Get Ava's Accumulator through Animal Magnetism and the Crystal Bow through Heartstrings. We cover the required supplies, the dialogue that enables Animal Magnetism pickups, and the seven memorial stones needed to finish Heartstrings.

Ava's Accumulator: Requirements and the Pickup Blocker

Ava's Accumulator occupies the cape slot, adds a 10% arrow-recovery chance, and automatically collects recovered arrows. The item description specifies arrows; it does not establish crossbow-bolt recovery.

Treat recovery as a supply benefit, not a guaranteed return every tenth shot.

Start Animal Magnetism Correctly

Find Manktongue in a ruined house in southwestern Fractured Plains. The critical step comes after your first conversation: read the bottle message on the table behind him, then speak to him again.

Skipping that second conversation prevents you from collecting the requested quest ingredients.

Follow this starting sequence:

1. Speak to Manktongue.

2. Read the Advert-Inna-Bottle on the table behind him.

3. Speak to Manktongue again to enable ingredient collection.

4. Gather the undead chicken, bundle of undead twigs, and magnet.

5. Follow the remaining hand-in steps in the Animal Magnetism walkthrough.

Pack the confirmed supplies before leaving camp.

Bring the bar and runes first; if a quest pickup remains unavailable, check the second conversation before searching another location.

The walkthrough lists no mandatory enemy kills, but collection areas contain putrid rats, garous, and an abyssal demon. No required combat does not mean a safe collection route.

Craft a Replacement After the Quest

Completing Animal Magnetism also enables additional Accumulators to be crafted at an Armour Bench.

The replacement recipe uses four materials.

Store a replacement kit if you depend on the cape; another copy does not require repeating the quest.Recipe source

Crystal Bow: Complete the Seven-Stone Heartstrings Route

Heartstrings rewards the Crystal Bow and its crafting recipe. Complete Getting Started first, then begin at the glowing memorial stone beside the blue-leaved tree above the first Fractured Plains dungeon. Quest source

We recommend packing air runes for Windstep, antipoison, and suitable combat equipment. The quest lists no mandatory starting items.

Reach the First Stone With Windstep

If the climb blocks your progress, use the rocks to the right of the dungeon entrance. The documented route uses repeated Windstep casts to reach the tree above.

1. Locate the first Fractured Plains dungeon entrance.

2. Move to the rocks on its right.

3. Cast Windstep upward toward the blue-leaved tree.

4. Search the glowing memorial stone.

5. Confirm that the crystal seed appears in your quest inventory.

Do not leave without checking the seed.

Visit All Seven Stones in Order

The route contains seven memorial stones, progressing eastward from the first. Interact with them in order; reaching a later tree is not a substitute for completing earlier interactions.

Use this progression checklist.

Follow the numbered order and leave room in your main inventory before the final interaction.

The walkthrough states that the quest will not complete without space to receive the Crystal Bow. You can also encounter wolves and garou along the route, so prepare for more than the initial climb.

How do we get Ava's Accumulator in Dragonwilds?

Complete Animal Magnetism, starting with Manktongue in southwestern Fractured Plains. Read the bottle message behind him and speak to him again before attempting to collect quest ingredients.

Does Ava's Accumulator recover crossbow bolts?

Bolt recovery is not confirmed by the cited item description, which specifies arrows. We would not plan crossbow ammunition supplies around an undocumented recovery effect.

How much ammunition does Ava's Accumulator save?

It adds a 10% arrow-recovery chance, not a guaranteed 10% reduction in every trip's ammunition use. Recovery varies between shots, so carry spare arrows for long expeditions.

How do we get another Ava's Accumulator?

Craft another at an Armour Bench after completing Animal Magnetism. Each copy requires 4 Padded Cloth, 2 Oak Logs, 1 Iron Bar, and 5 Law Runes.

Why won't Heartstrings finish at the final tree?

Check that you have inventory space for the Crystal Bow; the quest cannot complete without it. Also confirm that you interacted with all seven memorial stones in order, then perform the final song interaction.
