Quest text[edit]
Sadie tells you, That bow you're holding is looking pretty ragged. I imagine it's the same as the one you got on Spirit Isle, or something you picked up or put together? By this time, you can get a better one. Every five ranks into your class, you can upgrade your weapon.
- Where do I get a new one?
Sadie tells you, Depends! For the majority of your journey, you may be able to pick one up from a Militia Surplus Officer. They also sell armor. You may also craft it yourself, or have another gifted craft it for you, or even repair it from broken pieces of weaponry you find from chests and creatures such as ogres. Crafted and repaired weaponry can even be improved through the use of techniques.
- Sounds complicated.
Sadie tells you, It can be at first. For now, let us just get you a simple improved bow. Go speak to Officer Frelic and see if he has one in store for you. If you don't remember, he is in the square, roaming the curved armory building.
Frelic tells you, Ah - you again. Did you come to buy something from me?
- Well... no. Sadie sent me to get a new bow, but she didn't give me any coin.
Frelic tells you, By Istara's grace! *Sigh* I swear these trainers are going to run me out of business. I can't keep giving out free weapons! I'll bother Sadie later... Say, I can justify giving you an even better bow if you do me a simple favor.
- And what is that?
Frelic tells you, I need wood for my axe handles and my bows, but the fletchers and blacksmiths aren't coming up with nearly enough. It's a bit of a run, but if you follow the path out of the southwest of town - the one that goes over the bridge - then you should eventually happen upon a forest with some treants. If you kill those, you should be able to get some wood from their corpses. Get me about... fifty, then come back here, and I'll give you a bow. Deal?
That should be enough wood for now. Return to Officer Frelic to get your bow.
Frelic tells you, Welcome back - do you have my wood? Ah! Perfect, thank you.
- And my bow?
Frelic tells you, Oh, yes. Here you are - a Cedar Composite Shortbow of Marksmanship! This is your only hand out! If you want anything else, you're going to have to buy it.
You have received 1 Cedar Composite Shortbow of Marksmanship.
Sadie tells you, I see you have a new bow! It looks far better than what you had before. Militia Surplus Officers will gladly sell you simple armor and weapons - so long as you cough up the coin, of course! It seems Frelic has given you something they don't usually sell. How kind! Though it will probably come out of my pocket... anyway, this, of course, will be good for now.
Steps[edit]
- Speak with Sadie.
- Find and speak to Officer Frelic at the armory in New Trismus Square.
- Find, defeat, and loot enough Sapling Cedar Treants to give fifty (50) Raw Cedar. The Sapling Cedar Treants are southwest of New Trismus town, along the road nearby the windmill and past the wolves you fought earlier.
- Return to Officer Frelic with the Raw Cedar.
- Return to Sadie.
