Materiaal for the Trap

Gilde Union Chief Luciano said he will defeat the Young Direwolves outside Delfaras. He ordered some traps made, but recently we've used a lot of metal, so we're short on iron. We have no choice but to seek help from the Gnomes.
Ask <HFFFA7272>Miner Pikin Firepick<HFFFFFFFF> at the <HFFFA7272>Gnomes' Cave<HFFFFFFFF> for the metal.

These days, so many people are looking for the Archons weapons and armor are selling like crazy. So we are short of metal to make farming equipment and fishing vessels, let alone traps. So, ask <HFFFA7272>Miner Pikin Firepick<HFFFFFFFF> at the <HFFFA7272>Gnome Cave<HFFFFFFFF> for the metal to make some traps.

What? That cad is asking me for metal? He owes me money, and he has the nerve to ask for metal? Hrm.
Well, I'll give you some, considering you came this far. But, these days we don't have much left because we've been receiving so many orders for Steel Ingot from everywhere. Reserve stock? Steel rusts so we don't keep much in reserve.
Give me a minute to think and maybe I can come up with a solution. Wait a moment.
