Take Advantage of the Crisis!

Have you heard about the changes in the Mithril Mines? I'm talking about those malicious Wererats that overran the place.

You do know about Wererats, right? Nasty things with face of a rat and those beady, greedy eyes that are always looking for something to steal. And that sound they make....

Now they're in the Mithril Mines!

• "So what?"

At first, we thought that the lost Wererats had trickled into the dark and damp mines for a place to rest. You know, lost monsters have been coming into the mines for ages.

But that wasn't it. They had entered the mines for some specific purpose. Their numbers slowly increased, until one day, it seemed that they would take over the whole place.

Also...

• "Also...?"

So what? These vicious things could knock even you flat on your back if you aren't careful. What chance does your average miner have?!

It's not safe, and now the Gray Pillar Guild have shut down whole sections of the Mines in order to stop the trickle of casualties becoming a flood.

• "Oh. I see."

This is a serious issue -- even at full strength, the mine barely keeps pace with the demand for mithril. With much of it closed and our miners afraid to enter...

But we of the Gray Pillar Guild don't intend to simply accept this new state of affairs.

We do need capable adventurers willing to help us cleanse the Mithril Mine. Interested?

• "What should I do?"

Have you heard about what's happening in the Mithril Mine? Those nasty Wererats have infested it!

I'm not sure what they are up to, but a powerful evil force is spreading there... You're obviously too inexperienced to do anything useful, though. Take care not to get in the way or you'll probably wind up dead!

(Only characters who are level 80 or higher may undertake this quest.)

I hate to admit it, but Wererats are in fact as gifted as Dwarves when it comes to mining. They can move around in total darkness like it was noon, and small spaces don't bother them at all. Since that evil aura has descended on the mine, our Dwarven miners have been unable to do their work. We've been forced to rely on the Wererats to mine the minerals, but now they refuse to give them to us.

I need you to go defeat the Wererats and bring back the minerals they mined! I will reward you for hunting them and for returning with the mined material.

What do you say? Will you do it?

• Say yes.

Please destroy the following monsters in the Mithril Mine: Grave Robber Summoners, Grave Robber Magicians, Grave Robber Workers, Grave Robber Warriors and Grave Robber Insane Warriors, since they seem to be the chief ones causing the trouble. While you're at it, destroy their subordinates in the Stakato Nest: Servitors of Darkness, Phantoms of the Mine, Mine Bugs and Earthworm's Descendants.

Bring me enough Mineral Fragments as evidence and I will give you a reward: either a recipe or Premium Materials containing the secrets of Dwarven armor

What are you still doing standing there? Get moving!

Hey, you! Why are you still here?

Those monsters won't kill themselves, you know! Hunt Grave Robber Summoners, Grave Robber Magicians, Grave Robber Workers, Grave Robber Warriors, and Grave Robber Insane Warriors, as well as their subordinates Servitors of Darkness, Phantoms of the Mine, Mine Bugs and Earthworm's Descendants. Then bring me Mineral Fragments as evidence. Anything to say for yourself?

• "I'm going, I'm going!"
• Say you want to quit.

It looks like you have collected some mineral fragments.

Well... What will you do?

• "I will exchange the mineral fragments for a reward."
• "I will be back after I collect some more."
• "I wish to quit the mission."

Choose which reward you'd like to receive.

• Trade Mineral Fragments for S80 Armor Recipe.
• Trade Mineral Fragments for Giant's Codex: Obvilion or Discpline.
• Trade Mineral Fragments for Premium Materials.

Do you want S80 Armor Recipe?

Now, what would you like to do?

• Exchange 244 Mineral Fragments with the Recipe - Sealed Dynasty Leather Armor (60%).
• Exchange 153 Mineral Fragments with the Recipe - Sealed Dynasty Leather Legging (60%).
• Exchange 122 Mineral Fragments with the Recipe - Sealed Dynasty Leather Helmet (60%).

Do you want Premium Materials?

Very well. What did you have in mind?

• Trade 24 Mineral Fragments for Leonard.
• Trade 43 Mineral Fragments for Adamantine.
• Trade 36 Mineral Fragments for Orichalcum.

Do you wanta Giant's Codex?

Very well. Which one did you have in mind?

• Trade 667 Mineral Fragments for Giant's Codex: Oblivion.
• Trade 1000 Mineral Fragments for Giant's Codex: Discipline.

This should be reward enough for your work.

Do you have any other business with me?

• Trade Mineral Fragments for a reward.
• Say you want to quit.
• Keep hunting.

You do not have enough Mineral Fragments to trade for that item.

You are not trying to scam a Dwarf, are you? Ha ha!

• Trade for another item.
• Say you want to quit.
• Keep hunting.

Keep up the good work! Bring me as many Mineral Fragments as you can find, and both of us will make a pretty penny out of this little project.

What!? Well, I'm not surprised. I always thought you looked like a quitter. But don't you still have Mineral Fragments you haven't traded to me? Why not do so before you leave?

• Trade Mineral Fragments for a reward.
• Say you still want to quit.

What!? Well, I'm not surprised. I always thought you looked like a quitter. I'll find someone better in no time!

Stranger from foreign lands, you are welcome as a guest to our town. It is not polite to ask favors of our guests. Please make yourself comfortable and find rest under the shade of the Mother Tree.

(This quest may only be undertaken by Elf characters.)

My sisters and I are in charge of taking care of the young Mother Trees in the forest. This task lets us see the changes to the Mother Trees and the Elven woods in all four seasons, and we find it a delightful task. The nectar that gives we children of the forest our nearly eternal lives is made from the Fruit of The Mother Tree.

Fruit harvests have been gradually decreasing lately, and I think it is because of the spores that spread to our woods from the Sea of Spores on the other side of the mountain. At this rate, we may not be able to make nectar anymore.

My sister Thalia is the protector of the Mother Tree near Lake Iris, and has said that the Mother Tree there may soon bear fruit. Do you think you could go and get the fruit from her when it is ready?

(Elf characters with Level 3 and higher may undertake this quest.)

My sisters and I are in charge of taking care of the young Mother Trees in the forest. It is our joy in life to take care of the Mother Trees in all four seasons while keeping company with the creatures of the beautiful Elven Forest. The nectar that gives us children of the forest our nearly eternal lives is made from the Fruit of The Mother Tree.

Fruit harvests have been gradually decreasing lately, and I think it is because of the spores that spread to our woods from the Sea of Spores on the other side of the mountain.

A few days ago, I received a letter from my younger sister, Thalia, that the Mother Tree near Lake Iris had borne fruit. We sisters cannot travel far from our Mother Trees, as we must stay close and maintain our tie to it. My sister has probably finished her harvest by now. Would you be able to travel there and bring back the fruit from her?

No one but us sisters may harvest the Mother Tree's fruits, and it is a rare opportunity to be able to see a real Mother Tree fruit in person.

• Say you will perform the task

Thank you so much. First, take this letter. Show it to Thalia and she will know that I sent you. Get the Mother Tree fruit from her and bring it back to me. Please hurry, as the fruit may spoil. We cannot make nectar from spoiled fruit.

Just follow the southern path from the village to reach Lake Iris. My sister Thalia lives in the small observatory on the eastern lake shore.

Thank you in advance and please send her my regards.

Oh, you haven't left yet. Take my letter to my sister Thalia and bring back the Mother Tree fruit. Follow the southern path from the village to reach Lake Iris. My sister Thalia lives in the small observatory around the lake on the eastern shore.

Please hurry, as the fruit may spoil. Thank you.

Thank you. You have performed an important deed, not only for my sisters and I, but for all of the children of the forest. I will give you this as a token of our thanks. It will be useful someday.

Kind traveler, may Eva's smile light your path.

My sister Andellia has sent you, I see. This is the Mother Tree fruit I harvested this year. It is a very precious fruit, the only one that has been harvested this year. Please deliver it safely to my sister Andellia in the village.

• Ask about the geography around Lake Iris

Haven't you left yet? Please deliver this Mother Tree fruit to Andellia. You need to get there before the fruit spoils ...

• Ask about the geography around Lake Iris

Lake Iris has an irregular shape. North of the lake is the Elven Village, while the falls are located to the northwest. To the west is the Underground Elven Fortress. Beyond the Misty Mountains north of the village, there is a place which was formerly a battlefield ... But now, everything there has become deformed due to magical influences, only the poisonous Sea of Spores remains.
