You know, ore isn’t the only thing you can find while mining. Maybe you’ve managed to find a few gemstones by now, eh?
Tell you what, if you can bring me a few gemstones, I have a nicer mining pick for you. I don’t care how you get them either. Mine them yourself or trade others for them, it makes no difference to me.
Bring me one uncut citrine, one uncut spinel, and one uncut topaz gemstone and I’ll trade you this nice mining pick here.
