== Quest Overview ==
Give fused Crystal and Shadow fragments to the [[Master Armorers]] and they will build you a suit of powerful Shadow Hunter Armor.


=== Shadow Armor (non-level restricted with lower base armor level) ===
== Walk Through ==
<font color=green>'''Optional:'''</font> Purchase the text [[Aliester's Corollary]] from various [[:Special:Whatlinkshere/Aliester's Corollary|shopkeepers]] for more information on gemstone armor.


'''NOTE:''' [[Shadow Armor]] can <b>not</b> be made into [[Sharded Shadow Armor Quest|Sharded Shadow Armor]] or [[Prismatic Shadow Armor Quest|Prismatic Shadow Armor]] (Use [[Greater Shadow Armor]] for Sharded or Prismatic Armor)
=== Shadow Fragments ===
The black fragments can be retrieved from Shadow creatures around most parts of Dereth. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the Shadow the bigger the fragment they drop, which in turn allows you to complete your gems quicker than combining parts taken from the lower level Shadows.


Bring your [[Sparkling Gem]]s to the appropriate NPC to receive [[Shadow Armor]]. You must have 2 [[Sparkling Gem]]s for complete armor in any given set.
* [[Dark Speck]]s are dropped by [[Small Shadow Child|Small Shadow Children]] and [[Shadow Child|Shadow Children]].

=== Scintillating Gem ===
Once you have your complete crystal and shadow fragments, combine the two types into a [[Sparkling Gem]] and then fuse the two Sparkling Gems together to form a [[Scintillating Gem]]. You will need two Scintillating Gems to receive a full suit of armor from a smith, the first gem you hand in will get you the leggings (including a girth if Celdon) and the second gem will get you the remaining upper parts.

== Shadow Suits ==
During the [[To Raise a Banner of Flame]] event, the Master Armor Smiths were murdered by [[Hamud ibn Rafik]] and unable to create armor at its original strength. The post-patch suits resemble the old gold style and can be improved with [[Major Atlan Stones]] like before, but they have reduced armor level.


=== Shadow Fragments/Shards ===
=== Shadow Suits (Neo) ===
During the [[Fever Dreams]] event, the Armor Smiths returned to their original health and were able to produce Shadow Armor at its former strength. The new suits are silver in color, have a wield requirement of level 30 and cannot be improved with Atlan Stones. However, the armor level has been returned to the original pre-patch values prior to the [[To Raise a Banner of Flame]] event and can now be dyed with dye pots and improved with [[Sharded Shadow Armor Quest|Armor Shards]] for major protection cantrips.

Optional: Purchase the text Aliester's Corollary from various shopkeepers for more information on gemstone armor.

Shadow Fragments

The black fragments can be retrieved from Shadow creatures around most parts of Dereth. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the Shadow the bigger the fragment they drop, which in turn allows you to complete your gems quicker than combining parts taken from the lower level Shadows.

The new suits are silver in color, have a wield requirement of level 30 and cannot be improved with Atlan Stones. However, the armor level has been returned to the original pre-patch values prior to the To Raise a Banner of Flame event and can now be dyed with dye pots and improved with Armor Shards for major protection cantrips.
