Quest text

I want you to make a regular malachite-tipped dragon claw. Simple enough, isn't it? A claw is a powerful aid. On its own, it doesn't help you rend your foes any better than your regular claws already do. It simply protects your claws and provides a vessel for you to upgrade them with magic without imbuing your scales directly.

That being said, I ask you to get on with making that claw now. Malachite can be found in the mine near the sandstone. Simply run past the pond where the sandstone is and you should see the mine from there. Of course, if you can't remember this, you can also go talk to Pratt for a reminder.

You have received 1 Formula: Beginner Lesser Gem-Tipped Dragon Claws.

You have created 1 Malachite Tipped Dragon Claw.

The claw is finished! Return to Kerian.

Welcome back. Hold onto that claw; I know what you are thinking. "Wow Kerian, that was a very easy task for such a skilled hatchling such as I! What is the twist?" There is a twist, young one, but not much of one. You see, not all techniques are applied on an item before you create it. Some techniques are special and may be applied after the item is already put together. Impressive, is it not?

It takes a very skilled crafter to make these techniques and some may not be crafted at all and are simply shards of unique magic you may be handed in return for doing tasks for others in the future. I want you to test this magic for yourself first before you are exposed to it out in the world. Take this technique and combine it with your claw.

(Drag and drop the technique onto your claw.)

You have received 1 Dragon Claw Tech Kit: Sharper I.

My, my, <player>! Av'rizel to you, Elder. It has been a long time since I've seen your scales and not in such magnificent scale! If you are able to help me with crafting, please, I would welcome your assistance. Otherwise, I need to focus on my orders - my apologies.

Good, good. Now, you see how the magic on the item is taking a liking to you? This is normal. Once you wear this claw, it will be bound to your being - your very soul. You cannot give it away and others cannot give it to you. You can destroy it, but what good is there in that? Be wary what you wear if you plan to give it away.

That is now truly all I can teach you, little one. If you wish to help me with my chores, then please, stick around. If not, well, I mean this with all politeness but please, scram.
