General Information

Darkforge Armor is a mid-level Shadow Knight-specific armor set obtained through quests offered by the undead knights in the Temple of Solusek Ro. It could not originally be used by Iksar, but this racial restriction has been removed.

Each piece requires two corresponding pieces of Decayed Armor and one additional turn-in item. Decayed Armor drops from A Lizard Crusader and A Lizard Ritualist in the Temple of Cazic-Thule.

In EQL, A Lizard Ritualist is always up on top of the small temple in the southeastern corner of Cazic Thule and always drops one piece of Decayed Armor. Lizard Crusaders spawn at multiple locations throughout the zone but have PHs and can also drop Decayed Armor.

The ritualist can be reached using invisibility to pass the other lizards. Kill the ritualist and any nearby adds, switch difficulties, and repeat.

The turn-ins for the Helm, Breastplate, Bracers and Vambraces can also be done with the undead knight in Mistmoore Castle.
