Summary

Bring a chunk of zinc ore to Talib of the Tenshodo in Parraggoh's stead. Monsters in Gustaberg are known to drop the ore.

Walkthrough

In Port Bastok, go to Warehouse 2 (it is marked on the map) and go down the stairs. Talib is located behind the stairs and is dressed in red clothing with a red hat. Talk to him, and you will get a cutscene. Afterward, give Talib one Zinc Ore piece, and he will give you a key item, Palborough Mine Logs. Now, head to the Bastok Mines area and go into the residential area, marked Ore Street on the map. Walk down the steps and immediately go to your left and into the first door. Inside is a lone Galka standing near a fireplace, Parragoh (H-6). Talk to him to finish the mini quest (you do not need to talk to the girl from the cutscene even though he asks you to). He will reward you with a Bronze Knife for bringing him the note.

it's not about the money, it's about getting a quest done. Most quest dont' really pay to well, or even anywhere near hte effort. But it gives you fame that you need for better quest.

Fame also raises your resell to npcs, and lowers prices at npcs in the town. Something pretty important if you plan buy lots trash from the smithing/goldsmith guilds here.

Buy some picaxes from the item shop in the Bastok Mines Area. Go into the Zerhun Mines and "tab" around until you find a mining spot. You can get zinc ore there sometimes. After you mine a spot press "tab" again cause you can usually mine the same spot several times before the spot will go away for awhile. Also, make sure to buy several picaxes as they break after a couple of uses!

Yes Where is Talib? i've been searching for this NPC for a quest.. "Beauty and the Gaulka" or something like that. I have to give Talib an ore. I have the ore already.

Can't you get 400g for each zinc ore in AH..?
RE: Mister Smart?

I just sell my zinc ore at the auction house for 400 gil apiece. They always sell within an hour.

This guy is part of another quest with the character Cornelia from the opening scene if you started as a foreigner in Bastok (i.e. not Hume). Her boyfriend Perraggoh(sp?) owes a debt which she is trying to pay for him (the zinc ores) but can't, since she can't leave the city. When you first speak to Talib there is a cutscene movie with dialogue between Talib and Cornelia and the quest and story are explained.

This quest isn't worth doing, in my opinion. You can get more money for Zinc Ore from other players who need them for low-level Blacksmithing (3 Copper Ore + 1 Zinc Ore + Fire Crystal = Bronze Ingot) - and you'll be helping the player economy by doing so!

Zinc Ore drops from Tunnel Worms and Rock Eaters occasionally. I've heard that you can mine various ores in the mines, but I can't confirm that at this time.

This quest is used to increase Norg fame. If you are a ninja you need the fame in order to get the quests for your ninja scrolls. So for myself or any other ninja or ninja subjob this quest is very very important. Aspirations of becoming a ninja then save those zinc ores and do this quest many times over.

When I was hunting Tunnel Worms in South Gutasberg, the zinc ore dropped like crazy. The Stone Eaters in South Gutasberg dropped Zinc, Copper and ocassionally Silver. In North Gutasberg, the Stone Eaters seemed to drop more Copper and only occasionally Zinc.
