Blacksmith's Blues: Walkthrough

Blacksmith's Blues begins when you speak to August. He'll tell you that Blackthorne, the blacksmith, seems off, and wants your help to see what's bothering him.

Head over to Blackthorne, in his usual spot, and speak to him. Once the chat's done, you'll next need to speak with Charon, who's nearby at her shop. Afterwards, your next stop is the hunt board.

Follow the marker to it and speak to Nektar, then select 'Ask about griffin sightings'. Take a look at the listing for the griffin, which is located at Caer Norvent West Gate.

Fast travel to Lostwing, then head through Cutter's Gate, southeast, towards Caer Norvent River Gate. There, you'll need to defeat Dozmare the griffin.
