Hobb: Dorian may recognise this hinge piece Ask
On this page
Dorian may recognise this hinge piece. Ask him which way it belongs. I'd rather look foolish now than break it confidently.
Before you start
Speak to Hobb Cress at Camp-4 in Traders Camp. Meet the requirements before travelling: Engineering: Level 5. Follow the walkthrough in stage order. Gathering or crafting before the corresponding stage is active may not count as that objective.
Your next contacts
Use the walkthrough's target and source together: a similarly named interaction in another place may not advance this quest.

Dorian examined Hobb's supplied hinge part with its matching sketch and identifies it as a hinge pin, with its head facing outwards as marked on the sketch and a bent end requiring assessment before reuse.
