Getting started




Doric can be found in a small building on the crossroads north of Falador, east of the Taverley gate, and south of the Goblin Village.
Ask Doric if you could use his whetstone or anvil. Doric will tell you he needs some materials in order to manufacture some pickaxes. He will hand you a bronze pickaxe. He wants you to get him:
- 6 clay
- 4 copper ores
- 2 iron ores
(These cannot be noted)
These materials must be turned in all at once (12 inventory slots).
Obtaining the materials
(Skip this part if you already have all of the required materials)
Where you obtain the ores does not matter, and can for example be obtained from other players or by mining the ores yourself (15 Mining is required for iron ore).
The Dwarven Mine is located near Doric's house, so you can head there. To get there, go east from Doric's house and then north to find a path onto Ice Mountain. On the mountain, walk south and look for a ladder surrounded by buildings and dwarves. Climb down the ladder to enter the Dwarven Mine. The iron, copper, and tin rocks are located due south of the entrance. Clay rocks are located a little further south.
Dwarves located outside the Dwarven Mine, east of Doric's house, sometimes drop iron ore. This may help Ironmen trying to complete this quest before level 15 Mining. Members can buy the copper ores and iron ores at the store in Blast Furnace. Ironmen can also complete the quest before reaching level 15 Mining by pickpocketing H.A.M members as they have an uncommon chance to give Iron ore. Also you can kill for example Sand or Rock Crabs which drop both copper and iron.
Alternatively, instead of mining in the Dwarven Mine, you can use the Rimmington mine south of Falador, which contains all the required ores right next to each other.

Head to the Dwarven Mine on the south side of the Ice mountain (east from the quest start) with a pickaxe (Doric will give you a bronze pickaxe at the start of the quest):
2 iron ores and 4 copper ores can be mined at a spot just south-east of the ladder down into the mine.
6 clay can be mined south of the iron and copper, near the Agility shortcut.
Players with very low combat levels should be wary of the aggressive Scorpions and King Scorpions. Bring food if required.
