Reaping Without Effort
Reaping Without Effort is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Goblin Merchant merchant, part of the Precious Things quest line. Those wretched green-skins stole my shinies! So, they finally understand their value, huh? But laying their filthy hands on mine—that was a very stupid mistake. Hmph, fools should be left to deal with other fools. Fleshling, go steal some junk from the giants in the cave. And leave this behind. What is it? A stinking rag from those foolish green-skins. There are 2 objectives to complete: Bring 1× Cave Trolls Precious Rock; Bring 1× Cyclops Precious Mirror. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Goblin Merchant in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Shaking Off Misfortune before it becomes available from Goblin Merchant. Completing Reaping Without Effort rewards 200 Gold, Random Epic Weapon, 2x Arcane Essence, Random Epic Armor, 500 XP. The quest is completed in Ice Cavern, Goblin Caves, Ruins or Ship Graveyard. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Goblin Merchant quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The Precious Things chain provides a structured progression path through the Goblin Merchant quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
