- Requires an ebon cluster to reforge the blade.
- Runnyeye anvil
Zone: Runnyeye · Enchanted Lands
6. Slay 1,000 sentient beings
Examine the sword, then slay 1,000 sentient beings. This means killing intelligent monsters such as character races, goblins, gnolls, or lizardmen. Golems, elementals, and most undead are not sentient — but zombies and skeletons do count.
- The Graveyard, The Ruins, The Sprawl, The Mirror, Blackburrow, and Ruins of Caltorsis are good Antonica options.
- The valley before Crushbone Keep in Greater Faydark is ideal for AoE killing.
- Pilgrim's Landing in Frostfang Sea offers rapid respawns for fast grinding.
- Pilgrim's Landing (fast grind spot)
- Diseased Treants (Green Knoll)
- Risen Ry'Gorr (Frostfang Sea)
- Bound necromancers (The Hole)
Zone: Various zones
7. Examine the sword (after sentient kills)
Examine the sword after completing the 1,000 sentient kills.
Zone: Any zone
8. Kill Gynok Moltar
Kill Gynok Moltar (level 47^^^ heroic), the first wielder of the claymore, in Stormhold.
- Gynok Moltar
Zone: Stormhold
9. Examine the sword for your reward
Examine the sword a final time to receive your reward. If you have completed Berik's Revenge and carry Berik, Sword of Thunder, you may choose to strike Berik with the claymore to receive Electrified Bone Bladed Claymore instead.
- Warning: Choosing the Electrified option removes Berik, Sword of Thunder permanently.
- You can also forge the electrified version later at the Runnyeye forge with both swords in inventory.
Zone: Any zone
Tips
- Have an ebon cluster ready before visiting Runnyeye for the reforge step.
- The 1,000 sentient kill step is the longest grind — Frostfang Sea and The Hole are the fastest options.
- If you want Electrified Bone Bladed Claymore, decide before the final examine — or use the Runnyeye forge afterward.
