Dwarf Scroll IV is the last of the dwarven scrolls and the slowest to drop from monsters. Almost any monster can drop it, but the chance on each kill is very low. Tilling soil on the deepest floors of The Mines gives a slightly better chance. Once it joins the other scrolls in the museum, Gunther hands over the Dwarvish Translation Guide, which opens the Dwarf's shop and lets his friendship grow. It sells for almost nothing, so it belongs in the museum.
The in-game description reads: A yellowed scroll of parchment filled with dwarven script. This one's tied with a golden chain.
Location
Nearly every monster can drop Dwarf Scroll IV. The exceptions are the Skeleton, the Serpent, the Wilderness Golem, the Carbon Ghost, the Iridium Bat, the Iridium Crab and the Haunted Skull. The chance on each kill is small, so it often takes many mining trips before one appears.
Tilling soil with a Hoe on floor 80 or deeper in The Mines gives a better chance per tile than any monster kill. Floor 95 has a patch of tillable soil close to where the elevator arrives. Riding the elevator back to that floor and tilling the patch again is the simplest way to farm for this scroll. The same patch can also give Dwarf Scroll I.
Museum
Donating Dwarf Scroll IV to Gunther adds it to the artifact collection. Once Dwarf Scroll I, Dwarf Scroll II and Dwarf Scroll III are also donated, Gunther hands over the Dwarvish Translation Guide. The guide sits in the Special Items & Powers tab of the player menu.
Earning the guide means the Dwarf in The Mines and the Dwarf on the fifth floor of the Volcano Dungeon can be understood at last. Reading the rightmost gravestone in the Graveyard becomes possible as well. From then on the Dwarf's shop is open, offering bombs, Life Elixir, Oil of Garlic, Miner's Treat, Rarecrow #6 and other goods.
The fourth scroll counts as an artifact too, bringing the Skeleton Statue at fifteen artifacts and Rarecrow #7 at twenty closer.
Prices
Dwarf Scroll IV sells for a single gold coin, so selling it is never worthwhile. Tripling that price with the Treasure Appraisal Guide still leaves the scroll almost worthless. The first copy should go straight to Gunther.
Gifts
The Dwarf and Penny like Dwarf Scroll IV. Before the Dwarvish Translation Guide is earned, gifts to the Dwarf do not count, this scroll included. The scroll can only win his favour after the set is complete.
The Dwarf Scroll IV is a poor gift for the shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. Jas, Leo and Vincent dislike it too, and so do the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. So do Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard. The same goes for the marriage candidates Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Sam, Sebastian and Shane.
Notes
Putting Cloth in the feed and Dwarf Scroll IV 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 IV as a yellow dye, matching the golden chain around the scroll.
The Dwarf waits behind a large rock just past the entrance to The Mines. A steel Pickaxe or any bomb breaks the rock. Until the translation guide is in hand, he speaks only Dwarvish and his shop cannot be used.
The Dwarf on Ginger Island waits on the fifth floor of the Volcano Dungeon. The translation guide is needed to deal with him too.
