Dragons of Norrath Cultural Equipment  

Help. I'm have my "Journeyman's Cultural Armor Book" and now am working on the "Expert's Book". I killed the 50 Gnome Miners and looted 10 Gnome Meat (I read that the gnome meat requirement have been reduced from 20 to 10). I tried giving the meat to Dosan Vis'Moor as directed, but nothing happened. Since only 4 items can be given to NPC at anyone time, I gave "4", "4", and 2 (3 gives). Didn't work. 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. Any suggestions -- what am I doing wrong? Is this quest broken"?

I need help. I've played RPG's all my life but this is totally different. Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't understand Trade Skills. I want to make my own armor and augs, but what's trivials? Is that the skill lvl you need or what? If someone could explain the basics I'd highly appreciate it. Once I know what this stuff means I'll figure it out.

Wrists 316
Gloves, Boots, Helm 334
Sleeves 368
Chest, Legs 386

This applies to both armors and augs.

Edit: GM charms appear to trivial at 388.

When I make the Aug Patterms I get all my stes no problem and making everything is easy provide you can get all the componenets like rhino horn and lambent stones and fire opals ( human cultural armor erollisis marr)

the only odd thin is I get 20 charm patterns and there is no information on them.

ive mad augs and armor no problem what do i do with 20 charm patterns??

Just thought i would drop this in for some entertainment value.Needles can be crafted by anyone with enough skill and are tradeable.Sewing kits can be made by the appropriate race in their cultural forge and are also tradeabe.The reason i am listing this is because I relapsed into a newb mode and tried to create a sewing kit for a human guildie on my barbarion toon and wound up with 2 extra Northman sewing kits.

Do you need to do them in order? or can someone just jump to Grandmaster if they are appropriate level.

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.

Can you skip journeyman's and start with expert's or do you need to go in order?

I got grandmaster quest at lvl 67, so the lvl 70 mentioned as being required is incorrect

I have been to EQ traders and searched Shar Vahl for a couple of hours actually.
There are three forges in the city that I could find.
According to EQtraders, the forge in the building with "Breakman?"<SP?>, the NPC that gives you the smithing quest is the cultural forge.
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?

I was able to get the GM halfling task in Rivervale at lvl 68. This contradicts the sentence "Tradeskill components obtainable earlier than 70th level, but you won't be able to get the task for the required book until then.", on the overview. off to stillmoon I go!

Does anyone know where the halfelf cultural forge is.Be having trouble with it since its the only race in the game without it on city.

I trying to combine the items for the molds in the kiln behind the guy that gives the book quest. It doesn't work for me, is there a missing part to the recipe? or is there a different kiln I am supposed to be using? Someone please help me, this has been driving me crazy for a week now.

Where do I find the ore I thought it could be bought off local vendors but can't find it anywhere in Kaldium.
