Description

If you're looking for an instructor, I'm sorry to say I... Ah, you're not an apprentice! My apologies. Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Custodian Vernagos, one of the caretakers of these ruins. More specifically, the task of restoring this workspace to its former glory has fallen upon my very tired shoulders.

Would you be able to lend a hand? All the reagents I need are nearby: ice elemental cores, embercones, hornswog leather...

Fairly standard, easily gathered stuff. What say you?

Rewards

You will receive:

• 26 91 48
• 7,850 XP
• +50 reputation with Valdrakken Accord
• +100 reputation with Kirin Tor

Progress

Fresh air and magical relics. What more could one ask for? Ha!

Completion

Thank you, <name>. The embercones will burn hot. The elemental cores will temper the heat. And this leather... is fairly disgusting. But the bellows they produce will more than suffice!

Now all I need is time.

Notes

On approach

Custodian Vernagos says: By the Titans! This old thing sure clings to its secrets...

Dormant Embercones are found around the camp, Hornswog Hide Scraps drop from Encroaching Hornswogs, and Frozen Core drop from Calving Elementals.

Upon completion

Custodian Vernagos says: Let's start by tossing a couple embercones in there...

Custodian Vernagos says: Aspects be praised, it worked!

Custodian Vernagos says: It will take me some time to forge the bellows and restore the rest of the workshop, but this is a fine start!
