        Shar Vahl - Progressive Smithing Quest

            Purchase a carapace shield frame from Master Barkhem in Shar Vahl.
            Fill it with 8 small bloodling carapaces and combine.
            Hand in for a bloodling carapace plate. Do this again.

            Combine two bloodling carapace plates with nepeta oil extract
            (merchant sold) and a (medium) sectional mail mold in the forge.
            (FYI: Bloodling Plate Mail can be sold. Borrow one?)
            Hand in the Bloodling Plate Mail tunic to Master Barkhem. He
            returns the tunic and a Vah Shir Apprentice Mallet (no drop, lore).
                                    --------------------------

        ------------------------

            Ask Master Barkhem "what repair order?" He will give you a
            (lore) work order to repair the shields of the 4 bridge guards.

            Make sure that the guard's shield is visible!
            Hand the note to one of the proper guards.
            The guard will give you a dented shield, which starts the
            timed portion of this quest. Combine the dented shield and the
            Vah Shir apprentice mallet in the forge (trivial 31, 34 for
            Aihjin's). Return the shield to the guard to receive a completed
            repair order.

            Give the 4 completed work orders back to the Master Barkhem for a
            spirit anchor anvil, called a Vah Shir Anvil (no drop, lore).

        ------------------------

            You can learn about making shadow disks. He will give you an 8-slot
            "Barkhem's Box" in which to combine 8 shadow disks.

                1 swirling shadows [stack]
                1 metal bits
                  Vah Shir Anvil
                  Vah Shir Apprentice Mallet

            Return the combined box and your Apprentice Mallet for a
            Luclinite Hammer (no drop).
            ----------------

        ------------------------

            Make 3 Humming Orbs

                1 wailing substance   [stack, no drop] (from owlbears)
                1 shrieking substance [stack, no drop] (from sonic wolves)
                1 metal rings
                  Vah Shir Anvil
                  Luclinite Hammer

            Return 3 humming orbs and your luclinite hammer to Master Barkhem
            for a Humming Luclinite Mallet (no drop),
                  ------------------------
            Now you can make shadowscream steel armor.
