Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
How can I get information on the ring?
1 of 9: If you ask around, people will tell you that a man named Ristezze knows a lot about strange objects.
2 of 9: So go to his shop (a little to the north of where you entered town).
3 of 9: If you pursue the line of questioning about the ring, he'll eventually ask you for either something belonging to Bessie Toone, or something of interest from the crash site.
4 of 9: You should probably go get Bessie Toone's boot from the mine and give it to him.
5 of 9: The boot is in the room where you find Bessie Toone's ghost.
6 of 9: You can also give him the camera from the crash site, but it's used for another quest, so you might want to keep it.
7 of 9: Also, you can buy the boot back from him for very cheap, and then sell it later for $$ (to H.T. Parnell, in Tarant).
8 of 9: Either way, he'll tell you that the ring was made by P. Schuyler and Sons, who are based in Tarant.
9 of 9: He'll mark Tarant on your map if you don't have it already.
