The Weapons of Atlan

 UPDATED on 23 June, 2003 with Heart of Woe Patch changes.

 Ok, this is the quest for motes.  You need to kill TONS of golems, as you need a total of 16 motes to make an atlan weapon, and golems drop a mote about 1 in 20 to 1 in 50 or so.

Step 0: Preparation

  To get the Atlan weapon you will need:

• 16 Motes

• An Alchemist buddy with somewhere around 250 Alchemy skill

• A Mage to buff you to a 275+ skill in your chosen weapon.

Step 1: Getting the motes

  The following locations are known golem dungeons, and are good for getting motes:

• Golem Burial Grounds (50.9S  67.3E)

• Hall of Metos #1 (56S  89.2W)

• Hall of Metos #2 (61.3S  46.7W)

• Hall of Metos #3 (4.4S  0.6W)

• Mt. Naipenset Caverns (5.6N  56.2W)

Step 2: Combining the motes

  Once you have 16 motes, go find yourself a good Alchemist and have him combine them into (hopefully) a Quality Pyreal Ingot

Step 3: Stamping the Ingot

  At this point you will need to go with a powerful mage to crater village (64.8N  13.6E) and go to the top of the tower there.  You will need to have 9,500 pyreals on you.  Buy the appropriate glyph from Silencia.  Have the mage buff your appropriate skills (you need a  minimum of 275 to have a good chance at what you want)  Double click on the glyph you bought, then on the Quality Pyreal Ingot.  If you are successful, you will now have a Superbly Infused Ingot.

Step 4: Getting your weapon

  Give this to the Magma Golem and it will hand you a Peerless Atlan weapon as shown below:
