For an overview of Veil of Alaris pre-launch events, see this quest entry.



This is a pre-launch task leading up to the Veil of Alaris expansion and is expected to be available throughout the pre-launch events leading up to the Veil of Alaris expansion (through November 14).

It begins with a gnome named Watchman Beld in the Steamfont Mountains. He's found at location -1225, -1275 in the far southeastern part of the Steamfont Mountains.

You say, 'Hail, Watchman Beld'

Watchman Beld says 'Well, hello there youngster! Welcome to our worksite. These fine gnomes are working diligently day and night to complete this [project]. It is my [duty] to protect this place, and I shall use all of my resources to do so.'

You say, 'What project?'

Watchman Beld says 'Ah, the project. Well, it is very important. Brell himself sent us an emissary to explain the project to our experts. It is very important. Very important... but I, well, I can't explain it to you very well. I've spoken to the experts and I just didn't understand what they told me. I'm sure one of the engineers can tell you about it. I'm just here to protect the site.'

You say, 'What duty?'

Watchman Beld says 'My duty is to guard the site. That's not an easy task, you know. With all these monsters wandering through here the workers are pretty nervous. One gnome can't watch everything. I wonder... Perhaps you could lend an old watchman a hand? Would you be willing to [assist] me in keeping the beasts out of the works?'

You say, 'I'll assist you'

Watchman Beld says 'Well, that's kind of you.'

A quest window pops up offering two different tasks.

You have been assigned the task 'Belligerent Bones'.

Watchman Beld has asked you to help him keep the skeletons away from the work area. Any that wander into the area needs to be destroyed. Beld isn't concerned with those elsewhere in the Steamfont Mountains.



Kill 4 skeletons 0/4 (Steamfont Mountains)

Any Steamfont skeletons will do, however you have to kill them within a certain range of the work site (you can kill at least as far away as the dragon bones). You can kite mobs and kill them within this range to get the updates.

Speak with Beld 0/1 (Steamfont Mountains)

You say, 'Hail, Watchman Beld'

Watchman Beld was grateful for your assistance. Beld admitted that the creepy rattling of bones gives him the chills.

What also works is to group up and have just one person go out to find the far away skeletons and kobolds and kill them. The other people in the group who remain in the southeast - where the quest NPCs are - will get task updates.
Well...

Just like in the kobolds task, aside from the dragon bones...you can also drag any skeletons from elsewhere in the zone down close to the camp (dragon bones area would PROBABLY work for them) and kill them there...and they'll update the task.

If you are too far out, though...the task won't update when you kill them.
(Missing and closing dialogues needed.)

As soon as you have finished and Hail Watchman Beld the reward window pops up.
