Quests

Start by killing golems. Then kill some more golems. And after you have killed some golems, you should kill a few more. Then, yes, that's right ...kill even more golems.

Rumor has it that the higher level golems yield a better chance of discovering a mote.

In total, you will need 16 motes to make your weapon. Use motes on each other (double click like you are using a heal kit or lockpick) to make a sliver. Two slivers make a nugget. Two nuggets will make a pyrel bar.

To make your ingot, you will need an alchemist to combine your two pyreal bars. The higher the alchemy skill, the better the ingot you will make. The recommended skill is 250+. There's a certain amount of chance in this step. You may find yourself with a lower quality ingot even with a very high alchemy skill. Likewise, you may luck out and get a better quality ingot with a lower skill. The higher skill appears to increase your chances of obtaining a peerless weapon.

Next, find Silencia at the Crater to purchase your glyph (bring lots of cash). Portalling to the crater is the easiest way to travel, but if you need to travel by land, come in from the southwest. Look for two stone pillars topped by fire (65.2N x 10.5E). Wear your fire protective clothing and look for the narrow "V" slot in the wall of the crater. Run like hell through the entrance, past the flammas and flares, and keep going, bearing right. Crater Village is located counter clockwise around the lake at 64.8N x 13.6E. Silencia stands on the top floor of the tower near the lifestone.

Before you use your newly purchased glyph with your ingot, buff, buff, buff your weapon skill.  This is where one of the skill checks takes place. Bring along a creature mage friend to assist you. Next you will give your stamped ingot to Silencia's pet Magma Golem. Again, buff before giving the stamped ingot to the Magma Golem to increase your chances for a high quality weapon. The Magma Golem will give you your Altan Weapon in return for the stamped glyph!

Getting Home
There are several exits portals from the Crater. Hilltop near Glendon Wood 64.8N x 13.6E and to a Sho Roadside, North of Shoushi 64.9N x 13.6. You can also take one to Crater Pathway 64.8N x 13.6E, but watch out for wisps.

Power-up Your Weapon
Power-up your weapon with elemental stones. Rumors to the stones' locations can be found in-game, or you can just look at the coordinates to the right! To add a stone to your weapon, double click it, target the weapon, and click. You will get the following message: "You have altered your weapon!" The Major Stones add elemental damage to the weapons. Major Stones are much harder to obtain than the Minor Stones. For example, Jahanna Vault contains Zefers, Flammas, Infernos, Mountain Rats and requires a high jump skill.

To change the stones, you will need a special tool, found in a dungeon near the Northern land bridge into the Dires. It is guarded by Tumerok Scouts, Officers, Priests, Highs and Gladiators galore. The tool breaks after several uses, so consider making more than one weapons, to eliminate the need to change stones often! The stones may also break after several uses.

Shadow Stone
The Shadow Stones were only available by special invitation. Certain high level characters were transported to what is believed to be Asheron's Island to pass a test. The Shadow Stone is the reward, along with the title Shadow Lord or Dark Master. (I don't know... is that a good thing?) Visit this spot to learn more!

Stone of Black Fire
The Stone of Black Fire is one of the rewards from the Island of Aerlinthe.

Tip: Bring lots of money (9,500p) when you head to visit Silencia to buy the glyph. They're expensive!

The strategy of "distributed camping" for the newer quests is an attempt to stop the undistributed camping that was causing huge back-ups, lines and possessive attitudes of some players over choice loot.
