Pick up Pickaxes Dragon Age II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The quest giver: Jansen [The Bone Pit]

Step 1: Talk to Jansen

You can start completing this quest after coming to the [Bone Pit] location and clicking on Jansen #1 (M31, 7). It will be possible some time after completing the secondary quests Cave Crawling (extermination of spiders) and Cavern of Dead (extermination of undead). This time you won't have to fight anyone - Jansen will inform you that miners need new pickaxes. If you want to help and solve his problem, at the beginning of conversation choose upper right dialog option #2. If you choose middle right or bottom right dialog options, miners won't get new pickaxes.

Step 2: Buy pickaxes

You can go now to the [Lowtown] location during the day. Explore the area south of the entrance to the At The Hanged Man inn and you should find Smith #1 (M12, 20). During the conversation you won't be able to knock the price down so you'll have to pay entire amount #2 of 15 sovereigns. Fortunately you do not have to return to miners. They will get new pickaxes without your help and this quest will be completed now.
