Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Firearms: William Thorndrop
1 of 8: You'll find Thorndrop in Ashbury, to the south of where you entered, near a barn.
2 of 8: If you talk to him, you'll recognize him as the Firearms master, but he'll refuse to train you if you ask.
3 of 8: Once you finish talking to him, a halfling will appear and deliver a message that you should read, and then talk to Thorndrop again.
4 of 8: He'll tell you that the Willenbicker gang wants to kill him and that they've kidnapped the halfling's wife.
5 of 8: So offer to help him out, and head to the east to the barn.
6 of 8: Inside, you'll find a number of bandits, from level 10-30.
7 of 8: Be sure to attack the half-ogre in the back first, or he'll kill the halfling's wife before you can save her.
8 of 8: Once you're done with them, go back to Thorndrop, and once you pester him enough, he'll train you.
