Step 1: Speak to Mergwin in Choral Chambers
To begin the quest, head to the Choral Chambers and talk to Mergwin. She explains that she has grown old and no longer has the strength to gather rare ingredients herself. She asks for your help in collecting them so that she can prepare a special meal for her master.
Step 2: Retrieve the Crustnut from the Sands of Karat
Your first goal is to collect a Crustnut. Travel to the Sands of Karat, where you’ll find this unique item. Refer to its location on the map.
Step 3: Mossberry Stew from the Moss Druid
Next, make your way to Bone Bottom. Here, you’ll meet the Moss Druid, who can prepare a Mossberry Stew for you. Speak with him, and he will give you Mossberry Stew.
Step 4: Defeat Lugoli in Sinner’s Road
Make your way into Sinner’s Road, where you’ll encounter Lugoli. Once you defeat him, you’ll obtain the Pickled Muckmaggot, a key ingredient needed for the quest.
Step 5: Vintage Nectar in Greymoor
Travel to Greymoor and find Creige. Refer to its location. Pay him 480 Rosaries to unlock access to the basement.
Inside the basement, you must clear out all enemies to receive the Vintage Nectar.
Step 6: Courier’s Rasher in Bellhart
Finally, head to Bellhart and talk to Tipp and Pill.
Note: You must first complete the “My Missing Courier” and “My Missing Brother” quests from the Wishboard in Bellhart before this option becomes available.
Choose the Deliveries option “Courier’s Rasher.”
Once you accept, you’ll receive a package that must be delivered back to Mergwin in Choral Chambers within the given time limit.
When you successfully deliver the package to Mergwin within the given time, the quest will end, and she will reward you with Pale Oil.
