Do you know how to choose between the gold and silver axe? in the old (korean?) fable, a man threw his axe into a river and a spirit pulled out a silver axe, asked him if it was his, he said no, then a gold one, and he said no, she rewarded his honesty with both axes. Then a dishonest man heard the tale and went to replicate the act, claiming the golden axe was his, he was of course rewarded with nothing.
thats how the story goes in a nutshell anyway, I wonder if it works like that within the game.
Edit: PS, dont just assume this is how it goes, I dont want to be responsible for anyone not getting their shiny tools =P
