Dialogue
Ah, fresh meat! / Hey, soft-skin! / What's up, rock muncher! / Yo, whippersnapper!
- Name's Thordal Ironvein, sweet cheeks.
- Been breaking rocks and back-ends since before you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye.
- Now I'm stuck babysitting newcomers like you, thanks to the fancy pants government.
- So if you're interested in knowing more about mining, I'm at your service.
- Mining is a fascinating profession. You've to find veins, and they're all different, each demanding a unique approach.
- Start with metal veins when you're a greenhorn, and as you dig deeper into the profession, you can tackle Polymetal and Ancient veins.
- The rockier the terrain, the better the chances of spotting veins. So, the best place to look for them is Westwind Woods.
- Pay no mind to Dusktide Forest and Windreach Woods - all you'll find there are damn trees and bushes.
- Grasslands and Glaives do have veins, but they're just small fry. But hey, if that's what you're after, I won't object.
- And don't venture deep into the woods - it's teeming with all sorts of nasty creatures, and few ever return from there.
- Just stick to the edge of the forest like all the other newcomers.
- Once you spot a vein, keep at it. Focus, and extract everything you can. No distractions.
- From these veins, you'll usually gather Soft Crystal, Iron Ore, Ancient Fossils, and Meteoric Metal.
- If you're lucky, you might find Moonstone, Ruby, Titanium Nugget, or even a Diamond.
- Hit the jackpot, and you could discover Isotope-238 or Thermium Liquidum. Those are a miner's dream.
- Some of these resources can be repurposed into other materials using the crafting bench. They're essential components of many a weapon, armor, consumable, and the like.
- That's all the theory you need, newbie. Now go break some rocks!
[If not accepted Ironvein Wisdom]
- Think you can handle a pickaxe, fresh meat?
- Mining is not for the faint-hearted, youngster. It takes guts to face the mighty mountains and extract the treasures hidden within.
- For this task, I want you to head to Westwind Woods. It's the best place to find Metal Veins.
- Sure, you might stumble upon veins in other places, but nothing compares to the abundance in Westwind Woods.
- Legend has it, a mighty river once flowed there, and when it dried up, it left behind a treasure trove of metal veins.
- Extract Soft Crystal from the veins, then process it into Powder Filler. Sounds easy, right?
- But watch your back, the woods are crawling with creatures that are drawn to the sound of mining.
- Oh, and one more thing. This Powder Filler stuff is hot property. Alchemists can't get enough of it.
- Ask me why? Beats me! Maybe they snort it or sprinkle it on their butts. All I know is they pay well for it.
[Ironvein Wisdom]
- Right on, youngster! I knew you had it in you.
- Remember, extract Soft Crystal from Metal Vein and turn it into Powder Filler. And mind the critters in Westwind Woods.
