After you defeat Shiro, your party will be teleported to an area with special traders and crafters. You'll receive an "Amulet of the Mists," which you can trade in for a green item there (pics follow). I think you only get one Amulet per character, so it's best to use it wisely. Also, there is a Weapons Crafter who crafts +5 Energy weapons, and an Armor Crafter who crafts 15k armor (no jade/amber required).

As noted elsewhere, there are several Phoenix in the area which you can charm as your pet. There's one where you start, and several more on the way back to Kaineng (map).

I've compiled these screenies so you guys know what you're in for.

Mesmer 15k Armor

My assassin will get those ceremonial daggers for sure!!!!

But, yes, can you please show us pictures of the armour as well? Plus I take it that you can map back there later if you want stuff, right?

I think this will be a big incentive to finish the game, as all the "best" stuff will be at the end.

EDIT: OUCH! req 15? Well it's a good job I got that superior dagger rune

One amulet per character, that's it. Choose wisely the first time.

Does it customize the item for you or can I use an amulet from my ranger to get another item for my Warrior?

So wait, even if you beat Shiro 37 times, you can only get 1 green item period? What the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO is the point in having sets then? And why aren't there any staves?

Casters and Warriors get screwed, I think. -.-

I can see shiro farming becoming big but the developers did a awsome job at creating a high req for these items. So what is the name of this mission and can someone post the prices and materials needed for the 15k armors so im prepared

These will be worth a lot as it's only one per character, and until the slots are offered that's max 6 per account (or 4).
totally limits the market..no farming..

The 15 req on the Shiro's Daggers is a major disappointment. I guess my Ranger/Assassin will have to buy a ridiculously overpriced Vampiric mod and Fortitude mod for crafter sais. Limiting those daggers only to primary assassins and only to primary assassins with a superior dagger mastery rune is pretty lame.

totally limits the market..no farming.. actually, no. all u need to do is create/delete chars over and over again and you can get all the items. Granted, you'll be spending alot in armour for each char, but if u really want all the weapons bad enough you'll do it.

totally limits the market..no farming.. I suppose one can still farm, if you got 2-3 days spare to level up a character from scratch (or ask a guildie to power level u)... You can recycle the weps but u have to pay for the armor along the way. So, base cost is approx 20k gp plus your time (or the farmer's time), and you wipe the character out at the end and redo it.
When there is a will, there is a way...

When there is a will, there is a way... Yup, I strongly anticipate people finding a way to do this quickly, and cheaply, and farm for endgame items.

Well if you are going to just delete the Character at the end of it why even spend money on armor? Just get it from collectors.
