Quest text[edit]
Listen to Kerian the Wise.
Alright, dragon. Go out and make me one socketed Bronze-Sandstone Armor Chest Scale, two Bronze-Sandstone Health Wing Scales with a dragon breath technique, and a few Prime Bolt spells. What're you staring at me for? Go!
- I... how?
You... you don't know how to socket or technique? You've never made a spell?! What are they teaching you these days in Skalkaar?! Useless nonsense, I imagine! Perhaps some propaganda from those 'neutral' factions - or shall I say the scared scoundrels who deny the tradition of ascending under the blessing of Lunus or Helian?! Grr!
- -- Continue --
Alright, alright... it looks like I need to take up the reigns of teaching you these... basics. First, I want you to gather what I need for a socket. Let's start there. Take this technique and go gather what's listed on it. Start with the Copper and Tin. I want you to make two, so get double.
[You have received a technique! Like formulas, you need to scribe techniques before using them. Right-click on it to scribe. You can find your list of scribed techniques in your Knowledge Book (default hotkey is K).]
Gather the materials and craft eight (8) Bronze Bars. The Copper and Tin veins are to the west of the town.
Game Feedback: You have created the bronze bars!
Good. Now, go create the Dim Essence Orbs you require.
- What is an Essence Orb, Elder?
By Drulkar... you don't know how to create Dim Essence Orbs? We need to throw Jemenoth back into the Realm of Fire at this rate! Hatchling, Dim Essence Orbs are crafted from Dim Essence itself. You harvest this essence from Dim Wisps. They are creatures of magic, roaming the countryside aimlessly.
- -- Continue --
On New Trismus, these wisps congregate at the base of the waterfall. Do you remember where you gathered Sandstone earlier? Go back there and follow the lake out to the waterfall. Glide off the cliff and you should see them and an Essence Channeler nearby. Go and gather the essence from the wisps and then condense it into orbs using this formula.
- They are living? Do I need to kill them?
No, you will not hurt the wisps. They screech at being touched, but don't be alarmed; the noise is normal. You'll get used to it. As long as you don't hit them with your claws too hard, they'll just float off and create more essence over time. Actually, be especially careful not to kill them - if you gather from their corpses, you'll get tainted essence, which is useless to us.
- -- Continue --
You now need to create Essence Orbs. Speak to Kerian the Wise for clarification on how to gather this resource.
While you are by the pond, craft forty-eight sandstone bricks. You will need them later and I imagine you will not want to run all the way back to the pond once you come back here.
Craft forty-eight (48) Sandstone Bricks.
Game Feedback: You have crafted the bricks!
Craft four (4) Dim Essence Orbs. Kerian the Wise told you that the Dim Essence is at the base of the waterfall on the south end of New Trismus, nearby the Sandstone.
Game Feedback: You have crafted four Dim Essence Orbs! Return to Kerian the Wise.
You have the materials, I see. Good. Now, I need you to use these resources and make a socket on two Sandstone Strength Chest Scales.
- How do I add the socket?
Return with Kerian the Wise with your Bronze Bars, Sandstone Bricks, and Dim Essence Orbs.
To add a technique to a scale - be it a socket like this or a more specialized technique - you must apply the materials when you are creating the scale. Not after! Some special techniques can be applied after the scale is made, but those are usually not very common. Go on now!
Create two (2) Sandstone Strength Chest Scales with the Armor Socketing technique. All formulas are available from Kerian if you have misplaced yours.
Game Feedback: You have created the scales! Well done! Return to Kerian the Wise.
Return to Kerian the Wise with your new scales.
Let me see these scales. Rounded edges, nice etchings, clear cuts... good. It's up to snuff for a first tier crafter. Here, you can keep this one - you'll need it in the future. Even if you don't have a fitting crystal now, I bet you'll find one soon. Now, let's get you learning about how to make other kinds of techniques.
