Combine smith hammer

[Curufea]

Well... I recently got luclin and now am trying to get back to my little smithing hobby.
I have been able to get my hand on every thing needed to make myself some acrylia armor, but the hammer.

Listed on the main site it says it can be bought in Katta... the problem is :
I'm KoS in Katta. How do I get one ?

I've heared some months ago that this hammer is no drop, is this really the case ? (haven't been able to find any info on the stats of that hammer (not even on allakhazam) to confirm or infirm this)
If so... how could I raise my faction with Katta ? I've only heared of Sanctu Seru but... I'm a 41 sk. And any idea on how long will it take ?

Don't know if it's no drop, but appears to only be in Katta(I thought I heard something about it also being in SH recently, but can't find my source or verify this at the moment). The only options I could think of if I were you, would be to kill Coterie in TM to raise Katta Faction(at 41 as an SK you should be able to partner with a healer and take them, it would be hard as they would be white/blue to you but doable), or just make a goody-goody, and send them there to buy stuff. I have made the trip from SH with a level 4 chanter with No SoW. It isn't difficult at all with invis, and with SoW or better, becomes extremely trivial.

Honestly, it would be much easier/faster to just make a goody goody and send them.

No Drop?

Nope. I can verify this as I recently made the run to Katta to get one for my wife Iceblossom hehehehe.

it's not no drop (always had mine bought, not being able to buy them myself in Katta)

beware, I dont know whether the bug has been fixed or not, but some months ago, if you used your combine hammer to make anything but acrylia jointing or the final acrylia combine, your hammer turned to a regular smithy hammer!

make acrylia sheets using a regular hammer, not the combine one.

again, this may have been fixed.

It's fixed.

You need to use the Combine Hammer on any acrylia combines.

Thanks a lot

Now I just have to find a second windstone to do my first combine.... at least the essence of wind I find in quantity are good sellers =)
