Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 1: Speak to Annatar
To begin your journey, travel to the city of Yew and locate Annatar, the Master Artisan, in the Yew Crafting Plaza.
- Annatar will grant you the quest "The Lost Knowledge".
- He will explain that to forge the legendary Ring of Mastery, you must recover ancient scrolls of crafting lore lost to the monsters of Sosaria.
- Objective: Slay 15 Troglodytes (found in the Painted Caves) and 10 Gargoyles to reclaim the stolen pages.
Step 2: Mining the Mithril Ore
After turning in the pages, Annatar will tell you that the ring's band must be forged from pure, rare Mithril Ore.
- Travel to the deepest levels of the dungeon Covetous or Destard.
- Hunt for wild Mithril Vein deposits.
- Use a standard pickaxe or shovel on the Mithril Veins to mine 10 Raw Mithril Ore. (Note: You must have at least 95.0 Mining skill to successfully extract Mithril!).
Step 3: Smelting at the Primordial Anvil
Standard city forges are not hot enough to melt pure Mithril. You must smelt the ore into bars at the Primordial Anvil.
- The Primordial Anvil is located in the heart of the Volcano Dungeon (Fire Dungeon).
- Travel to the anvil, double-click your Raw Mithril Ore, and target the Primordial Anvil to smelt it into 10 Mithril Bars.
- Be extremely cautious! The area surrounding the Primordial Anvil is heavily guarded by Fire Elementals and Efreet!
Step 4: Smelting the Core & Forging the Ring
Return to Annatar with the 10 Mithril Bars. He will hand you the specialized Ring of Mastery Forge Mold.
- To complete the forging process, you must use your Tinkering skill.
- Requirements:
- 100.0 Tinkering Skill
- 10 Mithril Bars
- 5 Perfect Emeralds
- 5 Blue Diamonds
- Double-click your tinker tools, select the mold, and forge the ring!
