Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'I am here to help you practice skills that will make you a more powerful Warden. 'A Warden is a master of sword, spear, shield, and javelin. He is also an excellent study of his enemies and will learn how an enemy can be toppled with the right combination of blows or how to strengthen his own heart for the battles to come. And battles will be plentiful, for a Warden seeks to defend those who cannot defend themselves by drawing the enemy's eye. HINT: Wardens use combinations of their basic skills such as Quick Thrust and Shield-bash to build more powerful Gambit attacks. To use your Deft Strike skill, attack a Training-Dummy with your Quick Thrust ability twice. This should cause your Gambit Default skill to change into your Deft Strike skill. Use your Deft Strike ability to strike a Training-Dummy. Background As you gain levels, you'll gain new abilities and grow into a more powerful Warden.
