Quest text[edit]

Acquire five (5) mandrake roots. You can either gather them by yourself or trade them with another player or a consigner.

Hello <player>, what brings you to Feladan today? You have an interest in mandrake? A rare root, that is true! Find some and then return here to me.

Game Feedback: You've gathered sufficient mandrake root!


Return to Estelwen in Feladan with the Mandrake Root

Ah, you found some mandrake. That's quite an unusual root, you know, and not one traditionally used in cooking due to the dangers involved. Not that any of that matters to the Gifted, of course! Fiends and dragons can enjoy it safely, but remember, anyone else is taking their chances! I can teach you to prepare it once I finish this order for Mera in Kion. I could use a hand if you have a few minutes.


Speak with Estelwen

Oh, you were expecting that, were you? Heh. It's just my nature to draft people who walk into my kitchen at the wrong time. This should actually be fairly easy. Mera is having a party and asked me to make a dish called Kitten Dreams for it. She got the recipe from a Gifted friend of her named Nemesaris. One of the main ingredients is mackerel, and I don't have nearly enough on hand.

If you could get me 25 servings of raw, unprocessed mackerel, I'll get you a copy of the recipe for Kitten Dreams along with the mandrake recipe. Thank you so much!

Game Feedback: Wait - did she just draft you into running errands for her?


Acquire 25 raw mackerel and take them to Estelwen in Feladan.

Those look perfect! Give me a minute to finish this and wash up.


Wait for Estelwen to finish with Mera's order.

Game Feedback: It looks like Estelwen is finished now.


Speak to Estelwen and collect your recipes

Thank you for all your help! Mera is going to be delighted, I'm sure. Now, let me get the recipes you wanted. You're in luck today! I also found an herb jelly recipe that uses mandrake, courtesy of my friend Zeevie. Zeevie never told me where it came from, but I think it's Fiendish in origin. Enjoy it, and let me know if you find any other rare seasonings out there!
