The Fledgling Miner Oreverwhelming Passion!

There ya are! The Guild Office sent word a kid'd be swingin' by.
Yer name's [Player], ain't it? I'm Duglas. This guy here's my brother, Brock.
Oh yeah, right, right. By mad. I mean...my bad.
All right, I'm itchin' to learn all about the most rockin' Life in Reveria! So start teachin'!
Teach me the ways of takin' a pickaxe to those itch door reposits! Uh...I mean...rich ore deposits.
What? I said it right the second time, didn't I?
Huh?
Oh... Yeah, I guess that makes more sense.
You wanna be a Miner? Of course ya do!
Hmm. Good idea. Anyone worth their ore will tell ya, kid...
Bein' a Riner MOCKS! I mean...bein' a Miner ROCKS!
*ahem* Dig! Dig! Dig! And when yer done diggin', dig some ore! Er... Yeah, that's right. Dig some ore!
Whatcha think?
Fine, fine.
If you think it's so simple, you explain it to the kid!
That's right! Pining is may dirt! I mean...mining is pay dirt!
Brock, when did ya get so good at giving explanations?
Aw, you'll find a special someone. Lots of riamonds in the duff out there! Er...diamonds in the rough.
Um... Back to you, [Player]. You ready to ROCK?
First thing you're gonna do is give me a brand-new pickaxe!
Uhh...
Oh, right! I'm givin' YOU a pickaxe! Duh. Wow... This is embarrassin'.
It, uhh...looks like I left that all-important pickaxe at home.
*ahem* Rocque? You know what that means, right?
You're heading to my neighborhood in the Artisan District. My wife, Ruby, should be able to help ya!
Man, I really owe ya one, Rick!
There's the ol' pickaxe! That's for you to keep.
All right, lemme show you how to properly use one of those things.
Hey... What's with the veered wibe? Uh, I mean, weird vibe. Why are you two lookin' at me like that?
I haven't done anything more scatterbrained than usual recently, have I?
Come on! Out with it!
HUH?! ME?! That's a lack of pies! I mean...that's a pack of lies!
Did...did Ruby tell you that?
Really? My booger sheet... I mean, my sugar beet said that? About me?
But I've loved her and her alone since way before I took her mand in hairage...uh, hand in marriage.
I'll have to sort this out later. I'm here to teach you about good, wholesome mining!
There's no funny business in mining, understand?! This is sompletely curious. Er...completely serious.
We'll start off with something simple. Try mining that Castele Copper.
Three's a good number. You should be able to get into the swing of things over there.
[Name 2], I want you to start off by mining three pieces of Castele Copper. Go spit 'em, gort! Er...go get 'em, sport!
If ya run out of mining spots, just give ol' Rocque a holler.
He'll go ahead and find ya s'more o' them prospectin' prospects.
Hold on. Let's make this more interesting.
All right, if you bring me some ore by the time I finish countin', you pass!
Strike true, strike hard, kid! It's all about blowin' yer nose! Er...knowin' yer blows. Go get 'em!
Oooone, twoooo, threeee...
...Six, seven, eight...
...19, 20, 21...
678... 679...
Hm? What?! Who's there?
Oh... OH! Yeah! Your initiation test! Right!
Got a li'l carried away there with the countin'. And I'm not really sure what I was countin' for...
I ain't the fartest smeller. Er...smartest feller. But I can get back to the numbers later!
Anyway...on with the plaster man. Er...master plan! Ya passed yer test with flyin' colors!
Now ya can go sell what ya mined and officially become my rockin' pupil!
What's Mine Is Ores is the name of the best shop in town for sellin' that copper!
Doing stuff by yourself builds confidence. Think of yourself as a wone lolf... Lone wolf!
Now go get yourself some dad mosh... Mad Dosh!
Hey! It's you! You're back, uhh...whatever your name is!
Didja sell that copper? Hope ya got some decent Dosh for it.
Ya did? Good goin', kid!
What's that? Yer looking for a gem? Ha ha ha! That tickles my bunny fone! Er...funny bone.
A Novice huntin' for a gem is like an ant tryin' to move a mountain, kid!
Still, ya got moxie, I'll give ya that.
Whatcha thinkin', though? Can't resist the allure of finding precious gems?
I understand. Actually, I managed to stumble upon a gem very recently.
Here—check it out...
IT'S GOOONE!
D-did it fall outta my pocket or somethin'?!
I was gonna give it to Ruby, my sweet wife. A precious gem for my precious gem...
This is terrible, but...I need to be strong for my students. Let's talk about this gem ya want.
I've got a mole on the inside that can help ya.
...What's with that look? I'm serious, kid. I've got the hookup!
Wait. Don't tell me you've never heard of Hole Net!
It's only the most important Miner-communication network in Reveria!
The local mole place is just over yonder. They'll help locate the gem ya need.
They were instrumental in me gettin' my gem.
I just wish I hadn't lost it. I gotta find some way to fix things with my bunny hair. Er...honey bear!
Ehh, sorry 'bout that. I should be more professional around you.
Y-you've got the wrong idea!
I swear, muv luffin...love muffin, it's all just one big misunderstanding!
Honest! Y-you've got it all wrong! I, errr...lugged the wrong hady... Hugged the wrong lady!
But...I had somethin' really great I wanted to give you...
Well, I, uhh...see... Truth is, I sorta...kinda lost it.
...Ya really ain't gonna believe me? After all our years of moly hatrimony? Er...holy matrimony?
With you bein' angry and me losin' the gem I was gonna give ya, I don't know what to do with myself!
W-wait!
Rocque! [Player]!
When...when did you get here? Did you find the gem?
Wh-whoa... Now that's a ROCK!
Size, color, clarity... It's exactly the same as the one I lost.
Look, even the number engraved on the back is the same...
What did you say?!
B-but nah, that ain't possible... Although...
Here... Lemme try my deers... Er...dry my tears and take a closer look.
Ain't a doubt in my mind! This is the Amethyst I mined!
Whew! Paved by the supil! Er...saved by the pupil!
That was a close call. Here. A token of thanks!
Oh, Ruby! Listen, listen. I've got somethin' important to tell ya.
I ain't the smartest guy...but takin' you as my waffley leaded...er...lawfully wedded wife was my best move.
Thanks, Ruby. Fer stickin' by this dusty ol' fool. It's a little late, but here's your anniversary present.
That's right. And I'm hopin' fer plenty more years. My bart heats only fer you. Heart beats! Heart beats.
Of course! I'd never do nothin' to dim your smile... Nothin' on purpose anyhow.
Aw, c'mon, Ruby, it's fine. It's no big deal.
I dunno what I'd do without Rocque, though. Li'l Bro's always diggin' me outta trouble.
What's up, Rocque?
WHAT?!
This is pretty sudden. When did ya decide on this?
Who's the girl?
You can't fool me, Little Brother. This is about a girl, isn't it?
Look, you're an adult... You gotta follow yer heart.
But if you do decide to go, Rocque...
just know that me and Ruby are stickin' around here together.
We've got a long, happy marriage ahead of us! Through thick an' thin!
You got that right!
...Whaddya say, [Player]? Think you can fill that spot?
Right, right. I ain't the most articulate guy, but...
Let's take a look at your results, kid.
All right! Now you're a real-Life Miner!
Complete challenges to earn Stars so you can become a mining Master!
If you get to a high enough license rank, I'll even give ya a li'l something.
Rank up your license to learn new mining techniques.
The more you rank up, the better you'll get!
You're a Miner now, kid. Be proud of it!
When you've done some quality minin', don't forget to come back and report in.
Whaddya think, Ruby? Pretty good, huh?
Lately I've been super busy, what with all my Master responsibilities and whatnot. But it wasn't too long ago that me an' the other Miners would mine till we couldn't mine no more! I'm a Master an' all, but I do miss the days when I could just smash rocks to my heart's content. Everyone's got somethin' they're best at doin'. I'm a livin' example'a that!
Did ya mine those three pieces of Castele Copper? Wait. Was it three? I forget...
There're folks out there who dream big and say the sky's the limit. But Miners? We're different. Our destiny ain't up there in the sky. It's right down here in the dirt. We mine our fate! We don't just gaze up at the clouds all dreamy like!
I can't believe I lost that gem! I need to stop being so absentminded. How does Ruby put up with me?
Whatcha say?!
Y'mean...ya don't need my wealth of knowledge?! Just wanna take yer license and go?
Boy...straightforward or what, eh?
Ah, it's no big deal.
Ah, don't sweat it, Rocque.
I know lotsa great Miners that skipped right through the basics.
Well, how 'bout Fern?
Heyho?
Molan!
A-a-anyway! Some Miners don't necessarily need tutorials, ya know?
Just equip your axe pick and start smashin' that ore!
Urk!
...ARGH!
Short an' sweet, eh? Uh...OK... It's all about the blushin' crow!
Er...crushin' blow!
Movin' on! It's my pleasure to officially recognize you as a Fledgling Miner!
There ya go. 'Grats, kid!
Or ya can just keep it on the hush-hush... That'd save me a ton of paperwork...
I'm kiddin', I'm kiddin'!

The Miner's Tale

Well, that does it for now. Another day, another rock to— WHAT?! Sufferin' silver! I almost forgot! Your Master's celebration is gonna start!
Congrats! Guess you'll be MY mining Master from now on, huh? Wait. Ya won't?! Ah, whatever chisels your ore, kid!

The Fledgling Blacksmith Drop the Hammer!

Havin' a chat, eh, Danny boy? What'd you just say 'bout me?
Vulcan and me are WHAT now?
Is that so? Well then, I gotta say that's one rock-solid topic of conversation!

Duglas

Miners? We love us some sparkle. And I ain't just talkin' 'bout gems! Ain't nothin' more sparkly than the sweat on a Miner's brow glistenin' in the sun!
I seen my share of rare and precious gems, kid. But there's one that outshines 'em all. It's my lovely's fried base. Er...my lovely bride's face. Ruby. Ruby's my lovely bride. Her face is pretty...
Mining spots dot the landscape all over Reveria. Wanna know where? The moles could tell ya. You can find moles just about anywhere too. Port Puerto, Al Maajik, anywhere! Talk to 'em if ya ever need any mining advice!
Get out there, kid. There's minin' to be done!
Got a tip for ya—somethin' every Miner oughta know. Hit an ore vein in just the right spot, and you can break apart even the hardest rock. How do you know you've hit the right spot? You'll hear a louder clang than normal, like...CLANG! Might be kinda tough to do at first, but a rock-solid Miner like you can pull it off!
Every rock has a weak point you can exploit. Just listen out for that loud clang sound... *CLANG* Huh. I sorta sounded like ol' Vulcan there.

Congratulations! You're an Apprentice Miner! Compared to any other sort of Life out there, bein' a Miner will net you the most gems and ore. You'll be makin' duns o' tosh...er...tons o' Dosh. I recommend keepin' it as yer go-to Life. Ya get to hit stuff AND make some coin. Minin' sets ya up for success!

You're an Adept, eh? Ha ha! Who told ya that? ...Wait. Ya mean it was ME?! *ahem* Er, right, right! Hey, kid...ya ever heard of somethin' called a Dragon Scab? Relax! I ain't gonna ask ya ta hunt a dragon! Legend says it's an ore that comes from a dragon. When a dragon gets injured, the ore builds up over the wound. After it's done healing, it falls off. That's why it's called a Dragon Scab. Still, it's just a myth. Nothing to do with dragons...probably. But trust me...this stuff is tough. I mean...TOUGH. Normal mining ain't gonna cut it. Better break out the Special Skills!
Dragon Scab is only a name. It ain't really a dragon's scab. Now that I think about it, that stuff's gotta have a real, actual name, right? Hmm. I think the one who named it was Moley! Er, no, no! That ain't his name... Moleson! Yeah, that's it!

Now that you're an Expert, I'll let ya in on some juicy info. Rare gems don't just hop into your lap. It takes skill and a bit of luck. Basically, the higher your Luck, the more rare gems you'll find when you mine. I did some digging around and found that mining is 90% skill and 10% luck. Or was it the other way around? Er...anyway...raise that luck, and swing that pickaxe!
"An ounce of luck can lead to a ton of gold." You like that one? Ha ha ha! ...I, uhh, got it from Ruby's brother. What was his name again...?

Refresh my terrible memory. You're a Master, right? Did we go over this? I should know this stuff... Anyway... From here on, you can harness all the moves a Miner could know. Oh, hey! I gotcha a little something! Let's see here... ... ...... ......... OH! Am I supposed to give YOU the present?! Ha ha ha! Guess I got a li'l too excited! I got it all mixed up!
I sure remind you of you when you were young! Er...wait. Do over! You sure remind me of me when I was young!
I sure remind you of you when you were young! Er...wait. Do over! You sure remind me of me when I was young!
Congrats on reachin' the Legend rank...is what I'll be sayin' to ya soon. Until then, how 'bout a challenge? You know Diamonds, right? Course ya do! Look, I'll level with ya. I really need one. I, uhh...never got Ruby an engagement ring, see. Yeah, I know we're already married, but still! Reason bein' was, I've never been able to find a Diamond. Believe me, I tried, kid. No luck. I dug, and I dug, and I dug. But I got nothin'. Not one deeny tiamond. Er...teeny Diamond! Ya know... Ain't it strange how I just suddenly asked you to help me out with this? Well, I think it's strange, anyway...
You gotta come through for me, kid. I've gotta get my hands on a Diamond! I really wanna be able to show Ruby that she's my monsoon and stars... Er...my sun, moon, and stars. If I can't put a ring on her finger after all these years, I'm about as useful as a cotton pickaxe! Get me a Diamond, and you'll be doing Ruby and me one rock-solid favor!

You're finally a Legend, huh? I gotta say, this is really somethin'. Rocque, Daniel, and now you... You're all out there dakin' a mifference... Er...makin' a difference... There's somethin' 'bout seein' you all mining out on your own... Ain't nothing better! I don't feel bad about it or nothin'. I mean, I'm your Master. Your success is my success! I know I haven't told ya this all that much, but you've been a rock-solid pupil. And, to get even sappier... I wouldn't mind bein' your pupil one day!
Congrats on becoming a Legend, kid. Now you're a real-meal diner! Wait... I mean... You're a real-deal Miner. Hah! I'm a bit hungry. Hold on a sec... Whoooa! Kid! You outrank me now! Boy, don't that just beat all!

What?! You want to reach Creator rank?! Legend rank ain't good enough for ya, kid?! Remember, I taught you everything you know... You won't just up and forget about me, right? Are ya sure ya don't wanna just stick to bein' a mormal niner? Er...normal Miner?
Huh?! A-a rank higher than Legend?! Oooh! Yeah, yeah! You mean THAT rank? O-of course I know what rank you're talkin' about! It's a rank that's...er, higher than Legend! You know, the one you're aiming to become!
Huh?! A-a rank higher than Legend?! Oooh! Yeah, yeah! You mean THAT rank? O-of course I know what rank you're talkin' about! It's a rank that's...er, higher than Legend! You know, the one you're aiming to become!
Wh-what did you say?! Y-you reached Creator raaaaaaank?! NO WAAAY! I-I just can't believe it! You...you were just a beginner not that long ago! Just a wee li'l pebble! ... ...I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Ya gotta tell me how ya did it! Where do I sign up?! ...Is it at the Guild Office?!
All right, all right... What's an old Miner like me gotta do to get that kinda rank? Maybe I should... get my own balkin' tutterfly! Er...talkin' butterfly. Wait...where do you go about findin' one of those?
All right, all right... What's an old Miner like me gotta do to get that kinda rank? Maybe I should... get my own balkin' tutterfly! Er...talkin' butterfly. Wait...where do you go about findin' one of those?
You gettin' the hang of mining? Come talk to me. I'll evaluate your work.
You still got some work to do. Ya gotta mine, mine, and mine some more! Don't stop mining! Can't stop, won't stop! Come see me when you're good to go!
Congrats! You're now an Apprentice Miner! Now that you're an Apprentice, I'd say ya probably outgrew the Grassy Plains as far as mining goes, eh? Get your comfortable shoes on and hightail it to Mount Snowpeak and Port Puerto!
Rock-solid job, kid! Consider yourself an Adept now! All the Blacksmiths in Reveria are gonna be sayin', "I can count on that kid to bring me the best ore!" Just goes to show ya, never underestinate a Mimer! Uh...what I mean is...never underestimate a Miner!
Whoa! Gettin' to the big leagues, kid! You're now an Expert-rank Miner! Our ore keeps Reveria going! It's used for everything from greatswords to great-looking brooches. The stuff we mine finds its way into all sorts of products throughout the land. Remember that, kid. Mining matters! Er...yeah...Mining matters! Hey! I got it right!
A massive congrats, kid! From here on out, you're a Master Miner! Course, all that minin' know-how didn't just fall outta the sky. You can thank ol' Duglas fer that! Ha ha ha ha! Here ya go! A little something for your hard work. Hard work today means even harder work tomorrow! Huh?! Ohmydosh! I almost forgot! You've got a party to attend! I mean, a Master Miner needs pun waster marty! Er...one Master party!
You did it! You're a hero! You're a Hero Miner! No matter how long it takes, I'm gonna give it my all and mine my way to the top, just like you! I'm honored to be your pupil! And I'm ready for my next challenge, teach! ............ Er...that ain't right, is it? You're the pupil! You're just minin' at a Heroic level! Anyway, get yer pickaxe and head to the castle. King Erik's got a reward for ya for a job well done! Oh yeah. Don't forget to gimme my next challenge when ya get back, teach! ............ No, no! Other way around! Other way around! I'm still the Master here! I'll give the challenges! I'll, uhh...just let ya get on with it.
Well, lookee who we got here! How are ya,
Still a Fledgling, eh? Well, you know what to do. Get out there and dig, dig, DIG!
I know you've been executing some blushing crows... Er...crushing blows...with the ol' pickaxe, kid. But you've still got a ways to go. Get out there and prove yourself! Bring me back a gem! Don't stop diggin'!
Just hearin' about all of your minin' adventures really makes me wanna grab my pickaxe and join ya! But I'm really more of an overseer. So, you know... Do some minin' on my behalf!
Toilin' away at that Expert rank, eh, kid? Well, don't give up! It's like my old man used to say... "No matter how much diggin' ya got left to do, you ain't gonna get your diggin' done if ya don't dig!"
Becomin' a Master ain't all Sapphires and Diamonds. There's a lot of responsibility, ya know! Even so... I really LOVE this Life!
Did ya go meet with King Erik? How was it? Was the castle amazin'? Bet that place was classy, huh? I bet it was, like, wear-a-monocle classy? I've always thought the castle Life was a monocle Life. Kinda like how mining is a pickaxe Life. Maybe I'll get a monocle of my own one day... ............ Hoo, boy. Spaced out there for a sec. If ya haven't already reported back to King Erik, I suggest you get a move on!
Whoooa! Ya made it to Legendary rank! Ain't nothing left for me to say! But, hey, weren't you supposed to see King Erik? You've gotta report in for your new rank! Better get a move on and see 'im if you haven't yet. I hear he's even got a reward waitin' for ya!

Hey there, [Player]. Out minin', huh? What can I do for ya? [Choice: Report / Chat / I forgot]
So sleepy... Been standing here...all day... Huh? What? Is that you, [Player]? You out doing some night mining? [Choice: Report / Chat / I forgot]
No? Nothin'? Well, c'mon back if you remember whatcha need.
Hey, [Player]! Today's a GREAT day, ain't it? Or maybe it ain't so great. Maybe you stubbed your toe this morning, and it ruined your day? Well, uhh... Today is...a day! There! Hold on, what were we talkin' about? A Special Request? A Special Request! That's right, ha ha! I've got a little somethin' for ya to take on. I'm sure you've probably heard of this already. All right, ready? I'd like ya to mine a Golem Stone! Whaddya mean you never heard of it?! Fine, fine! I'll tell ya all about it! It's said the Golem Stone appeared deep in Lava Cave on Mount Snowpeak a long, long time ago. That thing is the rarest of the rare! If you're able to crack that thing open...you'd be considered the finest Miner ever! You and me? We're true Miners! Ya like a challenge, don't ya?! Well then, polish up that pickaxe, and come and talk to me when you're ready to rock!
What's up, [Player]? Need somethin'? [Choice: Special Request / Chat / I, uhh...forgot]
You eat, drink, and SWEAT mining, right, kid? Don'tcha wanna go out and mine that Golem Stone? [Choice: $$Mining's my Life! / $$I, uhh...gotta go]
Rockin' answer! You'll find the Golem Stone in Lava Cave over on Mount Snowpeak. Go show that Golem Stone who's boss! You're made of tougher stuff than that rock, right?! I'll tell ya this: you can bet your pickaxe I wanna go with ya. I'm sure watchin' ya mine that thing down is just the thing I need to get revved up. Tell ya what, kid... You ever have a need for one digtastic Miner, just gimme a holler, ya hear?
No? But I REALLY wanted to go— Er, I mean, uhh, YOU really looked like ya wanted to go. C'mon! I thought we were a team!
I did it, [Player]! I actually got the [Name 2]! Behold, proof of my mining expertise! ...Huh? YOU'RE the one showing ME proof? Er...uhh... AH! That's right! Sorry 'bout that. Just got the order a little mixed up! Ahem. Right, right! Great job, kid!
So?! What do ya think? Did I pass? Huh? I'm not the one doin' the challenge? Er...sorry about that, kid. Sometimes I get things a little backward in my head. I'll get it right next time! Here's a reward for ya!
Gimme a holler if ya want to give minin' that Golem Stone another try. I got a whole load more of those coins, so how about we go minin' again sometime soon?
You'll find the Golem Stone somewhere inside Lava Cave on Mount Snowpeak. You know the little rest stop partway up the mountain? Just go, er...lemme see...right. No, no. Go LEFT from there! Get those mixed up a lot... Just follow the natural bridge from there, and you'll find it.
Wh-whaaat?! You givin' up on the Golem Stone?! Are you serious? Are you seriously serious?! [Choice: Super serious! / $$Seriously...NOT!]
Wanna hear my explanation again? *ahem* All right, here goes... You'll find the Golem Stone somewhere inside Lava Cave on Mount Snowpeak. You know the little rest stop partway up the mountain? Just go, er...lemme see...right. No, no. Go LEFT from there. Get those mixed up a lot... Just follow the natural bridge from there, and you'll find it!
A-ah! I was just thinkin' the same thing, kid. Let's take a li'l snack break, eh? We'll definitely head to Lava Cave the next time we go mining together. We ain't givin' up! This is just a break, ya hear? B-R-E-A-K!
