Level to Attain = 40

The smith will not make this for you unless you are level 40. Otherwise this is an easy grab for a rogue. Just keep an eye out for the gem of nimbleness in DL. If you get one Nurga, is VERY easy. The slaves are weaklings and drop the Ore about 50%. Bring a cleric and another melee you are golden even at 39!

Hardest part of this for me was scraping together 500P

Skip the trip to FV. You don't need the recipe for anything.

The slaves con'd light blue to a lvl 45 rogue. Hardest part now is convincing a party of that level to hunt there. Killed two or three to get the no drop ore. No one dungeon crawls anymore, it seems. EVERYONE and their uncle is the ridge or ruins in DL. Can't get anyone to try Sol B, Temple of Droga, etc. Maybe the new LFG tool will help.

The slaves are back, appearently, and 30 times harder than they were before. This quest has been totally screwed up in every way, and you can no longer obtain this rather below-average 2ratio piercer with 1 or 2 friends helping you.

You STILL have to give the dwarf 500pp when you get the ore and the gem, which is pretty much a waste cause this item is NoDrop (way to go!)

I could have soloed this mob back when I got mine, in may at 40th level, but they've been given crazy steroids, so take a damn nice group if you feel like doing this quest.

Save your money and make a trip to the Bazaar.

I agree that it sux that its no drop and you have to pay 500pp to get it, but there are many items you need to pay money to get even though they are no drop.....if it were up to me.....everything in the game would be no drop

/em nods.

Just took 2 groups last night with avg level of 50 to take down the 4 burynai slaves. They have a magic resist so high they might as well be immune - even after a 54 enchanter hit them with Tashani. The only thing the casters could do was buff the melees and their pets to the gills and then heal as needed. The burynai slaves con even to me at 44. They have over 3K HP each. They hit for over 100 per strike with double attack. Nasty!

Ore
# Jun 26 2002 at 10:16 AM Rating: Decent

For those of you looking for the ore, head into Nurga mines and start killing goblins. From my experiences the ore will drop off about one in ten kills. I never kept the ore as it was very heavy and I had no use for it, however, I could have come out of there with about 2 stacks of it had I kept it all. Believe it or not Nurga is a very safe zone to hunt in as long as you don't run around like a madman. The mobs here are spread out so that you should only have to fight at the most 3 mobs at a time. A three man group with a chanter, healer and tank can easily own this zone.

No, the Frontier Ore is not dropping. Send a message to VI asking them to fix the quest.

A lot of folks are confusing Deathsteel Ore with the Frontier Ore needed for the quest. The Deathsteel Ore is quite common. Are you sure the Frontier Ore is dropping?
Plans Changed

The plans for this from Sneakyfeet in FV now read that the ore drops in a mine filles with warring goblins, some goblins keep it close to them. *SIGH* and I just spent 1k to get a shaded dagger, wish I would have found this out first :)

Ore still drops
# Jun 21 2002 at 5:01 PM Rating: Decent
According to some folks on the safehouse forums, the ore still drops, but off of goblin slavedrivers. I've yet to prove this.

One of the components, Frontier Ore, no longer drops since the June 6 patch. I hope VI will fix this.

What takes more effort sneaking around & or doing battle to get the components or slapping down one to a few thousand plats to buy a droppable dagger at level one?

Sorry for the rant but I don't think this change will have the desired effect. Risk -v- Reward?...not sure.
A good group should be able to get this weapon for a rouge many levels before 40th.

I feel bad for the level 37 fellow that was looking forward to the shank he earned.

Oh, and on topic. Scrounge/steal 800 - 1000pp and buy a shaded dagger or similar rather than wait until level 40. If you are near to 40 then by all means get this item.
Must be level 40+ to hand in items?

I read in Safehouse that the quest was altered as of the last major patch (may 8th patch?) and the new requirement is that you be level 40 or higher to hand the stuff in.

Hope that helps.

The other person who discovered this said a GM was kind enough to return his or her items.

I turned in the 2 items and the 500pp to Dapper with my lvl 29 rogue and he said he would keep the items for someone more worthy, so my question is what lvl are we supposed to attain this? btw i petitioned and got my stuff back

Says level 35 to attain. I did it at 40 with no problem. 35 could probably do it with some help. Not sure if you can below that level.

Just tried this at 37 last night and he said he'd hold it for someone more worthy. Gave me the gem and ore back but kept the 500pp. What gives?

These NPCs shouldn't talk to us if we can't complete the quest. I'll petition tonight when I get back on since there was no GM online last night. I don't usually get my feathers too ruffled but after the time it took me to find the gem in DL and actually get a group willing to risk Nurga (nasty casters enroute to the slaves....the entire mine was blue to me at 37)...to be told I'm now worthy... Grrrr.

---FOLLOWUP--- I am now level 40. Took the Gem, the Ore and the 500pp and turned em' in. Got the whistler in return. So consider this confirmation of the level change to 40. Hope this helps all my brother and sister cutpurse/thieves. ;)

Got this bad boy for my level 11 kitty. Not too shabby. I've had a 55 point BS as my best so far and averaging in the 20's for normal hits. Only thing is the tanks can't seem to keep the agro at this level. It can be MQ'd. I used my 54 ranger to get the ore and then parked my kitty in DL and waited to loot a gem. Gave my rogue the 500pp, handed in the ore, logged in the rogue and handed in the cash and gem and bam I'm one bad cat! Looks like I won't need a new main weapon for a long time.

All of the posts I have read except this one say that it is impossible to get this thing before 35 or 40. I'm wondering if it is MQable for anyone under 35 or if yoou parked your kitty in DL and Nurga and looted the pieces and that's how you got it or what. Any insight would be nice, because I could really use a piercer as nice as this one. =D

Well I got this before they nerfed it to level 40 to attain. So I just got lucky is all. Level 17 now (she's an alt, that's why leveling slow) but the tanks still can't hold agro and my best BS now is 72. Guess you'll have to wait to level 40 or get yourself a shaded dagger.

Go up a few levels, then your damage bonus will be 6. the damage bonus on 1h weapons is based only on your level. 2h weapons have a bonus based on level, and delay, if over 40.

So the picture is correct, just the guy who took the screenshot is a couple levels higher than you.

This was the easiest quest of all time. I got the gem while leveling in DL. Ran over to FM and into the mines. Found a Burnai slave, killed it and got the drop. Had a druid port me to BBM. Gave Dapper the goods and got the weapon. Took all of 30 minutes.

damn straight vaison, took me a bit to get the gem to drop, but once it did i just ran into nurga and snuck through all the mobs to the burynais. light blue at 44 and approx 700-800hps, second kill got the ore. even a lowbie rogue could get this done with a 50+ helpin em out. all in all, a great weapon for just about any level, i strongly recommend a starting rogue to do this quest.

No drop items

This weapon is a quest item only. Search the quests that begin in Firiona Vie, and you'll see it.

As far as the items you need to collect:

The "Frontier Ore" is NO DROP and is found on the Burynai slaves in the mines of nurga as a common drop. I killed 3 slaves, and had one. One group of folks around lvl 30 or so should be able to run Nurga all the way to the slave pits where the burynai are with no problem at all. Just bring an enchanter, because most pulls are doubles or triples. Everything was blue to a lvl 39.

The "Gem of Nimbleness" is NO DROP and LORE. It is found on Drolvarg in the Dreadlands as an uncommon drop. Took an hour and a half of killing them to get one to drop. Find yourself a group that's working the ridge by KC, and you should be set on this item. These are blue to a lvl 39 as well, but hit harder than the slaves in Nurga did.

Three hours, quest complete. Got a weapon with the same ratio as a shaded dagger, and for only 500p instead of 2k! Besides, I like the sta and agi this gives.

Hope the info helps.

Died as soon as I got to Nurga. Couldn't swim up, so I went down. BAD IDEA. Spiders took me and Bard Partner down in a few mins with gobby help. DO get swimming up to 100+ before trying this, as it is 10x easier this way.

Of course, as soon as I got rez and help from 53 pally cousin of mine, the Burnyai Slaves won't pop... =/ Figures right? Oh well... I'll get it soon.

OK! I got it finally. Was in Nurga for a good while because NO Burynai Slaves would pop. We cleared the room 3 times, a Burynai showing up once, but he didn't drop it. As I was getting discourage, one popped and we took him down. He dropped the ore. Not 10 seconds later, another popped, and HE had the ore too. Figures right? Oddly enough, the 2nd one had a Burynai Legion Gi and an emerald -- Offset the Whistler's Price right there by 50%. I guess the extra time was worth it.

Seems pretty good risk versus reward and the level it can be done. Same damage/delay as a shaded blade, but with diff stats, and for alot less than 2k. So many people fight in DL anyway that it should not be much of a problem to have someone you know loot one so you can do the quest. Hehe definately not high end, but nice still.
