Gothic 3 Hints
Take Ali's gift to Tom.
1 of 9: Talk to Tom near the tavern at the SE end of town to get this mission.
2 of 9: You can find Ali wandering the paths that lead to the castle and to the pass to Nordmar, but talking to him about the artifact only reveals that it's some sort of stone.
3 of 9: Maybe he's storing it somewhere nearby.
4 of 9: Go up the stairs next to the tavern building and look around in the bedroom area up there.
5 of 9: There's a locked chest against the far wall called "Ali's chest."
6 of 9: If you can pick it open, you can take the ancestor stone from it plus whatever else is in it. You'll get 500 XP and Thieving +1 for taking the stone.
7 of 9: NOTE: I've heard that Ali sometimes has the stone on him, so if it's not in the chest, beat up Ali somewhere that's isolated and take the stone from him.
8 of 9: Once you have the stone, turn it over to Tom for a reward of 1000 XP, four Faring rep points, and Hunting Skill +1.
9 of 9: After you finish the "Go lurker hunting with Wilson" mission and officially become a hunter, you can ask Tom to give you the ancestor stone (and 500 XP) so that you can take it to Nordmar. (It's used in one of the Nordmar missions.)
