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, expected to be available only for a certain period of time ahead of VOA's launch.

It begins with a gnome named Chief Engineer Dougal in the Steamfont Mountains. He's found in the far southeastern part of the Steamfont Mountains (location -1275, -1060, 0 -- overlooking the pit).

You say, 'Hail, Chief Engineer Dougal'

Chief Engineer Dougal says 'Hello. Pretty busy here, you know. Big [project] and all that. What can I do for you?'

You say, 'What's this project?'

Chief Engineer Dougal says 'I'm sure you've heard. We're building an immense rigid airship. It will be a masterpiece when we're done. It will be a dream come true for most of us. Despite the [danger] that prompted this project, we're all very excited about it. This is the sort of amazing project that comes along once in a lifetime, if that. All of Ak'Anon is working to make this project happen. Are you [interested] in helping?'

You say, 'I'm interested'

Chief Engineer Dougal says 'That's nice to hear. I might have a [task] for you, but you should check with my chief engineers, they certainly could use some help.'

You say, 'What task?'

Chief Engineer Dougal says 'Hrmm...'

A task window pops up with two tasks to choose from.

You have been assigned the task 'Ballast and Ornamentation - Copper Railing'.

One of the final touches of the ship will be the railings. Chief Dougal wants the railing to be a functional and attractive item. To that end, he has asked you to seek out a skilled smith who can work with an artist to come up with a great mold for the railing. Gan is insisting that you bring him one Darksteel weapon as his payment for doing the work. This isn't surprising from a mercenary.



Speak with Gan Ironsworthy 0/1 (Butcherblock Mountains)

Gan is found in the Wayfarer's camp just outside Greater Faydark.

Find a dark steel weapon and deliver it to Gan 0/1 (Butcherblock Mountains)

Dark steel weapons drop from "a dark assassin" in the Umbral Plains.

Loot some Twilight Ore from earth elementals in the Twilight Sea 0/1 (Twilight Sea)

This should be a random kill update.

Tell Gan that you have his Twilight Ore 0/1 (Butcherblock Mountains)

Speak with Mercia 0/1 (Plane of Knowledge)

Speak with Chief Engineer Dougal 0/1 (Steamfont Mountains)

Give the ruler to Mercia 0/1 (Plane of Knowledge)

Give the Exceptional Clay Casting Material to Mercia 0/1 (Plane of Knowledge)

Collect 1 Refined Underfoot Copper (ALL)

This is forged (300 smithing trivial; a NO TRADE item). See this recipe page for information about putting it together.

Create 1 Shiny Brass Railing Segment using tradeskills 0/1 (ALL)

(What does this combine involve?)

Deliver 1 Shiny Brass Railing Segment to Chief Engineer Dougal 0/1 (Steamfont Mountains)

(Missing and closing dialogues needed.)

These two steps are just hails... no actual items involved.

They drop from the cloaked shadows (mid-z0ne) and the elementals (near Vex). Just look for a weapon in their hand...

The Shiny Brass Railing Segment combine is simply - the mold (previously given in the quest) and the Refined Underfoot Copper bar.

Where/how do you combine it? What is the trivial if any?

Dark Steel weapons drop from mobs in the Umbral Plains from the Dark Assasins.
