Revision 3

Damaged Flask is a personal keepsake recovered from the world as part of a side quest in Windrose. The flask is dented from rough handling but still intact, and its engraved message identifies its original owner as a man named Marcel.

In-Game Description

The metal flask is a little dented. A fine engraving on the side reads, "May you never be troubled by thirst, Marcel. A keepsake from your brother."

Where to Find

Drops from an enemy or container tied to its parent quest. The quest is offered by a Tortuga or Smugglers NPC who is searching for the flask's owner.

How to Use

Damaged Flask is a quest item, so it is consumed only when the relevant quest is handed in. It has no crafting use and cannot be sold to a faction Buyer, which keeps it from being dumped by accident during a cargo sale. Carry it back to the quest giver to complete the objective and claim the reward.

Notes

The engraving is one of the small environmental story details that fill out Windrose's world: an everyday object, a named owner, and a line of dialogue that hints at a relationship without spelling it out. Quest items like this stack to 10, so if a step asks for more than one the inventory will not clog. If the flask lingers in the bag after a quest is done, it is safe to discard, but while a quest line is active it is best left untouched until the objective updates.
