I worked out what you need to make your own Blackstones (both weapons & armor) You will need: A level 3 refinery Skilled in alchemy A shit-load of materials! Quite some nodes To do some farming To kill mobs for materials I put it in a spreadsheet for myself to calculate but here are the base values if you want to make 1 of each: I didn't add how you get the base "Gather" materials, but you can use http://bddatabase.net/us/ for that. Enjoy~!
