TheTainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon’s As Good As Gold quest is a traditional quest that will have you ping-ponging from NPC to NPC as you attempt to repair the benevolent Elain’s priceless necklace. While this quest is largely pretty simple, it does feature a section that will ask you to track down a goldsmith, and you will not be assisted by quest markers.

So, instead of blindly fumbling through the entirety of the village, chatting up every resident, let us take you by the hand and lead you directly to this goldsmith you seek. It will all be worth it, as you’ll earn a decent amount of XP and unlock a fancy accessory shop along the way.
