Your gear isn't looking too great from your last excursion. Speak to Quartermaster Richter to get it repaired.

Wonderful. Valorstones are capable of upgrading lower-level equipment on their own. That being said, Valorstones can only do so much. More powerful equipment will also require Ethereal Crests to upgrade to their full potential. These crests are rewarded through many different activities. Ethereal Crests have four tiers, and more dangerous tasks reward you with higher-tier crests. Bring me fifteen Weathered Ethereal Crests, and we can help you upgrade some gear further.

If it's ale ye be looking for, we've plenty to sample! Or at least we would if the dracthyr folk would hurry up and bring the rest of the barrels down here. Some o' the dracthyr folk have come to celebrate here with us and decided to help transport the ale. Rolling barrels? That's no way to treat a good brew! Mind lending a hand to bring those barrels over to Kharanos? And try not to break 'em!

Drat! I might've made a mistake asking the dracthyr to help with these deliveries. They've been rolling barrels of brews and crashing 'em all over the place! Well, we shouldn't let the brew go to waste if we can help it! Take a barrel an' take to the skies! Try to collect and save as much of the brew as you can by collecting the bubbles.

Excellent choice! I'm looking forward to what you do next. Take this riding mount. It'll help you get around here faster.

If you ever find yourself lost, use your Hearthstone to get yourself back to where you should be.

Before you head off, you'll want to get yourself a Hearthstone. This little stone will return you to the inn where you last bound it to. It's not much of an "inn", but the explorer's have a tent set up. Test out that new mount of yours and ride over to Happy Hal. He'll get you sorted out with a Hearthstone.

It's time for us to part ways. I have pressing business further within the Dragon Isles in a place called the Azure Span. Toddy Whiskers of the Dragonscale Expedition could use your help. Safe travels, adventurer. I look forward to our next meeting!

Ah, ye're here! Brewfest is here and we've got a small problem. We can't have a proper feast without the food, but some pesky hozen thought it'd be fun to steal our bags of grub. I'm sure they're just lookin' to fill their own bellies, but it's messin' up our plans! So here's what I need ye to do: hunt down those hozen and take back the bags they've snatched. There's a good chance ye'll find a few bags just sittin' on the ground too. When ye return, just add the recovered bags to that wagon back there.

The feast won't come together without those ingredients!

Ah, I can smell the pretzels from here. Ye've cooked up a spread that'll keep even the pickiest dwarves satisfied!

Now that ye've gathered the materials, we can get to cookin'! We'll need plenty o' food for the whole crowd. We've got a short but sweet menu: Barley Soup, Pretzels, and of course a good ol' brew! Are ye ready to learn the ropes?

I'd say ye've earned yerself a nice break and a brew after all of yer hard work. But don't get too relaxed! There's still plenty to do to keep Brewfest runnin'!

Ye've done well in the kitchen, now it's time to learn how to serve! Brewfest isn't just about food--it's about makin' sure everyone has a good time. Ye'll be takin' orders, deliverin' dishes, and pourin' drinks with a smile. Get out there and show 'em how it's done. Brewfest won't run without good service!

Adventurer, can you hear me? I've discovered a smaller titan device, the Durable Information Storage Container, which can fit on yer belt. I've deduced they'll be able tae play smaller titan discs, granting ye boons ye can use anywhere. Each of these devices need a jump start. If ye kick up enough dust in these delves it should generate a spark that the device will detect and collect. It should be enough tae power it for yer lifetime.

The machine continues in its duties once again. Thank you again for your assistance.

Glad to see that delivery in one piece!

Thank ye kindly for the help. Now if I can just convince the dracthyr to simply fly the barrels here instead of rolling 'em...

The Dragon Isles is a dangerous and uncharted place. We'll need to get you prepared. You're strong enough now that you should choose a combat specialization. This will unlock a new array of abilities for you to face the dangers within the Dragon Isles. Go ahead and choose your combat specialization.

Ah, ye've done it! The cooks will be pleased.
