Objectives
Claim your reward from Galvan the Ancient!
- You Are The Big Winner!
Description
When you first came to me, I knew that you would turn out to be one of my finest pupils! It was without hesitancy that you gave up a trinket of some power to McGavan. You did this only so that you could meet me. Such blind faith and devotion to the craft should be rewarded.
You have attained expertise over blacksmithing, <name>. Reap the rewards!
Completion
It is only fitting that you receive a trinket of far greater power than the one you sacrificed to get here. Use it in good health, <name>.
Reward
- 3900 experience (or a 33 compensation at level 70)
- [Signet of Expertise]

- When you get this quest, Galvan will start to bustle around, forging metal and banging steel. When he is done, you can complete the quest and he will give you the Signet as the reward.
- The Signet will summon a
