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.
Try to complete this quest before you enter the Lower Ruins; after reaching the werewolves' lair, you might not be able to finish it (depending on decisions you make during Nature of the Beast).
Result
Your reward will depend on how you respond to his offer to make you an item:
- Ask him to make a bow: Wolf-Killer.
- Ask him for a breastplate: Varathorn's Armor.
- Ask for neither: Varathorn's Amulet.
- Persuade him to make both the bow and breastplate.
