Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Prowling: Albert Leek
1 of 11: There really isn't a quest to become a master, but the challenge, rather, is to find the master.
2 of 11: You can't start your search until you get to Caladon. The note given to you by Mr. Black, who trained you as an expert, will lead you to the Mushroom Inn, room 4.
3 of 11: Inside, you'll find another note, which will tell you to look under the bed.
4 of 11: So do so, and you'll find some glasses, which you should put on. Then, look behind the portrait.
5 of 11: You'll find yet another note which will mark "A Mysterious Location" on your map.
6 of 11: Go to the location. There, you'll find a stump guarded by a bunch of brute fangs, which you'll have to fight, unless you can prowl around them (very, very hard).
7 of 11: The last note is in the hollow stump. It will tell you the master, Albert Leek, can be found at the Sobbing Onion in Caladon.
8 of 11: Of course, you could have just gone there in the first place (he's always there), but it's so much less fun that way!
9 of 11: Leek is the elf standing on the right side of the bar. He'll introduce himself as "A.L."
10 of 11: Ask him to buy you drinks. Once you get really, really drunk, you'll notice that he's the prowl master.
11 of 11: If your prowl skill isn't too low from drinking, then have him train you. If it is, rest until morning and then have him train you.
