Need help with Nicholas the blacksmith quest

[thtl]

Nicholas is asking for iron ingots and coal, not the iron ore mentioned in all walkthroughs. I found the place to turn ore into ingots, and I know the ore can be found in the Humscald mine up north. Can anyone tell me where I can find coal?

In caves west of the mines there you find Mogguns.

Thanks for chiming in. I'm in the caves right now trying to figure a way out. Do I have to kill Mogguns to get the coal?

[argul]

you can ask the mogguns politely by clicking on them

Sometimes they follow your wish to give you a small piece of best charcoal, dude.

Or be violent with them and kill around 15mogguns, you will got a coal.. ^^

Tried talking to them (feel like a fool) but no response.

Not strong enough to kill them.

Is that the only place I can get coal?

You could try and kill Terranites
Nah sorry there are no easier monsters that drop coal afaik.

Thanks for the tip. Where can I find Terranites?

In the same cave system as moggus but deeper down.

Thanks for the response. I went way deep and still don't see any Terranites. However I managed to level up a bit and am now able to kill more Mogguns before they ganged up on me and finished me off. Getting the required amount of coal is very hard work.
