Magnetic Smithing?

[Cerpicio]

Where do these damaged armor pieces drop? I've been hunting in Dranik's Scar killing Dragorns and haven't seen any yet.


Thanks,

Ack, ok, finally got some. After killing 20-30 dragorn, not to mention all the other stuff in the area.

Best place to get them is in Muramite Proving Grounds, off of the lightning men mobs (forgot the name). It's a tough area though, all mobs above level 68 (couldn't mez), hits for about 1200 maximum.

Aye picked up a Dented Magnetized Helm tonight in The Proving Ground. Saw the tradeskill tag so wondering what it made.

Grrrr

I've been killing dragorns like mad trying to get more of this stuff. I got one piece considerably earlier today... 3-4th kill. I've been killing pretty much exclusively these guys since then and have gotten nothing. I'm talking 80-100 of these guys dead, and nothing. It's either extremely rare from them or I've just had crazy bad luck.

Oh, and was wondering....

I noted in the book "repairing and salvaging armor" (which can be bought from the dwarf vendor that sells small plate molds in the smithing building in PoK) that it mentions once you make a piece of this armor and combine the complete bit with a "core of lightning" (I think he's refering to the mob mentioned earlier as a good place to find this stuff) then it charges the armor. Has anyone tried this yet? I'd like to see the resulting armor considering how nice the normal stuff is.

tried combining a core and the magnetized helm.. DNC
tried combining a core, the magnetized helm, and smithy hammer.. DNC

Try a Flask of Water by chance?

Copper Sheet? Copper is a really good conductor.

If you hit the recipes page for Omens smithing, you'll find recipes/stats for a few pieces of the armor so far, and possibly sort out a pattern. (Some use copper sheets, some don't, some need magnetized patch plates as well.

And yes, seems that the core mention is more a mention of which mobs drop the stuff.

I the armor from my experience is a rare drop in Dranik's Scar

If you hit the recipes page for Omens smithing, you'll find recipes/stats for a few pieces of the armor so far, and possibly sort out a pattern. (Some use copper sheets, some don't, some need magnetized patch plates as well.

Of the recipes posted, all use copper sheets.

From what I can tell, it looks like an elaboration on the traditional "1, 2, 3" sheet system:
1x copper sheet requires bolts
2x copper sheet requires bolts, patch plate
3x copper sheet requires bolts, patch plate

Essentially, if you have more than 1 copper sheet, you also need a patch plate.

The number of copper sheets seems to be roughly equivalent to the norm:
1 Sheet: Collar, Bracer, also Belt (normally 2)
2 Sheet: Pauldrons, Helm
3 Sheet: Breastplate, Leggings

[Dunthor Warsmith]

My theory has been proven quite wrong by additional recient recipe posts.

It also appears that the Lightning Cores are needed in multiples... The Belt only required 1, but the Helm required 3 and the Greaves required 4.

Some very, very nice stuff, too. Almost Elemental quality, but lacking in effects.

Anybody find it odd that the Shoulder and Neck pieces are 'worn magnetic' for classes War, Mnk, Rog, Ber (melee) while the rest are 'magnetic' and for classes War, Pal, Shd, Clr, Brd (plate)?
