Grain-Hunter

General Quest

Gatson tells you that if you go to the Orc encampment and recover the grain they took, he will sell it to the Dwarves at half-price.

STEPS:

1) Collect 3 grain sacks. Gatson says to you:

"The Orcs have a big camp to the south and west of here. I don't know where in the camp they would be keeping the stolen grain, but you should retrieve three large sacks."

The encampment Gatson speaks of is, of course, Gurzlum. This area is southwest of the farm, and has several entrances that will lead into the heart of the fort. Depending on whether or not you wish to fight Elite Orcs could dictate which entrance you take. The closest one from the farm is: (11.7s, 46.7w). From here you will see two glowing grain sacks ahead of you to the south, but they are guarded by the Ongburz Chieftain.

I took the safer route, which involves going further into the camp and up a hill to the south. You will see many sacks of grain there, and here are the three I picked up: (two at 12.3s, 46.3w and 12.3s, 46.4w). There will be fighting, of course, but no Elites unless you so choose!

2) Return the Grain Sacks to Gatson.

3) Bring the grain sacks back to Hornbori.

4) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and you will now be able to take the next quest, Brew-Master.
