Today we'll be exploring Quarrycrest. It's a mining town, one whose background we'll learn a lot more about once we do Tressa's Chapter 2. But for now, we have this.

This is one of the fellows we Scrutinized in Cyrus's last chapter.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/007.jpg)
Gold is the focus of this town, and there's plenty of it, even if much of it isn't of the best quality...
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/008.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/009.jpg)
And here's the other fellow we Scrutinized earlier. Odette is nowhere to be found, unfortunately.

That Viking Axe is a nice step up from our other axes, at least PhysAtk-wise. I'm swimming in money and need every edge I can get, so why not?
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/012.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/013.jpg)
Many of the miners here have registration numbers, since you need to register to mine here.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/014.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/015.jpg)
I'll hold off on breaking and entering this time.

Mr. Morlock is the guy who owns all this land and allows the miners to mine there.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/018.jpg)
Boy I love failing four 56% checks in a row.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/020.jpg)
Anyway this woman is not very happy about everything going on out here.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/022.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/023.jpg)
Spoilers, Mr. Morlock becomes relevant with Tressa's Chapter 2.

That Protective Ring boosts both defenses by 20, nice for whoever my Cleric is. Critical Ring would be nice if I actually cared about Crit.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/028.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/030.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/031.jpg)
So much gold...
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/032.jpg)
It's also a reminder that I haven't been selling all my loot lately. Time to fix that!
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/033.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/034.jpg)
How do I get a job as a Pit Reaper?
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/037.jpg)
He's got some nice concoct ingredients and his Hidden Item is Refreshing Jam, so the Pit Reaper is cool with me.

![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/040.jpg)
This woman sounds awesome.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/041.jpg)
Her knife is nice, too, though I don't really think it's necessary for me right now.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/042.jpg)
She even gives a nice PhysAtk buff.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/043.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/044.jpg)
Keep trying buddy.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/045.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/046.jpg)
Hey, we all gotta make a living somehow.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/047.jpg)
I swear there's like five different ore types you can find in this town.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/048.jpg)
This ore is worth 4000 leaves, and there's another we'll snag from a chest later. Score!
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/049.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/050.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/051.jpg)
He likes fishing and has a fish tooth. Small and easy touch, but one I still like.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/052.jpg)

Oh yeah, H'aanit won by a landslide. Guess we're going the CHAPT TOO path this time, appropriately enough.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/053.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/054.jpg)
Mining is popular here, enough so that you can't just come in and grab a pick and start. There's quite a bit of bureaucracy involved, you see.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/055.jpg)

He might be relevant for a side story later. I mean, he clearly is, I wouldn't have mentioned he "might" be relevant if he actually wasn't.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/058.jpg)
Some needed gear upgrades. That Magus Glaive gives a hefty +162 ElemAtk, which is really nice.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/059.jpg)
And then there's the Hill Cleaver. If you don't have the Golden Axe, this will last awhile, even though it's ridiculously expensive.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/061.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/062.jpg)
He might be important for a Side Story later involving eating a herb-grilled eld chicken.
He's not, but if I'm going to use "might be important" I need to make some counter-examples to keep you all guessing.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/063.jpg)
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/064.jpg)
That bandana is a huge helmet upgrade and also probably looks really swank so I snag it.
![](https://img.mega64.net/ot/u058/065.jpg)
And with that, we're done with Quarrycrest for now!
Next time, we continue H'aanit's story. Expect more struggles since I'm still underleveled and too lazy to grind off-screen. Don't worry, we'll get up to speed soon enough!
