Green Steel quick guide

How to create Green Steel Blanks
First off, you need access to the Vale of Twilight adventure pack (meaning you have directly purchased it within the DDO Store, or are actively a VIP)

To make a Green Steel Blank weapon (ML:12) or accessory (ML:11) you need to do the 5 prerequisite quests to enter the Shroud.

They are:
 * '''Let Sleeping Dust Lie
 * '''Rainbow in the Dark
 * '''Ritual Sacrifice
 * '''Running with the Devils
 * '''The Coalescence Chamber

From each of the above mentioned quests the player receives both Shavarath Stone of _______ and often a random Raw Ingredient for greensteel crafting. Some of these Raw Ingredients can also be found by looting chests from rare encounters in the Vale of Twilight.

40 favor towards The Twelve is needed in order to access the first altar (the Altar of Fecundity) where the Green Steel blank is created. The player will receive an in-game Mail from the Twelve to lead to the next part of the chain. Once the player has completed their first tutorial on how to use the Altar, they will then be able to craft the manufactured ingredients they will need to craft a Green Steel blank.

To create a Shavarath Signet Stone (which is required by all Green Steel blanks) combine the five differently colored Shavarath Stones within the Altar of Fecundity.

Signet stone, in hand, the player can now decide which Green Steel item they would first like to make: an accessory item, or a Weapon. they can then figure out how many of each Raw Ingredient, that come from the Vale questing and rare killing, they will need.

It is common that a player will not initially have enough Raw Ingredients to create their first Green Steel blank the first time they have access to the Altar.

Upgrading Green Steel Blanks
To upgrade a Green Steel blank to something more useful than a time consuming paper-weight, the player must run the following raid:


 * '''The Thirteenth Eclipse - aka The Shroud

Upgrading a Green Steel item functions in the same way as creating the blank. Raw ingredients are gathered from the chests within the Shroud and are combined at the appropriate Altars within the Shroud. The Green Steel item is upgraded by imbued shards of power that are created by manufacturing raw ingredients from the proper tier. The general formula for Green Steel is as follows:

At the appropriate Altar:


 * Gather enough raw materials from chests &rarr; A Manufactured Ingredient
 * Gather enough Manufactured Ingredients + proper power source + proper Shard of Power &rarr; An Imbued Shard
 * Imbued shard + Green Steel item + proper power source &rarr; Upgraded Green Steel
