Any info on Deathsteel smithing?

[Dinadaan DeDenaan]

From ore found in Nurga (and I suppose also Droga). I think its called Deathsteel. Havent actually begun smithing yet, so wont be trying it for awhile myself.

It is indeed found in Droga. Three hours there got me about a stack and a half of Deathsteel, as well as Grinning Goblin Brew and Mt Death Mineral salts in about equal ratios. Each weapon combine uses a total of two of each ingredient, so after three hours we had 12 combines worth of material and leftovers on both ore and salt.
Can't attest as to the actual combines, as I'm waiting to get a bit further through Ornate Chain to try it. (I want to max gold two ring stuff first.)

The weapons are pretty crappy, but it's a very cheap way to skillup to 158 from banded. I used it to suplement skillups when I was doing ornate chain. Normally I'd take a friend's twink down to droga and PL them at the shroud of nature or idol camp while collecting materials. I find quite a bit of ore and goblin brew on vendors, but I almost never see the salts.

People tend to use the salts for faction turn-ins to get Chardok faction up for spirit wracked cords.

So the trivial ranges are about mid to high 100s?

So the trivial ranges are about mid to high 100s?

Only a couple trivials have been fully nailed down for them at 121, the others, all we know is that the ranges are "somewhere" in the low to mid 100s, but much more narrowing needs to be done.

You can find recipes, and what trivial information we have on them at http://www.eqtraders.com/secrets/smithing_weapons.htm

I have a lot of deathsteel ore on morel thule if anyone wants
it. I got a lot of it merchant mining thinking i could get the temper
ingredients myself, but no such luck i am way to low of a level and its taking up a lot of space in the bank

just send neipa a tell and if I am on i'll give it to you

Maybe I'll give this stuff a little work, my main can use the faction and I have to get his smithing up to 168 since I'd rather use him to farm the shrieking/wailing substances for the Shadowscream skillups.

Personally, I think going this route is a waste, financially speaking. You can sell the salts in the baz for probably 25pp each or more. There are a lot of level 60s with a ton of money to spend who would prefer to buy salts instead of farming greenies for Chardok faction.

What is the cost of an ornate chain combine? I bet it's less than 25pp.

All just my opinion, however.

If you do decide you want to skillup this way, take your high level characters in and AE the place. If you do it enough, you'll also get non-KOS in Chardok. Remember to also save the green goblin skins for faction (or sell 'em for that 25+ pp each).
