Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• AntifogmaticThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

  Machine speakers have no love for fog beasts. Where there is fog, rust is sure to follow. Still, I'd prefer not to harm them. Arbauch always said it was bad luck. Take this device. The glands you collected should provide enough power to disperse the fog without hurting the fog beasts within.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Undoing the DamageThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

  Apologies. Arbauch was not here for repairs--he stole that golem. Arbauch and I worked alongside it for years in the darkest reaches of the Deeps. The work took its toll on the golem. It became erratic, dangerous even. We planned to decommission it, but when the time came, Arbauch couldn't bear it.
