Note: During the Fever Dreams event, the new types of Singularity weapons required the Mosswart Shroud, not the Virindi Cloak. This was corrected during the Persuasion patch so that all weapons now require the Virindi Cloak.

Quest updated during Treaties in Stone. These weapons can be further upgraded by completing the Bound Singularity and Ultimate Singularity Weapons quests.

Update by Braxtynn of VT: "Hi Maggie --
I love your site.........please keep up the good work. I ran off to my favorite little Dungeon near Zaihkal (?sp) and found the Mossy Chamber had changed dramatically. Not only has the moss grown and plants sprouted all over the place, the Mosswarts have called in their tougher cousins. The Mossy Idolators and Fanatics are gone and have been replaced by Mosswart Mire-Witches lvl 70, Mosswart Muck Stalkers lvl 79, and Mosswart Clingers..........and LOTS of them. I am young (lvl 37 mage) and couldnt clear the first room no matter what I did. I didnt get down to the level where you grab the shroud but with the shear numbers of the higher level Mosswarts in there I would wager it is tougher down there too.

I hope this helps anyone that may want to grab a shroud, because it isnt like it used to be. :) Dereth is getting tougher Mosswarts."

Abyssal of MT sends this tip: "A good place for Mosswart Mire-Witches is the south shore of Dereth, particularly west of the Landbridge Villas (skill spec dungeon). You **MUST** find a spawn of 5 Witches together (one will always drop a cloak & a lore book), single ones or those that spawn with Clingers will never drop a cloak. None of the Witches on the Ves Islands drop a cloak either."

They may be destroyed on death, but they sure are pretty in the time they're around! To begin the quest for Singularity Weapons seek out some Mosswart Mire Witches. You can find them spawning near the swamps of Wei Jhou. Occasionally, one will drop a Tattered Virindi Cloak. Note: the Wai Jhou Mire Witches used to be the only ones to drop the cloak, but now all Mire Witch spawns may drop one. They've also been seen around Amperhelion Vault and Ayan Baqur, and on the Vesayen Isles. In addition to the cloak, they'll also drop a book of Lore, Facilitation.

Xargun of Harvestgain gives these directions: "There's tiny swamp plot next to Waijhou, which essentially is a big house with a few vendors, and it has baddies all around. There's another two plots of swamp land very close to waijhou, simply follow the water... There are dark raveners, olthoi nobles, slavus, etc... I came upon a small camp of mosswart mire witches, where there were 6 of them. The last one, yes the last one, gave me a cloak. yay!"

Next you'll need to treat your Cloak with Virindi Essence, found in the Mosswart Hideout on the Vesayen Isles (72.7 S 90.7 E). If you're lucky, you can catch a ride to the isle, or even the Hideout itself. Otherwise, you can take my favorite route: run to the Mountain Shortcut portal from Arwic (34.9N, 56.0E), then take the Bandit Castle Portal (42.4N, 60.5E) to the Vesayen Isles portal (61.7N, 48.6E).

Buff heavily before entering! You'll be attacked by about a dozen Mosswart Idolators and Fanatics at the entrance. From there take the North passage down, head west past the Fanatic, then make the next left heading South. You'll be making your way through several Soul Trappers and an occasional Idolator. When you hit the large blue-ish room, take the South passage after killing the 3 Zealots. Keep heading down and south and you'll know you're close when you smell the unmistakable stench of Tusker. 

The Virindi Essence is inside a Sturdy Iron Key chest (don't forget to bring a key!), guarded by a Sotoris Hollow Minion. You'll have to fight your way through a few Idolators, 3 Drudge Raveners and 2 Goldenback Tuskers. A good tactic is to have a high level Archer along who can fire off a Frost Arrow after an Imperil on the Minion. (Thanks Danier and Ned!) There's also a Shadow lurking in the darkness beyond the chest. In addition to the Essence, you'll also find A Meeting -- the 3rd installment of a tale by Martine in the chest. Another piece of lore, Sir Martine's Journal, lies on the ground nearby, in a pool of blood.

If you don't want a singularity weapon and would rather have some Diamond Scarabs as a reward, save your essence to use on an Torn Mosswart Shroud instead. You can recover one off the corpse of Gragghk, a level 117 Mosswart who can be found in the lower levels of the Moss Chamber (14.1N, 0.7W no level restrictions). Let's just say the the Moss Chamber isn't the cushy walk in the park it used to be! (Yes, I died before I even got a good look at the little fellow!)

From the main floor head down. You'll encounter a lower level Creeper or two near the main level, but as you descend, you'll soon be running into Fanatics and Idolators. Make a right, then a right again as you head lower. After your 3rd right you should see the area where the dungeon turns a glowing green. Make the first right in the green section. When you get to a larger open area with several choices of passages, take the middle and look for the corridor with the bloodstain on the floor. The ramp leading down to Gragghk's chambers is nearby.

Gragghk himself is accompanied by a Mosswart Mire Witch, 3 Soul Trapper and 3 Idolators. After killing everything, retrieve your Shroud from his corpse. He also carries a book: Storytelling.

You'll see a portal in the corner of the room -- Destination: Moss Chamber. Step through into a bizarre and strange atmosphere. A small Mosswart hangs cruxified on the wall; a Broken Virindi floats in the middle of the room and four more Virindi float motionless behind him, each with a weapon lying on the ground before them. 

Chapter 5 of Martine's tale is the Interlude.

When you speak to the Broken Virindi, he asks for a Glowing Mosswart Shroud (treated with Virindi Essence) in exchange for a suitable reward from his master. He'll also hand you a text: Denouement. Give him your Glowing Shroud and receive 5 Diamond Scarabs in return.

Each of the Four Virindi behind him will give you a Singularity Weapon in exchange for a Glowing Cloak. From left to right the weapons are as follows:

Conquered Virindi - Mace
Leashed Virindi - Spear
Tamed Virindi - Sword
Beaten Virindi - Axe

It's all so creepy and really kind of sad! But you won't feel bad for too long once you're holding your new weapon with the BD VI and the sparkly blue lights swirling around it! The weapons may be enchanted and will be destroyed on death. They were fun while they lasted!

During the Fever Dreams event, Hollow Minions were added in the final room of the Singularity Weapons quest. These Hollows will give a  Bow, Crossbow, Dagger, Katar or Staff in exchange for the Glowing Virindi Cloak. The Atlatl was added during A Perfect Paradox.

Visit the Singularity Weapons Upgrade quest for information on how to boost the base damage and bonuses on these weapons (must have Dark Majesty).
