Best First Checks
Old Mine routes usually mix quest progress with supply pressure. Before going deeper, check the named NPCs, lockpick or torch needs, and whether your current objective is a cog, chest, list, or minecrawler step.
- NPCs to scan first: Santino, Ian, Aaron, Ulbert, and mine guards.
- Common items: Gearwheel, Old Mine Map, torches, lockpicks, ore, and minecrawler parts.
- Quest hooks: Trial of Trust, Aaron's Chest, Cog in the Wheel, and minecrawler routes.
