A Stone in the Setting (questline step)

A Stone in the Setting is a step of The Smith’s Secrets.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Questline	The Smith’s Secrets
Minimum level	4+
Feature requirement	Loot rarity on
Offered by	an armorer; offered at a town's notice board (Help wanted) and on the Quests tab

Objectives

Use the location names in your quest journal. Follow map markers when they are available.

Step	Objective	Optional
1	Set a gem in a socket	No
2	Tell the smith at the quest destination in the named town which stone you set	No

Outcomes

Added gear requires a successful quest payment and a qualifying outcome. Quest mail alone does not count as payment.

Outcome	Gold multiplier	Gear choice
You set a stone in your gear, and the smith paid for the lesson learned.	100%	Yes
The smith found someone else to teach.	No added payment	No

With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.

Next step: Tempered Again.

Scripted gold

Payment	Base amount (gold)
Gold payment	100–200

These are the script’s unscaled payment ranges, before the outcome multiplier and any party split. A payment still requires its quest objective or branch; the listed payments are not automatically awarded together.
