I have the fabled Mystic Koda `Dal Mithril Cuirass. I am very proud of this fine piece of armor. My lvl 46 Erudite Paladin is himself a 180 smithe and can only dream of crafting Mithril armor. I am grateful to the High Elf that spent hours facing a firey forge developing the craft wich Only his race can create. It was a First choice for my Bard. Its amazing dexterity and Charisma help me to miss fewer notes. My hats off to those High Elf smithe's.

The whole population of Norrath knows what kind of pain in the a$$ it is to make the moonlight temper (Ever heard of MORNING DEW? You can get one per hour at 170 foraging.) And for the cost of all the horsesh!t, we high elves get shafted yet again!
Look at the stats - out of all the necessary and useful stats, the full set gives an eye-whopping 50+ bonus to CHARISMA. And what's the effect of it, for high elven paladin? We don't even know what kind of role Charisma plays in lull line of spells, which sucks big time anyway.
DE cultural armors come with higher AC, and NO CHA bonus. Gee, verant, do us some justice here. Lower AC and jack-squat stat bonus we all can live with. JUST GET RID OF THE CHA BONUS AND GIVE US SOMETHING USEFUL!!

Once again and yes it must be said. I as a Half Elf BARD love the armor. CHA for charming and Mezzing will save your Paladin butt and the DEX on this is very nice for the cost to make it.
I agree that the charisma is really quite useless for the warrior, cleric and paladin, but a bard might appreciate the bonuses here. Nice ac, great dex and great cha would make this a smart choice for a woodelf or halfelf bard. Just my 2cp.
That's exactly why I'm reading this. My Halfelf Bard is woefully low on Dex and CHA. Hmmm. I am going to be sitting in Gfay foraging like mad for the next century getting the morning dews needed for just two pieces, boots and legs. Think the count is 9 with no failures, which is possible as my High Elf smith guildie is only 170 skill plus her Geerlock.

hey i am thinking of gettin a full set along with a dag,morningstar, and longsword... so what would a smithy charge for a full set and 3 weaps? sorry to spam on the price topic

The price will depend on what server you're on. If there are a lot of High Elf Grandmasters, that'll likely drive the price down.
Smiths are also likely to give you a discountif you provide the tempers. On Drinal, I pay only 1.5-2k per piece if I supply at least 3 per tempers, as opposed to 5kpp PER SHEET without them. (meaning, 15k on a BP)

Getting the skill to make these can be a pain but getting the temper is the real pain. If you want any of these enchanted koada'dal items start saving the temper components. Any smith is likely to have the padding and silks on hand but this requires vials of swirling mist,
lots of morning dew, and a couple of essense of moonlight per attempt. It's a long way from trivial at skill 200. So you can figure on 3 to 4 attempts per success.
Morning dew is foraged in greater and lesser feydark. Get your ranger/druid friends to save it for you. Essence of moonlight drops off the vampiric types in Mistmoore. You will sometimes see it sold at 300 or so a stack. Vials of swirling mist drop off mist elementals sometimes. I've gotten a few from najena and once one in sky. If you want it the most effective way so far is to farm najena.. run through and clear all 12 of the elemental spawns every 20 minutes .. one-two of htose will be mist each time.. you'll average about one vial an hour that way. So four hours later you have enough to probably get one piece. Which is why smiths aren't exactly lining up to sell this stuff. Oh, and feedback Verant about the extreamly low drops on this temper component, most others are not nearly so bad.

i really need to get a bp like this for my bard (nice charisma, imho :) and i was wondering if i should completely stop baking and start smithing to make these and other kinds of armor. if so can you guys tell me anything like how much $$ i'll have to invest in all this, thanks!
For those of you wondering various things surrounding smithing and trading:
1. complete recipes are found on http://www.eqtraders.com .
2. to be a smith you can completely get up to 175 right in freeport. You must be able to zone into north and east freeport.
3. beyond 175 skill you need to proceed to high hold pass. buy large medium quality block from the 2nd vendor near the bank. 3 blocks and 1 water make a medium quality brick. 1 medium quality brick, smithy hammer, and 1 water make one folded medium quality sheet of metal. Bank about a full back pack of sheets and then proceed to where ever you need to get molds.
4. small/medium freeport
small kaladim
large halas/oggok
5. start with gorget then move on to bracer all the way up to cloak which should take you to 242 skill in fine steel.
6. after that is cultural.
7. mithril is found only in felwithe the high elven city. You must enchant the mithril brick itself if its to be enchanted. You then proceed with smithing as normal.
I'm not at cultural yet so I'll keep you posted. Oh and trading can always be done. You should go post on the forums at http://eq.castersrealm.com.

So far all high elf crafted items only imbue on emerald (hehe we get a 14pp gem while dwarves got to pay 125pp for theirs *glad he ain't no dwarf*), restricting to tunare, but since it gives WIS and sometimes STR on the other imbued objects, I believe it will do so imbuing the BP too. The AC for imbue is usually the AC much lower. So really the other classes can't do "better", this stuff still rocks for elven clerics, paladins, and bards regardless of deity, but if you follow tunare you can get yer mana and strength buffs too (if the pattern holds). To my knowledge not much if any imbued/enchanted koada'dal mith plate has been made and sent it, but it seems logical that the recipes exists. For more info on the new Tier'dal (Dark Elf) and Koada'Dal (High Elf) magical stats for plate (just got patched in) go to www.eqtraders.com. The message boards there are full of info on the new changes.

to get the plate armor enchanted, do you enchant the folded sheets or the chain jointing?
Anonymous
To get the armor enchanted, you have to get the bricks of mithril enchanted before you craft them into anything else. It's all in the bricks. And considering that the compenents for the temper needed for this armor are either foraged or dropped in Mistmoore, Najena, and Steamfont as uncommon and rare, and that nobody has found a trivial level for this piece, as far as I know(It's over 230, that's for sure), plus the cost of the mithril(which is expensive), and possible failures if you're below 250 in skill, and 4k suddenly becomes a very conservative estimate of cost.

Im kinda suprised that rangers cant wear the plate. I mean the int casters can wear the chain mail, why not rangers getting boosted up to the plate in this case?
Anonymous
Why would u be surprised? Rangers aren't meant to wear heavy plate ... how can you run around being fast and agile and use a bow effectively with heavy armor on? This is a role-playing game and i think some people sometimes want the game to be changed into something totally different. Casters don't go running around shooting things and don't need light armor. If you want to wear plate be a war, pal, sk. If every ranger in Norrath ran around wearing plate, then i guess there would be no "true" rangers.....just a bunch of warriors. I have a ranger and I play him for what he is.... a "ranger"

I suppose for the same reasons a ranger could wear the mithril breastplate from Sol B, or mages wizards and enchanters can wear enchanted Koada'dal Chain mail. This is plate crafted by the most talented of the high elf smiths. It IS light formfitting and would offer full range of motion when worn. I suppose it makes more sense to you that a ranger can wear a phase spider carapace than elven crafted plate armor. Talk about your heavy armor.

The is a roleplaying reason for allowing the elves(both good and evil) to wear the chain. In mnay of the games thisone is bsed on elven chain posses a property that any elf can wear regardless of class. Also from the roleplaying sense even with the special craftmanship in the elven plates they are still to noisy to be good woodsman or rogue armors. The penalty for wearing such a plate in roleplaying game if you weren't supose to (like a rogue) is a serious loss of skill. I doubt VI felt like implenting that so the rangers and rogues just can't use.

Well, yes, it's an excellent piece of armor. But seriously, Yak should be smacked hard for this. (Yakitzma for those not in the know of who's who in tradeskill dev.) Stats, are fine, I have no problem with them, and they fit well in with the whole Elf thing (though Int and Cha might have been better, but hey, thats nitpicking)
Look at the AC. 26. mucho AC on a crafted item. This is better than the kings of Smithing, Dwarfs. Enchanted Imbued Brellium is.. 22. 22 AC, for the short stocky smiths. And 26 for the skinny finger wigglers who make already a good set of chain type armor. /boggle
/em hangs his Dwarven Smithing Hammer back on the wall.

The Following is the stats for the enchanted Dwarven crafter armor. The dwarven armor you qouted is the Enchanted AND imbued Brell armor, which has lower ac but adds WIS to each piece, making it better for clerics. But in the basic enchanted verion the dwarven has 28ac whereas the kod'al only has the 26, so yes, dwarves are still superior, dont worry
Enchanted:
mask AC 8, STA 4, sv fire 1, sv magic 4
collar AC 10, STR 4, STA 6, sv vs fire 1, sv vs magic 4
bracer AC 11, STR 4, STA 4, sv fire 1
cloak AC 11, STR 6, STA 6, sv fire 3, sv magic 5
pauldrun AC 12, STR 4, STA 4, sv fire 4, sv magic 2
gauntlets AC 13, STR 4, STA 4, sv fire 4, sv magic 4

mithril cannot be dyed of course........
this must be very expensive (more than 4k cause this quest is VERY hard to make, and VERY expensive also)

Wow, can any smiths capable of making this item give me some kind of price range of what they would charge for this AWESOME item?
When I say awesome, I mean for a Bard. The rest of those classes could probably do better.

Oh also, can anyone tell me what color this is when you make it? and can it be dyed?
Anonymous
it is a teal/ greenish blueish color and can't be died. if you'd like to see a picture go to eqtraders and check their picture archives. there are pics of the regular kodadal mithril armor which looks the same.
