  1. Talk to The Tutor (door at (65, 49); outside around (67, 48) by day) and choose Talk about The Heart of Eldervale. He gives you the Village Charter.

  2. Go to the Cave and talk to Eric the miner near the entrance about the quest.

  3. Talk to Greg around (7, 18). He sends you to Ed for the lens.

  4. Take the east passage at (29, 20–21) into the Smith Room and talk to Ed. He gives you the Focus Lens.

  5. Bring 1 Iron Bar and 1 Silver Bar to Thomas in his smith house (door at (34, 9) in the Overworld). He forges the Ward Plate.

She takes 3 Red Berries and 1 Honey Jar and enchants the set. The components themselves stay with you.

Notes

  • Talking to The Tutor mid-quest gives a short reminder of the current step.
  • If you already own a component (in backpack or bank), that NPC skips the crafting and moves you on.
