Spirit of Garzicor questions

[nilbog]

Just finished writing this quest - I think it's the longest one I've done.

I completed the quest on live to verify how each step should work and fill the gaps from the online guides.

These are the unanswered questions I have:



trivial for chronium plate? http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=32205&menustr=035000000000
trivial for complete raw blade? http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=9406&menustr=035000000000
trivial for finished naginata blade? http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=9385&menustr=035000000000
trivial for complete shaped blade? http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=9383&menustr=035000000000
trivial for clay coated blade? http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=9384&menustr=035000000000
When did Ethereal Bladed Naginata get upgraded from a 32/37 to 37/40?
Guides mention being able to ask Thurgadin dwarves "What can you tell me about a Dragon Slaying?" and receive the response "Hmmm, not sure about that meself. Try askin Sarl, he'd be knowin a bit about Dragon lore." The npcs on live did not respond.

pras it

figured this quest would be an afterthought considering how long and convoluted it is

[arsenalpow]

I guess this won't be implemented until after the Warrens is in since you need an NPC in there for the quest.

Varent has changed the stats. My guild and I killed Garzicor today (I got kill shot woohoo!) and I foraged the final blade with a smithing skill of 176 and was trivial. I handed the blade in and VI has changed the DMG/DLY to: 37/40 with a Damage Bonus of 34 All other stats and weight remains the same.

Bump to this question .. velious 1 handers used in combo make this item a pretty poor showing, considering the difficulty of the quest. I hope it got a decent bump in stats during the two hander upgrade .. anyone know for sure?

The "two hander upgrade" referenced in one of the comments is the massive game wide retroactive upgrade of many two handed weapons on October 8, 2001. Many of these upgrades are already in game even before the June 2001 Velious general upgrades and the October 2001 2-hand upgrades.

I don't know anyone that did this quest for the Naginata, so pin point date may be difficult. :P If I had to bet, I would guess it was upgraded in October 2001.

Additionally, the quest was bugged for a few months it appears and required the player to farm 2x Starmetal Ore as the hammer/chisel would not break it into two, but just one constituent piece.

The quest will be released with the warrens.

Bump for questions in OP.

Nilbog, if you completed the quest on live open up the tradeskill containers using the live TS Window and search for the recipes listed. If you already combined them recently it should've saved the recipes and it will list what they are all trivial at.

If you can't do this I could maybe run the quest on live and check myself.

At the forge in eqlive, if I search for example.. Chronium Plate, nothing shows up beneath Known Matching Recipes:

I don't believe all trivials are stored there for everything, such as these quest combines. If I'm doing it incorrectly, someone let me know.

[Daldaen]

Some recipes don't save but there are some quest ones which do save. It seems random which they allowed to save and which they didn't. I haven't used the TS interface on live in awhile, I may poke around on it tonight to see if you were doing it wrong / I wasn't remembering how it was done. I will try a combine or two also.

The game would return logs of "you have learned a new recipe" also, so if you search logs for "Chronium" you may see if it includes logs of whether you saved the recipe or not.

Beyond that figuring out exact trivial values will be rough. Just some low/high ranges that exist from the comments.

So, earliest change I can find so far is 10/01

Makes sense in light of the October 2001 2-hander upgrade patch and the quest coming out after the mid-velious general upgrades.

[Ele]

The trivial levels are rough to research. Seems that there might have been a change to some of the levels in 2002 some earlier people are claiming that everything is trivial at 175-180, then others are later claiming that the final combine is not trivial < 180, then you also have people using the +5 blacksmithing bonus hammer.

The 2001 posts seems to indicate most of it is trivial at 175.

Chromium Blade
Forge the chromite ore into a plate. In a forge, combine the Ore + Forging Hammer + Flask of Water. It is known to be trivial at 118 smithing.

Added Chronium Plate at 118 trivial.

Still need research or best guesses on the rest of the combines in OP.

This post says the final combine was trivial at 168 smithing as of 2002. And the final folding of the metal seems to be the only thing that wasn't trivial during the questline at that smithing lvl.
