TSW Guide to Signets
Locations and Quests
Signets are items in TSW that can be applied to Q10 gear. These apply an effect to the item in manner of either a proc or item boost. Dropped signets are acquired at a green level. In order to acquire blue or purple signets, you must combine 10 of one type of signet in your crafting interface. Once you apply a signet to a piece of gear, it can not be removed. Currently, signets represent the “long haul” for gear progression. A single purple signet requires 100 green signets of a single type.
Signets are divided into Head & Weapon, Head, Major and Minor slots.
Signets can be acquired in a number of ways.
(1) Random drops off mobs, from dungeons, and lairs.
(2) Rewards from Quests.
I have confirmed that blue signets are rewards from signet bags (quest rewards). This means it is even more critical to do your signet quests on recycle.
Besieged Farmlands
- Foul Banquet
- Ripples
- The Girl who kicked the Vampire’s nest
Shadowy Forest
It is unclear, at this time, whether signets are always rewarded by these quests or if these quests have a random chance of giving a reward. However, in every case where one of us has gotten a signet, the other person has as well at the same time.
The other locations you can aquire signets are via farming. Some farming locations are:

- Kingsmouth – 885, 650 – Kingsmouth Municipal Airport
- Savage Coast – 550, 190 – Suicide Buff

Thanks a ton for the quest list! Been using it for a couple days now.
Though, confused why you added Six Feet Under, I just did it and got a glyph bag. Does it have a chance at a signet or is that just a mistake?

I had removed it from the list, I would guess it wasn’t removed on this site when we moved off blogger. Thanks for the heads-up.

I’m not so sure Violence signets drop in Mirewood. I farmed it for the first time tonight for a long time. I did end up with 3 major healing signets (Amelioration), but no Violence. After a couple nights of Roman Bath farming, I finally got a Vigour major so that seems accurate.

Violence does drop at Mirewood, had two so far.

From Patch 1.4 notes:
* All the repeatable solo nightmare missions should now reward a Signet Reward Bag.
* The missions Cellar Door and Fungal Fireworks will no longer award a Signet Reward Bag, but will give out reward in line with their difficulty.

What quests are included in the set of “repeatable solo nightmare missions”? That could potentially be a large set of quests . . .
[Translate]
I don’t have a full list of quests that now offer the signet bags, however I do know the few quests we did in Transylvania did give signet bags (that didn’t previously).
[Translate]
As a Purple, any mission that is listed as Hard and is not a Lair mission will reward a Signet Bag. That includes Side Missions. I run these missions whenever they are off cooldown.
[Translate]
That is correct, it’s a reasonably new switch to the Romanian quest hubs. Getting signets is a lot easier than it used to be.

While this may not be all inclusive have found these Quests so far to give Signate Reward Bags.
