Description
It is said that truesilver is stronger and more durable than mithril. Galvan does not disagree with this assessment of the minerals, but contrary to its name, truesilver is not true! Mithril is a far nobler mineral! HAH! Regardless, for this lesson you will need to find the great silver deceiver, ‹name›.
Bring me forty bars of mithril and five bars of truesilver. In exchange, you will be taught the secret of ornate mithril gloves and more importantly, learn that truesilver is a liar!
Rewards
You will receive:
Experience: 3,900
When you come back
After such mining, your muscles bulge and your body aches!
On completion
She's a cruel mistress, is she not, ‹name›? I'm speaking of truesilver, naturally. Aye, Galvan spent over a decade in the mountains of Alterac learning this lesson. Take this and learn from it all that you can!
