How to complete the Put a Spring in Thy Step quest?
The Put a Spring in Thy Step quest will have you escorting an elderly man, Gautstafr, from his cozy cottage in the western part of the volcanic island to the hot springs in the central part of the region. This quest is also related to unlocking Dwarven Smithing - a special style of equipment upgrades. A detailed quest walkthrough can be found on a separate page of our guide - How to Unlock Dwarven Smithing. Use it to reach the final phase of the quest, during which you will talk to the elf Cliodhna.
As a thank you for the help given to her beloved, Cliodhna will reward you with a large amount of cash (23,000 G) and an item called Laurel Circlet. More importantly, however, she will reveal her identity as a Magick Archer and unlock for you the ability to change your vocation to Magick Archer. As a master of her craft, she will also offer you the Spellbow's Paradox scroll. Selecting it from the equipment and using it as a Magick Archer will give you access to the skill Martyr's Bolt - a powerful projectile that takes away part of the user's health. Similarly to changing vocations, you will adjust your class skills in the Guild building.
How to change vocation to Magick Archer?
After unlocking the Magick Archer vocation, you can go to one of the Guild headquarters to customize your class there. You can find more information about changing the character class on our guide page How to change vocation.
Magick Archer is a class exclusive to the player character. It means that Pawns cannot become one.
What characterizes the Magick Archer vocation?
Magick Archer is a vocation that combines elements of the standard archer with magic tricks and buffs. Among the abilities exclusive to the class are:
- Ranged attacks dealing elemental damage;
- Skills that heal and support allies;
- Shooting at several enemies simultaneously;
- A series of quick shots;
- Guided shots.
A wide arsenal of ranged abilities makes Magick Archer an excellent long-range character. The class unfortunately loses during close combat, so proper positioning on the battlefield and proper party composition will be extremely important, meaning you will need at least one tank such as Fighter or Warrior.
