i love this quest line . the rewards are not balanced well at all though . Generic Spoiler # spoiler once you get to the forge you have just enough aetherium for 1 item , a staff a shield or a crown . Generic Spoiler # spoiler the staff summons a dwarven spider or sphere for 60 seconds and maybe random dwarven metal but that is only on occasion Generic Spoiler # spoiler the shield is a dwarven shield with a crystal on the front . it has an enchantment that if you do a normal shield bash the target becomes ethereal for 15 seconds cause them to flee cause they can ' t attack or take damage . doesn ' t work with other shield abilities in the block tree . Generic Spoiler # spoiler Now the crown is a beautiful crown with a flowing blue gem that lets you hold 2 standing stones at once . this one is by far the strongest for power leveling or mix and matching bonuses from the stones . you can have a steed stone and whatever stone you want and get a free 100 bonus carry weight , you can have lovers stone and warrior stone and get 35 % increase in skill progression for making your iron daggers . This one by far is the strongest item . it is strange that 1 item is so much more powerful then the rest . great quest though .
