How do I deal with the nobles digging up the forest?
  • 1 of 8: After you meet the forest spirit Merella at your cabin, go back to the temple area.
  • 2 of 8: The people who are digging up the forest are in the southern part -- they're hard to miss.
  • 3 of 8: Don't be hostile, and ask to help them find what they're looking for.
  • 4 of 8: They'll give you a piece of a journal, which gives a hint to where the mithril is.
  • 5 of 8: The second part is in a cell in the temple.
  • 6 of 8: The cache you're looking for is in the southeast corner of the map, guarded by skeleton warriors and lesser undead.
  • 7 of 8: Take the mithril necklace and the note from the cache and return to the noble.
  • 8 of 8: Refuse the small gold reward for extra XP.
