Because lots of people have asked questions about it, I've decided to compile everything into a concise format. There's no excuse for not knowing now!
There are two templates for the Level 4 weapon quests. One type starts in Umbala, and gives you a choice of using one of three gemstones. Each stone will make one weapon, so you know what you're getting. The other type is longer and more random. The NPCs in Niflheim will give you one of four weapons, and you don't know which until it's over.
To start an Umbala quest, start by talking to the appropriate NPC with a character level 70 or higher. He will then ask you to bring some items. They are 10 gold, 50 steel, 10 emperium, and 30 of your choice of gemstones. When you return with them, he will play a guessing game with you. There will be four choices, and a random one of them is the correct answer. After five rounds of this game, if you haven't gotten it correct once, then you lose 10 of the gemstone. If you guess correctly at least once, he makes your weapon!
NPCs, weapons, and corresponding gems:
Bazo (117,285)
Hibilaithan (163,257)
Tabezthan (156,77)
The Niflheim quests are more involved. They start at the respective NPCs in Niflheim, and you must be level 80 to participate. When you talk to a NPC, they say that they don't remember anything. To jog their memory, you must go find their father, Bill Thayer. He's at (178,239) in Aldebaran, along the north wall. He will give you a phrase to repeat to the dead smith, which must be done exactly, punctuation and capitalization count! Once you've done this, you will be asked to bring 20 Gold, 2 Hammers of Blacksmith, 1 Illusion Flower, and 1 Emperium Anvil. When he collects these, the NPC will say he forgot what other materials are needed. Return to Bill Thayer and he will know. At this point, the weapon option narrows from four to two, but randomly. It is important to remember, you are not guaranteed the weapon you want! If you collect gems for your desired weapon before turning in the gold and anvil, don't be surprised if Bill Thayer doesn't list the ones you have. Once you have 30 each of the requested stones, return to Niflheim for the guessing game. You will play three rounds of rock-paper-scissors with your ghostly contact. You must win two times of the three to proceed. If you lose, he will take 30 of one of the gemstones you brought. When you beat him, he will give you one of two weapons, based on a coin toss.
The specifics for Niflheim quests:
Kayron (240,193)
Reyghema (99,268)
Hein (187,280)
Waltboughst (331,72)
