This quest may be doable at an earlier level, however the rewards have required levels of 40.

Zone into Lavastorm Mountains and find Head Miner Bibol at location +2480, -710 near the Lavaspinners Lair.

Head Miner Bibol says 'You there, why aren't you digging? I see no tools in your hands. we have a deadline to make, get over here!'

You say, 'Hail, Head Miner Bibol'

Head Miner Bibol says 'Hail yourself. We have a lot of digging to do around here. Time is money, you know. If only our [depth gauge] hadn't disappeared. It's those pesky goblins I reckon.'

You say, 'What depth gauge?'

Head Miner Bibol says 'You don't even know what a depth device is? What kind of miner are you? It is a brilliant little piece of technology that keeps track of our progress with this hole over here. It also lets me know when people have been slacking, if you know what I mean. We simply must get a [replacement] from Ak'Anon, but I can't spare any workers to go retrieve one.'

You say, 'What replacement?'

Head Miner Bibol says 'Well, the king's clerk has already been made aware of the situation. We just need someone to go [pick it up].'

You say, 'I will pick it up'

Head Miner Bibol says 'You don't even know what it is! It is better than losing a good miner for such a trivial task, now isn't it. Humm. Okay then, get to Ak'Anon and give this to Palthen. Make quicklike, you hear?'

Receive Depth Gauge Order.

Head to Ak'Anon and find Royal Clerk Palthen in King Ak'Anon's throne room (location +810, -165). He does not respond to hails.

Give him Depth Gauge Order.

Royal Clerk Palthen stutters and looks embarrassed. "That sure was quick. I only got word that theirs disappeared yesterday! Oh dear, if we don't get that hole dug soon I can't even . . Now don't you worry about that. The only one that we have left in stock is busted I'm afraid. I was going to have [Mip] look at it this afternoon. Can you run it over to him? Please!?'
You gain experience!!

Receive Malfuctioning Depth Gauge.

You say, 'Who is Mip?'

Royal Clerk Palthen says 'Mip Sprocket. He's just one of our mechanics but this device in particular was his creation. I am afraid no one else has been able to determine what is wrong with it. Please get it to him quickly so Bibol can oversee this project. It is very important that we get this wrapped up before that [horrible man] returns.'

You say, 'What horrible man?'

Royal Clerk Palthen says 'I shouldn't have said anything. No, no I sure shouldn't. Please don't say anything. Just get that to Mip!'

Head to the Steamfront Mountains and find Mip Sprocket inside one of the Windmills (location +135, -900). Give Mip the Malfuctioning Depth Gauge.

Mip Sprocket says 'Ah, here you are. Let me look at that blasted thing.' Mip tinkers around with the malfunctioning device for a minute. 'Ah, that should do the trick. I had a loose spring on the combobulator. Good as new! I'd take this right over to Bibol if I were you.'
You gain experience!!

Receive Gnomish Depth Gauge.

Return to the Lavastorm Mountains and give Head Miner Bibol the Gnomish Depth Gauge.

Head Miner Bibol flips a switch and the device starts to hum and whir merrily. 'Not bad at all, Mip sure knows his stuff. Here, take this and get going then. Oh, actually . . Do you have [time] to make another run back to Ak'Anon?'
You gain experience!!

Receive Sooty Miner's Cloak.

You say, 'I have time'

Head Miner Bibol says 'Great. Sorry I was so abrupt earlier. This has been the most ill-begotten project ever. I have the [status report] ready.'

You say, 'What status report?'

Head Miner Bibol says 'It is a bit strange. For some reason Clerk Palthen is requiring daily reports. It is a huge waste of time in my opinion, we do much better judging our progress weekly, but the orders come directly from the king. Palthen's been even jumpier than usual lately, and let me tell you he is a bit spacey to begin with. Can you [deliver] the report?'

You say, 'I will deliver the report'

Head Miner Bibol says 'Here it is then, get going.'

Receive Status Report.

Head back to Ak'Anon and give Royal Clerk Palthen the Status Report.

Royal Clerk Palthen says 'Ah yes, the status report! Oh gee, I almost forgot. That would have been very bad, very bad indeed! Here is your receipt.'
You gain experience!!

Receive Status Receipt.

Return to Lavastorm Mountains and give Head Miner Bibol the Status Receipt.

Head Miner Bibol scans the receipt quickly. 'All seems to be in order. Take this for your trouble. Now grab a pick and get digging!'

You gain experience!!

Receive Lucky Miner's Gorget as well as the cloak back.
