More Than Meets the Eye | Greeting Text You've heard of the Frost Wolves, no doubt. The rumors say they're guarding something precious, but I believe there's more to it. My work with potions and alchemy has taught me that nothing is ever as simple as it seems. These wolves are just another puzzle to solve. I need you to investigate what they're keeping from us. If there's something powerful hidden away, it could hold the answers to many questions... perhaps even questions I never wanted to ask. Completion Text Impressive. You've uncovered more than I anticipated. The wolves were indeed guarding something of great value, something that could aid my studies. As I suspected, there's more to this world than science can explain. You've done well, but we're not finished. I'll need time to study what you found—come back when I've made some progress. | Explore Ice Cavern Wolf Cave module (1x) (must escape) | 50 Unique Gold Coin 3 Uncommon Potion of Invisibility 3 Uncommon Potion of Protection 25 Experience 25 Affinity | |
The Kobold's Chemistry | Complete Quest: "More Than Meets the Eye" | Greeting Text I've always been intrigued by the Ice Kobolds. Their adaptability, their strange tenacity... it's more than mere survival—it's something we can learn from. Their biology, their resistance to the cold, could unlock new alchemical properties. What I need from you is to search their territory—there may be something in their environment, or even within their own flesh, we can use. Their blood, their marrow, perhaps even their mucus. Completion Text Excellent. What you've uncovered is fascinating. The Kobolds are far more than just beasts—they're carriers of hidden potential. This reminds me of another experiment I need to conduct. Visit me when you have the time. | Kill Ice Kobold Axeman in Ice Cavern dungeon (2x) Kill Ice Kobold Archer in Ice Cavern dungeon (2x) | 50 Unique Gold Coin 1 Uncommon Ring of Finesse 1 Uncommon Falchion 25 Experience |
Oh Brother | Complete Quest: "The Kobold's Chemistry" | Greeting Text You know, my brother, the Surgeon, has never forgiven me for abandoning traditional medicine. He still believes in the old ways, as if stitching up the body can heal the soul—curses, for example. I learned that lesson too late. Our mother died in agony, and I was powerless to help. That's when alchemy called to me—its promise of real power, of true healing. I need these potions, not just for myself, but to show him the way forward. He'll see the truth eventually... even if I have to make him understand the hard way. Completion Text Good. This is only the beginning, but it's a step in the right direction. My brother's methods are futile, bound by the limitations of the past. Alchemy has no such boundaries. I can feel it working already. The potions, the combinations—each one brings us closer to something greater. He may not see it now, but I will show him the power we could wield if he just opened his eyes. | Fetch Potion of Healing (any rarity) (1x) Fetch Potion of Protection (any rarity) (1x) Fetch Potion of Invisibility (any rarity) (1x) | 50 Unique Gold Coin 2 Common Wolf Pelt 1 Uncommon Frost Amulet 25 Experience 25 Affinity |
