Dwarven Mines

The Dwarven Mines are a dungeon located within the Dwarven Stronghold to the Northwest of the Misty Vale Mountains. It is located behind a portal that requires a character to be city level 10 or higher.

## **Accessing the Dwarven Mines Prerequisite**

Access to the Dwarven Mines has to be first unlocked via a 3 part quest chain. During which you will acquire three items that are used at the Ashwood Tower to unlock the way in. These are:

```
  Small Garnet

```

```
  Wooden Handeled Lever

```

```
  Council Hall Pass

```

## **How to acquire the Small Garnet**

**1.** First you will need to get a Bleached Bone, and a Brown Moss. The Brown Moss is located in The Meadows to the far Northeast border and has the following room description:

```
   A Large Pasture
   A small stone wall meanders meaninglessly through this part of
   the pasture. Moss has begun to cover the stones and it's obvious it
   was started and never completed. An old basket leans against the
   wall. Perhaps two lovers came here for a tryst and left it behind?
   Obvious Exits:  South

```

When in here use the command *scrape moss* this will create the item Brown Moss in the room for you to collect.

**2.** Mix both the Bleached Bone and the Brown Moss together to create a White Paste.

**3.** Take the Paste to Herbert Splice who is located in a Herbalist's Shop in Moorgate. You will then be given a Tower Scroll.
