Gartrog Smitehammer may be found at -1320, -370 post-revamp.

You say, 'Hail, Gartrog Smitehammer'

Gartrog Smitehammer says 'You have heard of the strange stones being recovered from ancient dungeons? It is true. Powerful stones of unknown origins have been discovered as of late in the newly discovered dungeons. I see you wield a warrior's most prized honor. Congratulations on your acquiring such a fine weapon. It holds great power. I worry however if you were to try to augment your new weapon with one of these new stones. I have done some research and it seems the Red Scabbard used to combine and uncombined your weapon, could potentially harm any augmentation you might add. However with the help of Wenden here, we have been able to successfully forge all three versions of your weapon! The scabbard no longer works with them, but we have achieved some nice results by adding various augmentations to them. We could perhaps craft you a new set of weapons if you are [interested].'

You say, 'I am interested.'

Gartrog Smitehammer pulls out a shining smithy's hammer. 'Hand me your Red Scabbard and your Jagged Blade of War. I will supply the rest of the metal since you helped out Kargek with the note from his brother and the gift you gave to him.'

Give him the Red Scabbard and Jagged Blade of War.

Gartrog Smitehammer begins to furiously work the metal. Sparks fly and a faint magical aura seems to surround the immediate area. 'Ah, a fine job! Your new weapons, ______! Good luck on your travels and if you find any of the augmentation stones, you can now use them to make these fine weapons ever finer!'

You receive back a augmented version of the Jagged Blade of War.

He just keeps handing them back with "I have no need for this, name. You can have it back.". I did the augmentable turn in before at about lvl 30 or 35 so i guess I just keep checking back.

I got the augmentable swords at level 35. I had been checking it every 5 levels and level 35 did the trick.
You get all three swords

The quest description says you get back an augmentable version of the JBoW that can be converted to the BoS and BoT, and back again. This is incorrect. Your scabbard is gone, and you just end up with permanent copies of all three weapons in your inventory.

Ok so all this quest is for is to convert Jagged Blade of War to (Augmented) Jagged Blade of War ?

Or does the quest also give you augmented versions of Blade of Tactics and Blade of Strategy ?

If so, do the unaugmented versions of those weapons disappear?

I just finished my third warrior epic 1.0. Yes you get all 3 back if you do the hand in to make them augmentable, you lose the scabbard and the original pair of 1 hand slash weapons are gone. Do not do the trick with the summoned swords from a mage to make the blade of tactics and blade of strategy as you won't see the augmentable ones in the return from Gartrog. My ogre warrior whose 1.0 I did years ago has an augmentable Jagged Blade of war and a normal no augment slot Blade of Tactics and Blade of Strategy..

they won't fix if for you and doing the 1.0 again to get the scabbard might work but you would probably need to destroy the non augmentable ones in inventory. I have heard conflicting versions of whether this will give you augmentable ones again.

Keeping the scabbard and the original ones I did on my Vah Shir. The ogre has the aug able 2hs and 2 non aug 1hs and the inky warrior has all 3 augmentable. Keeping all three the way they are so I have 3 examples.

Today on Mangler TLP (6/7/2019) having the un-augmentable BOT and BOS in inventory and hanging JBOW and Scabbard in resulted in only receiving an augmentable JBOW. Beware

They even retro-nerfed it. If you had it before the change you will have lost the augmentable BoT and BoS.

Is the quest NPC in the revamped East Freeport on TLP 3.0 (Ragefire/Lockjaw)?

The quest itself is LDoN era, but it could be active... as they have allowed melee augmentations since launch on TLP it would follow that you could augment your warrior epic.

Still works ;)

And it is Sword of Runes from the level 26 mage spell. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=9264

Make sure you have the Jagged Blade of War and not the Blade of Strategy/Tactics.
Place Summoned: Sword of Runes in the Red Scabbard.
Combine.
You now have all three weapons.
Hand in the scabbard and Jagged Blade of War.
Do a happy dance with dual BoT/BoS's ;)

yep the trick still works, just did it today. basically this just gives you two blades of strategy and two blades of tactics for a cool double blue or double red look. i followed these instructions from further down on this page:


"Just did this less than 5 minutes ago. It still works. However, it does not work quite as posted. Here's a step by step of what I did.

Had a guildie create me a couple Blade of Runes. I was wearing the BoT and BoS. I attempted to combine 1 Blade of Runes in the Red Sheath, but could not because it said it would create a duplicate (Blade of Strategy). So I tried to combine 2 Blade of Runes in the Red Sheath and got the 'cannot combine in this container' message.

Took my BoS and BoT, combined them in the sheath for the JBoW.

Then I combined 1 Blade of Runes in the Red Sheath and recieved a BoS and BoT.

*evil grin*

Took my JBoW and Red Sheath to Gartrog Smitehammer, turned them in, and recieved my AUGMENTABLE BoS, BoT, and JBoW... as well as having the non-augmentable BoS and BoT equipped!

The icon was changed as well as making them augmentable."

Epic weapon people will not talk to you until you are 51. PLUS in order to do the 1.0 you have to get items from Plane of Sky and Plane of Fear, hence every minimal level of 46

The sky drops are multiquestable, and in numerous cases you can turn quest items in to an npc that refuses to speak to you to still obtain the reward. I knew a warrior who was a very low level with his epic. I can't remember what level, but around the 20 or 30 mark.

# Jun 08 2007 at 11:18 PM Rating: Decent
I finished the epic at 33. The quest guy for "Make it Augmentable" said he did not need my JBoW or red scabbard. I went out and leveled to 35, and finally came back to freeport today to try it, and it worked. Sword of runes trick still works as well. The worn effect on blade of tactics also stacks with itself. The only problem with this quest besides the level limit is that the augmentable JBoW has the same icon as the other two augmentable blades, making them hard to tell apart.
Yes, it still works.

"You receive an augmentable version of the Jagged Blade of War, which can be converted to augmentable versions of the Blade of Strategy and the Blade of Tactics and back again."

You do NOT receive the Red Scabbard back with this quest. You do get back 3 seperate epic pieces. The 2hs JBoW, Blade of Strategy and Blade of Tactics. 3 augmentable pieces, no red scabbard.

First off, if you plan to use the sword of rune trick, do it before you do this. As of 5/27/06 it still works. Now, all other information is correct but the following. On turnin, I received Blade of Tactics, Blade of Strategy and Jagged Blade of War back. All 3, but not the Red Scabbard.

Gartrog Smitehammer is located near the 2nd gate to E Free under a tent, along side Wenden Blackhammer and Kargek Redblade. To find them, zonen in from North Ro to East Free. As soon as you enter the first opening, look to the right. You will see a wagon near a building in the center of the court yard. Go around that side, past the wagon and you will see the tent with the epic 3some. If you go the right, you should not get aggro. Be wary that the guard patrols pass near the tent, so timing can be critical. Not sure, becuase I am not KOS. Loc neg 1322, neg 358

Doing it twice?

There's ogres here, so we can't leave it to them to figure it out on thier own. This is probably how you get 2 red swords (which would be nice) and 2 blue swords (for blue frogs) without doing this quest twice.

Find mage, level 29 or higher. Ask him for a Summoned: Blade of Runes. Combine that in you red scabbard, and you will receive the 2-handed sword. (This was a fix for some warriors who lost both versions.) This should work even if you have the two one-handers.

While you have the 3 non-augable swords, turn in the two hander and the scabbard, and you should have 5 swords, as listed below.

If you know how to store a no drop, lore item in a way that doesn't conflict with getting another, you could even have 6 epics, but I don't know any reason you would WANT to do that. (If you want to try this, it involves dying and if it were actually useful, would be considered an exploit.) Maybe you could convince people that you did your epic twice?

Don't bother doing any part of this quest twice. (Unless you're planning to MQ it for someone else.)

Here are the dialogues for this quest

Hail, Gartrog Smitehammer

Gartrog Smitehammer says ''You have heard of the strange stones being recovered from ancient dungeons? It is true. Powerful stones of unknown origins have been discovered as of late in the newly discovered dungeons. I see you wield a warrior's most prized honor. Congratulations on your acquiring such a fine weapon. It holds great power. I worry however if you were to try to augment your new weapon with one of these new stones. I have done some research and it seems the Red Scabbard used to combine and uncombined your weapon, could potentially harm any augmentation you might add. However with the help of Wenden here, we have been able to successfully forge all three versions of your weapon! The scabbard no longer works with them, but we have achieved some nice results by adding various augmentations to them. We could perhaps craft you a new set of weapons if you are [interested].''

I am interested

Gartrog Smitehammer pulls out a shining smithy's hammer. 'Hand me your Red Scabbard and your Jagged Blade of War. I will supply the rest of the metal since you helped out Kargek with the note from his brother and the gift you gave to him.'

Gartrog Smitehammer begins to furiously work the metal. Sparks fly and a faint magical aura seems to surround the immediate area. 'Ah, a fine job! Your new weapons, Sakryn! Good luck on your travels and if you find any of the augmentation stones, you can now use them to make these fine weapons ever finer!'

#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 24 2004 at 8:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) the way the procs work is this, you do the DD, and then you get 250 intial hate, then after 6 seconds you get another 250, it might go on im not sure, you notice because when you proc epic, like the 2hander, and someone else procs it, it says your rage of vallon has worn off... it doesnt do it normally tho, it might add extra aggro per taunt, there is no real way to find out seeing as eq doesnt give us raw numbers on hate
#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 12 2004 at 5:42 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) warriors are actually damage dealers, high end warriors can dish out 250 damage per second but in the end honestly it doesnt matter much for you, as long as you hold solid aggro unless you are infact high end time. the epics are fine the way they are. 14/24 isnt THAT bad, and the effects are nice, just throw a lifetap proc on the red blade and a anger 3 on the blue blade and they will pwn
