Step 26

This event can take up to 20 minutes (give or take).

1) Create two hotkeys

Hotkey 1:

/say i am on the job

Hotkey 2:

/say Yo ho. No sun!

/say A skeleton's day is never done.

/say Yo ho. No sun!

/say A skeleton's day is never done.

WARNING - THIS SCRIPT IS VERY PICKY/BUGGY

2) Go to Toxxulia Forest and locate a skeleton near the Paineel zone line. Speak to the one on the right (when facing Paineel) and say "animated heads", then wait for their conversation and follow along with the [] responses then say "i will do it" to receive Worthless Mining Pick. Equip the Worthless Mining Pick in your weapon slot. At this point the skeletons will run off and you'll see the following emote:

Once you have the Worthless Mining Pick.

3) Here is what happens: abandoned heretic pet will spawn and despawn every 2 minutes per cycle. Every time you see him he will spawn out in the grass and walk in towards you. Once he reaches you he will do this emote:

As soon as you see his emote - you only have 5 seconds to say what you need to say

• you need to target the abandoned heretic pet and say "i am on the job". Once you say that then he will make a comment about you (a druid) wanting to be a miner (shown in screenshot above). This is a good message. If you don't say it immediately (within a few seconds) you will fail the event. You only need to do this once every time he spawns. He will despawn after a minute or two. Do not use /target on the abandoned heretic pet while he is still pathing towards you, target him when he is up close. If you /target when he isn't close yet, then your phrase might not register correctly and you will fail. Again, this NPC needs to be targeted when you say the phrase "i am on the job".

All other times you should be spamming Hotkey 2. Make sure to be standing right where the skeleton you talked to was originally standing (a bit different from pictures below).

4) When spamming Hotkey 2 you should see:

5) Recap: Every time abandoned heretic pet spawns and says:

Abandoned heretic pet says, 'Speed up the digging my pets!'

Abandoned heretic pet says, 'Who on Bertoxulous' blistered backside are you? Where did those fools go off to?'

You say "i am on the job" once.

He will respond: Abandoned heretic pet shouts, 'Well I'll be, a druid that wants to be a miner! Alright then, you keep at it. Don't break a nail or strain your delicate sensibilities!'

Do this only once per spawn to let him know you're the miner. Otherwise spam constantly Hotkey 2.

Unfortunately, you have to do this for up to 15 minutes.

• Once the heretic pet spawns and despawns 5 times you are done spamming and can wait for the skeletons to return Spam Hotkey 2 the whole time. Eventually a skeleton will return - /hail and it will and give you an emote and Animating Heads:

If you fail this step, it will reset and be ready to try again in 10-15 minutes
