Here Be Monsters
The next portion of the story begins after a brief interlude where Clive and Jill return to the Hideaway to complete some Optional Quests and Hunts. Once you’re back at the Hideaway, there are a few quests to complete:
A Culinary Pilgrimage
Optional Quest
“Yvan, one of the cooks at the Tub & Crown, asks Clive to help him gather an important ingredient for something called Chancer’s Stew. Now he just has to work out what “unwonted violets” might be…”
Blacksmith’s Blues
Optional Quest
“August wants Clive to find out what’s been troubling Blackthorne. While the surly blacksmith isn’t usually a big talker, August thinks he might open up to Clive.”
The reward for completing the “Blacksmith’s Blues” quest is the 
Drakeslayer Gear Design Draft, which allows you to craft Drakeslayer Gear. Unfortunately, you don’t have the materials required to craft it just yet, so while you’ve completed the first step, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get the actual gear itself. You’re currently missing 
Electrum and Gelatinous Mass (and only have one 
Scarletite).
Assuming you’ve completed all of the available Optional Quests and Hunts, you should have enough 
Renown for the next reward at 
The Patron’s Whisper:
