Finding the Forge - New Renly Quest Reward to Introduce Salvage System

During the recent interview of Zizaran, Jonathan, and Mark, they mentioned they would be open to looking at possibly adding an Artificer Orb as a quest reward.

To expand upon this idea, I would like to propose that when you unlock the Salvage Bench upon completing the "Finding the Forge" quest, that Renly also gives you a new quest reward called an "Artisan Cache," that contains one of each of the different upgrade materials that are obtained by salvaging gear, along with one Artificer’s Orb to add a rune socket. This new quest reward would allow players to explore upgrading their armor and weapon quality early in the campaign.

"Artisan Cache" - New Renly Quest Reward

• Contains 1 Artificer's Orb
• Contains 1 Arcanist's Etcher
• Contains 1 Armourer's Scrap
• Contains 1 Blacksmith's Whetstone
• Contains 1 Glassblower's Bauble

Forgot to mention, in addition to the new quest reward, that Renly should have a new dialogue option discussing what is the purpose of the salvage bench along with what materials you get from salvaging.

New fun dialogue option in his UI could be listed as- "Salvage: From Trash to Treasure."

+1, this would be a great early-game bump and would go a long way to help alleviate that 'no loot' feeling.

Agreed, also think the game could do a better job at introducing the various systems to new players. First time playing, I was completely unaware of the salvage bench.
