Quest Overview
Give fused Crystal and Shadow fragments to the Master Armorers and they will build you a suit of unique Shadow Hunter Armor, which cannot be dropped on death.
Walk Through
- [Optional] Purchase the texts A Treatise on the Properties of Fused Gems and Aliester's Corollary from various shopkeepers for more information on gemstone armor.
- Hunt down Shadow creatures and gather the dark crystals that they drop.
- Tip: A good place for higher levels to hunt for Slivers and Dark Shards is in Aerbax's Holding.
- Hunt down Crystals and gather the crystal shards that they drop.
- Tip: Fixed spawns of Crystal creatures are more difficult to find. However, some can be found in the Fenmalain, Caulnalain and the Shendolain Chamber Vestibule chambers. In addition, high numbers of Dual Fragments and Sparkling Dual Fragments can be found on Traitor's Island and Vanguard Isle.
- Once you have your crystal and shadow fragments, combine them until you have either a Glimmering (lesser armor), Sparkling (medium armor) or a Scintillating gem (greater armor). See table below on how to create the fused gems.
- You will need two fused gems to receive a full suit of armor from a smith, the first gem you hand in will get you the leggings (including a girth if Celdon) and the second gem will get you the remaining upper parts.
- Two scintillating gems will you get you a full suit of Neo GSA. It can be handed back to the smiths for the post-patch version and vice versa an unlimited amount of times. There is no Neo version of the lesser and medium Shadow suits, instead you will receive the pre-patch armor which can also be handed back for the post-patch suit.
- Neo and post-patch Shadow armor can be improved in various ways. Tables listing the properties, upgrades and armor levels of the different suits available can all be found below.
- Note: Major atlan stones can be removed from armor using the Stone Tool and dyed armor can be handed to a smith for the undyed armor. Sharded and Prismatic armor changes cannot be reversed.

Notes
- During the Heroes' Respite event, the armor became lighter and the elemental protections were improved.
- During the To Raise a Banner of Flame event, the Armor Smiths were murdered by Hamud ibn Rafik and unable to create GSx at its former AL (post-patch lesser was upgraded 10 AL however).
- Pre-patch GSA is now retired and no longer attainable through the master armorers. It can only be aquired by trading with players who owned it prior to the To Raise a Banner of Flame event. It does not exist on the newer Wintersebb server and is extremely rare on the Solclaim server.
- During the Taste of Twilight event, Atlan Stones could be placed in Greater Shadow Armor to increase its elemental protections (See Aliester's Corollary).
- During the Fever Dreams event, the Armor Smiths burnt their vitae and were once again able to produce Shadow Armor at its former strength. GSA returned to pre-patch values but with new look and wield reqs. and all other armor returned to their pre-patch values and color.
- During the Persuasion event, the ability to dye greater Shadow armor became available.
- During the A Perfect Paradox event, the quest became repeatable without a loss of quality in the armor.
- During the A Gathering of Colors event, a new quest became available to place shards into the armor for improved AL and major life cantrips.
- During the Mirror, Mirror event, it became possible to dye Sharded Shadow Armor.
- During the A Change in Tactics, a new quest became available to turn your Greater Shadow Amuli into Prismatic Shadow Amuli.
- During the Shining Runes and Shadowed Hands event, the new Alduressa Shadow armor became available. It also became possible to create Prismatic Shadow Armor other than Amuli.
