Borin the Appraiser and the mine artifacts

The rarest mining finds (rarity 80 and up) are no longer plain silver or gold units: they come up as one of twelve relics — a petrified trencher, a lost treasure map and their kin. Bring them to Borin the Appraiser at the Grimroot mine entrance (226,239). He pays experience, gold and military honours for every relic, and the finest two tiers grant the Ancient Power buff: +10 to Wisdom, Intelligence, Agility and Strength for 30 or 60 minutes, surviving a relog. Four achievements track the finds.

A Miner Lost and the second companion

Completing the level 115+ quest A Miner Lost here unlocks a second active companion slot — two companions at thy side at once.
