Axetail Basilisk Matriarch
Beware of her tail. It's as sharp as a dragon's fang.

Objectives

Obtain the Axetail Basilisk Matriarch Scales.

•  [Axetail Basilisk Matriarch Scales]

Description

While leather armor is strong on its own, integrating scales into the design is what truly sets it apart.

The type of scales you use will determine how many you'll need to fully protect the wearer. And one of the strongest type of scales are basilisk scales.

A fully matured basilisk has the strongest of course. Near the village of Llothien is a basilisk den. Kill the matriarch and return her scales to me.

Rewards

You will learn the following: Recipe: Battlebound Leggings (Rank 2)

You will also receive:

• 18 60
• 16,170 XP

Progress

You may have to fight past a few of her brood to get to her.

Completion

The basilisk scale is thick. Even a thinned version of this is enough to repel any sword or spear attack.

That strength is what makes these scales so valuable to our craft.
