Giovanni's Machine Quest Guide

Alastair has stumbled across something while monitoring the horizon. He senses a powerful magic artifact. If you help him investigate, you may be part of a huge find!

Giovanni's new Enchantment Engine machine will generate free magic spells for you.  And you'll learn how to craft Flaming Swords!  Unlock 2 new land expansions with this quest line, just east of where you found the Frozen Throne.  You'll find a free Frozen Cottage and a Frozen Cow when you explore there!  Frozen Cows produce Ice Cream, yum.

Tips

• Visit your neighbors and tend any Royal Building Crew positions you may have, and encourage your friends to do the same for you.  Crew tends are more important than ever during this quest, because they have a chance to drop Copper Trinkets for you to use in crafting Bronze Bars.  Which brings us to the next tip:
• Start crafting Bronze Bars.  You'll need 19 of them,  to make Flaming Swords and to construct and upgrade the Enchantment Engine.
• Stock up on these materials, which you'll need to craft various items for quest progress:
  • Red Feathers (10)
  • Flour Sack (1)
  • Sugar (6)
  • Copper Trinkets (see below)
  • Cotton Thread (6)
  • Leather (2)
  • Hammers (4)
  • Iron Bar (1)
  • Mortar (3)
  • Steel Bars (4)
  • Wood Planks (10)
  • Materials for 21 Bronze Bars
    • Silver Ore (3 x 21 = 63)
    • Copper Trinket (21)
  • Materials for 28 Fireheart spells
    • Yellow Feathers (28 x 4 = 112)
    • Wool (28 x 4 = 112)
    • Gloom Wolf hair (28)
    • Hot Coal (28)
  • Materials required for 2 Charm Gloom Rat spells
    • Sugar (4 x 2 = 8)
    • Ogre's Belch (5 x 2 = 10)
    • Magic Flutes (4)
    • Honey (5 x 2 = 10)
• Since you'll be tending your Peacocks frequently to collect all those Yellow Feathers, you'll probably end up with a lot of extra Red Feathers.  Why not use those to craft some Dye Kits in your Studio?  You might not need them now, but they'll surely come in handy someday.  And any Rainbow Feathers you find, of course, are good for making Unicorn Chow (Butterscotch).
