Riches of the Mountain
In progress

Riches of the Mountain is currently the most difficult scenario available on the live server. Several players have requested a walk-through, and others have assisted me in obtaining the screen shots to create it. The difficulty involved in this scenario involves the high level resources that are needed to create specific buffs during the adventure. As there is a short time limit for the scenario, 4 hours, it will not be possible for the player to make the resources needed for the adventure once it starts, particularly the 800 gunpowder needed. The key to completing this scenario is to ensure that the player has the available resources available before starting and ensuring that unique buffs are used only where they are needed.
1. Proof of Purity

The first step of the quest is to find three iron ore (collectibles), which will then be used to create a buff.

The buff costs 200 water and 100 saltpeter, along with the three collectibles found. Once completed, it should be applied to the ship located on the island shore.
2. Construction Area

The specialist is needed to fix the broken shovel. It requires 10 unassigned settlers, so you need to be sure you will have that number available.
