General Information

1) You need to get the mold for each item. You do this by fetching the quest items and turning them in to the NPC who gives the item quest. 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.

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. He will then give you the Sol Cauldron and tell you how to do the next step, which is acquiring the ingredients to make the metal ronium. These are:

• 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)
• Two Bars of Enchanted Platinum
• Mistmoore Granite (from Gargoyles in Mistmoore)
• Sands of Ro (from sand giants)
• Soil of Underfoot (Get from Priestess Ghalea in the Kaladim cleric's guild for 4 fairy dusts - need at least amiable faction for this).

Put them in the cauldron and hit the combine button and you will get a bar of ronium. You do not need the blacksmithing skill to combine these.

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 (is this true on p1999?).

Note: Mistmoore Granite

Mistmoore granite is THE toughest ingredient to get for making ronium. They come off ALL gargoyles but certain types it drop more frequently. There are Sneering, Jeering, Leering and Floating gargoyles. Sneering in my experience have never dropped granite. There are 3 places to look for gargoyles that drop granite.

1. In the "Canyon" by Enyti there are 2 gargoyles by her. Most of the time it is Sneering Gargoyles but occasionally Jeering Gargoyles will show up. The Jeering Gargoyles are the only ones here that have a chance of dropping any granite. The plus side is that of all the places to get granite, this is the safest place to go but can be a very long wait for Jeering Gargoyles to show up.

2. 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).

3. 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 and is about level 7. He is a Necro and is often with pet.
• 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. Estate of Undead 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 West Freeport 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 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 Synthii, 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 10 minutes or so. When Synthi cons amiable to you, your faction is high enough.

For the Molds

Boots

Kilij Plans from Sand Giant Hussein in the Southern Desert of Ro.

Bracers

Two Goblin nets from the Goblin Netmasters in Lake Rathetear.

Breastplace

Two dark cauldrons from the Cooks in Mistmoore Castle

Greaves

Head of Nightfall Giant in West Commonlands.

Gauntlets

Locket from Sentry Alachin 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 portions from Plague Sharks just off the coast of the Wisp Island in Erud's Crossing.

Helm

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