The head blacksmith grumbled as if he couldn't be bothered to explain to me the problem that has occurred, so I turned my head towards the players and asked.
"What happened between the both of you?"
The player who looked to be the leader of the group said: "We asked him if he was able to forge weapons for us?"
As soon as I head that I realized that these people weren't normal, although you only need 2 or 3 pieces ores and a blacksmith to make it, to get these materials so early on, you would need to have a workshop, that or you have managed to find something valuable enough to trade with a life class player who chose to mine and happened to get lucky enough to find a blacksmith worthy material.
After a couple of seconds, I asked: "Why don't you go to another village for a blacksmith?"
One of his lackeys arrogantly said, "Why would we do that, this village belongs to us The Dominators."
It was only then that I used identify on them.
The leader of the group was called 'Dominator Chris' whilst the lackey was called 'Dominator Michael'
I ignored them and spoke to the blacksmith "Do you have a quest for me?"
Sardrock replied, "I require 10 iron ores, can you mine them for me?"
"Of course, I can mine the Iron ore for you, can you tell me where to find it?" It was this quest, the repeatable quest that can gain you relations with the blacksmith.
"Just outside of town is the Deathmount Mine, head there." Sardrock replied as if it was obvious.
Mine 10 Iron ore for Sardrock:
Iron ore mined: 0/10
I knew which mine he was talking about, it was called the same mine no matter which village you landed in, after heading into the mine I logged out of Pandora.
...
It was almost 9 pm I had been playing for hours and it was almost time to eat, since I had seen my parents again I would always be making the food before they arrive.
After eating I logged back into the game.
...
Standing just outside the mine, I was looking at the small influx of players that would arrive every 5-10 minutes, the mine could be classed as abandoned.
Walking into the mine I noticed that there were only about 50 players throughout the entire mine.
I took my pickaxe out of my inventory and started mining the iron.

Mine 10 Iron ore for Sardrock:
Iron ore mined: 10/10
Return to Sardrock to turn in the quest.
I started to return to Sardrock to turn in the quest, this quest can be completed 10 times in total, but no one had bothered to do that until several months into the game, the reason was simple, you don't gain exp from this quest, instead, you only receive 5 silver coins.
After entering the village I headed off to the blacksmith.
When I arrived at the blacksmith the players from before were still there, continuing to argue with the blacksmith.
I walked passed them and went to the blacksmith and spoke to Sardrock.
"I have returned with the 10 pieces of iron ore." Sardrock would be arrogant with those who demand from him, but on the other hand, if you had been tasked by him, he would prefer if you were upfront with him and disperse with the pleasantries.

I was probably the only one who knew the benefits of completing the quest all 10 times so I asked him for a quest and I received the same quest.
Quest Received:
Mine 10 Iron ore for Sardrock:
Iron ore mined: 0/10
As I headed out of the blacksmiths I gave that group of people some advice "Why don't you ask him nicely instead of demanding, he might actually forge you what you want."
Without waiting for a reply I walked off back to the mine to start the mining process again.
