As other have commented, this quest is buggy (because it shards you at each step).
You don't have to relog though.
Simply abandon quest and pick it back up.
Be sure that you wait for each step to complete and as mentioned, don't talk to him until it's completed.

Description

I don't know much about blacksmithing, but I'm pretty sure this won't be enough silver to outfit all of the Inquisitors. We will need to find another way to use this. Let us hope that Ballaster can come up with something... creative.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Precious MetalsDrustvar · Level 20-60

    <class>, I have another objective we should consider. The Bleak Hills Mine is not too far from our location. Though the miners there principally extract iron, they do on occasion find silver among the veins.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • WitchrendingDrustvar · Level 20-60

    A blunderbuss? I'd have to say, I wasn't quite expecting that. Nonetheless, now that we have a weapon, we have an advantage. I think it's time we take the fight directly to the coven. Marshal Reade informed me that several of their Matrons have been spotted throughout Corlain.
