Lore & Dialog

After Hamud ibn Rafik struck during "To Raise a Banner of Flame"

Koga Hideki tells you, "Please do not ask me to speak of the night when the darkness assaulted me."

Koga Hideki tells you, "My ordeal has weakened me so much that the armor I craft is of lesser quality. But, I hope to improve my armor craft to how it once was."

Jibril ibn Rashid tells you, "In one night I was slain a dozen times...I am now so weak I am unable to craft armor as strong as I once made..."

Jibril ibn Rashid tells you, "But I will keep working...And if you continue to hunt shadows and crystal beasts, I will continue to improve my smithing skills."

---

During the Taste of Twilight event

Alean the Steel Forger tells you, "Regrettably, I still have not recovered from the shadows' attacks. But Aliester the Loquacious has found out a way to improve my armor with elemental stones. I will continue to make armor from the fused gems. Hopefully using Aliester's findings you will be able to improve the armor."

---

Speaking with the Master Armorers

Jibril ibn Rashid tells you, "Nuhmudira has finally restored us to full health! She has also stocked us with some extra supplies that we needed, such that we can provide you with either a version of the original Shadow Armor, or its successor. If you wish to trade one version of your Amuli set for another, simply hand it to me. Please take out all Atlan stones from your armor before handing it to me."

Jibril ibn Rashid tells you, "Also, if you wish to color your new Greater Shadow Armor, you may buy a vat of color from my assistant. If you do not like the color, please give me the armor piece and I will replace it with the standard piece, which you may then choose to recolor."

---

Iian di Alduressa tells you, "With the aid of the other Master Armorers, I have managed to master the basics of crafting Alduressa versions of the Shadow Armors. I've crafted both the versions that may be set with the "Atlan Stones", and the more resilient, non-elemental versions. If you wish to trade one version of your Alduressa armor set for another, simply hand it to me. Please take out all Atlan stones from your armor before handing it to me."

Iian di Alduressa tells you, "Also, I have heard that the other Master Armorers have apprentices who sell paints for recoloring the Greater Shadow Armors. Those paints will also work upon the Greater Shadow Alduressa that I create. If you do not like the color, please give me the armor piece and I will restore the piece to its original colors, which you may then choose to recolor as you like."
