First Blood (questline step)

First Blood is a step of The Herald’s Call.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Questline	The Herald’s Call
Minimum level	6+
Play mode	Online
Offered by	the Arena's Herald; 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	Win a bout in the Arena in Daggerfall (the Herald at the Arena's gate opens the Ladder)	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 drew first blood on the Arena's sand, and the Herald paid the first purse.	100%	Yes
The Herald's call went out to other blood.	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: A Name in the Sand.

Scripted gold

Payment	Base amount (gold)
Gold payment	200–400

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.
