Weapon, Shield & Bow Ornaments (Primary, Secondary & Range) are NOT part of the Hero's Forge ornament system and will not go onto your Hero's Forge Key Ring.

The difference between them is that Hero's Forge Ornaments have to to be activated (DB Cash) and are for visible worn gear (Slot 21... Head, Feet, Chest, etc.).  Ornaments for Weapons, Shields and Bows are "held" items (Slot 20... Primary, Secondary, Range) and they do not require any form of activation or Marketplace expenditure in order to use them.

In fact, Weapon, Bow & Shield ornamentations came first and pre-date the Hero's Forge system.

I have not been able to specifically narrow down exactly when ornaments (of any kind) first appeared in the game. The first augmentations of any kind (Slot 7, Slot 8, etc.) were introduced with the Lost Dungeons of Norrath expansion, back in September of 2003... but they were not Ornaments. Hero's Forge was introduced via Patch in August of 2012, during the Veil of Alaris era. Player Crafted Ornaments were introduced with the Underfoot expansion (December 2009, Pottery Skill). The oldest posting I have stumbled across about ornaments is from August of 2007 (The Buried Sea era).

Ornaments were also tied in with the Legends of Norrath game, which was released in September 2007 (during The Buried Sea era). The last expansion they added to Legends of Norrath was in August 2013 (during the Rain of Fear era). Legends of Norrath was eventually shut down, for good, in July of 2016 (during the The Broken Mirror era), for reason never made clear. Legends of Norrath does live on in the Marketplace, however, where various Legends of Norrath Prize Cards are sold. Those Prize Cards can still award the Legends of Norrath Weapon / Shield / Bow Ornaments (among other things) as a tradable "Prize" item (which can be converted into the actual Ornament).

It appears that Weapon, Bow and / or  Shield ornaments were introduced somewhere during the time of (7) different expansions (Gates of Discord, Omens of War, Dragons of Norrath, Depths of Darkhollow, Prophecy of Ro, The Serpents Spine, or The Buried Sea)... which is a (3) year span between February 2004 and February 2007 (back then, there were two expansions each year).

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

• Slot 20 Ornaments can be freely removed and placed into items (no Distiller required).
• The majority of these Ornaments can be worn at Level 1. However, there are some that are Level Restricted, relevant to the expansion for which they were introduced.
• Ornaments that have a Proc / Buff on them often have a required Level for said Proc / Buff to work. This requirement means the Proc / Buff will not work for you unless your Character is at least the required Level for the related spell (Proc), or Higher. However, you can still wear / equip the Ornament for the "look."
• All Slot 20 Ornaments can only be used in your Primary, Secondary or Ranged slot, related to the weapon type restrictions on them.
• Most Slot 20 Ornaments do not have Class restrictions, there are some that do... such as the Epic Request / Epic Retelling Ornaments.
• Marketplace Ornaments are normally No Trade, but many, are also Heirloom.
• Ornaments sold in the Marketplace may, or may not, be available year round.
• While most Marketplace Ornaments are sold as individual items, sometimes they are sold as part of a set, or only as part of a set. These "sets" get you an item that can be converted into the Ornaments included in said set (i.e. "Brawler's Sword and Board Package").
• Many of the Slot 20 Marketplace Ornaments appear to have been delegated to the Overseer / Overseer Vendor (and therefore, removed / retired from the Marketplace, all together).
• Crafted Ornaments are normally Tradeable and / or Attunable.
• Recipes for most, if not all, crafted Ornaments are revealed and / or learned (scribed) by way of Vendor-sold Tradeskill books / scrolls.
• In-game dropped (raid or group) Ornaments are normally Tradeable and / or Attunable.
• Augment-type Ornaments, that are converted into actual Ornament (Slot 20), are normally Attunable.
• Ornaments sold by Faction / Progression Vendors are sometimes No Trade. To see and / or buy such Ornaments, you will need a level of earned Faction / Progression (Flagging) and / or the required amount of Specialty Coin (Alternative Currency).
• Ornaments acquired via other sources (Achievements, Beta...) are normally No Trade.
• Ornaments, themselves, are not placeable. However, the items they fit into usually are placeable. If you put an ornament in an item and then place that item, it should look like the ornament (not the item).
• LoN related Ornaments acquired from the Marketplace are initially awarded as a tradeable item (i.e. a "Prize" item), meaning you can acquire such ornaments from other Players, rather than the Marketplace. The LoN "Prize" items can be converted into the actual No Trade item (this is not reversible).
• There are some ornaments (primarily the ones from Achievements or as Expansion Bonus Items) that are actually multiple ornaments in one. Such Ornaments can be converted into variant Ornaments of the same "theme," by way of a button in the Item Window. Due this, you can only possess one variant of such Ornaments at a time, unless you are / were awarded more than (1) copy of the original Ornament (which Achievements sometimes do).
• Some Ornaments can actually be used (or Converted) as either an Augment (Slot 4, Slot 7, Slot 8) or as an Ornament (Slot 20).
• NOTE: Many Ornaments have particle effects (animation). In the lists below, you may not be able to see the effect in the static image, but you cam in a the video (if one is included).
• NOTE: The in-game appearance of items (and their animations) can and will vary based on your EQ / Windows settings (Gamma, Particle Effects, Advanced Lighting, Pixel Shaders, etc.).

CONTAINER ORNAMENTS

Many of the original Ornaments were actually a combine container, most of which, seem to have been Player Crafted (some were even called 'Molds'). You put your weapon, shield or bow inside and then combined it. The container was consumed (lost) and your weapon / shield / bow took on a new look, but was otherwise unchanged.

The change was 'permanent,' which did not go over too well with Players, so the Ornamentation Stripping Tool (sold by many Vendors, to include Magus Alaria in the Guild Lobby) was added to the game.

The Ornamentation Stripping Tool is also a container, for which you placed your weapon / shield / bow inside and combined it. The container is consumed (lost) and your weapon/ shield / bow is returned to it's original appearance. You do not get the original Ornament back.

Since that time, Container type ornaments have essentially been removed from the game all together. They were converted into being actual Ornaments (rather than containers). However, that does not mean Players might not have still have some Container Ornament lingering in their inventory, even to this day. For this reason, these listings include the 'Container' Ornament type, when my research indicates they once had a Container version.

Otherwise, Container Ornaments can no longer be acquired.

.

AUGMENTATION ORNAMENTS

There are also Ornaments that are actually Augmentations, that fit into Slot 4, Slot and / or Slot 8 Augmentation slots. In fact, they still exist, and they all seem to be related to the Legends of Norrath game / Marketplace items.

Most, if not all, Augment based Ornaments have a Proc attached to them, so they are not only an Ornament, but a Proc.

However, a lot of Players did not like Augment style Ornaments, as they may have liked the look, but not the Proc. Or they may have liked the Proc, but not the look.

With that, the Ornamentation Mutation Tool, (sold by many Vendors, to include Magus Alaria in the Guild Lobby) was added to the game.

The Ornamentation Mutation Tool is a container that you can combine an Augment-style Ornament inside of, and it is converted into an actual Slot 20 Ornament. However, in the process, the Ornamentation Mutation Tool is consumed (lost) and the Proc is also stripped away (removed). This process can not be reversed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
