Put a Spring in Thy Step begins on the road leading to the Volcanic Island Camp in Agamen Volcanic Island.
Gautstafr requests that you find and give him three wildflowers. You'll most likely already have some in your inventory, as wildflowers include Syrupwort Leaf, Pitywort, Morningtide, Grandpetal, Goldthistle, and more!
After handing over the wildflowers to Gautstafr, he invites you to visit his home to receive your reward. Follow him to his house to get your reward and meet his wife, Cliodhna.
Enter their home and witness their conversation about going to the hot springs. Talk to Gautstafr and offer to escort him to the spring.
Right as you step inside Windwalker's Home, you'll find the Newt Liqueur sitting on top of a table. This is used in The Sotted Sage quest.
The Sotted Sage Walkthrough and Location
Escort Gautstafr safely to Geyser Hamlet. Do mind that Gautstafr walks slowly, and you'll have to protect him from monsters en route to the destination.
You can carry him all the way to the springs, but you'll need to release him to deal with some enemies along the way.
You'll learn that Cliodhna followed you all the way to the spring to oversee your journey. She offers to teach you her knowledge and skills as the Magick Archer-Maister, unlocking the Magick Archer vocation.
Talk to Cliodhna again after the quest to receive the Spellbow's Paradox, which teaches you the Martyr's Bolt weapon skill, and to get an escort request.
How to Unlock Magick Archer and Best Skills
Upon completing the quest, you can now also visit Gautstafr in his home to purchase equipment and have him enhance your equipment using Dwarven smithing.
This smithing style is arguably the best since it will significantly increase your Knockdown strength and resistance
