Outward

Hey there! So you want to learn how to make that Crystal Powder, huh? It's a pretty straightforward alchemy recipe in Outward, and it's a great way to get some useful potions and silver by repeating the quest. Let's get you set up.

First things first, you'll need to grab the quest from Helmi the Alchemist. You can find her right in the town center of Cierzo. She'll task you with crafting some Crystal Powder, which means you'll need an alchemy kit and, more importantly, four Mana Stones.

Where to find Mana Stones:

• Cheresone Region: Your best bet is to look around Conflux Mountain. It's packed with them.
• Blister Burrow: This nearby cave is another reliable spot.
• Enemy Drops: Keep an eye out for troglodytes – they sometimes drop Mana Stones when defeated.

Don't worry if you can't find all four right away; these are common enough that you'll likely stumble upon them as you explore.

Once you've gathered your four Mana Stones, it's time to get crafting. You'll need to set up an alchemy kit near a campfire. Just grab the kit from your inventory and place it down. Then, open the alchemy kit menu. You'll see a few empty slots – just pop one Mana Stone into each of the four slots.

After you craft your first batch of Crystal Powder, the recipe will be added to your permanent craft panel, which is super handy. This quest is also repeatable! Just wait a few days, head back to Helmi in Cierzo, and she'll give you the task again. Each time you complete it, she'll reward you with potions and some silver.

Alright, so you've picked up a quest from Doran back in Cierzo. He wants you to take a ledger all the way to Berg, which is in the Enmerkar Forest region. Don't worry, it's a pretty straightforward delivery quest, and it's repeatable, so you can do it again later if you want!

When you get to Berg, you're looking for another shopkeeper named Pleel. The map shows her location pretty clearly – head to the northeastern part of the city. Just look for the marker on your map, you can't miss it.

Once you find Pleel, just chat with her and select the dialogue option 'I’d like to talk'. She'll take the ledger right away, and you'll get your reward.
