Will you? I seem to remember all of the ore was to be found in Creiston Mines, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

Hmm, I went back and spoke with the king and there is no option for the mines. Only an option for Islands of Freedom.

Have I not progressed far enough along in the plot to finish this quest line?

*edit* Hmm, it now appears that I can go into the mine. Thats very odd though, there was no dialog from the king.

Thanks for your help!

In terms of plot, you need to finish your mission on the islands before you can enter the mines. If it lets you in early it's either a bug or a feature I don't know about.

Your are right Metathron...the last two peices of ore are found just beyond Crestion Castle after you go up the sky bridge.

The ore places are randomized in small extend (they appear in pre-set areas, but there are more areas that ore - so each game you may find them on other places... or not )

And yep - you need to follow the main (crown) quest in order to get in the mines, so to get the griffon quest is not enough... still

I believe the Griffon King will give you this quest first when you return him his crown, what is possible only if you return from Freedom Islands, where you have to find the mine map... only if you returned from freedom islands w/o this main quest item - map, only then you can get "paint griffin quest" and not have the main quest done.
