Description

The tome contains a wealth of ancient vrykul recipes! Why, I could be the first alchemist in untold ages to craft one! How fortunate for you, friend {name}, that you are here to bear witness to my greatness! Awful kind of that Svena person to die and leave her book for us, eh? Silly vrykul...

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.

  • There's a Scribe for ThatLevel 10-45

    Fine! I admit, even my considerable intellect can't translate the strange tome you discovered. No doubt the water smears made it illegible. Say, one of those dimwitted scribes down the block owes me a favor. This sort of busywork is just his cup of tea.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Dormant BurnerLevel 10-45

    I've heard that someone over in the engineering shop is selling a burner that might be usable. You could likely negotiate a fairer price than I could! The shop is just across the street. I'll make a note on your map for you.
