Notice: Cultural tradeskills were recently given a major overhaul. Much of this information may be outdated.

We would like to have this guide on the wiki. The wiki article about Dragons of Norrath Cultural Armor can be found here. If you have any information to contribute, you can do so directly if you desire.




This is an overview of how Cultural Armor quests in Dragons of Norrath work. For more detailed information related to individual races, use the quest links on the lefthand side of this writeup.

This cultural armor works in tiers (note the indicated levels are requirements for getting the tasks from quest NPCs; you can make the low-stat armor at earlier levels, but not the augmentations):

First Tier: Simple
-Tradeskill components obtainable at 30th level.

Second Tier: Ornate
-Tradeskill components obtainable at 40th level.

Third Tier: Intricate
-Tradeskill components obtainable at 60th level.

Fourth Tier: Elaborate
-Tradeskill components obtainable earlier than 70th level, but you won't be able to get the task for the required book until then.

There are plate, chain, leather, and silk armor combines. Plate and chain is done through smithing in cultural forges. Leather and silk is done through tailoring in cultural sewing kits.

Note that mold and pattern combines produce an eight-slot backpack full with the following items:
20x Chest Slot
20x Legs Slot
20x Arms Slot
20x Head Slot
20x Hands Slot
20x Feet Slot
40x Wrist Slot

Obtain Armor Books

See the "Tradeskill Quests" NPC in your home city. Perform tasks to obtain an Ancestral Armor Book, Simple Book, Ornate Book, Intricate Book, and Elaborate Book.

..........................................................................................................................

Smithing Recipes:

MOLDS = Ancestral Armor Book + High Quality Firing Sheet + Huge Block of Clay + Compacted Backpack + Sculpting Tools

BARS = Cultural Metal + Item Drop + Cultural Hammer

SHEETS = Cultural Hammer + Water Flask + (Tier's) Bar (made in the above combine)

ARMOR PRODUCTION = Armor Mold + # (Tier's) Sheet(s)/Bar(s) + Large Brick of Cultural Metal + Cultural Hammer
**NOTE: # is 3 for Chest and Legs; 2 for Feet and Head; 1 for Arms, Hands, and Wrists
**NOTE: Chain combines use BARS; Plate combines use SHEETS

This produces armor with minor stats and augmentation slots 7, 11, 12.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Tailoring Recipes:

NEEDLE = Embroidering Needle + Cultural Brewing Essence

SEWING KIT = Water Flask + Needle Mold + Thimble Mold + Small Brick of Cultural Metal
**NOTE: Just to make things a little more complicated, Wood Elves and Halflings use bits instead of a small brick.

PATTERNS = Ancestral Armor Book + Roll of Plain Parchment + Large Bottle of Ink + Compacted Backpack + A Quill

SWATCHES = Cultural Spool of Thread + Cultural Needle + Culture-Specific Silk Swatch or Dropped Hide/Pelt

ARMOR PRODUCTION = Armor Pattern + # (Tier's) Swatch(es) (produced in the above combine) + Large Spool of Cultural Thread + Cultural Needle
** NOTE: # is 3 for Chest and Legs; 2 for Feet and Head; 1 for Arms, Hands, and Wrists

This produces armor with minor stats and augmentation slots 7, 11, 12.

..........................................................................................................................

The Symbols (Augmentations)

Symbols can be made by anyone of any deity in any culture's forge or sewing kit.

SYMBOL PATTERN PRODUCTION:
Inside a Book Binding (bought from local vendors), produce (Tier's) (Slot) Symbol Pattern:
Recipe = (Tier's) Book of (Race) Culture + Compacted Backpack + A Quill + Large Bottle of Ink + Roll of Vellum
(**Quality of Vellum varies by Tier: Blessed = Roll; Revered = Good; Sacred = High Quality; Eminent = Superb)

Blessed Water of (Deity) can be bought from local vendors.

JEWELCRAFT COMBINES:
Blessed Water of (Deity Name) = Blessed Water + Jade Shard
Revered Water of (Deity Name) = Blessed Water + Lambent Stone
Sacred Water of (Deity Name) = Blessed Water + Crushed Diamond Dust
Eminent Water of (Deity Name) = Blessed Water + Purescale Ore

SLOT 11 AUGMENTATION PRODUCTION (SMITHED):
(Tier's) (Armor) Symbol of (Deity Name)
Recipe = (Tier's) Water of (Deity Name) + (Tier's) (Slot) Symbol Pattern + Item
(**Item varies by Tier: Blessed = Warbone Chips; Revered = Fire Opal; Sacred = Shissar Scales; Eminent = Metallic Drake Scales)

SLOT 11 AUGMENTATION PRODUCTION (TAILORED):
(Tier's) (Armor) Symbol of (Deity Name)
Recipe = (Tier's) Water of (Deity Name) + (Tier's) (Slot) Symbol Pattern + Item
(**Item varies by Tier: Blessed = Silk Swatch; Revered = Drachnid Silk Swatch; Sacred = Nightmare Arachnid Swatch; Eminent = Glossy Drake Hide)

You need to have a smithing skill level of 300 to be able to do the Exalted Symbols or Sublime Symbols. This is needed to buy the book from vendors outside the library on the left side in POK. I had thought when I finished the quest and gotten the patterns for the exalted symbols, that I was done.


So you need to do the exalted quest from you home city, skill to 300, buy parchment on exalted(from vendor in pok or cresent reach - a cultural discoveries historian) to do the exalted or sublime symbols. It seem you can make the armor without having to buy the parchment. I didn't comfirm this on Elegant though.

Good luck.

After handing in the pattern book today and tell the Halas guy "what armor patterns?":
Kjell Sunrunner says ''Well then, player. Now that the Fellroon is dead,a tribute is important. Take this impression book and make impressions of certain parts of critters that you slay in your heroic deeds. This magical book can make impression of objects with depth to them or just of the pattern of the surface of an object. Take as many of the tasks I offer you as you would like.

Then he offered several tasks called xxx impressions, with several difficulties up to Direwind and Fortress Mechanotus; picked one, (you can take as many as you wish).

Blessed impression:
Kill 20 froglok Gaz - 0/20 -Upper Guk
Make impressionsof the froglok Gaz head patterns - 0/5 - Upper Guk
Kill 10 crag spiders - 0/10 - East Karana
Make impressions of the crag spiders carapaces - 0/2 - East Karana
- Reward: Blessed Book of Barbarian Culture

Revered impressions
To find the patterns that will inspire you, you will need to kill sabretooth tigers in Trakanon, and drolvarg ragers in the Dreadlands. The patterns you will need are in the teeth of the sabretooth and the symbols on the shoulder armor of the drolvarg rages .

Sacred Impressions
To find the patterns that will inspire you, you will need to kill Chetari warriors in Dragon Necropolis, and Lictors in the Heart of Sanctus Seru. The patterns you will need are the tooth impressions of the Chetari warriors and the breastplate symbols of the Lictors of the Heart.

Eminent Impressions
To find the patterns that will inspire you, you will need to kill strong sentinels in Thundercrest, and flameweave menders in the Nest. The patters you will need are the engraved patterns on the chest of the sentinels and the embossed patterns on the bracers of the flameweave menders.

Exalted Impressions
To find the patterns that will inspire you, you will need to kill Darkroot shaman in Direwind, and adult mammoths in Icefall. The patterns you will need are totems that the Darkroot shaman imbed in their body and the shape of the molars of the adult mammoths.

Darkhollow Geode
Find a large Darkhollow Geode and bring it back.

After making all these things to skill up on ... there is almost no market for these items to other players (selling at cost), the vendors will not buy them, and they cannot be offered as tribute. This is a lot of work doing the quests, farming the ingredients, and a lot of plat spent on items that I ended up destroying to make room in my inventory

On quest pages, the expansion icon indicates the era in which the quest was introduced. Compare this to item pages, where the expansion icon tends to indicate that the expansion is required to obtain the item.

I spend 2 more hours back in Solusek to get 10 more gnome meats and can't figure out how to give them to him. I hailed him hoping that would work, but it didn't.

Yeah actually... I recently researched and equipped a human cultural charm. You combine the expert charm pattern along with a small block of magic clay(enchanter made) and a water flask in a pottery wheel to make an unfired expert charm (Trivial is 111). The expert level human charm () was made by combining the 3 human cultural expert components: Expert's Bar of Claviger Steel, Experts Sagacious Swatch, and Experts Stargazer Swatch with 3 unstacked Unfired Expert Charm and a Symbol of Derived Diversity (PoK bought component)in a Kiln to produce Expert's Charm of Derived Diversity (Trivial 222)... so far that seems to be the only way to make them is in 3's.

Molds are used for metal armor. Human druids wear Journeyman's Sagacious armor which is tailored. Read your ancestral book again, there should be a recipe for patterns which calls for a large bottle of ink, parchment, a bookbinder, a quil and maybe something else...they use the patterns to make your armor using a loom. Good luck

Okies you guys, for all my fellow dwarfs I will tell you guys how to make this stuff.

First off in order to even hope to begin you need a Zombie skin,garve mold, rotting orc tooth,crushbone battlebeads. You go to kaladim and hand them in. YAR then gives you a BOOK named Acestrial Armor. KEEP IT!!

Then take this Book, High quality Firing sheet,Huge block of clay, Compacted Backpack,And the Sculpting tools to the Kiln/Pottery Wheel that is behind Dooni!! the same chick u buy some of the above items from....

Once you combine this you'll get a backpack full of molds 20 each 40 of the wrists.

Now to take the molda and make the armor!!

Now the first thing you need to do in order to make the armor is to make the bars. In order to make the bars you get the following and combine them in the dwarf cultural forge. they are :

Small Block Of Brellium,Metallic Drake Scales,Dwarven Smithy Hammer and take these and combine them in the Dwarf cutural forge. NOW THE CULTURAL FORGE for us DWARFS is in KALADIM right beside the lil POOL in front of the taskgivers building/is kinda right across from the arena and you'll see 2 forges. THE RIGHT FORGE is the CULTURAL FORGE.

Now that you have created your bars, now you have to turn those into the sheets. You do that by combining the following in the same forge. those are:
Dwarven Smithy Hammer/water flask/and one the BARS u just made.

Congratz you now have your sheets!!!!

Last and final step to make your armor. In that same forge, combine the following:

3 Sheets , Breastplate mold, Large brick of Brellium, Dwarven Smithy Hammer. If your lucky and your skill is high enough you will make the 99ac breastplate. Hope this walkthrough helps you guys out and makes it easier to understand the combines.

just an FYI.........Leggings require another 3 sheets and the head/wrists/hands require needs 1 sheet. ALSO a TIP grab about 20 DRAKE scales ,,,,,,as if your not round 300 even with blacksmithing mastery you'll more n likely fail a few times.

However, my lvl 67 Warrior keeps getting the message that the objects he wants to combine for the Shar Vahl Sewing Kit cannot be combined in that forge.
He was able to successfully combine Vah Shiir sewing needles in the forges near Hollowshade Moor zone.

Is the cultural forge in Shar Vahl bugged?
I did a petition and bug report on it, in the hopes that a GM will respond with something remotely helpful to the situation but am not holding my breath on it. So I am asking here.
Anyone else had these problems?

The Don Armor is an awesome idea. Being able to create and own such items without being in a raid guild evens the field considerably. I do have a concern though. The effects of the GM and Master gear include Mana Regen no matter your class... that isnt very helpful for classes that dont use mana. Makes paying the extra coin due to the effect rather extreme considering most go for 50k (rare finds) to generally 100k to above 200k due to the lack of a component (Crushed Diamond Dust for Master gear is nearly rare / ultra-rare. Note the lack of Master level armors available) and Glossy / Metallic Drake drops (uncommon - seems almost common). Why the difficulty ? I'd presume to force tradeskillers into DoN adventures. Practicing skills on 386 Trivial combines with skills of 265 (around that) seems to carry a stiff penalty and extremely limited chance to skillup .. so 99% of the combines are pretty much guarenteed to fail. I dont understand the reasoning for severely limiting key items needed for Master level combines. This is a HUGE gap.. and all but cuts out DoN gear for levels 45 thru 65, unless they opt to keep gear designed for < level 45 players. Yes, the GM Symbols can be used in Expert level armor. There's a combo im sure everyone wouild be proud to show off.. to newb's. Unfortunately, this leaves the developers looking rather "tight" with an appearance of "baiting" players to spend countless, unproductive hours farming greens and low blues, with not the chance to get experience so much as the near guarentee of losing experience thru death's while doing so. I am hoping that there is the chance that this was an unfortunate oversight, but after over 6 years playing.. i fear this assumption isnt based on reality.

Is there no info on Woddie Ranger armor on this site? i have been looking but all i see is how to make the bars that we apparently need to make the armor but nothing of the armor itsself... this is quite frustrating as i am interested in the tunic if i can figure out how to make them but i dont want to go through it in game and do al that and then it isnt as good as my tae ew tunic even with the augs i can get for it... someone help me im so lost lol
Are the recipes available through an in game NPC ?

I'm an Ogre warrior. I've done the experts pattern books both for the armor and the symbols. I got my bags of armor mold and symbols patterns. But the books don't say any more. My question is where did these recipes came from ? And can they be found in game ?

Did the first quest in Sol A (Dark Elf). Got the message that my quest for Sol A has been updated, assuming I can now kill the other mobs. Had to camp and server was patched. Zoned into Sol A, no message when I killed the mobs.

Any ideas or am I screwed?

Thanks!

Did you turn in the drops from your first set of kills back to the quest npc? your quest is normally kill a set amount of mobs and collect an item. Bring back like 4 of the item and then he tells you to go kill some more and bring back maybe 1 item.

It seems that the recipe on EQ Traders is correct. The dropped component needed to make these bars is not a Finely Crafted Targ Shield, but rather a Loose Scale, dropped by a young scaled wolf in East Cabilis.

This was confirmed tonight. Also sending in pics.

I for one am ecstatic for the DoN cultural armors and augs!! Why you ask? Because Half-elves were included!!!!! It's a bummer when you realize the toon you been playing can't make anything cool because she's a half breed. Now she can!!! /dance

So far I've been able to make a journeyman wrist item and an expert cuirass /happy ...but the master eludes me. Foolish Racnar hides! you suxxor =)
