Eldritch Collective Initiate Sandals  

For those who are having trouble actually getting these combines to work, let me clarify. This newbie armor seems to be different from other newbie armors I have made, in that each piece takes two combines (I only made three pieces). I know it has been stated somewhat in another post, but let me elaborate.

First you have to make some 'material'. This material looks like a rectangular sheet of metal. It is made typically with the raw components specified, but does NOT include the pattern. Some material also requires a similar piece of cloth armor, for example, Cloth Sandals. In these cases, Small Cloth Sandals will not work, even though you may wear a size small. You must locate the regular Cloth Sandals to make the material. This was not too easy, but the cobbler in N Qeynos (near the Temple of Life) has them. Some material is made without a piece of cloth armor. Note that these materials are combined in the 'Tinkered Sewing Kit' even though some places it says 'assembly kit', or something of the like.

Once the material is made, combine it in a regular sewing kit that you can buy from any tailor, along with the pattern. I'm sure a loom works too.

As for the components, be smart. You will find that if you check the vendors, even in the safer areas or zones, you will see that a LOT of these components can be bought for very little. There is no need to go taking on a Harpy at the early stages when the wings are plentiful on the vendors. The hardest thing to find was the Cloth Sandals, beleive it or not. Even the Russet Oxide I saw on several merchants.

I thought that maybe because I was agnostic I could not make the combinations, let me tell you that they made just fine, once I realized that you did not put the pattern in the with the raw components.

Anyway, the best of luck to you. I realize some of you will say 'just read the words... it says it', but I'm hear to tell you that I was conditioned by making other armor and even though I read it over and over, the suttlety did not sink in. The other problem was that someone had posted a list of the items needed and how to combine, but did not specify the two separate combines, which added to the frustration.

This list is in more detail on one of the other pieces, but I thought I'd add it in breif to the rest. For more details, look at the Eldritch Collective Initiate Bracer, message name "drop" by "mikeagne".

These pages give you the caster's book. According to another poster, the gnome camp is in Steamfont at -1160, -1760. They are all level 10, and do not agro. As I have not looked for them yet, I cannot confirm this. Just thought you'd like to know.

As a tinkerer I know this answer, medium armor can be purhcased in felwithe and Kelethin.

was always enjoyable buying steel helms for tinkering...

Medium Cloth is easy to get. You can buy it in Felwithe which isn't all that far from Ak'Anon.

Not sure How often this drops spent about 4 hours last night killing everything including elementals and haven't seen it yet. Spawn rate for Brownies also seems extremely low I have yet to see brownie legs and have only seen 1 Brownie brain and several brownie parts. if my addition is correct all of the initiate items add up to these stats: Int+14 AC+19 Dex+4 Agi+3 Sta+3 and 63 mana. Seems well worth it for a group of quests that you can get xp while completing

To get the sandals, go to Butcher Block mountains. Then go to the Goblin Warrior camp over near the Bandits. Kill the Goblin Warriors they drop medium cloth. Or go into Crushbone and kill centurions. They drop medium, sometimes, too.

This was the hardest item for me to get.The scalps, the wings ,and the tooth, are self explanitory. The russet oxide was at the base of the right pylon outside the mino cave.If you dont find it there I heard that items also appear on and around the big gear.
The hardest part was the sandals.I must have killed 150 Skeletons but they never droped any so as far as I know sleletons only drop cloth wristbands,sleeves, and caps but anything they dropped worked.I bought sandals at felwihte and kelethin but they didnt work.I finally found them in Qeynos at the cobbler shop.
The key is when you right click on the item it must say Cloth Sandals not Small Cloth Sandals .The size on both reads small but the title must say only Cloth Sandals.

I have not seen any Russet Oxide spawn on the ground in a very long time. I used to pick it up a lot, so I do know what it looks like. I am pretty sure they took the ground spawn of it out.

I found an Iron Oxide on an Earth Elemental, but this is not the stuff -- it does not combine in the Assembly Kit. I will just keep killing elementals until I get lucky, I guess.

This quest is maddening!

Assembly Kit is the kit that the quest giver gives you that looks like a chest, you have to combine all the components except the pattern in that first and then take teh combined components and pattern and place them into any sewing kit and combine them.

OK at the risk of looking stupid.. where are the Grikbar Kobold scalps from and also where do you get the tooth from. I've never seen ethere but then I haven't gone on a kobold killing spree in quite some time :)

the russet oxide doesn't drop off of anything. It is a static spawn on the ground over by the merchant in the gear near the minotaur cave
