Guilds who have achieved the pinnacle of service to Freeport or Qeynos may attempt to forge the mysterious Wyrmsteel weapons on the famed forge of the fire giants deep within Solusek.

Classified Recipes of the Coalition

Upon reaching Freeport Guild Level 30 a new recipe book named "Classified Recipes of the Coalition" is available to purchase from the Coalition of Tradefolk vendor in West Freeport for 120 gold and 20,000 status points. The same book is offered in Qeynos from the Ironforge Exchange.

The "Classified Recipes of the Coalition" is a weaponsmith book that contains instructions for creating 6 weapons and 6 different wands. It requires 200 skill (Level 40) to scribe.

Forging

Only one forge in Norrath can produce Wyrmsteel. Bars, weapons, and wands must all be produced on the Infernal Forge of Ages within Solusek's Eye. This instance is limited to 3 groups (perhaps 4). Adventurers must protect the blacksmith, both escorting him or her past fire giants and then holding back a two hour long attack from groups of level 50-51 monsters at the forge (the waves stop after about two hours).

One "Strange Black Ore", a rare (uncommon?) harvest from the highest level zones, refines into two Wyrmsteel bars. These bars are then combined with fulganate, strengthened leather or diamondine sub-components to produce the weapons.

Strange Black Ore is very delicate and anything but the pristine versions of the weapons and bars produce 'deformed strange black ore', which must be refined again into the Wyrmsteel bars from the beginning again.

Initial Attempts

Took a trip down today, met with more bugs, suprise suprise!

Managed to get Fizbones, a level 26 necromancer, all the way down to the Infernal Forge instance to give this a run. This instance doesn't appear to have any type of limit on how many you can zone in. We figured it was 2 groups, based on the spawns, but it allowed 14 to zone in. Forged Souls on Permafrost I believe was able to zone an entire raid in. Bug?

The spawns are level 50 and 51, usually a group of 1 ^^, 1 ^ and 1 normal. They come every 40 seconds or so (much too fast for a single group). They also apparently don't ever stop coming - 37 minutes later, it was still going when we decided it wasn't a ring event we had to beat to unlock anything, it was just endless spawns. Pathing is pretty bad, mobs kept running away under the world, into lava, you name it. Other than that it wasn't very difficult.

The forge itself fails to recognize Strange Black Ore.. thus, we were unable to craft anything. It also has a 2 day lockout for simply touching the forge.

Honestly I am wondering how good these weapons can be, lets list what is required here:

  1. Guild Level 30 - months and months of work, still only 3 guilds in the entire game have gotten there thus far.
  2. A level 40 weaponsmith - not exactly hard, if you know its required. We, and the other guilds to 30 1st, however, did not, and were forced to level one up
  3. Strange Black Ore - T5 rare
  4. Assembling a raid of 12 and travel to Instance in Solusek's Eye, non trivial especially if you are taking a low level crafter
  5. Preparing subcombines for as many things as you need and crafting while waves of mobs spawn and try to stop you
  6. 2 days of lockout between each weapon making session

Considering the effort involved, these weapons should be amazing, and you know they will not be. I will be suprised if they are as good as ebon. Who should I contact to get a straight answer on this stuff? They take the time to make the recipe book purchaseable, finally, after about 3 weeks, then /gasp its still broken anyways. Why even worry about the book, if things are still not ready?

"The Wyrmsteel Bar recipe will once again use its primary component correctly."
Patch notes April 22nd.
The Level 30 guild weapons have been crafted at last by Forged Souls on Permafrost and my guild Bane of Blackburrow. Although the defenders of the Infernal Forge of Ages tried their hardest to prevent us from crafting the Wyrmsteel out of the Strange Black Ore, we prevailed to make them.

The true hero of the hour - Fizbones our intrepid weaponsmith! Believe me - it took guts for him to run down to the heart of Solusek's Eye at adventurer level 26!
