Wandering Tinker

Tinker's location

Name: Wandering Tinker
About: Rare spawn merchant
Location: Tinker's Hovel, Fields of Misery.
Farming Method:
[e]

1. From the Quest Selection screen take quest No. 6. The Broken Blade.
2. Accept the quest from Leah in Tristram.
3. Take the Waypoint from Tristram to the Fields of Misery.
4. Whichever waypoint you appear at you need to head north until you hit the north edge of the map.
5. Follow the edge along and at some point you will come to some mud steps which will lead up to a Sheltered Cottage.
6. Outside could be Swickard's Corpse which will loot the Farmer's Journal or a bag (Tinker's Possessions) containing the Wandering Tinker's Diary.
7. If the cottage is the Tinker's Hovel, the Wandering Tinker will be inside.

Special Notes:

1. If what you are looking for is not there carry on along the top of the map until you reach the slope up to The Old Mill where you will get a Checkpoint. Leave the game and Resume Game and take the portal waiting for you in Tristram directly back to the slope.
2. Run along the top of the map again looking for the steps.

Vendel the Armorsmith

Vendel the Armorsmith

Name: Vendel the Armorsmith
About: Occasional spawn who triggers The Scavenged Scabbard event.
Location: Level 2 of the Watch Tower, Southern Highlands.
Farming Method:
[e]

1. Take quest No. 8 Trailing the Coven > Khazra Barricade and take the waypoint to Highlands Crossing.
2. Make your way directly across the Southern Highlands.
3. If the Watch Tower has spawned it's almost directly opposite this entrance into the Southern Highlands so try to keep going dead straight. See it on the Southern Highlands map marked (A).
4. Head to the very west of the Southern Highlands.

Special Notes:

• If you see Karyna's Lost Wagon approach it as you'll get a Checkpoint as you do so which means if you need to leave and 'Resume Game' you'll resume here and it'll save a little time.
• Although the Watch Tower may spawn it does not mean that Vendel the Armorsmith and his Scabbard event will.

[e]

1. From the Quest Selection screen take Act III > quest No. 5. Machines of War.
2. Head out of Bastion's Keep through the Arreat Gate.
3. Head left (your character's left) down the steps and then left down more steps.
4. As you leave the gate and into The Battlefields head to your right below the burning cart.
