Quest Overview
Starting Location	016-1 Woodland, south from Dimond's Cove
Level	50
Prerequisites	Focusing Skills, Forest Bow Quest
Redoable	No, only once

Important Note:

• The Mallard's Eye Skill increases the accuracy and range of archery. For example, with 100 in Dexterity, you get +1 Range per 3 points in the skill. In addition, your accuracy remains about the same as without the skill at max Range meaning which that at close range you're much more accurate than without the skill.

What To Do:

1. Head South from Hurnscald then West. When you are at Dimond's Cove, head South, and pass over the bridge. Follow the narrow path South and take the right side where it forks. You will see a little house, and Gwendolyn will be there waiting for you.
2. She will ask you for 25,000 GP to pay for the Archery Lesson. To prove that you are already a good archer, bring her 18 Cave Snake Eggs, 15 Snake Eggs, 5 Mountain Snake Eggs, and 2 Grass Snake Eggs.
3. Complete the minigame about the wind.
4. After that, you will be done with this Skill.

Hint:

• You must have the Forest Bow from the Forest Bow Quest and regular Arrows to do this quest.

The minigame: Note: If the wind comes from the side (including diagonals), you must make steps (or aim) in that direction.

Steps	Expression
0	Windless
1	Slight Breeze
2	Blowing
3	Strong Wind
4	Squall

Note: Next, figure out if the wind is blowing with or against you.

Wind	Expression
4	Very Weak
3	Rather Weak
2	Weak
1	Somewhat Weak
0	Medium
1	Somewhat Powerful
2	Powerful
3	Rather Powerful
4	Very Powerful

Keep in mind that wind is kind of random; thus there is always a chance that you shoot "a fingerbreadth aside". A higher dexterity and agility will help though. Don't worry, Gwendolyn is patient and you will have another chance to adjust your shoot. A random number between 0 and 499 will be generated. If the number is larger than ( 2*your dexterity + agility), the shoot won't hit the target.

Examples:

• If Gwedolyn says that the wind is "Blowing (2) from the South-West" you will make at first trial, 2 steps to your left, and blow a weak shot.
• If there is a "strong wind coming from the North (3), you stay and shoot "Rather Powerful".

• 20,000 EXP

Total Cost:

• 18 Cave Snake Eggs
• 15 Snake Eggs
