Smithing molds from Erudiant Masters Book

[iniuan]

I can not seem to figure out or find the recipe to make smithing molds from the book i got from doing the masters quest for don cultural armor. In the book it only gives the recipe for getting tailoring patterns. Am i only able to do tailoring and if so what do i need to do to be able to do to get the smithing molds for erudian cultural smithing.

G'day,

The "patterns" from the symbol books... which I assume is what you mean since there are no "master" quests for the armour... can be used in smithing. In general everyone has to combine the same three things... as an example, see here.....

So, combine your expert's water, a shissar scale, and your pattern in the forge to get the symbol you desire.

Take care,
Tendiin

Hes asking about the molds for armor.. Not the symbols..Symbols are the augs to add to the armor.
And I think if you read the book it does mention smithing... I did it and first tiem I got the tailoring patterns, but after re-readng the book I did see the reference to the molds, can't remember what I did to make them instead of the patterns though.. Sorry.

From the DoN cultural overview

Make molds or patterns with the ancestral book: Once you have obtained your copy of your race's ancestral book, you can make the molds and patterns for your race's cultural armor. Before doing this you will need to have one general inventory slot open, as the recipe will generate a bag of materials. That's a main inventory slot, NOT a slot within a container. When you're ready, find a vendor with the right materials. Each city should have one. If you want molds for smithing plate or chain, combine the book with a huge block of clay, a compacted backpack, sculpting tools, and a high quality firing sheet in a kiln. This combine cannot be failed. You will get back your sculpting tools plus a bag containing eight stacks of patterns: one each for boots, chestplates, gloves, helms, leggings, sleeves, and two for wristguards. If you want patterns for tailoring leather or silk, you will need two main inventory slots open, but one will be open again afterward. Combine the book with a compacted backpack, large bottle of ink, quill, and roll of plain parchment in a book binding. You will get a backpack just like that for smithing, with stacks of patterns for making the same types of armors. When done, you can toss the book binding to get one inventory slot back, if you wish.

The Master quest is for the Augments (Symbols)and is not for making any of the armor.

Armor molds are created with the Ancestral Erudite Armor Book.
Example: Mold For Erudian Leggings

Actually, I'm not sure he knows exactally what each makes, which is why, if he wants to make something with a *task quested* master's book... he cannot make molds.

This is why he cannot find the mold receipe in the book. The molds are made with the first (non-task) quest and the instructions are in *that* book...
