Argyve

An old man with sand and soot in his beard. Innumerable baubles and curios clutter his workshop, shaded from the sunsear by a sheet of metal pitched upon the roof of his hut. One of Argyve's bushy eyebrows is perpetually cocked, though whether that's owed to an insatiable curiosity or forehead mutation is unknown.

Perfect

Argyve is a unique NPC and quest giver found in Joppa, assuming that the player did not choose one of the random village starts. Additionally, he serves as Joppa's village tinker, a vendor who sells scrap and data disks.

The quests he gives, Fetch Argyve a Knickknack, Fetch Argyve Another Knickknack, Weirdwire Conduit.. Eureka!, and A Canticle for Barathrum, are the first 4 quests in the main quest of Caves of Qud.

Due to Argyve being a member of the Barathrumites, a faction which is hated by the Mechanimists faction, any members of the Mechanimists will be hostile to Argyve. This is relevant because there is a Mechanimist present in Joppa, the zealot of the Six Day Stilt who grants the O Glorious Shekhinah! quest. This Zealot will, in their random pathfinding around Joppa, eventually catch sight of Argyve, with whom they will immediately pick a fight and die. It is thus advisable to get the O Glorious Shekhinah! quest early on in a playthrough, before Argyve kills the Zealot in self-defense.

Trivia

  • Argyve briefly mentions a former apprentice by the name of Skref after the player completes Fetch Argyve Another Knickknack. The flattened remains are implied to belong to Skref.
