Ranger Starter Quest (Night Harbor)

Overview

New Rangers deliver a Notice of Recruitment from Fedamius Steele III to Foss Dunestrider along the western wall, then prove their fieldcraft by gathering reagents from the creatures outside the city: bat wings, a fire beetle eye, a snake venom sac, and Multhele Root. A second errand testing blood samples from diseased wildlife follows, ending with a Steel Talons Scout Tunic.

Part 1 — Reporting to the Garrison (Level 1)

  1. You start with a Notice of Recruitment ordering you to report to the Steel Talons Martial Academy on the southwest side of Night Harbor.
  2. Find Fedamius Steele III watching the courtyard from his post on the wall above, and hand him the notice. He sends you (with the same note) to find Foss Dunestrider in one of the wall towers.
  3. From the top of the Wayfarer's Hospice north of the west gate, follow the wall south until you find Foss Dunestrider above the west gate. Hand him the notice.
  4. Foss hands you a Steel Talon Trainee Tunic and sets a fieldcraft test: bring back a light source from a nearby creature, a reagent from a bat, a venom gland from a young snake, and a Multhele Root.

Part 2 — Fieldcraft Test

  1. In the noob yard below the garrison, kill snakes, fire beetles, and desert bats until you loot an Immature Snake Venom Sac, a Fire Beetle Eye, and a Bat Wing (or buy them instead).
  2. Pick up a bag of Multhele Root from under one of the docks just east of the garrison.
  3. Return all four items to Foss Dunestrider. Impressed, he asks for a follow-up favor: he suspects the Ashira aren't just a nuisance but are suffering from some sickness, and wants blood samples from other diseased creatures to compare. He hands you a Small Test Kit and asks for blood from a diseased bat, rat, snake, and jackal.

Part 3 — Diseased Blood Samples

  1. Head to the cave entrance toward Wyrmsbane and kill a diseased bat, diseased rat, diseased snake, and diseased jackal until you loot Diseased Bat Blood, Diseased Rat Blood, Diseased Snake Blood, and Diseased Jackal Blood.
  2. Combine all four bloods in the Small Test Kit to seal them into a pouch, then bring the sealed pouch to Foss Dunestrider. He gives you a note in return.
  3. Take that note along with your Steel Talon Trainee Tunic to the garrison quartermaster to trade them in for the Steel Talons Scout Tunic (3 AC / 5 HP / 1 DEX), completing the quest.
