Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints

Dodge: Adkin Chambers

  • 1 of 9: You'll find Adkin in the town of Stillwater, living in a house a little ways off to the west of the main part of town.
  • 2 of 9: The Dodge mastery quest is directly related to the Melee master quest, and it will work out best if you accept the Dodge master quest before you go and talk to Garrick Stout, the Melee master.
  • 3 of 9: When you talk to Adkin, he'll tell you that he wants you to kill the Melee master Garric Stout, who lives in Dernholm.
  • 4 of 9: So go to Dernholm, and talk to Stout.
  • 5 of 9: Again, if you want to become a Melee master, or just want to help out Adkin, accept the Melee master quest now.
  • 6 of 9: Once you're ready, just attack Stout. Any guards in the area will also attack you, but it you're fairly high level (which you should be) and have some competent companions, the fight isn't that hard.
  • 7 of 9: Stout's eyes will appear in your inventory, so go bring them back to Adkin to be trained in Dodge mastery.
  • 8 of 9: If you completed the Melee master quest, Lady Druella will have given you the potion of cure blindness to give to Adkin, so give it to him now.
  • 9 of 9: You'll be able to find Adkin and Druella later in the game, once you get to Roseborough.
