Making Notum Nuggets

You can find Notum Nuggets pretty much everywhere and in all quality levels. The nuggets drops randomly from mobs in both missions and outdoors and if you are lucky enough to find a couple you will be closer to having your dreams of that CAS Armor set fulfilled.

First off, we'll start with the tools of the trade. Which is a hammer. A big hammer. If you have no idea what a Sledgehammer is - they can be found in stores.

Don't you just love the sound of your new tool? Don't worry though, you will not need a QL200 hammer for working the Nuggets. The hammer needs to be at least 0.5 times the QL of the Nugget though or the process will not work. We found that our regular storebought QL122 Hammer was quite sufficient to crack the ore into smithereens. Worth noting is that only true sledgehammers will do the job properly - you wont be able to crack anything open with a Paper Hammer or a Bonehammer.

Now for the party-trick. Raise your hammer over your head, pronounce the words "By the Power of Grayskull - I haaaave the poooweeer!" and hit the nugget. Very hard.

This simple step requires you to have some Strength times 3 the QL of the Notum Nugget to be precise, so if you are going to crack up a QL200 Nugget, you might want to look up an enforcer for a quick Prodigal Strength Buff in order for you to get jiggy with it. Its all worth it though, since the QL of the Notum Fragment will be the same QL as the Notum Nugget. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and mine some ore!
