Item:Dragontouched Armor

Dragontouched Armor, originally introduced in Module 8 is a new form of Crafting based on Runes found in the Reaver's Refuge quests and adventure areas.

Flagging for Stealer of Souls

 * Talk to NPC Aurben, in the Marketplace next to Cydonie, get the quest Refuge in the Storm. You have to be at least level 13 to do this.
 * Then go to NPC Captain Agamon at the top of the Spire, he gets you to Siber Atroll. Jump down from the Airship, swim down into the water and enter the crevice to enter the Reaver's Refuge town area.
 * Find Reaver in his refuge and complete the Refuge in the Storm quest. He tells you that Sor'jek (formerly known as Tempest's Spine boss and Reaver's lieutenant) became a lich and must be defeated. Reaver gives you a fly buff to let you check around, find Ternathear's Inner Lair in the east upper area of the town.


 * Thear gives you a quest, The Essence of a Dragon, and asks you to collect gems found in the Exploration Zones. The gems drop out of rare encounter treasure chests in these zones. Once you get all six gems and turn them in, you never need to repeat this process.
 * Aussiredar's Gem (white) - Aussircaex's Valley
 * Iskaryte's Gem (blue) - Mount Reysalon
 * Ormaekrix's Gem (blue) - Soami Gardens
 * Sventusk's Gem (white) - Ruins of Gianthold
 * Thadargix's Gem (black) - Sands of Menechtarun
 * Vuthesjing's Gem (black) - Orchard of the Macabre


 * Obtain Dragonshard Essences from Enter the Kobold, Prey on the Hunter and Monastery of the Scorpion. Turn them in to Toriavic, a NPC next to Thear. A complete set of Essences is required for each time you run the quest (reflagging).
 * Eberron Dragonshard Essence (white) - Prey on the Hunter
 * Khyber Dragonshard Essence (black) - Enter the Kobold
 * Siberys Dragonshard Essence (yellow) - Monastery of the Scorpion

Crafting Steps

 * Step 1. You must have completed Stealer of Souls to spend Draconic Runes.


 * Step 2. You need 50 Draconic Runes to buy Dragontouched Armor.
 * Where to get Draconic Runes:
 * 1-3 from named chests in Aussircaex's Valley, Soami Gardens, Mount Reysalon, Eerie Forest.
 * 50 for your end reward upon completion of Stealer of Souls.


 * Step 3. Then talk to Vorace, he's across from the Stormreaver that gives you fly (across the bridge, next to mailbox).
 * Draconic Runes needed for trade:
 * 50 = 1 Dragontouched armor.
 * 50 = 1 Eldritch Rune.
 * 50 = 1 of any Essence (Eberron, Khyber or Siberys).
 * You can no longer trade for Tempest or Sovereign Runes. However, using the altars, you can grind 3 Eldritch into 1 Tempest and 3 Tempest into 1 Sovereign.


 * Step 4. Once you get these runes, go the the place where Vorace is and there will be 3 altars: Eldritch, Tempest and Sovereign. Place your Dragontouched armor and a Rune in the proper altar and select "Forge".
 * Where to Get Upgrade Runes:
 * 1 from Enter the Kobold (Eldritch Runes).
 * 1-2 from Monastery of the Scorpion (Eldritch Runes).
 * 1 from Prey on the Hunter (Tempest Runes).
 * 1 Stealer of Souls (Sovereign Rune)
