Steal the White-Gold Tower
Naril Heleran turned up again in Ebonheart looking to collaborate on another "business venture." He wants me to procure a bottle of White-Gold Tower from an innkeeper.
A shady character named Naril Heleran contacted me in Ebonheart. He said we could both profit if I could "procure" a rare and expensive bottle of White-Gold Tower for him.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Speak to Naril Heleran.
  2. Go to The Ebony Flask.
  3. Speak with the tavern prostitutes to learn more about the innkeeper, Fedrasa Andrethi.
  4. Pick a method to distract her with.
  5. Steal the bottle while she is distracted.
  6. Return to Naril Heleran.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Go out with a bang using Flash Powder

Meet with Naril Heleran in the middle of Ebonheart, who will tell about yet another profitable business deal he has in mind.

"Ah, my business partner. I've located another rare and valuable vintage here in Ebonheart.
Are you willing to acquire it for me?"
Sounds interesting.
"There's a bottle of White-Gold Tower here in Ebonheart. The war wizard who owns it retired to this town and opened an inn.
Fedrasa Andrethi took the bottle off the battlefield. Now it's gathering dust in her private reserve."
Who is she?
"She was a decorated soldier in the Ebonheart Pact. Now she tends to guests at the Ebony Flask.
Her nightflower servants probably know her best. If you want to know how to get that bottle, talk to one."
That wine will be yours.

Amil the Deft can be found leaning against the balcony, and will tell you that Fedrasa Andrethi's experiences in the war has made her very jumpy. A nearby alchemist happens to make rather loud bangs in their work, which make Fedrasa Andrethi jump. Next talk to Bameli the Pure to learn that her employer loathes lizards, something she might have picked up in the war.

Now you have to decide which of the two weaknesses to exploit: a soldier's shell-shock or reptilian repulsiveness. If you choose to use Flash Powder, you will need to enter the Redoran House south of the inn. The powder is in the drawer in the back of the house. Take it to the inn and use Flash Powder on the fireplace. Fedrasa Andrethi will run out, momentarily believing herself to be back on the frontlines, yelling at soldiers that aren't there. If you choose to use lizards, many passive lizards can be found to the north of the inn, east of Zasha-Ja's House. Pick one up and take it to the inn. Throw it on the floor and Fedras Andrethi will not be a happy bunny. She will summon a Spectral Cat that proceeds to chase the poor lizard around the inn.

Once you've used the distraction to steal the bottle of White-Gold Tower, return to Naril Heleran who will be very satisfied with your work.

"What's that distinctive bottle I see peeking from your pack?"
I have it.
"Masterfully done. Truly a procurement worthy of praise ... and reward!
It's an honor and a privilege doing business with you, friend."

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
