This quest is located in the New Player dungeon. This is where you will first start hunting and questing. Only players with accounts 21 days old or less can get into this dungeon, so take advantage of it while you can.

Note: (Young) status does not matter, you can still get into the dungeon as long as you're under 21 days. Same applies to New Player Donation Chests and the Newbie Champ.

Areas

When you first enter the newbie dungeon, you can go 3 ways:

  • To the North is a small room with vendors for your basic needs.
  • To the East, you will see a pet resurrection stone. Further down that way are tougher monsters, and stairs to the second level.
    • On the second level, monsters will attack both you and your pets.
  • To the South is where you can get rich!

Note: You will be safe on the entire first level, because the monsters will not attack you; However, they will attack your pets!

The Quest

You may repeat this quest every 3 days and it will be a significant source of your early-game tools and income. To begin this quest, say "hail" to Tim the Tool-Man, located south of the dungeon entrance, a few steps from Joe the Apprentice.

Tim will first ask you to visit various master craftsmen around the shard to collect supplies that he needs. You can access these NPCs from the world teleporter menu, most are located under the "Custom" button. Once you return to Tim, he will send you to hunt in the newbie dungeon to kill searing elementals and collect the hardened embers from their corpses. The elementals are located on level 2 of the newbie dungeon, which can be accessed by going east from the dungeon entrance. Upon completion, Tim will have you provide various crafting supplies to Nodin the Hobbyist, who is located in the Haven thieves' guild with his wife.

Each book you complete will reward you with 2 different crafting tools charged with 100 uses each. The final book will give you one crafting tool with 100 uses and also reward you with 100-150k gold.
