Quest Rare Ironbark
Location:	Dalish Camp
Quest Giver:	Varathorn
Appearances:	Dragon Age: Origins

Rare Ironbark is a side quest located in the Dalish Camp. Varathorn laments the fact that he has no Ironbark with which to make first class weapons.

Talking to Varathorn in the Dalish Camp triggers this quest. He will tell The Warden about the elven craftsmanship of old, and will mention that if he had ironbark, he would be able to make a weapon of comparable quality.

Walkthrough Edit

The ironbark is located in the West Brecilian Forest, by a fallen tree over a river near the northern exit to East Brecilian Forest (the location of the iron bark is marked on the map). Retrieve it and bring it back to Varathorn. Varathorn will ask whether a breastplate or a bow is preferable; it is possible to persuade him to make both. If Varathorn refuses to trade with you and you have not yet completed this quest, completing it and "donating" the Ironbark appears to let you back into his good graces.

Try to complete this quest before you enter the Lower Ruins; after reaching the werewolves' lair, you might not be able to finish it (depending on decisions you make during Nature of the Beast).

Rewards Edit

Your reward will depend on how you respond to his offer to make you an item:

1. Ask him to make a bow: Wolf-Killer.
2. Ask him for a breastplate: Varathorn's Armor.
3. Ask for neither: Varathorn's Amulet.
4. Persuade him to make both the bow and breastplate.
   • This option offers the highest monetary gain if you sell the items: 3.
   • If the Persuade fails, you can apologize, and by telling Varathorn you want neither item, you are given 4.
   • Bug! In the dialogue with Varathorn, the first two choices after he initially refuses are identical (both persuade).
