“Slay rock dogs, or trade jotun objects from surrounding areas in exchange for jotun runestones; give runestones to Albin.
— Heart objective
Help Albin Chronicler trade with the jotun tribe is a renown heart in The Icesteppes, Wayfarer Foothills.
Walkthrough[edit]
Contributing actions[edit]
This renown heart requires facilitating trade between two groups of jotuns and bringing back Jotun Runestones to Albin Chronicler. There are four basic ways to proceed:
- Collect nearby items and trade them to the jotun offering the best price in runestones — 5% heart progress
- Facilitate trade between the two sets of jotuns, gaining additional runestones along the way — 5% heart progress for buying, another 5% for selling
- Give Jotun Runestones to Albin Chronicler — 2% heart progress each
- Defeat Rock Dogs spawning in the area — 10% heart progress
The first method is the simplest and requires finding 9 objects. The second can be done with fewer transactions and some consider it to be more enjoyable. In both cases, you need to pick up one of the objects listed below and trade with at least one jotun get get started.
Defeating Rock Dogs can speed up the whole process, but it may take a while if there are other players killing them too. It is a good idea to just kill them when they are around and not wait for them to spawn.
Available objects[edit]
See the color marked map to the right for the locations of the objects listed below:
| Object | Skill | Sell to | Sell price | Color mark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loose Ore | Throw Rock | East, Kakifein | 5 | Blue |
| Griffon Egg | Eat Egg | East, Grokor | 5 | Red |
| Rabbit Hole | Hare's Speed | West, Trugg | 5 | Pink |
- Some jotun will offer two runestones for the items above; others will refuse to trade for them.
- Each bundle offers a specific skill, however using that skill destroys the bundle and prevents you from trading, except for the Hare's Speed provided by the rabbits.
- Bundles disappear if not sold or used within a certain period of time.

- 1 Rangers can use Charm Rabbit with the rabbit traded for two Jotun Runestones by interacting with the cage behind Kakifein. This will summon a Friendly Rabbit ally that will not follow the player. The rabbit will roam the area for a very long time attacking any foes it encounters until it dies or disappears. Rabbits from Rabbit Holes will not provide this skill.
- 2 Norn Supplies is an item that goes into inventory. Although none of the jotun will buy it, it can be used to complete Recover supplies stolen by the grawl and return them to Thraeingr.
Completion message[edit]
Notes[edit]
- Make sure you have some room in your inventory before starting, otherwise you will not receive runestones, will not be notified about successful transactions, and will slow down your progress.
- After completing the renown heart, players can still use their remaining Jotun Runestones when interacting with the unnamed objects to buy from the jotun, but they will not buy back the bundles.
