Dwarf Scroll III is the third of the dwarven scrolls and the only one that cannot be dug up. It comes purely from monsters, many of them slimes. Together with the other scrolls it unlocks the Dwarvish Translation Guide, which opens the Dwarf's shop and lets his friendship grow. It sells for almost nothing, so its value lies in the museum and in a Lava Eel pond quest. Blue Slimes are the best target, with three times the drop chance of any other monster.
The in-game description reads: A yellowed scroll of parchment filled with dwarven script. This one's tied with a blue rope.
Location
Monster drops are the only way to find Dwarf Scroll III. Blue Slimes have the best chance by far. Purple, Red, Copper, Iron and Tiger Slimes can also drop it. So can Lava Bats, Lava Crabs, Squid Kids, Shadow Brutes, Shadow Shamans, Metal Heads, Spiders and Blue Squids.
Every kill carries a small chance, so many trips into The Mines slowly add up to a drop. Any Blue Slime seen on the way down is worth the extra swing. It is three times as likely to drop the scroll as anything else on the list.
Blue Slimes also drop Dwarf Scroll II, so hunting them works toward two scrolls at once. Most of the other monsters on the list can also drop Dwarf Scroll IV, another scroll needed for the set.
Museum
Donating Dwarf Scroll III to Gunther adds it to the artifact collection. Once Dwarf Scroll I, Dwarf Scroll II 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.
Once the guide is earned, the Dwarf in The Mines and the Dwarf on the fifth floor of the Volcano Dungeon can both be talked to. It also makes the rightmost gravestone in the Graveyard readable. The Dwarf's shop opens at that point, with bombs, Life Elixir, Oil of Garlic, Miner's Treat, Rarecrow #6 and more for sale.
As an artifact, the third scroll moves the count toward the Skeleton Statue at fifteen and Rarecrow #7 at twenty.
Prices
Dwarf Scroll III sells for a single gold coin, so selling it is never worthwhile. The Treasure Appraisal Guide triples artifact prices, but a tripled single coin is still almost nothing. A spare is better kept for a Lava Eel pond request.
Gifts
The Dwarf and Penny like Dwarf Scroll III. Friendship with the Dwarf only grows from such a gift after the Dwarvish Translation Guide has been earned.
The shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy all dislike the Dwarf Scroll III. Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Sam, Sebastian and Shane dislike it as well, as do Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard. The same goes for the older villagers Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam, and for Jas, Leo and Vincent.
Notes
A Fish Pond holding Lava Eels may ask for one Dwarf Scroll III as a quest. Bringing it raises the pond's limit from three fish to five. A spare scroll in storage means the request can be met straight away.
Putting Cloth in the feed and Dwarf Scroll III 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 III as a blue dye, matching the blue rope around the scroll.
Just inside the entrance to The Mines, the Dwarf sits behind a large rock. A steel Pickaxe or any bomb breaks the rock.
