Dill Fireshine (Ranger Guildmaster) may be found in the ranger's guild hall at -434, +519, +118.16 He's on Find (Ctrl+F). You'll need Amiable faction with Faydarks Champions to obtain this quest.

Dill Fireshine says 'Welcome to the treetops and the home of Faydark's Champions. We are the skilled rangers of the Faydarks. You are safe in Kelethin, but watch yourself upon the forest floor. I've heard the [blue meanies] have been on the rise.'

You say, 'Who are the blue meanies?'

Dill Fireshine says 'This is a little name I have given Crushbone Orcs. It appears they have increased their numbers. The Emerald Warriors are charged with our defense against them. We rangers are to seek out the [orc saboteurs].

You say, 'Who are the orc saboteurs?'

Dill Fireshine says 'As others move to battle the orc armies, we have word that the orc pawns have been sent into the woods to damage the great trees that support Kelethin. We shall employ the talents of our young rangers to halt their efforts. I currently seek those who will [hunt the orc pawns].'

You say, 'I will hunt the orc pawns.'

Dill Fireshine says 'Go to the forest floor and seek out orc pawns. Within their ranks can sometimes be found orc hatchetmen. They carry orc hatchets which you must return and I shall reward for every two orc hatchets and perhaps offer you a weapon in return, should we have any to spare at the time.'

You can feed his need by killing orc hatchetmen (or occasional hatchet wielding orc pawns and orc centurions) in Greater Faydark and Lesser Faydark and returning 2 Orc Hatchets to him for money, experience and faction and usually several tarnished and cast iron weapons.

Dill Fireshine says 'I expect to receive TWO orc hatchets.'
Dill Fireshine says 'Fantastic work!! Your actions shall earn you the respect of all Fier'Dal! Take this as a small bounty for your deed. We have heard of [Crushbone allies] who wish our demise.'

Need at least Amiable faction

Tried doing this one with my halfling cleric, and he wouldn't give me the quest. *shrug* Oh well, Kelethin's loss, not mine.

Aye - he won't give you the quest without good faction, but I discovered on my little halfling ranger that his need for orc hatchets far outweighs this. I just handed him the stuff and he was very happy to take it, and rewarded me handsomely. I also was able to do the orc runner quest without being amiable (just gave him the pouch). That and a few dead orcs made me amiable to the ranger guild, and I go there to sell my goods and buy my spells.

To date the only mobs I have found who drop the Orc Hatchets are the orc pawns and that is only if you see them carrying one. There is a good possibilty that it is also a rusty axe of some kind, but what you see them carrying is definitly what you're going to get from them. So far the rewards on average have been 1 to 2 tarnished weapons and a cast iron rapier almost every single time.

The quest starts off when you ask him about the [blue meanies] which is his little name for the orc pawns. You the ask him 'What orc saboteurs' (spelling counts in this one) then 'I will hunt the orc pawns'. After you turn in 2 orc hatchets he will mention something about [Crushbone allies] to which you reply 'What Crushbone allies who wish our demise'. You then 'I will intercept the crushbone runners' and learn that you are going after a pouch. If you are lucky sometimes the runner will have both the pouch and a letter, otherwise for me anyway it's usually the letter. Either way you can still turn in both for rewards. The first time I did it I had just the letter and received a 'Longbow' (which seems to be the standing reward for the letter, and sells for a little over 3 plat :)Joy!) and a plat and change from Dill. If you have both, give him the pouch first and recieve around 6 gp and change and a 'Leather Wristband' which sells for a little over 1 plat. So all in all this is very nice quest to do for anyone with high enough faction to kick it off. 4-8 plat from all the rewards is very nice indeed for a newbie. Good hunting all.
Just one

I've kill alot of orc pawns (30)and some cents(10) and have just got one hatchet I think I saw one with a hatchet but then it comes 5 pawns and one cent(a red one)... Anyone now any place were it spawns many orc pawns and not so many cents. (pleace don't hill or crush)

BEST NOOB QUEST!!
# Mar 03 2002 at 2:37 PM Rating: Default
this quest is the perfect quest for newbies (like me). I am a level 4 paladin dwarf who had an AWSOME weapon (dmg: 23/ Dly: 39). Then he died. i was pissed, but then I did this quest a few times to pass the time. This quest ROCKS. (esspecially if you have a blood thirsy, merciless attitude toward those BLEEP orcs.) lol
RE: BEST NOOB QUEST!!
# May 13 2002 at 8:51 PM Rating: Decent
Agreed about the quest... but how did you lose your weapon if when you die it goes with you?
I Found Out
# Oct 17 2001 at 11:21 AM Rating: Decent
OK,

I was able to get the quest from Dill. The correct response to his orc saboteur question is....what orc saboteurs. I could have sworn i tried this before...and I'm sure many others have as well. I have 2 theories that might account for the difficulties.

1. Check your spelling. If a word is mispelled the NPC will not respond to you.

2. Perhaps there was some sort of "glitch" that was reset when I closed EQ and then logged on again.

RE: I Found Out
# Apr 20 2002 at 1:06 PM Rating: Decent
Kill more orcs. When I started first with my wood elf bard he said something in line of "cannot call you foe, but you have to prove yerself". Getting to amiably faction solved this.
RE: I Found Out
# Jan 22 2002 at 7:56 PM Rating: Decent
3. Maybe the faction is/was not high enough to get the quest.
What do I ask?
# Oct 16 2001 at 9:34 PM Rating: Decent
I am also having trouble getting past the orc saboteur part. I have tried all combinations I can think of, and I can't get him to say any more. Could someone who has done this quest please report the exact conversation with Dill?

What is the Illegible scroll for? I got it off of something in Kelethin or Buthcher Block Mnts. But I can't remeber what I got it off of.

Take it to General Jylell ( i may be spelling that wrong). Paladin downstairs in teh Paladin Guild in Felwithe. He will give a lantern (usually), XP, and some coin that varies. You get some decent faction hits as well. As these scrolls are pretty common in CB this is a decent item to do for people near 9th level. Above is not worth much beyond faction bump.

Orc hatchets are on pawns i recovered 2 in 5 minutes earlier
Orcs
# Sep 14 2001 at 4:19 PM Rating: Decent
Hatchets are found on Centurons. I have never found one on a Pawn (since last patch update).
RE: Orcs
# Sep 25 2001 at 10:21 AM Rating: Default

I'm glad to say I've found the opposite, I see orc hatchets showing up on about a 1 in 10 scale, on pawns. Look for the orcs near newbe lift, & PoD lift, you see one with an axe, get him, once in a while it will be a rusty battle axe, but not ofton. The bad news is they are Heavy, & you will only carry 4 with out serious Agi loss, Good hunting.

I think that I have read that orc hatchets are extreamly rare on pawns now. I have found alot on Centurons.

Tarnished Weapons
# Aug 08 2001 at 9:23 PM Rating: Default
I'm a High Elf Magician an I started this quest by mistake. However when I turned the two hatchets in, I recieved 5 weapons in return. 3 Tarnished Battle Axes, a Tarnished Two-Handed sword and a Tarnished ******* Sword. When I sold these items I found that I made a pretty penny. I easily cleared one plat. Which is alot to me, at level 2. From what I can tell, this is a great quest and definetly worth the effort by young elf characters.

Im a lvl 11 ranger and I have no problem doing this quest,if your not a wood elf though, this might not be possible. Tip though, at lvl 12 this quest isnt worth your time anyway.

Bug
# May 15 2001 at 6:19 PM Rating: Decent
Try this.. place the hatchets in a large bag, both on the two bottom slots. Have the bag in the top left corner slot of your main inventory and have it open while handing them to the guy, empty, and with one free main inventory slot at least. I got 4 weapons in the bag and one in my main inventory. Only sell for a gp or two, but it's good money for newbies

Orcs with Hatchets
# Mar 06 2001 at 4:49 PM Rating: Default
I have encountered several orcs with hatchets in the area of the Druid ring. Unfortunately, every time I tried to fight one, his friends jumped in and I had to run to save my 3'rd level cleric tail.
