==Background==
[[Image:Crazed_Miner.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Pulley system right there.]]
The quest is given by the [[Crazed Miner]] in the [[Stinging WindsCanyon Rim Mines]], who asks that you defend him while he raises a chest of gold via a pulley system. If you are successful, you get half the gold.
To complete the quest, players must stand their ground and fight off an attacking horde of [[Fallen]]. The defence is easy enemies are not powerful, but they are numerous, and the quest changes up the usual play style for characters forcing players to hold a location, rather than engaging in the usual fighting retreat large numbers of enemies can cause. This quest was first described in a hands-on report from Gamescom 2009. [http://kotaku.com/5340558/diablo-iii-impressions-hands-on-with -the-barbarian] ::We ran into a "Crazed Miner," who offered us the quest, "A Miner's Gold." All we had to do was defend the miner while he raised a treasure chest via a pulley system. When he started, swarms of Fallen came after him. If we were successful in defending the miner from the swarm, we'd get half the gold. It really wasn't a challenge for the Barbarian, as Ground Stomp made that defense quest a simple task. ==Strategy== The [[AoEFallen Imp]] spellss aren't that dangerous, but they're numerous, since you so attacks that hit multiple enemies at once are being attacked by hordes of most effective. Crowd control abilities, such as the Barbarian's [[FallenGround Stomp]]are also very useful to debuff or distract the enemies.
