Description

On to other matters. I have a package that I need delivered.

A young lady came by our town not long ago, looking for compressed blasting powder, a tempered mithril bomb casing, and some safety goggles. Naturally, we had plenty of blasting powder and bomb casings to sell her, but the safety goggles were a little harder to find.

Long story short, I've got the goggles, but she's already returned to her studies down in Lethlor Ravine. Will you bring these down to her?

Goblins (and engineers) crack me up. Who else can we trust to blow things up without any regard for personal safety.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Easily SwayedBadlands · Level 15-30

    The most immediate threat to Fuselight is, without argument, the colony of ogres to the northwest. Most of our ogre neighbors used to be warrior-types, but it seems that more and more of them are practicing magic. I won't have an army of ogre-magi at my doorstep.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • First Sample: Wild EggsBadlands · Level 15-30

    I am experimenting with black dragons. Specifically, I am interested in how they procreate. My current experiments require plenty of black dragon eggs, which is why I am here in Lethlor Ravine. I'd gather the eggs myself, but I think you'll benefit from helping me out.
