Breastplate of Ro  

Updated through here.

well, yes, id say it is worth the time if u r not uber twinked, if u are goin along on your own with no help, YES, do this quest

What I don't understand is the complete and utter failure of Verant to design a paladin quest around a paladins strongpoints. We kill undead... it's what were good at. And how many do we kill for our mid-level armor?.... 2!!!!!!
We kill two undead cyclopses and that's it. Aren't my undead killing skills put to fine use...

And then they slap us further by having us slaughter faeries by the dozens, and kill a paladin at the request of another paladin. That one really eats. The paladin who tells you of the Sentry fails to mention that she'll start to hate you if you don't kill him as a werewolf. All she says is to put him out of his misery. Great.... done... now I take faction hits from the very people who requested the assassination.

And the Mistmoore Granite is hellish. "Lets take a quest item (needed in abundance) and make it no drop, and then stick it in the middle of a zone guarded by an endless stream of mobs ranging from green to dark blue (to the characters of the quest level) who aggro unconditionally." Does that seem at all intelligent? Or just cruel? And now, with the recent patch making mob spellcasters so bloody hard, the granite is even harder to reach (let alone the cauldrons).

All I can say is that Verant really doesn't think things over well. They really seem to like to forget about role-playing, character design, and generally the way their game works when it comes to quests. I'm doing the quest anyway, even though there's better armor out there, because I'm rather dedicated to playing a quintessential paladin... with Ro Armor and Ghoulbane and the works. My complaint is only that Verant tends to be shortsighted. Difficult I can accept... but when friends are completing full suits of the mid-level armor for other classes while I'm endlessly battering at the greens of Mistmoore and not getting anywhere... that is beyond difficult, right into ridiculous.

Just FYI if you miss the full moon and get impatient you do have to kill a paladin to get a locket off of Sentry Alechin in SK. Pretty crazy.

If I am not mistaken, Shaman "Totemic" armor requires you to buy an expensive gem for each peice called dufrenite. Also the Cleric peices, which are admittedly easier quests, require enchanted platinum bars. Just some info for comparison, as when I had a druid, I did those quests frequently for cash.

Hehe, To answer your question why we have to spend +200pp, we are doomed! That's it!

BTW they forgot a few zone for that Quest! Fron what i know you have to go in Gfay & in Lesser Faydark (it's almost sure you will die there!)

Have fun & RIP

No unfortuately you turn in the Cauldrons and get a mold then you collect the rest of the pices and make the metal then smith the item

Well this set of armor for pallys is the midway armor for you, same as Ravenscale, Dark Forge, Crafted, Cleric Quest when there was only 50th lvl this was the armor you recived before you went to the planes, it was (and still is IMO) great mid-lvl armor. though nowadays you can see lvl 5's in full sets of this, but technically you are suppose to get this armor your self and all the pieces drop in the lvl apropriate places. when i was but a young druid 20ish.. most of my friends who where my lvl still wore Bronze and Chain, nowadays the twinks rule.. and i see lvl 15 druids with better than what im wearing, and when i was thier lvl i wore full leather.. with no wisdom items and my trusty FS scimmy and Shiney Brass Shield.. (the SBS was my most prized posesion)

also u can PAY 4 the faction hits u need... the erudite in the tent behind the above mentioned orc will give u faction with temple of solusek ro and xp and a random magic scroll (mostly decayed ones) if u give him 3pp

Hehe. LoL.. This is not the hardest part of Ro armor quest.. A group of 30ish to 35ish Can go in to MM and camp all the things needed at 1 time. And while your at it you can camp 2 other things. Here the best way I have see it done.. Get your group into MM castle, and tuck them away in the Maid room.. There are 3 pops in the maid room, so having a bard or chanter is a must. Clear that room, and you have about 28 mins to take out the 2 that pop in the hall, and the other 2 that pop in the butler's room right next to the maids room. After you have cleared those 2 rooms you should still have about 18 to 20 mins left. Run to the kitchen which is right down the hall. You may not even have to go in.. See's the Anicile Cooks can see though the walls.. Pull them back to maid's room.. Kill'em. Get your pots.. Also in the maid's room, 1 garg will spawn.. If you want to get more MM Granite, just pull the 2 gargs that are right next to the kitchen. In 1 trip here and 2 hours of playing.. I went from lvl 36 to 37, got 5 Pots and 7 pieces of MM granite. As far as faction goes.. Just go to Paineel. And spend about 3 hours killing skellies in the newb zone. This is the best place to get bone chips.. I got about 700 in the 3 hours I spent there.. You only need to turn in about 250 to get the amiable faction.. But, if you are doing any Ro quest, this should be 1 stop you make. Cuz, cleric guild love them bone chips.. And love you for givin'em to them. The most difficult and pain in the ars part of Ro Armor is getting the Melatite. Which only drops in Sol A off the Clock works.. But, from what I have seen. There is a bonus to doing the Ro armor, cuz number 1 your learn your way around alot of difficult places, and number 2, you always get more than what you need. When I went to Sol A to farm the Melatite, I not only got 12 bars (weighing in at 5lbs each) but 3 Charred Guardian Shields, 1 Molten Cloak from Gabbie who pops in the clock works castle, 2 Mitirl Quills (Junk) but good fer newb's and some other crap like Defrenite, mineral used in makin totemic armor..

So, to sum it up.. Yes the quest is long, yes some of the Ro' armor is no where near as good as other armor obtainible at the lvl.. But if you do the quest, your bound to get a lot of goodies to make cash along the way.. I just make the Ro' Bp's and sell'em for 1200pp each.. Not a bad deal considerin it only cost 220pp to make.. And I sell the bars of Ronium for bout 600 to 700pp each. So, I hope some of this is useful..

yeah right man like a lvl 49 could get 2 novas off in time. After the first one they would most likely all agro him and hed take like 5 seconds of hits and die. and good luck gettin that second one off cause i am nearly POSITIVE that at least 1-3 ATLEAST if not all of them, will agro him and he wont be able to get the spell off without gettin interupped...but thats just what i think, i could be wrong :P PS i got nothing against wizzys..hell i think they are the sh*t!! :P

NO =)

They're no drop. However if you can get to the Kitchen in Mistmoore and kill the cooks, they drop quite frequently. I camped maid/butler for a while to get fangs for my Warrior. I broke the Kitchen a few times, and kept it broken for a few rounds each time - I must have seen 25 cauldrons drop. I looted about 15 of them, then they took too much space in the bank so I destroyed most of em ;P.

The same goes for granite: If you can get to the Maid/Butler rooms, just camp those and get all the granite you need (there is a gargoyle in each of the rooms). I would avoid the 4 garg room, as there is a roamer - if you're not high enough level and he aggros, the whole ambassador room will come (or is that called the negotiator room? *shrug*).

The camp is in Lesser Faydark, which is probably why some are having trouble.

The dark elf camp can be found a few different ways, and wandering around aimlessly is not one of them. If you know where the Orc Chieftan or Nybright Sisters camp is, its very close to there. It used to be some empty tents, but now hosts the DEs that are highly aggro.

If you come from Steamfont or Greater Faydark, follow the wall left of the entrance (past SF entrance if you are coming from GF) until it turns right. Go right, but when you see hills coming a bit out from the zone wall, and it looks like something could be hidden on the other side, go away from the wall. I dont know what level these things are, but you don't want to walk right into the camp.

If you can find the Mistmoore zone, coming out and heading to the right, you will pass a camp of 4 sisters (nybrights) and not far past that you will see the camp. Its more obvious from this direction, but still stay a good distance away.

Nah, All you have to say is: "I seek a bar of the alloy." Ive done 5 ro quests, and all I do is walk up, target him, and say "I seek a bar of the alloy." and he gives me the cauldron.

I just raised my faction with Clerics of the Underfoot and I only needed to get between amiable and kindly.
