Evolution of the Past

Obtain 5 Basilisk Hides.

• Basilisk Hide (5)

As we make stronger armor, the creatures we battle adapt and learn to defeat us. We in turn create better armor, and they in turn learn to defeat it yet again.

For centuries, my people have battled the basilisks of the mesas below. They have adapted to us as thoroughly as we have to them.

Go, kill these basilisks and take from them their hides. Return them to me so I may show you how they have evolved.

You will learn: Recipe: Warhide Gloves (Rank 2)

You will also receive:

• 16,170 XP

Do not fear change, for change is the only way to move forward.

See this, ? What was once a soft, simple scale...

<Hrul indicates to the scales on the basilisk's underbelly.>

...has evolved into a jagged weapon that can kill!

<He then indicates to the spined scales at the base of the creature's neck. [sic]

I trust you now understand the purpose of change.
