Luckily, the location of Zahir's store was marked on the map, so Kaizen immediately headed there, forgetting the idea of going to a tavern for information because he already got the knowledge he sought after he spoke with Pavin Dunhall.
With his next destination set, Kaizen knew he needed to gear himself before he went to venture into the Howling Canyons. Visiting Zahir's store would help him with this problem and also help with his profession as a blacksmith.
Although he had made a masterpiece of Mutant Classification, Kaizen did not evolve from the profession of Apprentice Blacksmith, so he could not yet create his own diagrams. Maybe the best thing to do now at the time would be to start working for another blacksmith in exchange for a salary while he tries to figure out what is needed to evolve his profession.
The way from the Adventurers' Association to the store of the dwarf Zahir was short since both were near the spawn square.
