Anyone know what you need to donate to the Master Blacksmith in Hefei? I was told weapons and ornaments, but no weapons I have ever had in my bag when visiting him were ever lit up for donation and that includes weapons from Tibet drops, Dungeon weapons of all levels, Hermit weapons, and Event weapons.
You should go to The Storyteller and Trade some "A bottle of 100 dewdrops" - 5,5 kk ea. But it is too expensive. Better go for example to LD and donate some weapon to Blacksmith, then You can buy there rank 3 and 4 Suplements..
I can't donate in LD either. I have three Hermit weapons from a SCM run but none of them are lit up for donation.
The Hefei blacksmith NPC only accepts the dewdrops that @Revered has mentioned, and he is right about it being a very expensive route to take. The map blacksmiths accepts weapon drops from mobs on those maps to my knowledge. I've "test" donated a few HZ weapon drops from mobs to the npc before, and he accepts them. However, it takes many weapon donations to up his loyalty grade.
If you press "L" in game and click on loyalty you can see all the maps and their cities. Here you can see your loyalty for every NPC that was loyalty and what they want for loyalty. Example of blacksmith in LD
Almost nothing since Banners became cheap as chips. You can use Loyalty for - some pills from Tibet clinic (1st and 2nd village) - Rank 4 and Rank 5 enhancement supplements from Blacksmith
