Arcane Pedestal Quest

== Overview ==
== Walkthrough & Notes ==
=== Part 1: Acquiring the Gelidite Dais ===
# This quest's lore piece, , can be purchased from the Barkeeper in Glenden Wood, Qalaba'r or Zaikhal.
# In order to complete the production of the Arcane Pedestal, you will need to acquire a from the Gelidite Library, and also three Bronze Statue pieces. You can acquire these prior to retrieving the other parts to save a fair amount of running later.
# To acquire the Gelidite Dais, head to the main quest dungeon at 69.2N, 17.2W. Once inside, continue through to the second dungeon. At the four-way intersection, go through the north door and take the immediate first east hallway. Through the two doors, you'll find the Gelidite Dais beside the Oubliette Gatekeeper. Double-click the Dais to receive one in your inventory. 
=== Part 2: Bronze Gear, Coil and Spring ===
# To acquire the Bronze pieces from three different creature Statues, you will have to head to three different foundries. It's important to note that the parts need to drop off of a specific creature. If you try to turn in a Bronze piece that was dropped off of a creature not listed, Slithe Tradittor will refuse it.
#* Note: The Mammet Foundry is the most dangerous of the three, with numerous creature magic casters. It would be advisable to enlist the help of a friend to help keep the dungeon clear. Also note that the Bronze pieces are attuned, so they cannot be passed from one character to another.

=== Part 3: The Precarious Sojourn ===
# Go to Slithe Tradittor's cottage at 3.9N, 44.8E.
#* Route: From the Town Network, take the Aluvian (north) wing to Lytelthorpe. From there, run to the Osric Cottages portal at 2.2N, 50.5E.
# Talk to Slithe Tradittor to receive and , then go to the Precarious Sojourn portal at 2.3N, 0.8W outside of Al-Jalima.
#* Note: The quickest route is to take the Midsong Cottages portal outside of Al-Jalima at 5.7N, 4.3E.
#* Note: The Precarious Sojourn portal is found high atop a hill. You can climb up at 2.8N, 0.7W.
# At the Precarious Sojourn drop, run north until the final platform, then turn east. Continue until the second-last platform and head north again. Turn east at the next platform and continue until the end. At this point, turn south and jump onto the floating tower. You may wish to clear the platform of creatures before attempting the jump to avoid bouncing off of them (which may drop you to the ground, requiring you to make the trip to Precarious Sojourn a second time).

If you have neither, it's recommend you spend time to acquire both the Dais and three Bronze pieces before heading back, to save a somewhat lengthy run. The instructions to acquire these can be found at the top of this walkthrough.
