The Witcher Hints
How can I deal with the Blacksmith's family's problems?
1 of 5: You will get this quest by talking to the Blacksmith's wife. She will complain about her husband summoning a succubus and ignoring her. She wants some Shimmering Dust, found on Noonwraiths.
2 of 5: When you leave the house, the Blacksmith will ask you to help him by getting some of the Shadow Dust found on Devourers.
3 of 5: You can find those monsters in the fields, during the day and night respectively.
4 of 5: Get the needed items from their corpses, and then you can choose whom you want to help.
5 of 5: Neither reward is particularly great, though the Blacksmith's is probably a little better. The Blacksmith will give you a red meteorite or 500 Orens (best option). His wife will give you a book that will identify the plants in the area.
