Bring Me Zinc

Bring 20 lumps of [200230|Zinc Ore] to [110017|Olute], Novice Mining Instructor in [ZONE_VARANAS|Varanas].

Looks like you really enjoy working in caves!
I have seen quite a few students who can't put up with it and run off. But you've kept to it. That's great...

Actually, I'm facing some difficulties here... I can hardly keep up with the huge consumption of zinc! Aha! If you could get 20 lumps of [200230|Zinc Ore] for me, I will teach you more mining skills. Then you would be able to become a craftsman. That is a great deal for you!

Thank you very much! That reduces my workload a great deal.

As we agreed, I will teach you how to identify ores and what you need to pay attention to when mining! But I am only an instructor. Whether you progress or not after becoming a craftsman will depend solely on you!

To tell you the truth, the mineral resources near [ZONE_VARANAS|Varanas] is not very rich. The place where there is plenty of deposit is the [ZONE_DUSKTHORN QUARRY|Twilight Mine]. But it is just an abandoned mine. There is really not enough ore to meet the demand in the city just by collecting by ourselves.

I did propose to buy ore from the [ZONE_OBSIDIAN BASTION|Obsidian Stronghold]. After all they used to be a professional mining organization and they still own the land with abundant deposit of ore. But the negotiation did not go very well... Let me tell you something in private: I just asked the ambassador from the Order of Dark Glory who arrived here just recently. He said a monster was dug out from their mine. So the output of ore has been affected. It is really terrible, isn't it?
