    SO... I have what I need.

    Obsidian Ingot Recipe: Check
    Obsidian Blade Recipe: Check
    Obsidian Sword Recipe: Check

    I can make plenty of various hilts to bring along, but... I need a shedload of Obsidian Chips and Silver for Masterwork... (can you Masterwork at the Obsidian Forge or do you do that once you're done crafting the sword back at your home forge?)

    Now, I just need a massive pile of Obsidian Chips and... maybe a big crew to come along and see how many Obsidian Longswords that I can crank out as payment...

    Where are your favorite places for hunting down Obsidian Chips?

    Check out the Ruins of your choice, where you can find a good amount of them.

    When I go to Upper Tears with MGT I usually come away with lots of obsidian chips.

    All masterworking of obsidian gear takes place at your own forge.
    Message me in game Schneider DragonFang, if and when you need help at the forge.

    I need to make a forge trip at some point in the near future too. Can drag +1 husband who serves as either a level 120 blacksmith or part of defense team. Friend me in game perhaps we can all go together.
    PS - yes upper tears is a great place to get these. I also had someone ask me the other day if I knew a vendor (an NPC vendor) that would buy these for 10 each cause they had so many they wanted to offload. So buying them is potentially a possibility too, depending on how many thousands you need.

    The liches seem to drop the chips pretty often.

    Deep Ravenswood has liches in the middle of the scene.

    Mysterious Swamp has some as well.

    Oh that tagmatch is an excellent thing, Alley!
    Have you found any npc that pay full price for hemlock/emerald borer by chance?

    Reagents should be in the alchemy category if they qualify. Note that nothing below a value of 10 is affected by the 80% that most NPCs pay, because of rounding.

    Last time I played, consistent loot for obsidian chips relative ease of combat was the middle of Deep Ravenswood. It still takes a lot of time to get 1k of them, but I still feel as if that was the best balanced scene for acquiring them.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    As an aside... I took a little trip deep into Hilt Fortress and located the forge the other day. It was a little difficult at times to get down there, but the Forge Room itself was a piece of cake, aside from when I stood on/near the forge and it appeared to kick off a spawn of Mobs.

    The elementals down there do not hurt me that much, the Obsidian ones just took a little longer to knock down.

    Side Question...

    IN order to use the Forge, does one have to be carrying enough material to produce an "end good" or can the interface be brought up without having enough material(s) on hand? I tried to activate the Forge, just to see what the Interface looked like a few times, but all I ended experiencing was the "Curse of the Obsidian" which seemed to kick off the spawning of Mobs and a debuff that looked like it might eventually kill my avatar.

    Hmm, that's interesting, not sure about that. I never experienced that on my trip to the forge. I only went there to see if the textures were like blackrock textures or not, not to actually forge obsidian things. It didnt' seem to have an issue with me activating it tho.
