Dwarf Scroll I is the first of the dwarven scrolls and the easiest to find. It is one of the set that unlocks the Dwarvish Translation Guide, which lets the farmer understand the Dwarf in The Mines. Until then, his shop stays closed and his friendship cannot change. Many common monsters drop it. Tilling soil on any floor of The Mines or the Skull Cavern can turn it up too. It sells for almost nothing, so its real value lies in the museum and in a Ghostfish pond quest.
The in-game description reads: A yellowed scroll of parchment filled with dwarven script. This one's tied with a red bow.
Location
Tilling soil with a Hoe on any floor of The Mines or the Skull Cavern can turn up Dwarf Scroll I. The chance per tile is small, but soil appears on many floors, so tilling every patch on the way down adds up.
Floor 95 of The Mines has a patch of tillable soil close to where the elevator drops the farmer. Riding the elevator back to that floor and tilling the patch again is a simple way to farm for this scroll and for Dwarf Scroll IV.
Several monsters drop it now and then: Bats, Bugs, Cave Flies, Duggies, Green Slimes, Grubs, Rock Crabs and Stone Golems. These are everyday monsters of The Mines, so ordinary mining trips give plenty of chances at a drop.
Museum
Donating Dwarf Scroll I to Gunther adds it to the artifact collection. Once Dwarf Scroll II, Dwarf Scroll III and Dwarf Scroll IV are also donated, Gunther hands over the Dwarvish Translation Guide. The guide sits in the Special Items & Powers tab of the player menu.
With the guide, the Dwarf in The Mines and the Dwarf on the fifth floor of the Volcano Dungeon can both be understood. It also lets the farmer read the rightmost gravestone in the Graveyard. The Dwarf's shop then opens, selling bombs, Life Elixir, Oil of Garlic, Miner's Treat, Rarecrow #6 and other goods.
The scroll also counts toward the artifact milestones, with the Skeleton Statue at fifteen artifacts and Rarecrow #7 at twenty.
Prices
Dwarf Scroll I sells for a single gold coin, so it is never worth selling. Even with the Treasure Appraisal Guide tripling artifact prices, the scroll stays close to worthless in the shipping bin. A spare is better kept for a Fish Pond request.
Gifts
The Dwarf and Penny like Dwarf Scroll I. Only after the Dwarvish Translation Guide has been earned does a gift to the Dwarf count.
Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Sam, Sebastian and Shane all dislike the Dwarf Scroll I. The same goes for Jas, Leo and Vincent, and for Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. The older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam dislike it as well, as do Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard.
Notes
A Fish Pond holding Ghostfish may ask for one Dwarf Scroll I as a quest. Bringing it raises the pond's limit from seven fish to ten. Dwarf Scroll II can be requested by the same pond.
Putting Cloth in the feed and Dwarf Scroll I on the spool of the Sewing Machine makes the dyeable Gold Trimmed Shirt. Each of the dwarf scrolls makes the same shirt. The Sewing Machine is in Emily's house at 2 Willow Lane.
The dye pots in the same house accept Dwarf Scroll I as a red dye, matching the red bow around the scroll.
The Dwarf himself is found behind a large rock just inside the entrance to The Mines. A steel Pickaxe or any bomb breaks the rock.
