Odd things you need for crafting - Ingredients

Some crafting ingredients can be really weird

[maxnaz]

We all know that even though he abandoned the quest out of frustration, he will still be keeping an eye out for all those ingredients and keeping them in his stash for when he eventually returns to complete the quest.

"A half eaten sandwich and a mashed potato."
I'm pretty sure that Bodger had skipped lunch and was hoping to get it from the adventurer.

[capp]

Even if he did get all the ingredients, the sword would be lower level than his current one, and if it's a quest-related sword, he can't even sell it. Just doomed to carry around a crappy sword made from mashed potatoes. lol

[paullenoue]

And let's not overlook the fact that even though spiders have eight yes, Ben will have to kill 50-100 giant spiders just to get one eye.

That feeling when you sold a half-eaten sandwich, old leather shoe and hen's tooth two hours ago...

[Mrstrangert]

This give me flashbacks to The Witcher 3 where you need monster brains and eyes to make Swords and Armor

[Voltaic_Fire]

I was expecting:
"How is mashed potato meant to help you create a solid steel sword?"
"I'm hungry."

[TheMC]

I can imagine Ben completing the quest, and then finding the Ashen Sword in a random loot chest while exploring.

I love how Bodger just plainly says “starch” like it was the most regular thing to say in the current situation 🤣🤣🤣

Also can we have a sequel wiith Ben taking a leather shoe from Hamish? 🤣🤣🤣

[kingluffydono]

A pigeon wing.
-Right
A dead frog.
-Perfect
A hens tooth
-Literally impossible.
Ben is definitely one of my favorites in Viva La Dirt League😂😂😂💯

[neevans_]

Hen's tooth literally impossible cracked me up

[evilreiko]

This needs a sequel, where Ben returns with ingredients

[paulyguitary]

Bodger has been trying his damndest to get a goblet of Goblin feces likely so he can prank Greg.

[Mr-Tibbster]

Makes me think of when a game's crafting/harvesting system asks you to collect something as simple as water, and there is water everywhere, rivers, lakes, etc, but it doesn't let you harvest it, but instead makes you walk around the most dry area of the map to try and dig for it in the ground.

[tyrant-den]

Greg: "You can't make an Ashen Sword, can you?"
Bodger: "Heck no!"

[goforme]

*some time later*
*Greg:* "Ah, hello adventurer! How goes your quest?"
*Ben:* "Never mind, I have abandoned it, give me another quest."
*Greg:* "Oh no, adventurer! You have abandoned thy quest?"
*Ben:* "Yes, give me another, any other quest."
*Greg:* "I am sorry adventurer, but I can not. Slaying the Wraith of Honeywood is The quest. I can't give you any more until the Wraith that plagues these lands is slain."
*Ben:* 😅

I like to think the recipe for the sword is written on a note pad, but that same notepad is used to write other things on, and it gets mixed up with the original ingredients

[EdmundLoh]

We haven’t seen Baelin in a long time. They’re saving him for Baelin’s route is my guess.

[Cotcan]

The mashed potatoes aren't for the sword, it's for the blacksmith. He figured since you were getting all this stuff, you could get him dinner.

[Kingofredeyes]

Love how this got referenced in the Legacy of the Meme's StarCraft 2 mod.
