found to go in and break the kitchen...before you start pulling. As a double harm touch from the Cooks can be a real killer if you pull them.

Faction Guide

Deepwater Knights (Prexus) (Erudian - Erudin)

• The only way to raise faction with the DW knights is to kill Elial Brook at the docks in Toxxulia Forest. He spawns every 10 minutes. He is a Necro and is often with pet. I also found killing Aglthin Dasmore and Noclin Saah does the same thing.

• Once your faction is at indifferent or amiable, you can probably start doing quests directly from the Prexus temple.: Zombie Skins for facton at Deepwater Knights. This is for the Bracers. The Estate of Unrest is a good source for this.
• Odus Pearls Weligon Steelherder is also looking for Odus Pearls from the Odus harbor. These pearls sit underneath some very easy sharks.

Clerics of Underfoot (Brell Serillis) (Dwarven - Kaladim)

• The best way to raise Clerics of Underfoot and Miners Guild 249 faction is by bone chips questing. Give bone chips to Gunlok Jure in the Kaladim Paladin guild. This may take a couple hundred bone chips.

Clerics of Tunare (Tunare) (High Elf - Felwithe)

• Give bone chips to Yeolan Bronzeleaf in the cleric hall of Felwithe. I read it may take 400 bone chips.
• Give give muffins to Pandos, a dwarf in West Freeport. You can find Pandos on the 2nd floor of the Hogcallers' Inn.

Priests of Life & Knights of Thunder (Rodcet Nife & Karana) (Human - Qeynos)

• Bandit Sashes to Chesgard in the paladin guild.
• Give 2 gold to Lashun Novashine and/or 2 bone chips to raise Priests of Life faction.

Priests of Marr & Knights of Truth (Mithaniel Marr) (Human - Freeport)

• A way to raise faction with the Priests of Marr is to give bottles of milk to Mojak Hikspin, who fishes by the lake in West Commonlands. Giving Mojax milk will spawn a npc named Duggin Scumper, a thief. Kill Duggin and return the note to Eeyana Naestra in the Hall of Truth in North Freeport. If you dont want to run back and forth from WC to NFP, you can just keep giving milk to Mojax.
• Kill Orcs for Knights of Truth faction in the common lands or assist people who are killing orcs.

Solusek Ro (The Temple of Solusek Ro)

• The best way to raise Temple of Sol Ro faction is to seek out Rathmana in South Ro (NW corner of zone), and give him 30 gold/3pp at at time.
• Alternatively, if you're a dervish hunter, you can turn in 4 dervish rings to Ortallius, the orc who is next to Rathmana.
• If you hang around Mistmoore a lot, you can raise faction there if you camp in the graveyard. There is A flower that spawns in the crypt, which you can give to an outcast Shadowman named Ssynthi, who sits behind the crypt building. Be careful of the invisible pit traps inside the crypt! You simply go to the Graveyard in MM. In the tomb you will see a bag, pick it up. You'll find a flower on your cursor. Go behind the Tomb and there is an outcast Shadowed Man named Synthi there, give her the flower. Rinse and repeat. The flower spawns every 1 minute. When Synthi cons amiable to you, your faction is high enough.

For the Molds

Boots

Kilij Plans from Sandgiant Husam in the Southern Desert of Ro.

Bracers

Two Deepwater Goblin Nets from the A goblin net master in Lake Rathetear.

Breastplate

Two Dark Cauldrons from the Cooks in Mistmoore Castle

Greaves

Head of a Nightfall Giant in West Commonlands.

Gauntlets

Locket from Sentry Alechin who wanders in Southern Karana. He tends to roam from Paw, to the Wizard Pyramid, to the Hermit Hut, to the Aviak City and then back to Paw. He may hang around the hermit hut a lot. Note that he is a good guy. At night, he turns into "a werewolf," for the poor knight is stricken with lycanthropy. Aim to kill him as a werewolf, for it results in no faction hits. Killing him in his human form results in good-aligned faction hits, but still drops the locket.

Vambraces

Two Rotten Shark Meats from Plague Sharks just off the coast of the Wisp Island in Erud's Crossing.

Helm

Two Cyclops skulls from Undead Cyclops in Southern Karana who usually always shows up around the Aviak City.
