You say, 'Hail, Faratain'

Faratain says 'Salutations Darulius. If you are here to make use of the forges then feel free to pursue your crafts within this chamber. If you are a new Fell Blade in need of a suit of armor and weapon then I will assist you in crafting [armaments] fitting of a young Shadow Knight.'

You say, 'What armaments?'

Faratain says 'You will require this specially prepared Mail Assembly Kit in order to construct a suit of Fell Blade Armor. The materials required vary depending on the piece of armor you desire to craft. Once you have been outfitted in the Fell Blade Armor, return to me and I will present you with a somewhat important [task]. Do you desire to craft a [fell blade helm], a [fell blade bracer], [fell blade gauntlets], [fell blade boots], [fell blade vambraces], [fell blade greaves], or a [fell blade breastplate]?'

You say, 'What task?'

Faratain says 'The blacksmiths of [Clan Kolbok] craft weapons using an ancient Kobold tradition that has been long forgotten by most of the kobold clans. I believe there is something to be learned from their traditions should we discover their intricacies. Go into the Warrens and locate the chambers of the kobold blacksmiths. There you should be able to find some record of their traditional techniques to return to me here in Paineel where they can be translated and studied.'

Hand Faratain the "Clan Kolbok Blacksmith Traditions" (dropped by Kobold Master Blacksmith located near water to the left of the zone entrance).

Faratain says 'Well done Darulius. I will have this translated immediately so that it may be studied. Take this Dull Fell Blade Cutlass and sharpen it in a forge with a sharpening stone. It may take you several attempts if you are unfamiliar with the process. Once that is done bring me the Sharp Fell Blade Cutlass, a Large Briar Snake Skin, and a Petrified Eyeball and I will put the finishing touches on the weapon.'

Your faction standing with Heretics has been adjusted by 5.
Your faction standing with Deepwater Knights has been adjusted by -5.
Your faction standing with Gate Callers has been adjusted by -5.
Your faction standing with Craftkeepers has been adjusted by -5.
Your faction standing with Crimson Hands has been adjusted by -5.

Hand Faratain Sharp Fell Blade Cutlass, a Large Briar Snake Skin and a Petrified Eyeball (eyeball found on the Fading Spectre in Toxxulia Forest).

Faratain fashions a grip from the large briar snake skin, fastens the petrified eyeball to the pommel of the hilt, and polishes the blade with a shimmering black substance. 'I present you with your Fell Blade Cutlass. May it serve you well in the name of Cazic Thule.'

You put a ton of thought into this and it looks great. I wish ERU were given a bit more love by the powers that be at EQ. Their whole storyline is fantastic and the race/class/deity specific gear is something that you never see anymore.

Whereas it's a well thought out quest with interesting dialogue... you're essentially asking for another epic (which kind of outshines the two current SK epics) to be implemented for the Shadow Knight.

More quests like this would be great additions to the game, and even be fun to do, but unless this is touted as part of the melee balancing, it would probably upset warriors, etc.

Not to mention that I'm not aware of SOE implementing any user-submitted quests... ever.

Great idea though.

Another epic? No. Another Greenmist? Yes.

I think this quest would be great to do. I for one would do it just for fun. I think this will also be a powerful weapon on PvP servers due to humanoid bane damage.

I tried asking around to see if it is in the game but no luck.

He spawns in the room on the left hand side, through the door, on your way to the Smithy and Foodmaster Kobold. He drops some plans which you hand in and get a dull Fell Blade Cutlass. You are told to sharpen it and return it along with a petrified eye (from Spectre in Tox) and a Large Briar Skin. Faratain then fashions you a Sharpened Fell Blade Cutlass (8Dmg, attack delay 29, +1 str, +1 int).

This guy spawns all over the zone, I have seen 2 of him up at the same time, I am a 51 sk and was working on faction. In 1 hour I saw him about 10 times after killing enough kobolds.

My wife and I have found him twice. The first time he was on the Prince's side in what used to be a safe room right before the bridge. The second time he was in the river on the King's side. Hope this helps.

My girlfriend found the Kobold Master Blacksmith on accident tonight while hunting for kobold pelts for the armor for a Erudite Shadow Knight friend of ours. He dropped the "Clan Kolbok Blacksmith Traditions". Following is the rest of the quest.

Glad they made this blade better than the dark elves jagged orc slayer. The fell blade looks... decent.

By the way I've been hunting at the water near front and never seen him yet. Hope to one day since my erudite SK is on a fresh server UNtwinked.

Ok finally got the black smith !!! I pulled *started a train* from the room with pit fighters near rikfeer or whatever. Was half way dead until I noticed his name sticking out past 10 others.

the key phrase is "record of their traditional techniques", I think what is needed is some sort of document, possibly no drop lore, similar to the new ones found in Blackburrow and Misty Thicket... I am a Human SK on Tribunal and looking for faction so will be spending a lot of quality Kobold time, I will post again if I run across anything.

Has anyone completed this quest? This is much more obscure than any of the other newbie quests...just that old SK bigotry, I expect! It would seem to point to the Smithy Rrarrgin in the Kitchen as holder of whatever quest item is called for, that being the only resemblance of a "chambers of the kobold blacksmiths" I can come across in all the Warrens...and I've searched the whole thing thru and thru.
I've tried turning in the large Empty Crate and BallPeen hammer to no avail. Since the other newbie Quests use new NPC'c and MOB's to hold the items, the Smithy doesn't seem right for the job anyway.

Don't know if this helps, but ...

For the Wood Elf Druid final test 1 of the things you have to get is Darishs plans. He is not a new NPC. Lord Darish is located in the Throneroom in Crushbone Castle, adjacent to the Tower Room which holds Emperor Crush and Ambassador Dvinn (the 2 toughest mobs in the zone). The TR is the second hardest place to fight in next to the Tower because of the numerous mobs and fast spawn.

Where is a similar place at in the Warrens?

I feel your pain. I've tried the crate and hammer as well, and killed old Smithy Rrarrgin coutless times, each time hoping he'll drop something new. I've slaughtered every dog in the area around the kitchen, thinking they may have the mystery item. I'm very familiar with the Warrens and have scoured its passages looking for anything else that might be the "chamber" in question with no luck. Which, it seems is your exact dilemma. The road of the Erudite Shadow Knight is a tough one, indeed.
