What does this information mean?

Notes

• This quest is repeatable.
• Elder Yelnar is standing on a rock in the water at ( -1325, -1088, -233 ) Copy/waypoint -1325, -1088, -233 (behind the platform where you fight Dozekar).
• Originally it was essential to receive the quest before killing Dozekar and looting Yelnar's Binding Stone -- this is no longer the case. If you already have a binding stone just speak with Elder Yelnar to receive the quest, which will then automatically update.
• You need the following components to complete the recipe. An optional portable forge (tinkered or via TS AA) will allow you to craft the combine without leaving the zone:
  • Yelnar's Binding Stone
  • 5 banyan root
  • 5 bubinga lumber
  • 5 metallic reptile hide
  • 5 osmium cluster
  • 20 effulgent coal
• Only click on and use Yelnar's Research Prism (the reward from this quest) if you want to keep and use the tradeskill apprentice, Elder Yelnar (Dracurion Mastercraftsman). The research prism itself is fully tradable, but the stone it turns into after you use it is no-trade.

Steps

1. Speak to Elder Yelnar and receive the quest -- this may be done either before or after you kill Dozekar.
2. Obtain Yelnar's Binding Stone by killing Dozekar the Cursed
3. Speak to Elder Yelnar again, and tell him you have retrieved his binding stone. When you get the option, say "I am ready", and he will give you the recipe Binding Stone Modification
4. Scribe the recipe Binding Stone Modification and use a Forge to craft Yelnar's Binding Stone of Shattering (this consumes the Yelnar's Binding Stone and 20 rare materials)
5. Return and speak to to Elder Yelnar and use Yelnar's Binding Stone of Shattering on him. Speak to him again to finish the quest, and get your Research Prism.

Rewards

• Yelnar's Research Prism

Warning: only click on and use Yelnar's Research Prism if you want to keep and use the tradeskill apprentice, Elder Yelnar (Dracurion Mastercraftsman). The research prism can be traded or sold on the broker, but the stone it turns into after you use it is no-trade.
