I cannot enter the goblin mine. The interact key is shaded out and doesn’t work. Anything I have to do before?
Might be a quest nearby
Pretty sure it’s linked to a quest.
There is a quest called “Dead Man’s Wrist” that is on the north side of the island missing from this list.
There is also a quest on the beach, SW of the main town. A guy near the beach lets you use his monkey to find 3 items buried in the beach.
Washed Ashore is the name of that quest btw
There’s also one from that Adullini-whatever guy sitting under the tent by the warrior statute. I see him at random so i’ve no clue what stipulations are needed to get him to appear.
You see him if you dont talk to neramo yet,he is saying ‘go see neramo’.
has anyone ever found any info on the Sea Lilly …from Roland’s last will ?
For Izad’s Treasure, I also received a necklace named Izad’s Treasure that adds to magician recovery.
This quest is missing from the list above:
DEAD MAN’S WRIST
Level: 2
Location: A cave due west of Sandy Grotto Wayshrine
Quest giver: Siraj (dead Redguard)
Reward: 14 Gold
Description: In a cave full of plunder, I found a dead man clutching a note to his sister. Though the bracelet accompanying the note has little monetary value, his sister may be glad to have it back.
I should look for the dead man’s sister, Terina. Back in town is the most likely place to start.
> Bring bracelet and note to Terina.
