Tips
- Stock all crafting materials before starting — rosewood, adamantine, topaz, coal, and incense.
- Every craft step requires a pristine result or resources are lost.
- Selling your unfinished Wurmslayer forces a quest restart to reobtain it.
- The old man dialogue is sensitive — be cooperative or you'll restart the conversation.
- Do Kingdom of Sky heritage quests concurrently to minimize duplicate dungeon runs.

Quest Text
I've been given the task of searching for three drake scales for a young halfling squire. It seems his knight is quite the loafer, and can't be bothered to find the drakes and kill them on his own.
Completion
I've managed to persevere through all the ordeals required to reforge the weapon, and the Wurmslayer has become a truly amazing weapon.
