To craft Stygia Bar you need find Soulsteel Anvil used to convert Stygia Dust and Stygia Sliver into Stygia Bar.

Soulsteel Anvil in the area is interactable, and when opened, allows access to a special crafting menu, called Stygia Crafting. Within this Anvil, you can currently craft two items:

Stygia Bar: 10x Stygia Dust and 10x Stygia Sliver.
Armored Husk: 1x Soulforger's Tools and 20x Stygia Bar.

To craft Armored Husk you need a total of 200x Stygia Dust and 200x Stygia Sliver.
Soulforger's Tools drop from the rare Soulforger Rhovus in The Maw, after you fully translate the Intact Rune Codex.

Comment by abhorsen1988

I've been using the Stygia Dowser to farm the Stygia Nexus clouds. On average I seem to be getting about 1-2 Stygia Dust and 1-2 Stygia Sliver per cloud. At this rate it's looking like approximately 150-200 Stygia Nexus clouds to obtain the minimum 200 dust and 200 sliver needed for 20 Stygia Bar.

Another way to get to Soulsteel Anvil is to use the item "Dominations Calling" to teleport up to where you can kill "Exos, Herald of Domination".

I recorded the locations of Stygia Nexuses I found while collecting the materials for the Bound Shadehound. (copying this comment to other pages so the information is easy to find).

This is not an exhaustive list but should be enough to get anyone started on their search.

Some tips/suggestions:

1. DO NOT MOVE while channeling the Nexus or you will not get the full amount of materials and still despawn it.

2. Only one player can loot each Nexus. Use a low-pop server, or warmode if you're feeling confident to secure spawns.

3. Rogue, Hunter, Mage, Druid are the best classes to collect these on. A lot of the spawns are behind/surrounded by enemies, so if you aren't one of those classes, I recommend bringing some invisibility potions.

4. Buy the grappling hook upgrade if you haven't already: many of the spawns are on top of pillars only accessible by grappling.

5. Steal shadehounds, use goblin gliders, movement abilities, and anything else you can think of to get around faster. Use the chaotic riftstones upgrade and look out for spawns along your path. Also, buy the Ve'nari teleport and use it as needed, it will save you a lot of time.

6. Start with a fresh Eye of the Jailer. The nexuses contribute toward increasing its level, and you don't want to be bombarded by towers or harassed by assassins for hours on end.

7. The node marks on the minimap are only visible when you are close to the spawn, so check each coordinate carefully. The tomtom map point may also block the spawn point visually, so remove waypoints as you check them.

8. Find a circular path that works for you. I would go from the sanctuary through the beastwarrens, take the bridge to perdition hold and check every point there, and then check between Zovaal's Cauldron and the Tremaculum.

Here are the spawn points I found, please add to this list if you find any others:

This item is part of the Bound Shadehound mount

How to get the Bound Shadehound mount

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siGXfMWdzmo

Pre-requisites: Be Appreciated by Ve'nari, have 3,500 Stygia, have learned Animated Levitating Chain. Helpful: Words of Warding is active because of Assassin's Soulcloak

Buy Stygia Dowser for 1,500 Stygia
Go to Domination Keep in Perdition Hold (approx at 23.0, 68.4), and grapple up 1 level. Go to the left, and go up the stairs to a second hook at about 24.0, 75.5.
Use your extra action button and solve the Rune Puzzle to get Crumbling Stele by making the runes above the chest match the runes on the spikes. Spike #1 was to your left grappling up and goes clockwise. You have limited attempts before being locked out for two hours. If this happens, use the time to farm
Return to Ve'nari and buy Partial Rune Codex for 2,000 Stygia.
Retrieve Rune Codex Page: Forging from the cave in the Beast Warrens located at 48.8, 84.7. The page is in the back left.
Retrieve Rune Codex Page: Souls from Perdition Hold located at 27.2, 72.3.
Retrieve Rune Codex Page: Binding from Tremaculum at 24.6,12.67. The teleport up is at 27.6,17.3.
Read all the pages by clicking on them to get Intact Rune Codex
Pet Stray Soul in the River of souls to get Willing Wolf Soul. Go against the current and you'll eventually find him.
Kill the rare Soulforger Rhovus to get Soulforger's Tools
Spend the next 2 - 8 hours of your life farming 200 Stygia Dust and 200 Stygia Sliver. The Stygia Dowser will allow you to see Stygia Nexus on the minimap. On the ground these look like glowing green orbs. Stand next to one and click on the Stygia Dowser. Only one person can tap a nexus at a time. I recommend not going over eye 2 for this.
Celebrate the end of grinding
Go to Soulsteel Anvil (located at the very top of Domination Keep at 20.2,67.0-You will need to grapple hook up the side) to create 20 Stygia Bar
Create Armored Husk by combining 20 Stygia Bar with Soulforger's Tools
Optional: Take the Chaotic Rift to get down (it takes you to Zovaal's Cauldron)
Go to the Binding alter at 45.2,48.2 to combine Armored Husk with Willing Wolf Soul to get Feral Shadehound
Read Crumbling Stele to get the rune order
Use Feral Shadehound to get start Feral Shadehound which starts the binding ritual
Run Feral Shadehound into a cage or pillar to not have to bother with mob agro while you punch in the correct rune order.
This completes Feral Shadehound which gives Bound Shadehound
Learn the mount, brag to guildies/friends

A quick note on farming. When Words of Warding is active, as long as you don't turn it in, you can cloak easily in Perdition Hold, which makes Perdition Hold ideal for farming Stygia Dust and Stygia Sliver. It also makes it easier to get Rune Codex Page: Souls as well as get to Go to Soulsteel Anvil.

Another thing I noticed is that when you collect resources from one stygia nexus, another one seems to spawn almost instantly. I think there are two active nexus in each particular sub-zone of the maw. This is why camping a spot doesn't seem to work as the nexus are random. HOWEVER, I think some more more common spawn locations than others. If you are having trouble finding one, I'd check the more rare spots, which for Perdition Hold is at the very very top of Dominion Keep as well as the very southern part where your Assassin's Soulcloak will fall off.

Anyone else wondering if they will add more stygia crafting in the future... I just stop and tap the nodes for stygia even though I completed the mount but was wondering if the bars would be worth keeping?

Comment by Nereeza

/way 26, 30 on top of a huge diagonal pillar.

I also offset Kazi12's x coordinates by 1 on my pasted macros so as to be able to see if the spawns are there and not so TomTom doesn't cover them up on my minimap when i'm nearby!
