Item(s) required to start, progress or finish the quest:
Malachite Golem Core

To truly test your ability at self protection and the toughness of your scales, Gerix has sent you to face down a tough enemy that is found on the slopes of the Kion Volcano.

Quest text[edit]

Toughness, youngling, that is the key to a dragon's survival. You have heard the phrase "thick as a Dragon's hide", yes? The ability to have a thick hide, and I don't mean that figuratively.

I am ready to learn

Yes, you are quite enthusiastic, a commendable trait. As it happens, I am in need of certain rare items and you are in need of training. A fortuitous coincidence, wouldn't you agree?

I don't understand

Do not worry, <player>, I was merely musing about fate. The best way to learn to become tougher is to face tough enemies. Therefore, I want you to travel to the high slopes of the volcano here above Kion and test yourself against the Malachite Golems that roam the slopes.

Is that all?

Not quite. I am also in need of something from those very same golems - their cores. Gather me eight elemental cores from the malachite golems and return here to me. To reach the golems travel south past the lava flows, until you see the stone circle. Turn west into the forest and then eventually you will come to a path north that leads up the slopes. Above the mine you will find the golems we both seek.

Well done, <player>. These cores will be quite useful... What are they for? Well, do not worry yourself over that at this time. Now, I believe I promised to train you how to toughen your hide in exchange for your efforts, did I not?

Steps[edit]

Speak with BattleMaster Gerix
Collect eight (8) Malachite Golem Cores from the Malachite Golems found on the slopes of the Kion Volcano. To reach them, travel south out of Kion past the lava flows until you reach the stone circle. Turn west into the forest until you find a path that leads north up the slope of the mountain. Above the mine shaft is where you will find the malachie golems.

-Gerix tells you, Toughness, youngling. That's the key to a dragon's survival. The ability to have a thick hide. And I don't mean that figuratively. The best way I know of testing your toughness is to face a truly aggressive enemy. Go kill twenty of the Brownsnout Gruoks. Not just the little wild ones, those are too easy and you won't have to worry about how soft your scales are against them. I want you to go after the ones that can really charge and do some damage to your tender hide!  You will find them in the Greenridge Mountains.
-You have vanquished the enemy!  Return to Gerix for training..
+Yes, you are quite enthusiastic, a commendable trait. As it happens, I am in need of certain rare items and you are in need of training. A fortuitous coincidence, wouldn't you agree?
-Gerix tells you, Well done, <player>. Perhaps you are able to follow orders after all. Next you will learn of resilience, young one, and grow. I can not teach you further how to protect yourself, however. You must seek out a trainer in Dralk to learn more.
