Description

Alright, <name>; the time has come for you to climb inside this thing and learn how to use its basic abilities. When you're ready, get on the work bench and I'll get you situated inside the construct.

Your first lesson is going to be using the construct's transportation system. You'll notice that the iron dwarves have set up special rune carvings around the dig site. Their constructs use those rune carvings to power up and fly from point to point. Try it with the rune carving I built here.

okay, there's three quests in a chain: after you use the bench to enter the mechanical vehicle, you will have a single ability button: if it's Jump, you go stand on an orange rune and Jump. if it's Collect data, you go stand by the wagon w/ the blue gem by it and Collect. if it's Bluff you go target Lebronski on the other side of the campfire, and Bluff. after each quest, dismount the vehicle in order to turn in the quest and get the next one.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • We Have the TechnologyHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    While the infrastructure for a piece of machinery like this is important, we can't underestimate the appearance of the construct. If we're to fool the iron dwarves the clone must be exact! I can make this happen.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Iron Rune Constructs and You: Collecting DataHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    The most important part of your job while controlling the construct is the collection of data. I've placed an iron dwarf relic in the cart over yonder. It's the floating, lightning infused crystal. Get on the work bench and I'll put you back in the construct.
