Quest details

The Uninspired Blacksmith

Link to quest

Dramm looks utterly distressed and seems to be in a real bind. When you approach him, he is muttering to himself. He complains that he is completely devoid of any inspiration while trying to forge weapons alone.

Objectives

Talk to the uninspired Dramm

Completion

Dramm shares the tale of his close friend, Amery, a man who once worked the forge alongside him in the Abyssal Reach. Amery desperately wanted to become a master smith like Vronn, competing in numerous forging tournaments, yet he was always stopped short as the runner-up. Tragically, after one crushing defeat, he vanished without a trace, leaving Dramm wondering if his friend completely abandoned his forging dreams. Thinking back on this fills Dramm's heart with deep emotion; even if Amery is still alive, he must be weathered by old age by now, and they likely wouldn't even recognize each other if they met.

Progression

Requires: Deep Investigation
Unlocks: Recovering the Blueprint

Recovering the Blueprint

Link to quest

Something seems to be hidden near Brandrgarde's Exile Mines. Let's hope it can help Dramm spark his inspiration.

Objectives

Head to Brandrgarde's mining quarter and search for the forging blueprint

Completion

The Penitents are truly relentless nuisances. You barely managed to pry the blueprint and journal from their clutches, yet both items are already heavily ruined.

Progression

Requires: The Uninspired Blacksmith
Unlocks: The Fractured Records

The Fractured Records

Link to quest

Even though the journal and blueprint are ruined and battered, take them back to Dramm anyway.

Objectives

Talk to Dramm

Completion

You hand the recovered sketch and hand-written journal over to Dramm. Although the sword sketch is still barely legible, the parchment of the journal is severely damaged and blurred beyond recognition, causing Dramm's spirits to plummet. Seeing him completely helpless, you decide to seek out Dew to see if there is any way to fix this.

Dramm is at his wit's end; it seems your only choice left is to consult Dew for a solution.

Objectives

Talk to Dew

Completion

Dew suggests she might be able to channel memories from Gyldenblod and use them to reconstruct the journal's lost words. But where on earth can you find monsters that have crossed paths with this journal?

Progression

Requires: The Fractured Records
Unlocks: Retrieving the Gyldenblod

Retrieving the Gyldenblod

Link to quest

Gather some Gyldenblod from the Penitents of Brandrgarde and try to restore the journal.

Objectives

Kill 10 Penitent(s)

Completion

You have finally wrested Gyldenblod from the walking corpses. Let's hope it'll be enough to restore the journal's contents.

Progression

Requires: Gyldenblod Trail
Unlocks: Restoring the Journal

Restoring the Journal

Link to quest

Deliver the gathered Gyldenblod to Dew.

Objectives

Talk to Dew

Completion

Leveraging the power of the Gyldenblod, Dew successfully uncovers the missing text of the journal, unveiling Amery's past. Dew mentions she will transcribe the contents in full and leaves it to you to deliver the pages back to Dramm.

Progression

Requires: Retrieving the Gyldenblod
Unlocks: A Follower's Diary

A Follower's Diary

Link to quest

Against all odds, Dew actually uses the power of Gyldenblod to restore the journal's contents. But what exactly is that "tragic story" within? Go find Dramm to read it together.

Objectives

Talk to Dramm

Completion

Every single word in the journal is written in anguish. For a devout follower, having one's faith shattered must be the most brutal cruelty imaginable, especially when broken by the very person they revered the most.

Progression

Requires: Restoring the Journal
Unlocks: The Blade Endures, the Dream Lives On
