Head to your map and fast-travel to Dalimil. Speak to Ignac; he is upstairs in the tavern. You’ll be tasked to retrieve items from bandits.

Head to Velkroy Desert; defeat the bandits in the northeastern section of the map. After you defeat them, you will head back to Dalimil Inn; job well done!

Head to Blackthorne’s at the Hideaway to wrap up the quest; you’ll get the Excalibur Design Draft to make the Excalibur sword. To make the sword, you need to get the following materials:
