## Tactics

This area contains two types of content: the Dragon quests, which are mostly long term quests, and Nabia's Dig Site Quests quests, which tend to be shorter. They are fairly separate from one another in terms of requirements as well.

Make sure to pick up and complete **Question to Axe** as soon as possible, since it unlocks further areas. Crafting the three pickaxes is easy, and requires items which you are likely to already have.

From Beneath Me does not count your existing streak - you need to carry it for two additional days (to make three; the day you pick it up counts). Stone keys are abundant in the game, so this is probably one for the completionists.
