Description[edit]

Sshranu offered to teach you how to create vials of venom. But this generosity has a cost.

Quest text[edit]

Sshranu noticed that <player> was carefully watching Sshranu when this one was preparing the Vials of Weak Poison. Was <player> trying to discover Sshranu's secrets?

  • Hehe, I admit I was curious to know how to craft them.

Good, good! Always watch the masters! Learn all that one can from the masters. Sshranu can teach <player> how to create more vials of poison. But Sshranu is very busy. Sshranu is always busy! Tsorash ordered Sshranu a batch of potions to help the militia to fight fyakkis at the Barricade.

<player> wants a lesson? Then <player> will help Sshranu with this one's order! Does that one agree?

  • Errr... yes, I guess...


By Kaasha's name, a bit more enthusiasm! So, craft and bring Sshranu ten Bolster Health Potions I and ten Ginesh's Thickened Skin Potions I. <player> needs to craft the potions by oneself, not to buy them from a consigner! Sshranu will know, so this one shouldn't try to cheat Sshranu.

Step: Craft Bolster Health Potions I and Ginesh's Thickened Skin Potions I for Sergeant Tsorash's order. Sshranu sells the formulae if you need them.

If <player> doesn't have the required formulae, Sshranu sells them. And no, Sshranu won't give, this one needs to run a shop too.


Step: Craft ten (10) Bolster Health Potions I

If <player> doesn't have the required formulae, Sshranu sells them. And no, Sshranu won't give, this one needs to run a shop too.


Step: Craft ten (10) Ginesh's Thickened Skin Potions I

If <player> doesn't have the required formulae, Sshranu sells them. And no, Sshranu won't give, this one needs to run a shop too.

Game Feedback: You have crafted all the potions Sshranu needed. Return to its shop in Sslanis.

Game Feedback: You have crafted sufficient Bolster Health Potions I.

Game Feedback: You have crafted sufficient Ginesh's Thickened Skin Potions I.

<player> has returned. Show Sshranu the potions!

Yes, yes... the solution is stable. Components were properly heated and there is no residue. Potions seem potent. Sshranu is satisfied: <player> is skilled and has a bright future as Alchemist.

  • Thank you, master.

Hehe, <player> learns fast, yes? But now, <player> needs to bring Tsorash the potions: Zhessix destroyed Zhessix's laboratory with an explosion again and Zhessix must clean the mess right now! So, Sshranu doesn't have an available assistant to bring the potion to the Barricade.

  • I will go.



Step: Deliver the potions to Sergeant Tsorash at the Barricade which is located along the road northwest of Sslanis, south of the community of Parsinia and west of the community of Nuthala.

Excellent. Maybe Sshranu should take <player> as an assistant too. This one will teach <player> after the delivery at the Barricade.

Welcome Gifted. What can Tsorath do for that one?

  • I bring the potions you have ordered to Sshranu.

Step: Return to Sshranu with the money

Oh, just in time. Tsorath only had a couple of potions left for the warriors. Give Sshranu this one's thanks with this payment.

<player> did what this one asked. Share the coin? <player> will be rewarded with knowledge, this is more valuable than coins. So Sshranu keeps the purse.

Good, Sshranu promised, so Sshranu will teach now. Of course, <player> needs to bring the components for the potions. The formula requires Dim Tensile Suspension, Ground Malachite and Dim Essence Orbs. Sshranu has a large stock of vials and water, so <player> doesn't have to bother with them.


Step: Acquire the components required for the formula

And of course, <player> will need more Venom Glands from these Tamed Venomous Biter.


Step: Craft five (5) Dim Tensile Suspensions

And of course, <player> will need more Venom Glands from these Tamed Venomous Biter.


Step: Craft twelve (12) Ground Malachite samples

And of course, <player> will need more Venom Glands from these Tamed Venomous Biter.


Step: Craft ten (10) Tainted Dim Essence Orbs

And of course, <player> will need more Venom Glands from these Tamed Venomous Biter.


Step: Loot three (3) Venom Gland from Tamed Venomous Biters in Sslanis Jungle

And of course, <player> will need more Venom Glands from these Tamed Venomous Biter.

Game Feedback: You should have enough components now. Return to Sshranu's shop.

<player> brought some fine components. Sshranu has written a formula while <player> was away. Please, follow instructions carefully, especially about the heating and filtering. <player> wouldn't want to have a cauldron full of potent poison exploding to this one's face, right? Sshranu will now give the formula and the missing components. <player> must have enough room in inventory!

  • I am ready.



Step: Craft two (2) Rubs of Weak Poison

To the cauldron, and show Sshranu <player>'s skill.

Game Feedback: You follow carefully Sshranu's instructions on the formula. The Sslik masters its art and clearly explains what to do. You finally pour the final solution in the vials and the potions are ready. This was easier than you expected.

Show me fast! Mmmh... mmmh... excellent! <player> has created nearly perfect potions at first try. Sshranu is very proud. Sshranu is now old, but Sshranu can see Istaria has some young and brilliant Alchemists for the time Sshranu's inheritance will come.

By the way, Sshranu took time to study the venom glands <player> had brought to this one previously. They aren't significantly different from the other venomous crawlers' glands from Sslanis Jungle. Sshranu thinks <player> is experienced enough to use the glands from any venomous crawlers of the jungle to prepare the potion. Continue to learn and progress, <player>, that one will always be welcome in Sshranu's shop.
