The Hidden Veins

The Hidden Veins is a repeatable, solo quest in Lineage 2 Scryde for characters of level 6–15. It starts with Filaur in Dwarven Village.

Elder Filaur, an expert in the construction and mining business, has learned that Otuk Orcs have recently discovered a long-lost chrysolite mine.

The Hidden Veins walkthrough

The quest The Hidden Veins, for soulshots and adena. Start level: 6. Start location: the dwarven village. Start NPC: Filaur (Filaur). No requirements. Repeatable. Only for dwarves. Reward: soulshots (at the first hand-in) and adena.

  1. Dwarven Village. Find Gray Pillar Member Filaur in the main hall of the village and take the quest.

    A must for everybody! The quest is taken from the sixth level in the elders' house from the NPC Filaur (the far right one from the entrance to the Elder Council); for the quest you have to beat Utuku Orcs, the nearest ones, of the 6th level, stand around the village. If you need only the soulshots and not the adena, as soon as we collect a few Chrysolite Ore we go to the start NPC, and at the first hand-in he gives out no-grade soulshots (the last time I got 6000 soulshots for beginners). After that you may give the quest up, but let it be: we rush about here anyway, a little adena will drip in.

  2. Hunt Utuku Orc (lv. 6), Utuku Orc Grunt (lv. 7), Utuku Orc Archer (lv. 8) until you have: Chrysolite Ore, Torn Map Fragment. Where: Dwarven Village, Western Mining Zone.

    The mobs to hunt are various orcs of the Utuku tribe; the smallest of them are of the sixth and seventh levels, but there are older ones too, I will list them all now. Utuku Orc, lvl 6, are around the village. Utuku Orc Grunt, lvl 7, are on the way to the Abandoned Coal Mines. Utuku Orc Archer, lvl 8, are on the way to the Western Mining Zone. Chrysolite Ore and Torn Map Fragments will drop from them.

  3. Talk to Priestess of the Earth Chichirin. Hand over: Torn Map Fragment ×4. You receive: Hidden Ore Map.

    The map fragments drop very badly, but if you collect 4 pieces, Priestess of the Earth Chichirin (who stands in the house behind the gatekeeper, the house is called the Temple of Maphr) can glue them into the map Hidden Ore Map, for which 500 adena is given. Naturally, the NPC does not accept the Torn Map Fragments themselves.

  4. Return to Gray Pillar Member Filaur in the main hall of the village to complete the quest. Hand over: Chrysolite Ore, Hidden Ore Map.

    And as is usual in all these starting quests for adena, there are rules for handing the items in optimally, to get the maximum amount of adena. Each item costs 5 adena, BUT! when 10 items are handed in, a bonus of 2000 adena is given. And however many items above those 10 you hand in, the bonus is given only once per hand-in, and all the items are still counted at 5 adena. That is, there is no sense in collecting a huge number of items, because whether you hand in ten pieces or a thousand, the bonus is given only once. So it is much more profitable to run to the nearest orcs, collect 10 pieces and run to hand them in at once, getting the bonus every time. A clear example: if you hand in 100 items at once, you get 2000 + 500 = 2500 adena, and if you run and hand in 10 at a time, you get 2050 * 10 = 20500 adena. Is there a difference? There is, and a considerable one.

You want work? Huh! If I gave you work, people will start saying that the Dwarves make their guests run errands! I don't want to be lax in my hospitality to guests. Don't overexert yourself, and since you have come all the way to the Dwarf country, sample our native products!

(Quest for Dwarven characters.)

Have you heard of a metal called chrysolite? This material is used by the maestros to craft high quality armor and weapons. Until now, the entire supply has been imported from Gracia, but we have just discovered that there are veins of this rare metal not very far from here.

We're planning to work on developing these new veins soon, and need the help of energetic young Dwarves. I'll ask you for help soon, so be prepared.

(Quest for Dwarven characters level 6 and above.)

While I was making an inspection of the Mithril Mine, I was attacked by Utuku Orcs. Fortunately, my guards defeated the Orcs, but I found out something very interesting...

Rough ore was found in the pockets of the defeated Orcs, and I assume it is used as currency between Orcs. The guards are all members of the Iron Gate and didn't recognize the ore, but I noticed at once that the ore is rough chrysolite.

As you know, chrysolite is used by the maestros to make high quality armor and weapons. Until now, the entire supply has been imported from Gracia, but this incident has provided a new method of acquiring that rare metal. But to take advantage of this opportunity, I need the help of young, energetic Dwarves like you.

  • Say you will help

If you leave the village and go to the minefield, you will see many Utuku Orcs. Bring me the Chrysolite Ore that you collect after defeating them. I will reward you based on the amount of the ore you bring back.

But more importantly, you should find out where the ore comes from. I ordered some investigators of the guild to find out, but I haven't gotten any useful information from them. I only know that there are many hidden chrysolite veins somewhere in the Spine Mine Field, and only a few Utuku Orcs know the locations.

Sending investigators was a mistake, because the Orcs now know that the veins are important. I hear they tore the Maps that indicate the location of the veins into many pieces and scattered them throughout the territory. If you find the pieces of the Maps, you must go to Priestess of the Earth Chichirin in the temple. She will help you to combine the Maps. I will give you a generous reward once you bring me the completed Maps.

I am sorry, but if you come back with empty hands I can't reward you, no matter how hard you tried. As I mentioned before, I will reward you based on the amount of Chrysolite Ore that you collect after defeating the Utuku Orcs.

And don't forget ...If you collect four pieces of a torn Map, you should visit Chichirin in the Maphr Temple. If you ask her for help, she will combine those torn pieces and make a complete Map. I will give you a generous reward once you bring me the completed Maps.

  • Say you will quit
  • Say you will continue

You've done well, young Dwarf. This ore you have brought may look rough, but once it goes through the trained hands of craftsmen, it becomes a precious metal with a brilliant blue luster. True maestros should be able to find the beauty hidden in plain objects.

As promised, I will reward you based on the amount of ore you have brought. And, don't forget ... If you collect four pieces of a torn Map, you should visit Chichirin in the Maphr Temple. If you ask her for help, she will combine those torn pieces and make a complete Map. I will give you a generous reward once you bring me the completed Maps.

You want to quit already? I am very disappointed ... I thought you'd be more dedicated than that. Although you might not earn much profit now, you can receive a big reward once you put more time into it ... Young ones, they are too impatient these days ... Tsk tsk ...

Think about how much money we can save if we can actually mine chrysolite instead of importing it. This task is not only an achievement for our Gray Pillar Guild, it is an advancement for our entire Dwarven Kingdom. Don't forget this. Please carry on.

Ohh! You have obtained a complete Map! Well done! We can finally find out the location of the hidden chrysolite vein! I will reward you as promised. This should be enough.

Let me see ... Hmm ... Oh. Stupid Orcs, their Map is too hard to read. But I can still roughly figure out the location. My investigators will have no problem locating the vein.

As I said before, there are many hidden veins. Continue to find more Maps! I will reward you whenever you bring new Maps, so don't worry about that.

I heard from Filaur of the Gray Pillar. You are trying to recover some old Maps, right? I used to be an apprentice for the cartography guild before becoming a seer. I helped Master Diana recover the Map that shows the sites of the ancient giants.

  • Ask her to recover the Map

I'm sorry, but you don't have enough pieces of the torn Map. Look here. You don't have this part. See, just there? I think I need four pieces of the torn Map to make a complete Map.

Let me see ... This part should be on the upper left-hand corner ... This should be under that piece ... If I put this here ...

There! It is a little loose, but I have managed to create a rough Map. I have never seen these characters before. These are neither the giants' nor the Elves' writing. Clumsy lines and bad handwriting ... it seems like a race with lousy craftsmanship made this Map ... Perhaps the Humans?
