Cromwell forged items.

[Cecil]

Since I've found this place, I couldn't tell you how much time I've spent using the 'search' function and reading through old posts. I've found a -lot- of things out that I never had a clue of playing through the game. One that recently struck me was this:

And I don't feel this would persay be a spoiler, but -if- you don't want to know what all items Cromwell is capable of forging, please don't read any further..

Ok, I found in an old thread where you could use the Ilithium Ore to be combined with the Mace of Disruption to upgrade the mace. WOW! Very nice item, makes me upset that I gave the ore to the artist now. I had in my head it would be a disgrace to the Temple if I tried to ruse them with fake ore. Damn morals.

Anyways, that got me to wondering what other items I may have missed.

I did a search on this topic, and didn't find anything on it. Most of the threads I was able to dig up on Cromwell were asking for his location, etc etc.

So for those in the know, could you please shed a little insight on this Cavalier?

The items I know of are:

- Red Dragon Scale Armor

- the Equalizer

- Shadow Dragon Scale Armor

- Crom Faeyr (haven't aquired this myself, only piece I have is the note, but Cromwell alerted me to it)

- Vorpal Blade/Silver Sword

- Gesen Bow

- the upgraded Mace of Disruption (again, I don't have this personally, but stumbled over it using the search function while trying to get pointers on defeating Kangaxx the Demi Lich - and would REALLY like to have had it)

So then, what all goodies am I missing out on? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks,
Cecil

There's a halberd called the Wave which you can put together as well. I won't spoil the locations since you haven't asked, save to say that if you a) follow through on Haer'Dalis's quest and b) make sure you headhunt a certain rebel prince under the sea you should find what you need.

There's also the Silver Horn of Valhalla which you can upgrade using a beljuril and a diamond. Cromwell doesn't do this for you - a merchant in Waukeen's Promenade does (I forget his name, but he's just south of where the ore merchant is).

WOW... I didn't know that...

So you can get away with giving him the fake ore? I never tried... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dang... an upgraded mace.... I WANT ONE!

There's a 50/50 chance of getting away with it.

I'll tell you, when I looked at the Ore by right-clicking it, I think that messed up the quest and right away Sir Sarles could tell it's fake.

So don't right-click on the Ore, and make sure to save a different game for that specifically.

Sir Sarles always sees through your deception.
Then however you return to the temple and they accept the alloy.
It is worth less xps but you do keep the real illithium.

the name of the merchant in Waukeen's Promenade that makes the Horns of Valhalla is Maheer. He is listed on the map as "Weaponsmith."

You can also make our Dwarven smith make Ankheg Plate Mail. All you have to do to get this, is to travel to eg Windspear Hills, find an Ankheg (big green things coming up from the earth), kill it, and take it's heads. Take the head to Cromwell, and he can make you a not-so-bad platemail from it.

[Cecil]

Ahhh, neato.. didn't know that about the Horn, thanks much! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I wonder what on earth possessed the first adventurers to come to think of Ankheg as an armor medium.

"You know, Robert, about that giant insect head..."

"Yea?"

"Now don't think I'm crazy here... but I was thinking about scooping that baby out, throwing some leather straps around it, and wearing that sucker around town!"

"You know... I was thinking exact same thing."

ROFL! Well said, Cecil! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

You also can go to the red house above the Five Flagon Inn in the Bridge District to get an Ankheg Shell without having to kill one.
