Quest Log

A Steady Ballast

A Steady Ballast is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-60 in Drustvar. It is step 4 of 9 in the Corlain storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 31.2, 29.9. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

The Armory presents us a ripe opportunity, <class>... one I suggest we take.

If this battle were to draw out, we have little means to repair our arms and armor. A blacksmith is invaluable to any war effort, and Ballaster is one of our best.

The Armory is but a short ride from here. I suggest you get to Ballaster before it's too late!

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Weather EyeDrustvar · Level 20-60

    It would be wise to get a lay of the land before we put together a plan of action. Inquisitor Notley is an expert falconer, and a reliable scout. He utilizes an ancient relic to see through the eyes of his falcon, allowing him to survey great distances.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Precious MetalsDrustvar · Level 20-60

    <class>, I have another objective we should consider. The Bleak Hills Mine is not too far from our location. Though the miners there principally extract iron, they do on occasion find silver among the veins.
