Initiating the Quest

Prospector Albain DeruYou must have Deru in your party to initiate this quest and access to Aman'lu by initiating Act II, Chapter 1 (The Town of Aman'lu). If you do not have her in your party and haven't previously recruited her, she can be found in Eirulan. Teleport there and head north past the tramway to the Inn to the tramway to the Outpost, where she'll be standing near the entrance. Speak to her and have her join your party. Then head back to the south and teleport back to Aman'lu.



Prospector's Key Head east from the Aman'lu transporter by going down the ramp and then down the short hill, which follows it. Then turn south once you see the fallen pine tree to the east. Head along the river to the south into a small cul-de-sac, where your party will find Prospector Albain, who oddly seems to be down on his luck and ready to give up treasure hunting because of his inability to find the treasure indicated by the treasure map in his possesion. If you have Deru express interest in the Prospector's_Map, he'll give it to her along with his Prospector's Key, which opens the door down below Razka's Ruins in the Southern Greilyn Jungle, which your party may have previously tried to open, but could not.

Enter and have Deru open the Big Chest and she'll excitedly exclaim at the quantity and quality of treasure but soon realizes that the seeking was more fun than the finding of the treasure and that perhaps she should be concentrating more on other tasks, thus completing this quest.
