Yak's Bend

Yak's Bend is reached after the Fourth mission (post sear). It can also be reached with more difficulty by traversing the mountains (via The Breach, Diessa Lowlands, Ascalon Foothills, etc>).

Previously it was the first location where expert salvage kits and runes of holding could be purchased.

A number of skills can be obtained from Captain Osric at Yak's Bend (noteably Fireball, ....). And some others can be obtained here from quests.
