Combine Signet Ring  

 

O.k. Just started this quest last night. Completed 0, 1, 1a, 2, 2a, 2b, and did the hail/started #3 All in order. My ring is stuck on 60 HP/Mana/Endu. Myself and 2 other group members were having the same problem. Group leader thought we may have missed a hail somewhere, So we went back and did all the hails starting at #1 again. Was able to redo all hails (except for #2, the one that you need the parchment to hand in), Ring still did not update. I did the "guidance" to Elnot and I am flagged for the 3rd mission, so I guess not all my hails are registering. I would hate to think I have to Redo the mission to get the rubbing/etching piece for the hand in and hail.

I am not after the ring for the stats as I already have better, but it is frustrating not knowing what I am missing when I have followed all the steps and back tracked repeatedly. Strange that it was affecting everyone in our group that was working on the darn thing. Any ideas or suggestions? Anyone else having the same issue?

I have task 0, 2 and 3 completed, so my ring shows no stats. If I piggy into Solteris and loot "A Corrupted Drop of Focused Sunlight" and do the combine for the upgrade, what will the ring show? Will it show any stats at all? Will it jump straight to the 450hp/mana stats?

If you are stuck at 165 HP and you think you have done enough to jump to 195, make sure you say "proceed" to sodut and "shissar" to elnot he gives you a quest to go see zio and then it gets upgraded, this is confusing because I could get 6 from zio but once i did it, it didnt update the ring to 195 only after i finished what is 5a did it update.

Mission Completed - Stats:
Solteris #0 - none
Solteris #1,1a - 30hp/mana/end
Solteris #2,2a - 60hp/mana/end
Solteris #2b,3 - 90hp/mana/end
Solteris #4 - 120hp/mana/end
Solteris #5,5a - 165hp/mana/end (& Syllisar Access)
Solteris #6 - 195hp/mana/end (& Sylissar portals now useable)
Solteris #7 - 225hp/mana/end
Solteris #8,8a - 300hp/mana/end (& Solteris Access)

*edit- A couple notes:
-RING STATS appear to update according to the highest task *in consecutive order* you have done (ie: 1,2,3,8 - 3 is highest in consecutive order).
-FLAGS are valid no matter what, so long as you were there for the completion of the task, and didnt zone etc.

For those complaining of the AC and Aug slot, the Combine Signet Ring turns into;

A Glowing Combine Signet Ring (melee)
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO TRADE
Lore Group: Combine Signet Ring
Slot: FINGER
AC: 35
STR: +26 DEX: +26 STA: +26 CHA: +26 WIS: +26 INT: +26 AGI: +26 HP: +495 MANA: +490 ENDUR: +490

Required level of 75.
WT: 0.2 Size: TINY

The AC is still low but with a AC Aug it will be fine.

If Solteris is out of the question perhaps another ring would fit you better.

Kil.

this ring is suposed to grow after completeing Raid events in solterus

ok, now how do you get into solteris

After completing Solt Access Tasks 1, 2 and 4 (missing 3) the stats were:

AC 7, All Stats +4, All Saves +4, HP/Mana/End +90.
-----------
After completing Solt Access Tasks 1, 2, 3 and 4 the stats were:

Ac 10, All Stats +6, All Saves +6, HP/Mana/End +120, Regen +1, FT +1.
-----------

I did not check the stats after just doing tasks 1 and 2, so I do not know if to get the stats increases the tasks must be sequential or not (i.e. if you do 1, 2, 4 will the ring update each time, or will you only get the update from task 4 if you have already won task 3?)
