During the quest for the key to Emperor Ssraeshza's chamber, Elder Glanoxx said to you:

'The prophecy will come to pass at last. Take my knowledge... the knowledge of our lord. I will not last much longer. This sickness will kill me like the others. There is one other who can help you. He claims to know some weakness of these creatures, seek him at the smelting furnaces near the mines. Now I must tell you the secret of the key.'

The 'one other' he refers to is an iksar foreman in the mines. Tell him about Elder Glanoxx.

You say, 'Elder Glanoxx sent me.'

an Iksar foreman says 'So you've been talking to Elder Glanoxx eh? The disease has addled his mind, claiming gods speak to him. Nothing more than fever dreams if you ask me. Sometimes though... one could almost hope it was true. No! The fanatics will not catch me with unclean thoughts. If only there were some way to take advantage of the weakness I've discovered.'

You say, 'What weakness?'

an Iksar foreman says 'Shhh... Be quiet the Taskmasters have sharp hearing. There is a green metal found in the mines that our masters despise. We must carefully separate it from the ore before working with the purified metal. Any tainted metal is quickly destroyed. Many a slave has lost their life for not properly purifying the metal. I'm convinced the secret to the master's weakness lies in the tainted metal.'

You say, 'What tainted metal?'

an Iksar foreman says 'Yes, though none of us would dare wield a sacred weapon of the masters perhaps you could. Forge one of their weapons and some of the green metal from the mines and you can taint the metal of the weapon. Their own corrupted weapons shall be the instrument of their downfall.'

Combine a shissar weapon, which drop from shissar elites, and Strange Green Metal, which drops from the named skeletons in the mines, in any forge and you will create a Corrupted Shissar Weapon (no level or skill check required). These weapons are the only ones that can harm the emperor.

Decided to farm for my lvl 1 twink on Agnarr,
just camping granny, I got 3 metal shards and a lantern in just over an hour of camping that spawn point. Was rather surprised at drop rate and respawn rate of granny, I saw more of her than placeholders.

No special events going on, so was just normal RNG going on.
How do you know to say this?

Got the ore yesterday, twice in fact. I think the odds are something like this:

- PH will spawn named at least 1 in 6.
- Named will drop ore about 1 in 6.
- There are 6 named/PH.

That means on average you gotta wipe the place (or the named at least, but almost as easy just to do the whole place) about 6 times to get an ore to drop. I wiped it about 10 times, then got the ore to drop twice in the next 2-3 runs.

Of course the infamous EQ RNG (random number generator) will work it's will upon you!

I have the Strange Green Metal and a Shissar Bow, and am only getting "you cannot combine these items in this container type" messages when I try to finish this.
Did they take out the bow? I've tried in all forges in PoK, and the forge in the basement of Sshraeszha Temple.

you have to combine the bow in a fletching kit i believe
Other named mobs
# Oct 21 2003 at 10:39 PM Rating: Good
When I was camping this with my guild, there were two other named with the last name Soriz and Kylong.

If I remember correctly, there were five ancient Iksar tribes: Kylong, Obulus, Kunzar, Jarsath, and Nathsar. I wonder what the name Soriz means, since the last name of the rest of the named is after the ancient Iksar tribes. Can anybody shed some light on this? =)

Soriz was the Iksar tribe that was taken to Luclin with the Shissar.

Almost every tribe has some item named after them. Dented Kunzar, Kylong darkmail, nathsar vambraces, Obulus Death Shroud, Jarsath whatever, and Dusty Soriz Boots.

6 tribes, 5 medalions, 1 got kidnapped.

Just a bit of lore.

Aye, I can confirm this. Just combined the strange green metal and a shissar battlehammer in a PoK forge and got the corrupted version.
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 13 2002 at 8:33 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I've heard rumor that any forge will work for the combine. can any one confirm that? I've been able to get to the temple with help but never lived long enough to get a green stone. i want to turn my shishar knight sword into the corupted knight sword... BTW do you have any idea how hard it is to get to the temple at my lvl... Definatly not easy. i must be insane trying this now. any way i still cant seem to find the green stone drop info. the mob the area things like that. I hear it drops from the skellies in the basement area but i cant confirm. if any one can help with that let me know I'll continue my search of these forums but so far i've only turned up a few clues nothing solid.. thanks

Well dear

The issue is not getting to the drop site for the green metal (you can pretty easily get to the mines if you know the way), or clicking the combine (trivial is set at 1) -- but rather the issue lies in your chances, at the moment, for looting a green metal ore. For the most part, the groups that are here in the mines are not there for exp, but rather are there for themselves, eqipping their gruild with shissar bane weapons to kill the emperor. They will not, more than likly, allow you to loot the item that they are there for, unless you brought them some nifty gifts to trade for looting rights.

Not sure if the final weapon has a reccomended level either -- if I recall correctly, there is not reccomended level

How exactly did you pick up the bow in the bazaar...it is no drop. This just seems a bit difficult to me

The corrupted versions of the weapons are no drop. I bought a claidhmore in bazaar recently to practice 2HS with. There a lot of these without the shissar bane because of the low availability of the green stone combined with the fact that some people want to make a little money with these which you can't do once you make the combine and it becomes no drop.

RE: kinda hard
# Aug 04 2003 at 8:51 PM Rating: Decent
the Shissar weapons required to make the corrupted shissar weapons are fairly cheap in baz, since they aren't too hard to get, and aren't that great (and most certainly ARE dropable). The green metal and the corrupted shissar weapons are harder to get and are no drop. The green metal is alot less common than the weapons themselves in my limited experience, since it appears to only drop off the named in the mines, but the weapons drop off elites which appear to spawn in any of the normal snake spots (you're likely to get atleast 1 uncorrupted weapon while camping for the idol or ring)
is it possible.........
# Oct 28 2002 at 11:59 AM Rating: Default
I picked up a Shissar Bow in Bazaar for 150pp, 150pp!!!!! i couldn't believe it.

But is it possible for a lvl 45 Pally to get down to where the Green Metal Drops and get to the Forge?

I'd love the added stats.
Greenmist
# Sep 30 2002 at 10:41 PM Rating: Excellent
It isn't that hard. Does greenmist have shissar bane? Yes? Then yes it can hit the emperor. Do I know this for a fact? Yes, I helped kill him and the only shissar bane weapon I had was greenmist.
Very important
# Sep 29 2002 at 11:18 AM Rating: Excellent
first: yes if a weapon has a bane to shissar it will harm the emp. So yes the SK greenmist is worth it....hell its even worth it even if you have no plan to go up against the emp.

second. Ssra is a killer zone. Its got some great xp and drops. I've gone there a few times for just xp and now am trying to get a couple of these warswords just for general grouping. my advice is to try to get one or two of these weapons for yourself. It never hurts to be ready incase you need to go kill some snakes. Also if people know you have shissar bane weaps it's a lot easier to get in on ssra groups.

So, if you don't have some shissar bane might as well get some. wont hurt ya to have one and makes ya look pimpsor
#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 27 2002 at 7:44 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Does anyone know for a Fact that the Greenmist works on the emp?
no drop
# Sep 14 2002 at 8:35 PM Rating: Good
green metal is no drop
green metal droppable?
# Aug 15 2002 at 11:55 AM Rating: Decent
Just curious if the green metal is a no drop item or tradeable

You guys don't realize how important these weapons are in taking out the Emporer... Only people calling these weapons suck are the ones who will never take out the emp.. These are uber.
The Greenmist
# Jul 19 2002 at 4:04 AM Rating: Default
dunno it gonna work or not, but the greenmist have bane dmg to shissar too.
RE: The Greenmist
# Aug 21 2002 at 7:18 PM Rating: Decent
Aye the Greenmist will also harm the emp if you weild the Greenmist you wont need one of these corupted weapons to fight him. its only logical anyway.
#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 27 2002 at 7:31 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) How exactly do you know that Greenmist effects the emp? Being that you are a 31sk? 2ndly how logical? this is eq...
#REDACTED, Posted: Oct 04 2002 at 2:43 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well let's see... this quest is for Bane shissar weapons.... Greenmist has Bane Shissar: 6 .... how much of a tard do you have to be to not draw this as a logical conclusion. I don't like to flame... but if you can't even look up the weapon before you flame someone, then you need to shut up and think before you open your mouth and let the bullsh*t fly.
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 13 2002 at 8:20 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) thank you Brakit :p
gauranteed combine
# Jul 18 2002 at 2:09 AM Rating: Decent
the weapons are NO FAIL means a lvl 1 char with the components could make them if he/she could get to the forge in the basement of the temple, and as I stated in another post, these weapons will work on all shissar not just the emp, so if your guild is farming the emp key then its best to aquire your weapons to help in the proccess, the weapons have a minimum damage of 20 per hit, if you have hunted in the temple a lot you have noticed that you get a lot of hits for under 10 points witch sucks, I have primal warsword and still get hits for 1-10 a lot with max str and dex, so do your self a favor and make your weapons asap to help your farming efforts.

If you know where to get the ore in the mines, before you enter mines one can go left or right (facing them). Go left it should have 2 iksar skellies ( green con, non-aggro) standing next to it

#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 17 2002 at 9:34 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Even if you are fighting snakes they aren't that good.... 13/20 type weapons. You can do much better with epics.
RE: heh...

I would love a pair of the Ulaks for my monk, seeing as how they're not lore. 16 to all resists, 30 str, 20 dex/agi...that's damn nice even if they're only 7/2 weapons. it's not quite like wielding a pair of Fighting Batons

7/20 rather
RE: heh...
# Jul 18 2002 at 2:12 AM Rating: Default

ha most epics have a ratio far worse than 13/20, rangers off hand is good but earthcaller is 14/24, ill use 13/20 over 14/24 anyday of the week and then on sunday to.

"Even if you are fighting snakes they aren't that good.... 13/20 type weapons. You can do much better with epics."

Heh. Epics won't touch the snake you need these for. To kill the emperor, you can't really do better than 13/20 or 14/20.

RE: heh...
# Jul 18 2002 at 7:06 PM Rating: Default
It's a shame they weren't Emperor Bane or something. It really causes bottlenecks for guilds who are trying to gear up for Emperor. The metals are rare drops and take a lot of time to get when you have to get 80 to 100 (or more) of them for your guild to be able to try the Emperor.

The stats are similar to slightly better than epics but they are only useful on snakes.
uh... no...
# Jul 17 2002 at 9:29 PM Rating: Default
These weapons are not good at all unless you are fighting snakes. Any other time they are pathetic... unless you think 6/20 weapons are nice.
RE: uh... no...
# Dec 17 2003 at 10:34 AM Rating: Default
Close, but no banana for this particular monkey with a keyboard. The Shissar Knight's Sword is 10/22 and the Corrupted version has excellent stats. The Shissar Bow is 20/35 and the stats on the Corrupted aren't amazing, but they could be worse. Not godlike ratios, but when you consider the stats (especially on the Knight's Sword) and the ability to take on the emperor, these are well worth it.
