Arcanum Researcher
Arcanum Researcher tells you, "I have the latest reports from the Arcanum with me. Asheron stopped by the Arcanum workshops and gifted the Tinkers with knowledge of Yalaini transmutation magic. Using their new insights, the Tinkers have found the way to penetrate the Foundries from which these statues have come. If you seek out the Arcanum Tinker in the Consortium near Xarabydun, he will be able to tell you more!
Arcanum Researcher tells you, "Meanwhile, I will still deliver the same rewards for any trophies that you might find on the statues menacing our towns. I will give additional rewards for any interesting items found within the Foundries, for I am sure the :Arcanum would be interested in studying them further."
