Kill the Stout Shoat

It is located just north of Arn's home in the field where the "red flowers" are, but it only spawns at night.

There may be a 2 chev place holder in its place, be patient and keep killing it till it spawns.

Find Bootlegger's Brew

Engstad won't talk to you unless you bring him a bottle of Bootleggers' Brew and you will also be required to slay 10 smugglers in Central Viens. Go to CV1 and find "Bootleggers", the brew is not a guaranteed drop so you may have to farm some.

Engstad's requests








Find Paytyr

Take the bottle of Bootlegger's Brew to Engstad, and he will continue the quest. You will need to go find Paytyr in Meadowlands. Take the road into Meadowlands from Northreach, and on the left side of the road shortly before the monolith you will see Paytyr standing in front of his house. He will want you to kill some Grassblade Mandrakes, they are in the field right behind his house.

Objectives in Dryfoot

After killing the Grassblade Mandrakes you will have to seek out Karlata in Redshore, and you will need to bring her some Basalisk scales from Dryfoot. Go to Dryfoot and farm basalisks until you have the 3 scales needed. Keep in mind you have to atleast kill one Basalisk in Dryfoot (even if you already have the scales or someone gives you some.)

Finding Karlata

Finding Karlata can be difficult. because she is just in the middle of the woods in Redshore. Here is how to find her easily:

  • Go into Redshore from Dryfoot (NW corner behind Vantessa's Camp)
  • Follow the road a pretty short distance (from the bottom of the stairs when you first hit the road, follow the road with the run buff for 55 seconds) until you come to the specific tree shown in the picture below. You will see a large tree covered in leaves, a bush next to it , and a log in the road right in front of it.

  • Once you get to this point turn due east and run into the woods, you should be able to see her almost right away standing in the distance.
