Hollow & Phantom Missile Weapons

Hobbies

Quests

October of 2002 finally saw the addition of Hollow and Phantom missile weapons! The steps to make Hollow Missile Weapons are similar to making Hollow Melee Weapons by using Low Chorizite Ore. Phantom Missile Weapons, on the other hand, are made with High Grade Ore, not Bloodhunter Oil.

A Missile Weapon just wouldn't be the same without some pointy ammunition. The Medium Chorizite Ore allows you to craft a tool to fletch Chorizite Arrows, Quarrels and Atlatl Darts!

Hollow Missile Weapons
To begin, head to the Lugian Mines at 73.9S, 39.0E (no level restriction) for a Chunk of Low-Grade Chorizite Ore. For a shortcut to the Lugian Mines, take the Southern Park Settlement Portal from Qalaba'r (74.8S, 17.8E). You'll exit at 75.8S, 37.0E, a short run from the Mines. You'll be fighting both Laigus and Amploth Lugians. Wear armor; the chorizite weapons they yield ignore magical protections.

You'll need to acquire a Lugian Pick Axe from an obliging Amploth Lugian to mine the ore. To reach a deposit, keep heading south. After heading down a ramp you'll reach a large open room. You can reach deposits at the ends either route exiting this room. Use the pick axe on the deposit to extract your ore.

After you have your chunk (just one!) take it to Feruza ibn Salaq (76.0N, 49.1W) to have it refined. For a Shortcut, take the Lady Maila Estates Settlement Portal from Mayoi at 60.8S, 80.3E. This drops you at 74.4N, 46.3W, a very short run to to Feruza's Beach Fort.

Once you have refined your ore, you'll need to stamp it with a Glyph. You can purchase one from Silencia at the Crater.

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. (With the advent of the Housing Portals, there is now an even easier route. Visit the Shortcuts page for more information.)

Hand your Infused Ore to Silencia's Magma Golem and it will give you your Hollow weapon in return! Since one size fits all, no skill check is required. The Hollow weapons, like the ore, are no-drop. Plus they're pretty.

Phantom Missile Weapons
To make a Phantom Missile Weapon, use the same process as the Hollow Missile Weapon, but use a Chunk of High Grade Ore instead.

High Grade Chorizite Ore can be found in the Lugian Excavations at 77.0S, 64.4E (no level restriction). For a shortcut to the Lugian Mines, take the Lugian Meadows Settlement Portal from Mayoi (60.8S, 80.3E). You'll exit at 74.5S, 64.4E, a short run from the dungeon. You'll be fighting both Gigas and Extas Lugians.

Be careful! The dungeon is riddled with traps that will dispel all the buffs you can muster. It's best to have good base AL armor (often referred to as Hollow Armor).

To reach a deposit, keep heading north from the entrance. After descending a ramp, go right (straight) at the first intersection. You can reach deposits from most of the remaining routes. Use a pick axe on the deposit to extract your ore.

Again, take the ore to Feruza ibn Salaq (76.0N, 49.1W) to be refined, then stamp it with a glyph purchased from Silencia. When you hand the infused ore to the Magma Golem, you will receive a Phantom Weapon in return!

Chorizite Fletching Tool
The Chorizite Fletching Tool, used to make Chorizite Arrows, Quarrels and Darts is created by infusing Medium Grade Chorizite Ore with a Fletching Tool Glyph. Silencia's Magma Golem again does the honors. Unlike the weapons, the Chorizite Fletching Tool may be given!

Medium Grade Ore is mined in the Lugian Quarry at 64.4S, 55.5E (no level restrictions). You'll be battling Obeloth and Lithos Lugians. Like the other ore dungeons, no robes!!

Map: Lugian Quarry

From the entrance head north. Watch out of the Nullify Magic and Mana Blight Trap at the first intersection (there are more throughout). Make a right, then continue north until you head down the ramp. Go either way at the split, then down another ramp. Again, any of the paths you choose will lead you to a deposit of ore.

Chorizite Arrowheads are made by using the tool on greater arrowheads. Use the tool on Deadly Arrowheads to make Chorizite Deadly Arrowheads.
