Trivia

 * The Luck of the Cave perk from Heart of the Mountain increases the chance for s to spawn.
 * Hitting the Golden Goblin at least one time will grant the full amount of Mithril Powder, even if he dies afterwards to fall damage.
 * Killing 1 is a possible task for Commission Slot 2.
 * Using Mineral Armor with a Stonk in the Puzzler's room used to be a way to complete this quest quickly. However, this was patched when the ores in the Puzzler's room were filled with planks.
