Precious Metals (Alliance)

Precious Metals is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-60 in Drustvar. It is step 5 of 9 in the Corlain storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 31.2, 29.9. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

<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.

We do not know the current state of the mine, but it's unlikely that the coven has passed it over. However, it would be worth braving whatever dangers lie there to recover some silver to use against them.

I actually ran out of silver nuggets laying on the ground outside of the mine, and the quest outline on the minimap doesn't show they will spawn inside the mine, but if you go inside the mine, there is in fact a lot of the silver nuggets on the ground.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Steady BallastDrustvar · Level 20-60

    The Armory presents us a ripe opportunity, <class>... one I suggest we take. If this battle were to draw out, we have little means to repair our arms and armor. A blacksmith is invaluable to any war effort, and Ballaster is one of our best. The Armory is but a short ride from here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Improvised ArsenalDrustvar · Level 20-60

    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.
