A Mysterious Mineral
A Mysterious Mineral is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Goldsmith merchant, part of the Endless Craft quest line. I heard that obsidian can be obtained. That is truly surprising. Obsidian is so rare that it is difficult even to see it in person. If possible, could you bring me some obsidian? The more, the better. I will also need a few materials that suit it. I will write down what is required. I ask this of you. There are 3 objectives to complete: Bring 1× Mysterious Potion; Bring 3× Obsidian Ingots; Bring 1× Pocket Watch. 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 Goldsmith in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing The Edge of Delicacy before it becomes available from Goldsmith. Completing A Mysterious Mineral rewards 300 XP, 300 Gold, 4x Arcane Essence. 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 Goldsmith quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The Endless Craft chain provides a structured progression path through the Goldsmith 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.
