This page always contains the current project I am working through, it was originally a sub section within my Sandbox page but that was getting cluttered with longer articles, so a specific area for current projects was required.

Green Steel: Introduction
In January 2008 the release of Module 6: The Thirteenth Eclipse brought with it Green Steel crafting, with which you can create weapons or accessorys; to craft one of these you will first need to collect all 5 of the Shavarath Signet Stones. Each stone is found by completing & looting the end chest of each of the [[The Vale of Twilight quests; here is where each stone drops:

 * Shavarath Stone of Might: Ritual_Sacrifice
 * Shavarath Stone of battle: Running_with_the_Devils
 * Shavarath Stone of Strategy: Let_Sleeping_Dust_Lie
 * Shavarath Stone of Victory: The_Coalescence_Chamber
 * Shavarath Stone of Foresight: Rainbow_in_the_Dark

When you have aquired all 5 of these stones take them to the Eldritch Device (located with the gate under the tower in Meridia. Place all 5 stones in the eldritch device and a Shavarath Signet Stone is created - you now have your base item required to create the weapons & accessorys.

 * These items will bind to your character once equipped or "upgraded" with the tiered bonuses - only the unequipped, "raw" items may be traded to other characters/players or sold through the auction house.


 * Green Steel weapons are considered Evil for means of bypassing damage reduction.


 * Only one Green Steel accessory may be equipped at a time without penalty prior to being cleansed by a Essence of Cleansing acquired on the 20th completion of the Shroud. Weapons are not bound by this rule and can be wielded freely.


 * Using an Essence of Cleansing on a Green Steel blank item will immediately binds the blank to that character.


 * Green Steel Accessories have a minimum level of 11 to be equipped; Green Steel Weapons have a minimum level of 12. As such, they are quite useful to those who undergo a True Reincarnation on their character.


 * Green Steel handwraps do not exist. See the Handwraps article for more, as well as Incredible Potential rings.


 * Some of the Manufactured Ingredients to create a Green Steel Blank have multiple recipes: Use whichever you have enough raw ingredients for.


 * Green Steel can only be upgraded while the player is not on timer for the Shroud (aside from creating Green Steel blanks (and, if the player has access to the Devils of Shavarath adventure pack, the Altar of Subjugation) since all the upgrading altars are within the raid instance. Another exception is when a guild has a high enough level to acquire altars on their Guild Airship. This requires you to be a guild member or be invited by a guild member to their airship.


 * If you make a mistake while upgrading your Green Steel Item, you will NOT be able to fix it. Be very careful when planning what effects you want to add to your item, and make sure you are adding the correct effect at each Altar. If you do make a mistake while creating a Green Steel Item, you can use Yellow Dopant to deconstruct said Green Steel Item at the Invasion, Subjugation, and Devastation altars since U14. Keep in mind that deconstruction will only return roughly half of the Ingredients required to make an item of the same tier.

Notes:
 * Since U14 some Exceptional bonuses have changed to Insight bonuses. The Green Steel Altars will now apply Insight bonuses however, the Shard descriptions on screen may still show them as Exceptional bonuses (bug).  Insight bonuses do not stack.  Previously crafted Green Steel items do not appear to have changed.
 * Update 19 changed the Exceptional bonuses to skills. The bonuses have been doubled however they no longer stack.

See following for the list of items;
 * Green Steel weapons (base damage comparison)
 * Green Steel equipment
