Crafting after obtaining Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [16]

Ainsel River

Starting Site of Grace: Ainsel River Downstream

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [16]
• Ingredients per batch: 1 Herba, 1 Cave Moss and 1 Crab Eggs
• 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.
10. Buy the Crafting Kit from Kalé at Church of Elleh for 300 runes if Item Crafting is unavailable.
11. Collect 1 Herba, 1 Cave Moss and 1 Crab Eggs. Outside combat, open Item Crafting and select Thawfrost Boluses. One batch makes 1.

Medicine Peddler's Bell Bearing shop

Capital Outskirts and Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Hermit Merchant's Shack

Before you go

• Defeat the Bell Bearing Hunter at Hermit Merchant's Shack.

1. Reach the northern part of the Capital Outskirts and find Hermit Merchant's Shack beside the road northwest of the capital's outer wall.
2. Activate the grace, speak to the merchant, then pass time until night. Rest again or reload the area so the merchant is absent.
3. Approach the shack and defeat the Bell Bearing Hunter that appears. Collect the bearing awarded for winning.
4. Offer it to the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold to open the medicine stock.
5. Open the unlocked medicine stock and buy Thawfrost Boluses for 2,400 runes each. This stock is unlimited.

Notes

• Clears Frostbite buildup and cures active Frostbite, removing its temporary increase to damage taken.
• Curing an active Frostbite effect does not restore the HP lost when it triggered. It also lets Frostbite build again, so leave the incoming frost attacks instead of treating the cure as immunity.
• This is an immediate cure, rather than a resistance buff. It does not replace a cured-meat resistance effect or make the next incoming ailment harmless.
• Using one costs no FP and consumes the prepared boluses. Carry up to 99, with another 600 in storage.
• The cookbook and Crafting Kit are kept. Each listed batch makes one, and the ingredients are consumed when crafting.
• Each craft uses 1 Herba, 1 Cave Moss and 1 Crab Eggs.
• Medicine Peddler's Bell Bearing unlocks unlimited purchases from the Twin Maiden Husks for 2,400 runes each. Killing the ordinary Hermit Merchant is not the bearing reward; defeat the nighttime Bell Bearing Hunter.
