6Golden Scale Bracers

Description

When I was about your age, a dwarf by the name of Galvan took me under his wing and trained me in the ways of the armorsmith. Before he left for Booty Bay, he made me promise to train all those with the desire and determination to advance in the craft of blacksmithing -- so here I am -- all these years later.

So, now it's time for you to learn a little something. Make me six golden scale bracers and you will learn where smithing comes from, ‹name›.

Rewards

You will receive:

Plans: Golden Scale Gauntlets

Experience: 3,150

When you come back

Could you be the next Galvan protege?

When you hand it in

Very good, ‹name›! Listen and learn.

Blacksmithing never comes from here! <Hank points to his hammer.>

Blacksmithing never comes from here! <Hank points to the anvil.>

Blacksmithing only comes from here! <Hank points to his heart.>

And now you know the origin of blacksmithing.
