Anonymous 3 monthsJust a correction in case anyone comes here confused: you actually get the Drifter's Cloak in Far Fields, which is just beyond Deep Docks, not Greymoor. A different (equippable) skill can be found in Greymoor. It also requires a wish fulfillment quest for an NPC (Seamstress) because it's an item, not an innate skill.
