Crushbone Belt  

 

Quest info:
You say, 'Hail, Canloe Nusback'
Canloe Nusback says 'Step forward and speak up, young Kluiana! Kaladim can always use another warrior. Are you [ready to serve Kaladim] or has a yellow streak appeared down your back?'
You say, 'I am ready to serve Kaladim'
Canloe Nusback says 'Then serve you shall. Let your training begin on the battlefields of Faydwer. Seek out and destroy all [Crushbone orcs]. Return their belts to me. I shall also reward you for every two orc legionnaire shoulder pads returned. A warrior great enough to slay one legionnaire shall surely have no problem with another. Go, and let the cleansing of Faydwer begin.'
You say, 'what Crushbone orcs?'
Canloe Nusback says 'The army of the Crushbone orcs is deadly indeed. They are great military strategists. It was a legion of them that brought down the great [Trondle Ogrebane]. Speak with Furtog Ogrebane about the Crushbones. He has need of warriors such as you.'
You say, 'who is trondle ogerbane?'
Canloe Nusback says 'Trondle Ogrebane is the legendary dwarven warrior who single-handedly exterminated the ogre clan called the [Mudtoes]. He was recently killed in battle. It took an entire legion of Crushbone orcs to bring him down. Furtog is still fuming about that.'
You say, 'who are the mudtoes?'
Canloe Nusback says 'The Mudtoes were a small clan of ogres. They lived somewhere in the Butcherblock Mountains. They had an insatiable appetite for dwarves. They were finally destroyed by the hand of Trondle Ogrebane.'

Canloe Nusback says 'Good work, warrior! Now continue with your training. Only on the battlefield can one become a great warrior.'

idiots.. this quest should have been left alone!

If you are starting an alt out("good" race), and are a class with at least one spell at lvl 1, this quest is excellent. Have a higher level alt or your main farm these belts, or if you are willing to buy the belts at 1p each or 2p per shoulderpads. Keep farming/buying until you have all of your possible inventory filled up(assuming you have space). Once this is done, go to a bank, put two bags full of em into the shared bank slots, log onto your alt, transfer those at kaladim bank, log back on main, shared bank..and so on until all of your belts/shoulderpads are transfered, then turn in the belts/shoulderpads to the Warrior GM in Kaladim A. Once you have turned in all of your belts/shoulderpads, you should have gained about 5-8 levels from level one (depending on how many shoulderpads over belts you have). After you have traded all of your belts/shoulderpads, go to PoK (plane of knowledge) and start casting spells on yourself (low level spells) until you seem to be at a high skill level for your level (in PoK spells do not harm you or other players if harmful, beneficiary spells do work though). If you are not pure caster, you should probably work on some melee skills as well, put ALL of your points gained from leveling into your melee skill of choice (1hb, 1hs, 2hb, 2hs, pierce). If your skill level for your melee skill is not at a level you are comfortable with, go kill newbie level mobs or join a group and get some xp while training your melle skill.

Repeat this process until you are at a level where CB belts and Shoulderpads will not give you much experience (between lvl 10 -12).

good luck.

i love this qest it is so esey oh if you are looking for a group i have a level 19 mag high elf named westlin

I don't understand why people would pay 1pp for a belt. I do the quest myself once in a while for faction.

That may be why people pay so much. It's a quick way to raise faction with a few groups.

*shrugs* i'm not sure.

Oftentimes, the person buying these actually had a high level character with tons of platinum to spare -- they are using these belts as a quick way to PL their twink so they don;t have to find a friend to PL them. hehe.

1pp each is the standard price on Vazaelle.

The only quests listed under crushbone belts are the orc belt quest in misty thicket, and the orc vest quest in freeport. I was told that is a quest involving these belts that will raise my dwarf faction. Can someone please post the npc's name that gives the quest and what zone he is in?

These are one of the most sought after items in Faydwer mainly because of their unique ability to advance a character extremely rapidly through the first few levels. I had a friend powerleveling me from about levels 1-8. During that time I collected 6 bags of these belts. I turned them all in and I was halfway through level 9 without any effort. Also when you turn them in you get armor from the guy which you can then sell.

I have a question. I've seen then on the aution block for (usually) 1pp. Why would someone pay 1pp for a belt? I checked and there are a couple of quests that involve them, but that doesn't seem to be worth a PP by itself.
Granted I haven't been playing that long and haven't found the secret to making money yet, but what are they good for?
