Rare Ironbark

Rare Ironbark is a side quest located in the Dalish Camp. Varathorn laments the fact that he has no Ironbark with which to make first class weapons.

Background
Talking to Varathorn in the Dalish Camp triggers this quest. He will tell The Warden about the elven craftsmanship of old, and will mention that if he had ironbark, he would be able to make a weapon of comparable quality.

Walkthrough
The ironbark is located in the West Brecilian Forest, by a fallen tree over a river near one of the exits. Retrieve it and bring it back to Varathorn. Varathorn will ask whether a breastplate or a bow is preferable; it is possible to persuade him to make both.

You cannot complete this quest if you side with the werewolves against the elves.

Result

 * A bow called Wolf-Killer. (If he is asked to make the bow.)
 * A breastplate called Varathorn's Armor. (If he is asked to make the breastplate.)
 * An amulet called Varathorn's Amulet. (If The Warden says: "Neither. I'm sure your clan needs it more than I do.")
 * With enough persuasion, it becomes possible to persuade him to make the bow and the breastplate.
 * For monetary gains the best choice is to ask for both and then tell him to keep his wood, resulting in 4 gold (more than any of the items sell for).
