Elemental Workshop I


 * This article is about the quest. To see the dungeon, see Elemental Workshop (dungeon). For other uses, please see Elemental Workshop.

Elemental Workshop I is a quest in which you find a mysterious book in Seers' Village, guiding you along the discovery of a lost magical mineral - the elemental ore.

Bound Under Lock and Key
Head to Seers' Village and into the house immediately south-west of the bank, indicated by the quest start icon. Search the bookcase on the east wall to receive a book titled The Elemental Shield.

The book speaks about an an ore that was discovered in the Fifth Age, able to concentrate elemental energy into itself. Following this revelation, a workshop was created in Seers' Village, calling all craftsmen to invent new devices using this unique ore. Unfortunately, realising the destructive potential of the ore, the workshop had to be closed down, along with details of any processes involved destroyed.

Right-click and cut open the book to get a battered key, turning the tome into a slashed book. Enter the north building, with the anvil icon, and use the key on the odd-looking wall with the strange crack. Climb down the stairs you find there to enter a workshop.

Restarting
First, head into the northern chamber. Turn the valve handles of the water control on first the east and then the west side of the water wheel, and the indicators should turn green. Finally, pull the lever near the water wheel to jump-start it.

Next, head into the east chamber. With a spool of thread and leather in your inventory, fix the bellows. You can find a piece of leather in one of the crates in the central chamber. Once fixed, operate the bellows by pulling the lever to the north.

Head back to the middle chamber and search the smallest boxes in the north-east section, surrounded by a fence, until you find a stone bowl. Head south and fill the bowl with lava from the trough, emptying it into the unused furnace to the east.

Finally, head into the west cavern and attempt to mine an elemental rock. The rock springs to life, yells, and attacks you. Kill the earth elemental, picking up the elemental ore that it drops. You cannot use a familiar when fighting the elemental, or it will disappear.

A Lost Art
Return to the southern chamber and use the elemental ore, along with four coal, on the furnace to obtain an elemental bar. With the slashed book in your inventory, go back to the centre and use the elemental bar on the workbench to make a elemental shield.

If unable to craft the shield, destroy your slashed book and get a new one from the bookcase.

Congratulations, quest complete!
