Highlighting the Problem

Explore the RuneCrafting Guild to discover the means to craft a powerful magical weapon.

The wizard statue in the Runecrafting Guild, on the cliffs directly north of Temple Woods, wants a password, and the password is in the vault at the foot of the cliff. Pay it and the statue hands you an uncharged orb to carry round the guild's three towers; bring it back charged and you get the recipe for the Staff of Light, the best magic weapon you can make this early.
