Seru bane quest writeup (missing a few bits of info)

[Spiritseeker]

I've had a search around on the quests site under SoL quests, and saw no listing for Seru Banes. I am assuming this would be the place to look - Zek banes are listed as a quest under PoP.
I tried looking in the brewing (tempers/curing agents) section, where it says that combine acrylia temper is used for Black acrylia weapons, and links you to their recipes, the same goes for other tempers and links to their respective weapon recipes. The quiksilver temper also says it's used for Seru bane, but there is no link.
I searched around all of the forums, and yes, there are several posts on how to make seru bane weapons, but it's all very much scattered....and if I were not a tradeskill junky and knew how to use the site/were not able to make an educated guess at what components would be needed, I might be a bit baffled :b

So, am I totally blonde and just missed the link, or has it not been added anywhere?

[Niami DenMother]

Every time I think about putting it on the site, I can't quickly find the information that I need. Every time I find the information that I need, I don't have the time to spare to make a writeup for it ... soooo, it's not on the site.

One of these days I'll either make a writeup for it, or find one of the many that are around, and get it onto the site ... really!

I can consolidate the posts and do a write up for you if you like, Niami. Will rename the thread 'seru bane quest write up' or something so you can find it easier.

Seru Bane is needed to be able to damage Lord Inquisitor Seru through normal melee. Procs on non bane weapons will land on him, but to keep up a continuous run of ‘normal’ melee damage, you need a Seru weapon with Bane DMG: Seru +# to be able to hit him.

Lord Inquisitor Seru is located in Sanctus Seru, and all of the items needed to make Seru Bane weapons are located in various zones of the SoL expansion. You will be traveling around and camping various things to make these weapons, so do not expect it to be as simple as making things such as normal forged weapons.

The original text for making the Seru Bane weapons:

Book 1:
Day 1
---------
Today is a great day, so I shall begin this journal. The High Inquisitor has called for my skilled hand to create for him a set of armor, which cannot be pierced by any weapon. This is to be my last chance to be in good grace with Lord Seru, though I have denounced Katta I assume they can still sense that I miss my family. Regardless, I shall begin working with the materials that were supplied to me in the morning.

Day 2
---------
Creation is going steady; the ore is melting to my expectations. This metal, which I have named Yttrium, should not be able to be pierced. I have sent for items to help tint the armor as Lord Seru requests.

Day 10
-----------
With the greaves complete I begin working on the Breastplate soon. I have discovered how to make perfect Yttrium Sheets so production should go faster. Mixing two bricks of Yttruim ore, with one Vial of Quicksilver Temper creates the perfect sheet. The Quicksilver Temper is a harder mixture though, I must request ingredients be brought to me often, they seem to be hard to come by. For the perfect hue I have been brewing one part Fungoid Sap, one part Meteor Dust, one part Shissar Blood, and one part Shiknar Ichor. I do not know where the Consillium of the Hand is acquiring these ingredients, nor do I care, as long as I can present Lord Seru with a fine set of armor.

Day 18
----------
I have finished Lord Seru's Breastplate and just returned from presenting the Praesertum with it. They shall take it to him soon, so I should get word in a week. I shall wait to see if this is enough to please Lord Seru. I shall begin work on weapons that can match the armor, in the case that it doesn't.


Book 2:
Day 22
----------
Success! I have created an entire arsenal that should be able to strike through his armor. I had the most success using the following: A Pommel Mold, Hilt Mold, one Vial of Quicksilver Temper, one Yttrium Steel Sheet, and either a Dagger, Short, Curved, or Long Blade mold created a fine blade. An Oak Shaft, one Vial of Quicksilver Temper, one Yttrium Steel Sheet, and either a Mace, Hammer, or Axe Head Mold created heavier, powerful weapons. For a powerful set of gloves, I used two High Quality Rockhopper Pelts, one Vial of Quicksilver Temper, and one Yttrium Steel Sheet. A bow made with an Oak Bow Staff, a Silk String, a Planing Tool, one Yttrium Sheet Metal, and one Vial of Quicksilver Temper imbues any arrow shot from it with the same properties. Should I be banished, I will create these weapons for Recuso to destroy Seru.

Day 25
-----------
The inevitable has happened. My time for the question has arisen, even though too soon. I failed because of my longing for my family Katta. I know their ways are wrong but I of course still love them. I write into this log from a land of destitution, I have been named a Recuso.

Day 49
----------
A few days ago in search of shelter from the rain I stumbled inside this place. What is this place... my nightmares become reality. I feel as though I am being watched with every step. I can not remember the way out, I can not remember... anything.

Quicksilver Temper is brewed and trivial below 180. The Yttrium Steel Sheet has a high trivial somewhere above 250. Both of these items are droppable. The final combines' trivial levels are in the mid to upper 100s. The final weapons are no drop, so you have to produce them yourself.

Combines in brief:
A VIAL OF QUICKSILVER TEMPER: shissar blood + shiknar ichor + fungoid sap + meteor dust
YTTRIUM SHEET METAL: 2 small blocks of yttrium ore + quicksilver temper

Shissar blood can be found on the snake-type shissar mobs in Luclin, mainly in Ssra. temple, and also available in the grey.
Fungoid sap is only dropped off An Ancient Shrieker, which resides in the Deep. There are a couple of camps of them on the far side of the invisible bridge. They are not KoS and do not assist each other. Drop rate is said to be uncommon-rare.
Meteor dust is found mainly in the Grey, from Shattered golems, shissar style mobs, and rarely from the skeleton version of the sun revenants.
Shiknar ichor is found on the Shik’nar bug type mobs in Fungus grove. Any form of Shik’nar insect can drop it.

[Nandiar]

Very nice write up i would include trivals for the sheets and for the temper, would also be nice to include failure rates at 250 skill for both the temper and sheets

[EQRipclaw]

Is there a recomended or required level for these?

[Taraddar]

Alla's has the quicksilver as triv = 228. From what I can recall they where definitely triv at 250 and very good success rate. The sheets on the other hand where not trivial at 250 and had a very poor success rate, ended up going 2 in 6 combines of the sheets.

Fungoid sap

It should be added that Fungoid sap is Extremely rare. Ok maybe I dont farm as fast as other people but I was there for the better part of a day without a single drop, unluck? sure I supose. I talked with someone who farms them regularly and said after 2 solid days she managed to aquire 10. Sounds like windstone drop rate to me or worse.

[Bootts]

Disregard, I completely missed that part.

[Niami DenMother]

Thanks for putting this together!

I finally managed to squeeze a couple minutes in to get this on the site and into the database as a quests article. (Eventually we'll have it come up in a normal recipe search as well, but a lot of the more exotic quest stuff isn't in there ... yet.)

[KyrosKrane]

Note that the damage bonus on the weapons (listed with the item stats above) will vary based on your level. I think it's consistent across classes, but I'm not positive.

[kiztent]

Note that the damage bonus on the weapons (listed with the item stats above) will vary based on your level. I think it's consistent across classes, but I'm not positive.

All classes that get a damage bonus will get the same damage bonus at the same level.

Trivial > 232

The trivial on the Yttrium-Imbued Oak Bow is > 232.

I failed on this combine at 213 skill this past weekend, and did NOT get the trivial message "You can no longer advance your skills..." I skilled up to 232 and tried again. Success this time, but still no trivial message.

Every site I checked listed the trivial listed at 175. So I don't know if this changed recently, or if the above posted trivial was never verified, but it is definitely not trivial at 232.

Noted the contradiction.

Fungoid Sap farming

A friend of mine has been doing a lot of Fungoid Sap farming for his guild for awhile.

Previous to the patch that revamped The Deep, he was getting on average one Fungoid Sap per hour by killing all the ancient shriekers.

After the patch, the ancient shriekers now only drop one Fungoid Sap every two hours.
