Quest text[edit]

Ssaulios tells you, You... Yes, you there. You have mandrake root in your bag, do you not? Let me see that a moment.

Ssaulios tells you, Ah, yes. Ssaulios could smell mandrake from half a world away. You see, it is a bit of a hallucinogen to both dragon and sslik alike. Just one of the many things we have in common with our dragon ancestors. But that's a tale for another day. Would you be interested in learing how to refine that into a most tasty dessert?

Ssaulios tells you, Ssaulios thought you might. You see, if carefully prepared, it can be made to in such a way that anyone can consume it. Just us sslik and dragons which need not concern ourselves with the effects and can consume as much as we'd like. But to give you the recipe, not only will you have to collect the proper ingredients so that I might make some for myself, but I will need a favor from you.

Ssaulios tells you, If you collect the ingredents, I'll make up the first batch of Snap Dragon and you can deliver it to Clerash in Chiconis for me. Yes, I admit, I am trying to gain favor with the dragons there. We had a bit of a falling out some months back and I've been nervous about visiting ever since. However, if you would go there on my behalf, you could see if perhaps they are willing to forgive my little indiscretion. And don't worry about processing the mandrake. I'll prepare that correctly for what I need.

Ssaulios tells you, So here, this is the list of what I need. I need Sweetend Condensed Milk, Red Wine, Rubbed Mint, Ground Mandrake, Honey and some Sugar. All the quantities are listed here. You need not prepare them, I'll do that. And once you have delivered the finished product to Clerash, we'll talk about getting you the recipe.

Ssaulios tells you, Ah, so you have everything I need, yes? Give me a bit here. I just have to soak the mandrake in the milk for a bit to remove the toxins.

Ssaulios tells you, Here, take this to Clerash. Let him know I made it special.

You have received 1 Rare Dessert: Snap Dragon.


Clerash tells you, From Ssaulios you say? Oh, yes, I remember him well. The stories I could tell you! Well, I suppose no harm done, not really. And yes, this, what did you call it, Snap Dragon? It is quite tasty indeed. Tell Ssaulios that if he were to bring along enough for all, he may return to Chiconis.


Ssaulios tells you, How was your little mission then? A success! Ah yes. Wonderful. Ssaulios shall return just as soon as possible to Chiconis and bring plenty of Snap Dragon. Here is the formula as promised.

Steps[edit]

  • Gather for Ssaulios the following items for his Snap Dragon recipe: 1 unit Sweetened Condensed Milk, 2 unit of Red Wine, 2 unit of Rubbed Mint, 4 Unprocessed Mandrake, 4 units of Honey, 4 units of Sugar. Return to Ssaulios when you have all the items.
  • Speak to Ssaulios again for your Snap Dragon sample to deliver.
  • Take the sample of Snap Dragon to Clerash in Chiconis with well wishes from Ssaulios.
