Description

Well that took a little longer than expected. Now let me see what this ledger says.

<Narain silently reads the ledger, periodically mumbling under his breath.>

The good news is that I am 99% certain that I am capable of creating an arcanite buoy that will function to your specifications. This is, of course, wholly dependant on the bad news.

The bad news is that I'm going to need a lot of arcanite, elementium ore, and rare gemstones.

Bring me what I need and I will craft the buoy.

When you return

Arcanite buoys don't just make themselves, ‹name›. And NO, you cannot borrow some money.

On completion

A deal is a deal. I sure hope you know what you are getting yourself into, ‹name›. This is an awful lot of trouble to go through to do some fishing.
