A record of crafting techniques left by roaming nomad warriors.

Acquire the knowledge to craft the following:

Hermit Merchant beneath the Uhl Palace ruins

Ainsel River

Starting Site of Grace: Ainsel River Sluice Gate

Before you go

• 2,500 runes

1. On eastern Liurnia's plateau, head north from Eastern Tableland to the round Ainsel River Well building. Ride the lift down and activate Ainsel River Well Depths grace.
2. Take the tunnel on the left toward the giant ants. Watch the ceiling as well as the floor; drawing them down one at a time is safer than being surrounded beneath them.
3. At the first lit junction, turn right. The left branch ends at a Smithing Stone pickup rather than the route onward.
4. At the next split in the chamber full of corpses, take the right branch toward the large stone structure. Climb the path on the right and cross the bridge back to the left.
5. Activate Ainsel River Sluice Gate grace in the cave ahead before using the lift directly to the right of the bridge's far end. Ride that lift down instead of jumping from the upper ruins.
6. Follow the lower ruins through the Claymen and the lit entrance into the large open chamber. A hanging creature at the far end fires stones across this room.
7. Use the stone walls and pillars as cover while approaching the building directly beneath that creature. The Hermit Merchant is sheltering inside; killing the creature is optional.
8. Choose Purchase and buy Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [16] for 2,500 runes. The nearby corpse holds the region map, which is a separate pickup.
9. This is the lower Ainsel merchant reached from Liurnia's well. You do not need to serve Ranni or fight the Dragonkin Soldier to buy the book.

Notes

• Unlocks Thawfrost Boluses and Stimulating Boluses.
• The book unlocks its recipes without being equipped or consumed. You also need the Crafting Kit from Kalé at the Church of Elleh to use Item Crafting.
• You keep the book and its recipes in later Journeys. Its number identifies the contents rather than a required collection order.
• Thawfrost Boluses: each craft makes 1, using 1 Herba, 1 Cave Moss, and 1 Crab Eggs.
• Stimulating Boluses: each craft makes 1, using 1 Herba, 1 Cave Moss, and 1 Slumbering Egg.
• Thawfrost Boluses reduce frost buildup and cure frostbite. Stimulating Boluses reduce sleep buildup.
• Both remedies use Herba and Cave Moss. Crab Eggs finish the frost remedy, while a Slumbering Egg is used for the sleep remedy.
