Parts for Bellfast (non-research)  

Try spam hailing him. After I did this I got the update. Also you may try standing right next to him as proximity may be involved also.

I updated my previous post to show what happens when you complete the quest.

The "more important" prompt allows you to get four new tasks:

You say, 'what is more important?'

Bellfast says 'Great! You have been much help to me. I am feeling younger already! Long ago when we came down here there were four [brothers] who were geniuses at making the wonderful devices that us gnomes make.'

You say, 'what brothers?'

Bellfast says 'Together they had made a device that can alter certain very rare stones and with some mechanoinstructions, some lubricating goo, and a base seal, one could make a wondrous seal that one could attach to the armor especially made for their [culture].'

You say, 'What about the culture?'

Bellfast says 'If you want to help me further, I have four books that explain about the device, [Ambleshift's Anfractuous Album], [Poxysmit's Precipitous Parts], [Scrindite's Senescent Scribbles], and [Epicthieck's Edification Edition]. Each one describes each person's part in the machine.'

You say, 'Ambleshift's Anfractuous Album'

You have been assigned the task 'Ambleshift's Anfractuous Album'.

Bellfast says 'Ambleshift was the one who put it all together. While the other three try to claim credit, if it was not for Ambleshift, none of it would actually have come together. His book describes the final assembly of the device, and some parts of it that he himself made. If you could get me some items, I would be willing to give you a copy of the album.'

You say, 'Poxysmit's precipitous parts'

You have been assigned the task 'Poxysmit's Precipitous Parts'.

Bellfast says 'Poxysmit was the blacksmith of the group. His manual explains how to make the casing for the device itself, and the gearboxes that go inside. If you could get me some items, I would be willing to give you a copy of the parts book.'

You say, 'Scrindite's Senescent Scribbles'

Bellfast says 'Scrindite was the [methodical thinker] of the group. He was a genius at making mechanoinstructions that we cannot even understand to this day. We often have some mechanotablets of his making inside of us, making us work, and we just hope that they never fail because we no longer know how to make them.'

You say, 'What methodical thinker?'

You have been assigned the task 'Scrindite's Senescent Scribbles'.

Bellfast says 'His manual explains how to make the parts of the device that read the instructions for the machine. If you could get me some items, I would be willing to give you a copy of his scribbles.'

You say, 'Epicthieck's edification edition'

You have been assigned the task 'Epicthieck's Edification Ed.'.

Bellfast says 'Epicthieck was the Jack of all trades of the group. He made all the parts that used other skills, and even the Lubricating Goo that the machine needs to use in order to not damage the stone while it makes the seal. His manual explains the miscellaneous other parts that are needed to make the machine. If you could get me some items, I would be willing to give you a copy of his edition.'

You have to stand pretty much on top of the merchant and then it will update when you buy the kit.
