OLD write-up:
Tobon Starpyre, the Wizard Guildmaster, wants you to collect four spare telescope lenses from four observatories around the Steamfonts.
He gives you a rolled up note with the names of the four Royal Observers, three of which are located in the Steamfont Mountains while the last is located in Lesser Faydark.
These are supposedly the four lens locations:
The gnome royal observer just outside zone line in Lesser Faydark will give you one if you ask.
The gnome royal observer in one of the observatories in Steamfont will also give you one if you ask
The gnome royal observer in another observatory tells you it was stolen by a Dark Elf female, Zenita DRin. She is in Freeport in the poor section of town. You can get the lense two ways. Kill her - she is approximatley level 15 and hard to kill.
Or you can play cards with her (if you have an OK faction with her) by continuously trading her Innoruk's Kiss of Death, which you can purchase at the nearby tavern (she is even sometimes found in the tavern where you get the drink), for a draw of a card until you manage to draw a King.
The final royal observer in Steamfont tells you his brother, Bidl Frugrin, went to Kelethin to do some observations with the spare telescope lens.
He says he has likely found the local tavern and has gotten drunk, wandering the forest by day, and hanging out in the tavern by night. At night, he can be found in the tavern next to Trueshot Bows in Kelethin and happily gives you the telescope lens.
Take the lenses to Tobon Starpyre and give all four to him at once. He will give you a level 8 spell (Fire bolt being one) and approx 1 pp.
