Description

I could spend hours poring over the details of this fascinating manuscript! ...is what I would say if this weren't the simplest of tasks for someone of my skill level. It's about something called "Leysmithing". Here. <The gnome scribbles down a translation on the back of the scroll.> There it is, word-for-word. Bring me something interesting next time.

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.

  • Chicken ScratchLevel 10-45

    I think I have just the thing to extract the information from this core for you. <Timofey loads the core into the hopper of a clearly goblin-made machine, then covers his ears.> You may wish to avert your eyes, blacksmith.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Nature ProvidesLevel 10-45

    This is interesting, it says that leystone reacts violently with anything it views as a contaminant. Our foreign-mined flux was enough to cause the small explosion. Local ingredients, however, have learned to coexist with leystone.
