    Nicholas is located at the paladin camp on a hill in the northeast part of the Mountains of Rathe. You need Amiable faction with Clerics of Underfoot to get this quest. You also need Amiable with Temple of Solusek Ro to get the Ronium.

    You say, 'Hail, Nicholas'

    Nicholas says, 'Greetings, friend. I am the keeper of the [Boots of Ro]. Please rest here with us in our camp of righteousness. No harm can come to you while we paladins keep watch.'

    You say, 'Boots of Ro'

    If you are not amiable:

    "You and I must be brothers and serve the Lord of Underfoot. Go to Kaladim and serve her cathedral. When you think you are ready. then ask Lord Datur if you are an [honored member] of the temple. If the answer is yes. then I will trust you."

    Once Amiable:

    Nicholas says, 'If you desire the mold needed for smithing the Boots of Ro, then first, you shall prove your power. I have long sought an ancient holy weapon called the brazen brass kilij. I have heard rumors of detailed plans on how to make it, coming from Faydwer. Seek out the kilij plans. Bring them to me and you shall have the mold.'

    The Kilij Plans drop off Sandgiant Husam in South Ro. Give the plans to Nicholas and receive Mold of Ro Boots.

    Nicholas says, 'Ahh! The kilij! The legend was true. As for you... the mold for the Boots of Ro. Go and speak with Thomas for the final component. Ask him of [Lord Searfire]. Brell be with you.

    Your faction standing with Clerics of Underfoot has been adjusted by 20.
    Your faction standing with Kazon Stormhammer has been adjusted by 20.
    Your faction standing with Miners Guild 249 has been adjusted by 15.

    Thomas is located at the same camp, next to Abigail.

    You say, 'Lord Searfire'

    Thomas says, 'Lord Searfire is a great forge master. He was called forth to the land of fire lakes. It is said that he now toils in the name of Solusek Ro within a hidden temple of that land. He and he alone knows how to obtain [ronium], a needed component for forging the sacred Armor of Ro.'

    You say, 'ronium'

    Thomas says, 'It is an alloy created from two rare metals. Only [Lord Searfire] knows the formula.'

    Now head to the Temple of Solusek Ro and meet Lord Searfire there

    You say, 'what bar of ronium?'

    Lord Searfire says 'You seek ronium. It is a fine blend of metals. I alone hold the secret of its formula. I, and I alone, can offer it to those who serve this temple. Do you wish a [bar of the alloy]?'

    You say, 'I wish a bar of the alloy.'

    If you don't have Amiable faction with Temple of Solusek Ro:

    Lord Searfire says, 'There is much service to Ro which you must perform. I cannot trust you until you have proven your worth to us. Seek service within this temple or join the crusade within the desert of Ro.'

    If you have Amiable (or better) faction with Temple of Solusek Ro:

    Lord Searfire says 'Take this Sol Cauldron. Within it shall be combined elements of this world. You will add to it, melatite, two bars of enchanted platinum, Mistmoore granite, the sands of Ro and soil of Underfoot. If you be a master blacksmith, the elements shall combine to make the enchanted metal I have named 'ronium.''

    You now need to gather components:
    - 1 Melatite from MB and MC clockworks in Solusek's Eye ;
    - 2 Enchanted Platinum Bar from enchanters ;
    - 1 Mistmoore Granite from gargoyles in Castle Mistmoore ;
    - 1 Sand of Ro from sand giants in South Ro and North Ro ;
    - 1 Soil of Underfoot from this quest.

    Combine them in the Sol Cauldron to make a Bar of Ronium (no skill required).

    Finally, combine the Bar of Ronium with the Mold of Ro Boots to make your Boots of Ro (no skill required).

    The Sol Cauldron

    This might seem a bit trivial to most, but it was a HUGE source of frustration to me, as I was unaware. The faction needed to get the Sol Cauldron (the container used to combine all the things to make ronium) from Lord Searfire is indeed amiable. It took me three weeks (yes, I'm embarrassed :) ) to get it because I didn't TARGET Lord Searfire when I talked to him. I've NEVER heard that an NPC had to show in the target window while you talked to them, but it does indeed make a difference. Good luck to you all, as the Ro armor is no easy task.

    Lord Searfire DOES say that you need to be a master blacksmith to make ronium... This used to be the case, and hence, I became a master smith. But apparently now, it is no longer needed to be a master. I think they should change what searfire says so that ppl don't get freaked out when he says: You must be a master blacksmith to make the alloy.

    the armor is way under scaled for the quest you have to go and do for it and no other class in the game has to go thu half as much to get as good or better. Not only do you need to do quest for the mold but then turn around and do the quest for each item need to make the armor it self, on the average it will take 6 quest to do one armor item and then you start all over again to do another.

    The first time you do a quest for an armor piece it is absurd if you base it on just one piece of armor. But, once you get all your factions correct, the other armor pieces are much easier to do. And you also have a good source for making plat now :) The only part I don't like and don't understand is why they make obtaining melatite so frustrating. It's a rare drop and killing clockworks kills faction with gnomes. I'm not even sure that you can easily restore faction with Merchants of Akanon.

    I agree... the first time was such a pain.. but, after that, it wasn't bad.. I have BP, Greaves, and Boots now, and the first faction was the worst!

    You ARE right Telpyrion. Verant said that they took the skill requierment out of the quest because the armor of RO quests were hard enough and didn't want people going through all the trouble just to have the item fail to be forged.

    I have friends who agree with my theory that no skill at all is needed for making Ro Armor. It is trivial at skill level 1, so your chances are not very highly increased by your skill level. Believe me, IT DOES NOT TAKE SKILL! try it and see (kinda costly, but I'm right)

    I made ro greaves with skill level of 28 or very bad. So it's true no skill level require most likely.
