NOTE: This quest will be removed from your quest log when the current festival ends.
'More green hunters! Every year, you lot get sloppier than the last. I've half a mind to call off the treasure hunt altogether! But today, you're a lucky ${RACE}...we're short of able-bodied hunters, and Aldúlf has convinced me that we should give you a chance.
'Now that the formalities are through, welcome! I am Halthor Goldeneye, hunt-master and senior cave-claw trainer of the Treasure-hunters' Camp. You'll be wanting to get out and start hunting I suppose. You might want to have a look around the camp first and speak with some of the seasoned hunters before setting pick to earth, though.
'Go and search for Tór Wayseeker...he is a master at digging.1/1

'Here to learn about the fine art of unearthing treasure, are you? There's not much to it; 'all in the wrist' as they say.
'Take this treasure-pick and give it a go. Bring me back whatever you discover, and we'll see if you've got what it takes.'
You must have a Treasure-hunter's Pick in your inventory to excavate a dig-site.1/1

'One of the new hunters! Young Wayseeker sent you to learn about dowsing, I suppose? The lesson shouldn't take long...dowsing is easy to learn, though quite difficult to master.
'Do you see this crystal? Simply take it by the chain and hold it steady. Focus on the area you wish to dowse and, well, you'll just have to see for yourself!
'You can borrow my crystal and practice on the three dig-sites in front of me.'
Using a dowsing gem with a dig site selected will tell you what size chest it contains. You must select a dig-site in order to get a proper reading.
Using a dowsing gem without a dig-site selected will still consume the gem.1/1
'Next, you'll want to speak with Segar, our cave-claw trainer. Hurry along; I hear he's been asking for you.'1/1
8 Speak toSegar (Show dialog)
'You...yes, you there! You're Player, are you not? Hurry along, I've been expecting you.
'I've been instructed to teach you in the care and handling of cave-claws. We've found and trained a very docile breed of the beast. They rarely, if ever, cause trouble....
'I've got a very friendly one all caged up and ready for you. Let's see if you can handle yourself with one of the beasts.'
A docile cave-claw will search the immediate area around where he is placed for treasure. The cave-claw will not lead you to a dig-site unless it has a treasure chest. Though other players can see your cave-claw, only you will receive information about the reward.
'I've never seen a novice handle one of our cave-claws so effortlessly. He didn't even nip at you! I've already spoken with Halthor about your prowess.
'Return to him with my blessing. You're ready to go treasure-hunting!'1/1

'It seems you're a quick learner, Player. All of my hunters have nothing but good things to say about your performance.
'I've done quite well in selecting you as one of our new junior treasure-hunters; I've told Arngills all about it. He is out in the field with the others. You'll want to hurry out to him, if you're to find the best treasure!'1/1
12 Speak toArngills (Show dialog)
'There you are, Player. I've been following your progress...I was wondering when old Halthor would send you into the field.
'Here are some gifts from the instructors to get you started. If you need another pick, return to the Treasure-hunter's Camp and speak with Jondor.'1/1
