Description

Ah! {name}! Just the person I was hoping to see! I was just getting ready to smelt some monelite down into ingots, but I noticed my coal supply was running low. Well, I mean... I have coal, yes, but I prefer using Ashvane Coal. It puts out less smoke and burns hotter, so I need less of it. If you can get some Ashvane Coal from the Ashvane Foundry south of here, I'd be more than willing to give you a couple pointers for mining monelite. Deal?

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
