Editing Arcane Pedestal Quest (section)

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
=== Part 1: Acquiring the Gelidite Dais ===
# This quest's lore piece, {{Itemlink|Rumor of an Artifact}}, can be purchased from the [[Barkeeper]] in [[Glenden Wood]], [[Qalaba'r]] or [[Zaikhal]].
# In order to complete the production of the [[Arcane Pedestal]], you will need to acquire a {{Itemlink|Gelidite Dais}} from the [[Gelidite Library Quest|Gelidite Library]], and also three [[Bronze Statues Quest|Bronze Statue]] pieces. You can acquire these prior to retrieving the other parts to save a fair amount of running later.
# To acquire the Gelidite Dais, head to the main quest dungeon at 69.2N, 17.2W. Once inside, continue through to the second dungeon. At the four-way intersection, go through the north door and take the immediate first east hallway. Through the two doors, you'll find the Gelidite Dais beside the [[Oubliette Gatekeeper]]. Double-click the Dais to receive one in your inventory. 

=== Part 2: Bronze Gear, Coil and Spring ===
# To acquire the Bronze pieces from three different creature Statues, you will have to head to three different foundries. It's ''important'' to note that the parts need to drop off of a specific creature. If you try to turn in a Bronze piece that was dropped off of a creature not listed, Slithe Tradittor will refuse it.
#* '''Note:''' The Mammet Foundry is the most dangerous of the three, with numerous creature magic casters. It would be advisable to enlist the help of a friend to help keep the dungeon clear. Also note that the Bronze pieces are attuned, so they cannot be passed from one character to another.

=== Part 3: The Precarious Sojourn ===
# Go to [[Slithe Tradittor|Slithe Tradittor's]] cottage at 3.9N, 44.8E.
#* Route: From the [[Town Network]], take the Aluvian (north) wing to [[Lytelthorpe]]. From there, run to the [[Osric Cottages]] portal at 2.2N, 50.5E.
# Talk to Slithe Tradittor to receive {{Itemlink|Slithe Tradittor's Notes.|Slithe Tradittor's Notes}} and {{Itemlink|Imaging Crystal}}, then go to the [[Precarious Sojourn]] portal at 2.3N, 0.8W outside of [[Al-Jalima]].
#* '''Note:''' The quickest route is to take the Midsong Cottages portal outside of [[Al-Jalima]] at 5.7N, 4.3E.
#* '''Note:''' The Precarious Sojourn portal is found high atop a hill. You can climb up at 2.8N, 0.7W.
# At the Precarious Sojourn drop, run north until the final platform, then turn east. Continue until the second-last platform and head north again. Turn east at the next platform and continue until the end. At this point, turn south and jump onto the floating tower. You may wish to clear the platform of creatures before attempting the jump to avoid bouncing off of them (which may drop you to the ground, requiring you to make the trip to Precarious Sojourn a second time).
# Talk to [[Alatar Locke]] at the second-highest floor of the floating tower, and you will receive an {{Itemlink|Unframed map of Dereth}}.
# Use your Imaging Crystal on the [[An Empyrean device]] atop the tower to receive an {{Itemlink|Imaging Crystal- Arcane Pedestal imprinted}} in its place.
# Return to Slithe Tradittor and hand him the Imaging Crystal. At this point, you can hand him the Gelidite Dais if you acquired one earlier, and follow with the Bronze pieces if you also have those. If you have neither, it's recommend you spend time to acquire both the Dais and three Bronze pieces before heading back, to save a somewhat lengthy run. The instructions to acquire these can be found at the top of this walkthrough.
# Return to Slithe Tradittor and hand him the Gelidite Dais, and receive a  {{Itemlink|Parts List for Arcane Pedestal}} in return. Listed inside are the required Bronze pieces to complete the construction of the Pedestal. Acquire these if you have not already. If you have, hand them over, one at a time.
# Return once more to Slithe Tradittor and hand him the three Bronze pieces the {{Itemlink|Bronze Gear from a Statue}}, {{Itemlink|Bronze Coil from a Statue}} and the {{Itemlink|Bronze Spring from a Statue}}. He'll award you with a fully-completed {{Itemlink|Arcane Pedestal}}.
# To complete the Dereth Map, pay a visit to the [[Woodsman]] who resides along the shoreline outside of [[Holtburg]], at 43.4N, 33.3E. Purchase a bundle of {{Itemlink|Wood}}.
# Head to the southwest side of [[Zaikhal]], to the [[Agent of the Arcanum|Agent of the Arcanum's]] cottage at 13.2N 0.3E. There you will find [[Jordan Ibn'Ikia]]. First hand him the Unframed map of Dereth, then the Wood, and you will receive back a constructed {{Itemlink|Dereth Map}}.
