Forging the Arbiter: A Comprehensive Guide to Crafting Powerful Armor in Blood of Dawnwalker

In the sprawling world of Blood of Dawnwalker, acquiring powerful gear is crucial for survival and progression. One such coveted set is the legendary Arbiter armor, offering significant advantages in combat. This guide will walk you through each step of obtaining the necessary components and crafting this formidable armor.

Gathering the Components

The quest for the Arbiter armor begins with a cryptic message from a smuggler, tasking you with collecting four essential components. Let’s break down where to find each one:

Relic of a Saint

Finding the Relic of a Saint can be achieved in multiple ways. The easiest method is during Anca’s quest at St. Tyna’s Convent. Look for a corpse below a ladder on the west side of the inner courtyard. Alternatively, you can obtain a legendary relic from Vicho in Svartrau after completing his Crimson quest, or find another legendary relic while exploring the swamp during Lacra’s The Night of Horrors quest.

Bundle of Silk Threads

Acquiring the Bundle of Silk Threads requires a bit more effort. You must first complete the Good Home quest on the west side of Svartrau Outskirts, which introduces you to the Sanzhani fairies and starts a related questline. Continue assisting the fairies until you unlock the Pearly and Precious quest, allowing you to purchase the Silk Threads from the Sanzhani trader for around 6,000 denari.

Flask of Quiksilver

The Flask of Quiksilver is located on the top floor of Aurelius’s Tower in the southwest of The Silts region. You’ll need to climb the tower, defeat Svetlana, The Dark Prodigy, and then face Aurelius himself, initiating a related quest. While I won’t spoil the details, the linked guide can help if you get stuck. After completing the quest in the tower basement, return to Aurelius’s study on the top floor to find the Flask of Quiksilver on a table.

Moult of a Large Lizard

The Moult of a Large Lizard is arguably the easiest component to obtain. You can find it in a cave on the east side of Briar Sloughs bog area, directly east of the Muddy Trail shrine and south of Vera the vendor. Simply shimmy through the cave entrance, defeat the four Tatselwurm residents, and grab the Moult from the back of the cave.

Crafting the Arbiter Armor

Once you’ve gathered all four components, head to the Uriash Hermit blacksmith in northwest Briar Sloughs. You likely need to have completed a related quest to receive the A Bulwark Against Darkness quest from her. If not, find your way to the Uriashi Hermitage shrine in the northwest of the region.

Each time you present a component to the blacksmith, she’will forge a new piece of the Arbiter armor. When the set is complete, you’ll need to perform a final ritual involving fighting wolves and a ravenous bear boss. Upon completion, the armor will be upgraded to legendary rarity, granting you its full power.

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of acquiring the Arbiter armor in Blood of Dawnwalker. With careful planning and execution, you’ll be well on your way to equipping this powerful set and dominating the battlefield. Good luck!
