Forge a ring with a metal and gems of your choice.
A(n) (engraved) (metal type) ring, inlaid with (number of gems) (type of gem)..
Once Ost-in-Edhil: Entrance has been done. After the sun sets, A large stone obelisk will start glowing and a new entrance will open.
Enter Ost-in-Edhil and locate the forge. Find the tools and materials you will need to forge your ring and heat the forge. Once the forge is heated forge your ring. Now engrave the ring and then inlay any jewels you would like.
Forged rings will remain with you between logins and you can have just two on a character.
You can get An alabaster ring box to hold three more.
The maximum number of gems on a ring is four.
Forging a ring is not a huge drain on endurance, but it does use some. Whilst forging you should make sure you are not drunk. If you are very drunk whilst forging you will ruin the ring. If you are only slightly drunk you will hurt yourself during the hammering process.
There are many types of metal which are suitable to forge a ring with, you should look for small items such as daggers, keys, jewelry and nuggets to melt in the crucible.
do entrance,e,enter
You will probably need a light source for this part and a sword. You should also have both hands free.
do search ashes,drop mould
This will give you A ring mould.
do n,get coal,s,drop coal,n,get coal,s,drop coal,n,get coal,s
This will give you three A coal block. Now you should wield your sword.
do place coal in middle block,crush coal
You should now get both of your hands free once more.
do n,search rubble,get hammer,get tongs,s,drop hammer,drop tongs
This will give you A ringsmith hammer and A set of delicate tongs.
do n,look west wall,examine west wall,tear down web,w,get crucible,e,s,drop crucible
This will give you A chipped crucible.
do n,w,get bowl,fill bowl,e,s,fill trough,drop bowl
This will give you A ceramic bowl.
You now have everything you need to forge the ring. First we need to light the forge.
light forge
This will check your Fire Building skill (so the higher it is the more chance of lighting the coal). If you see You fail to light the damp coal. then you should try again until you see The coal starts to give off very weak fire.You ignite the forge.. Once you see this a few seconds later you will see Suddenly, fresh air starts coming from the hall. The draft is strong and the flame grows into its full power.. (You no longer need your light source).
You are now ready to start the forging process. Have the metal in your hands.
do put <metal> in crucible,get crucible,place crucible in forge
You now have to wait until the metal melts. You will get the following in order.
The metal in the crucible starts getting softer.
It won't take much longer and the metal in the crucible will melt and lose its solid form.
The metal in the crucible has fully melted and is now refined. You may pull out the crucible and pour the melted metal into a mould..
Now make sure A ring mould is closed.
do close mould,pull out crucible,pour metal into mould,drop crucible,get tongs,get hammer,wield hammer
Unfortunately you do not get any indication of how long to wait for the next part, but you should wait for between 45 and 60 seconds before continuing.
do open mould,grip ingot,sit on block,hammer ring
You have to hammer the ring several times. Once you see one of the messages below simply do the following.
hammer ring
If you see The ring is too cold for the hammering. Heat it in fire. you will have to reheat the ring in the forge.
do stand up,heat ring,sit on block
You will get these messages in order after each hammering.
With delicate strikes of your hammer, you finally shape the ingot to a wearable ring form. It still needs much work to be a nice ring though.
Gripping your hammer tightly, you aim a few strong blows on the ring, altering its size to be perfectly suited for your finger.
You gently remove the metal protrusions from inside the ring, caused probably by the defected shape of the ancient ring mould.
You flatten the outside surface of the ring with precisely aimed hammer strikes
With a lot of concentration, you shape the edges of the ring to be almost perfectly smooth and round.
You examine the ring carefully and fix some more defects in its now more refined shape.
Spotting some not quite flat places inside the ring, you carefully hammer out the imperfections.
Your recent fixes to the inside of the ring slightly defected the outside shape, so now, with great concentration, taking care not to spoil anything else, you flatten the surface.
Having finally made the sides of the ring really smooth, you carefully strike a couple more blows to perfect the edges.
Eventually you will get the following message.
Taking far more time to look and check your ring than to actually hammer, you make sure its shape is absolutely perfect. All that remains now is to cool the ring and polish its surface.
If you want to engrave your ring you will need An engraving chisel. There is a chance you can get one by solving the maze in Ost-In-Edil.
Assuming you have the chisel in your hands you can engrave the ring like this (you might want to heat the metal again after you finish hammering for the last time).
engrave ring
Engrave whatever you want then you can inlay the gems.
We will assume you have the gems in your pack (if you have more than one gem you should attach them quickly. As after the metal gets cold, heating it again will destroy any gem that has already been inlaid).
do get gem from pack, attach gem
Repeat this until you have inlaid all the gems you wanted to.
Now you can finish your ring.
do quench ring, polish ring, release ring
Congratulations, you have now forged your ring.
