Quest text[edit]

Hail, <player>. I heard you had some experience as a Tinkerer. Is it true?

  • I have mastered the basics and I slowly progress in more complex achievements. Why do you ask?

Was the Anti-Werewolf Grenade I gave you before you go to the Dusk Fortress useful?

  • It was pretty handy.

Speak withTalbain Styrlakr

Excellent! Versanto the Master has finalised the crafting process of the grenades and he would like to share it with you as a gesture of thanks for your involvement in freeing New Rachival from the werewolves threat. You should speak to him.

Our hero grazes my door! Please enter my shop.

  • Thank you for this warm welcoming.

It is the Gnomes' honor to thank you here: we can trade with other towns again and we can sleep at night without these ominous howls. I believe Talbain sent you, didn't he?

  • That's right.

Good. I was writing a formula for you to create more Anti-Werewolf Grenades. Unfortunately, I haven't finished yet. Could you obtain the various required components for them while I finish writing this formula?

  • Sure thing.

Then you need Steel Tinkering Gears, Steel Tinkering Hinges and some Silver Bars. But you also need two special components.

The first one is some Werewolf Claws. I know Talbain had already asked you for some earlier. We have discovered that grinding these claws and adding it to the silver to create the grenade casing can potentiate its effects.


Speak to Versanto the Master in his shop at New Rachival

The second one is Black Powder. This one was created by Gard Brownbottle when we were doing research for this weapon. We needed an explosive to cast pieces of silver metal in a large area and she found the right composition! If you also master Alchemy arts, you can buy the formula from her. Otherwise, ask another Alchemist to craft some for you.
