After just completing the quest last night, I'd like to add a couple of things.
1. There is NO skill check in making the hammer. This is good to know before you go spending 200pp to raise your smithing skill like I did.... The only thing you might need smithing skill for is making the Large brick to get the hammer, however that is not no drop, and your favorite smith could probably do it for you pretty reasonably.
2. Ghostback is the only Titan that gives this quest from what I've heard. Giang Xin will not respond to hails, so I assume that this is correct.
3. If you're doing an armor piece, you don't need to bother with the spiritling stones. You only need to do the first part of the quest, the part with Emilye and the forge. I didn't feel this was clearly stated in the directions above.
Hope this helps any of you wanting to do the quest. If you have a piece from ToFS already, the rest is pretty easy :) Good luck!

| You say, 'Hail, Saemey Wirewhisker'
Saemey Wirewhisker says 'Welcome to Kejek friend. I am the seer of this village for I have been gifted by the spirits with an affinity for their realm. The barrier between the spirit and physical realms is thin in these lands. The heretics know this and must be prevented from committing [atrocities] similar to those that have been committed in the past. You say, 'What sort of atrocities?' Saemey Wirewhisker says 'Long ago when our noble ancestors the Vah Shir were destroyed by an explosion that devastated the warring Heretic and Erudin armies an evil creature by the name of Tserrina Syl'Tor was attracted to the sudden abundance of new spirits in these lands. Tserrina was capable of capturing these spirits before they were able to cross over beyond the mortal realm and through her dark magic transformed them into a [crystalline shadow] substance. You say, 'What crystalline shadow substance?' Saemey Wirewhisker says 'The crystalline shadow substance was used as building blocks for Tserrina's tower on an Island near the frozen lands to the south as well as fashioned into armor and weapons for her mindless servants. Emylie Steelclaws has developed a means to purify the armor and weapons using the special properties of our Kejek forge and a smithy hammer blessed by the Titan Spirits. The purifying process transfers the imprisoned spirits into [soul orbs]. Ask Emylie about the purification process. You say, 'What are soul orbs?' Saemey Wirewhisker says 'I have perfected a ritual that will free the imprisoned spirits within the soul orbs. I simply require some kejek [spirit powder] to scrawl the proper sigils and a soul orb upon which to perform the ceremony. My apprentice will perform the ceremony on fading soul orbs. Simply bring him a fading soul orb and some kejek spirit powder. You say, 'What is kejek spirit powder?' Saemey Wirewhisker says 'The spirit power of which I speak is composed of ground spiritling stones. I will grind some powder for you if you would bring me a Valley Spiritling Stone, a Jungle Spiritling Stone, and a Mountain Spiritling Stone. Collecting the stones does not truly harm the spiritlings for when slain in this realm their essence simply disperses until it eventually reforms into a new spiritling.

You can definitely get a Soulforge Hammer from Giang Xin, I just did it tonight. He doesn't respond to hails, but if you just give him the Smithy Hammer, he will return the Soulforge Hammer and give you the "freeing spirits" message.

Do you Need Smithing Skill to get the Combine of the Hammer and Wepon to Work?? or is it like Most Quests involving the Use of Forges, Pottery wheels...where you dont need Skill just the items??
I just looked at the Hammer. Is it Diety restricted to just Rallos Zek, Bertoxx, Innourok and Cazic-Thule?
Anonymous
The restrictions are only for wielding the hammer not using it in the forge. Anyone can use it in the forge they just cant bash you with it 8)

Posted: Oct 16 2001 at 7:20 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Just got back from another trip to ToFS and this time I got the leggings and 3, count em, 3 Crystalized shadow daggers, hmm wonder how much these go for (4cha 5sv all range item).
Has anyone tried doing this quest with the Crystallized Shadow Tunic (which is actually a great chest item unlike the rest of the crystallized shadow crap)?
-AND-
With the debate on what to do next... The quest involves collecting stuff from ToFS. Why has no one mentioned going back to ToFS to "finish" these quests. These may very well be related to the quest for the eighth floor key that has yet to be solved...

There is one and only one reason to make the purified weapons into purified crystal weapons. Wanna know what it is? Purified weapons are not magic Purified Crystal weapons are.
Ok. The spiritlings certainly aren't trivial to me, but every time I've gone hunting them I don't get any drop except the burned-out lightstone. I'm on Quellious. Is this quest just not live there yet, or what? Or are they really rare drops?

What happens if you try to purify the old Brazen Brass Kilij, which is a cursed weapon if you know the quest ?
#Anonymous,
Posted: Oct 13 2001 at 8:58 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok, so basically the soul orbs are just a waste of time? After you combine the hammer and weapon, you have your purified thing, so what's the point in finishing the rest if you don't get anything from it? And no, I don't care about the trapped soul, my concience will be just fine. $^#& em, they can wallow in torment! Also, how much could I get for the purified crystal dagger? thats the 4 charisma, 5 sv everything range slot dagger. I know some enchanters will pay for it, hehe. That's right, I'm heartless AND greedy. $^$%& you!
The Orbs do appear to be pointless right now. I think they are to COMPLETE the quest. All if us doing this quest with the mind that we want the weapons, and the stone are a by-product. In truth it is the other way around. The THEORY is we want the orbs, that why there are so many items to get them from. It just so happens that either the quest is so friggan hard or broken none of us know what to do next, and we can get some decent mid lvl and twink gear from just doing half the quest.
Oh, and on a side note, the Large Brink is not STOCKED on the vendor, but you can almost always find 2 or 3 there from other players who sold it. I bought mine for 42p3g with Indiff faction. And with the new shiny NO DROP armor I have to wear on Rallos Zek, it was worth it.

Combining the armor is a wast of time and inventory. Just more junk you have to destory. Stick with collecting more weapons.

So far the only thing Ive found with the soul orbs is exp from giving it to the apprentice. Heck of a way to get exp. Takes to long to find the spirit orbs.

Since nobody else asked, I am sure this is obvious, but I do not know the answer.
The tower mentioned where the creatures drop the faded or crystalized weapons and armor, where is it?
Nevermind - I just found it: Tower of Frozen Shadow in Velious.

I am at a loss as to what to do next.
I've released all sorts of spirits. I've released an Elder Va'shir Spirit (a willo-wisp looking thing), heritic apparitions (normal and faded sorts, looking like ghosts), and euridite apparitions (normal and faded sorts, looking like ghosts). I have tried handing a purified item to a released euridite apparition (no luck), I've tried handing shattered orbs to euridite apparitions, I've tried handing shattered orbs to the quest givers (no luck). I've tried following released spirits (apparitions just followed the path to the river and despawned, the Elder Va'shir spirit took off into the snowy mountains and went beyond a zone wall and my tracking got all fudged up so I couldnt follow). I've heard unconfirmed rumors that the purified tunic is NO RENT (could indicate a quest continuation... but then again Verant has been known to mistakenly make items NO RENT that should not have been before... like the druid mid-epic piece when it first came out). I have tried killing the apparitions (though not the Va'shir spirit as of yet) to no ends. I tried giving some spirit powder to the Elder va'shir spirit (nothing). I'd like to try giving shattered orbs to the Titan spirits (like Old Ghostback), but they always seem to be DEAD *rolls eyes*.
A quest ending leaving you with shattered orbs and an un-conversational spirit seems kinda anti-climatic. Never feels like the end of a quest until some NPC says "Mighty fine job there, partner. ", which in this quest either does not exist, or has not yet been discovered.
I keep checking on this page in hopes that someone might provide me with a clue where to go next... and if there is a next to this quest. *shrug*
Oh, and last I checked the spiritling stones no longer fall under TLC (I got them from super greenie mobs at level 57). People report that the number of spirit powders for handing in the spiritling stones varying between 2 - 4 randomly.

The disciple and either khonza or shazda thanked me for my donation. The other 5 had no response at all.
I wasn't able to try giving them to the apparitions, because they woulda had me for lunch, but that seems like the next reasonable thing to try. Those or the titans. Just need some more crys shadow junk... time to send my main back to ToFS. :)

so verant didnt actually test it before it went live. what else is new. Hell, with their beloved trivial loot code, you cant actually do this quest by yourself, or with a group of like level people. ask some oldtimers about the original firey avenger quest, the one they swore was in for over a year, but no one was ever able to start it, let alone finish it. then they finaly put it in when plane of sky went live. Just keep /bug and /reporting it, and in another year or two, they will fix it.

As of 9/30/01 giving the three spiritling stones to the NPC will result in three powders, not two.
Looking for small blocks of HQ ore to make hammer? Check out jail merchant in Highhold Keep. Players sell to her all the time. Or, better yet, just auction in that zone. Many players happy to sell it. Trivial on making Large block of HQ ore is 77.
Spiritling stones still fall under Trivial code in Stonebrunt, so if you are too high level, auction for them and overpay the lowbies. Most people are happy to unload them.

First,HQ ore is not normally sold as merchant inventory-it is best found in Highpass Keep,as the goblins there in the basement drop it regularly.
If you can't get a large brick,3 small ones + flask of water in a forge make one large brick. Get at least a middling smith to forge it for you,though it doesn't take a master(less than 100) to be reliable.
Oak shafts are found sold at the same vendors that sell weapons molds.
Have someone with you that can invis you. Go invis,get behind the person you want to give the quest items to. Open the trade window with them. Have your partner invis you AGAIN at this point.
Hand in the items and hit "trade". Success.
Note this will NOT work on the Titans,as they see invisible creatures. Thus,you'll have to do other quests/parts of quests to get to at least apprehensive to finish this one. Making spirit powder or repeatedly doing the hammer-making should work.

The Hammer, once blessed, is tradeable (this may be a bug) so you can get someone that's not hated by the Kejekans to get it made and blessed, then pass it on to you.
Where the hell is HQ ore? I can find large ore, I can find small ore. But no where have I seen any type of quality ore. No one I have tried to buy it from has heard of it either.
Anonymous
OK I found it, Like people said it is in High Hold Keep. Just go buy it from the vendor next to the banker. No one in zone had it, but he vender sold it to me for the low low bargain price of 42plat. But it was worth it, I got 3 swords I sold and a no drop bracer from the quest so far.

YOu can also find decent amounts of HQ ore in Solusek, off the many goblins. I ahve also heard rumors it drops off the goblins in Runnyeye.

I am a Dark Elf who worships Innoruuk, Emylie Steelclaws conns dubious to me and wont talk to me, if I gave her the ore and shaft would I get the hammer, or would I be screwed?

I've completed the first part of the quest (getting the Soulforge, and freeing several spirits from faded shadow crystallized shadow weapons). Here are some things that I learned that I hope will help others:
High Quality Ore: I had no idea where this dropped, or where Small Bricks of High Quality Ore dropped (three small bricks + water= 1 large brick, trivial at 76). I finally went to High Pass, and was able to buy small bricks of HQ ore off the Jail Merchant for about 15 plat each. (These drop in here, and people sell them to the merchant). I went to freeport and a mastersmith was able to make a Large Brick for me out of the Small Bricks. (I had him make two, just in case).
Titans: Gian Yin was up, but wasn't responding to my hails. Turns out, he was aggro on someone who was running to the zone. I ran behind Gian, gave him the Kejek Smithy Hammer, and got the Soulforge Hammer.
Forging: When you put the Soulforge Hammer and Faded or Crystallized weapon or armor in the Kejek forge, it will work with a smithing level of 1. (It may work at zero, as it's a quest, but I put 1 point into smithing before trying it to be on the safe side). I doubt a skill check is even done as this is a quest...
Faded Shadow Scimitar: As someone else mentioned in a post, the Faded Shadow Scimitar doesn't currently work fully: you will get an orb back, but not a weapon. I'm sure they'll fix this, so if you want to try it /petition to have a GM watch you try.
How to get the weapons: If you spend any time in ToFS, you'll get the weapons. I was able to get a half-dozen weapons off the vendors at the igloos in Iceclad near the ToFS. They cost about 74 plat each (what the hey, I had some extra plat). It's the Crystallized Shadow Scimitar I want to purify for my druid, so I'm going to spend some time in ToFS this week hoping to get it.

Hey, don't beg for plat or items--it will just get you added to /ignore lists of characters who may otherwise help you out.

Since no one has mentioned it, making the hammer and using the forge was trivial at smithing skill 46.

Anyone notice these new purified weapons aren't MAGIC ITEM anymore? Not a good tade off if you actually use it.
Actually, the Fading Shadow weapons aren't magic to start with, and the purified versions are likewise not magical; Crystal weapons ARE magical, and the purified versions remain magical.
Anonymous
Not sure about you, but my new Purified Scimitar IS a Magic Item
If all you want is the armor, then what is the point of doing the orbs? Looks like you purify the armor piece and get back an orb and the purified item. If you just wanted the armor or weapon, destroy the orb yourself. Why bother with the rest unless there is a point to the remaining orb pieces?

I would like confirmation from someone who has done the tunic on this quest. Whether it becomes NO RENT and what the stats/classes/races change to.

Someone should try the Crystallized Shadow Dagger in this quest. It should come out as a Purified Crystal Dagger: 4/18, 4 cha, 5 to all resists, fits in range slot.
The Unnamed One
I did this last week and yes, the Purified Crystal Dagger is just like I thought.
4/18, Pri/Sec, 4 cha, 5 to all resists, range 40.
Can be used in range slot and CAN BE THROWN
