    If you are a player who wanted to not do the tutorial and started in Cabilis, this is a worthwhile quest! Quite easy to do at level 4 as there are plenty of small scorpions about.

    3s 2c was my reward at level 4, Necromancer.

    If you have trouble finding Warlord Zyzz, as he doesn't show on the Find window, as you exit the city into the Field of Bone, stop and turn slightly to the right. You should see him standing on a balcony in a building. Go into that building and climb the ramp to the second floor.

    just did this quest with a lvl 2 iksar shaman. Exp is nice, and he does give a few coins.
    Money

    XP Good
    # Aug 09 2004 at 8:55 AM Rating: Decent
    I just started up an Iksar Shaman and I must say this quest gives out some good xp for low lvl. At level 5, the XP is still almost a half of a yell bub for each 4.

    Large Scorpion Pincers can be combined in a bag from a Drill master in the Warriors guild to get a note for the Geozite Tool for the pike quests. I'm not sure if there's a money/faction reward.

    uhhhhh.... i dunno.
    If you are so interested, why not do it and see for yourself? Also, I imagine it depends on what level you are when you start. Probly takes a lot more to go from 59 to 60 than it does to go from 1 to 2. :)

    # Mar 15 2002 at 2:01 PM Rating: Default
    This quest is on the level with the famed Gnoll Fangs and Crushbone Belts. Except twice as simple, you don't even have to zone! Mediocre rewards, but the exp? Oh, the EXP! Great! I got my 4 Monk to 6 in about 2hours. Just kinda boring and monotonous... Lots of fun with a shaman tho...

    I am a lvl 30 warrior in FoB I have handed in close to 30 stacks of chips to the trooper at the door and am still Kos to Crusaders and dubious to Merchants , I was amiable to troopers when I arrived in FoB and am now kindly..how many more stacks does it take before I am dubious to crusaders?
    RE: Crusader Faction
    # May 10 2002 at 7:38 AM Rating: Default
    I ( a DE agnostic chanter) went from scowls to dubious with the Crusaders with 140 stacks (2800 total) of bone chips. However, 1 crusader, Quarg, is on 2 factions. He is also on the necro faction, and he can see thru illusions, until you gain a faction step (scowls to threaten) with Crusaders. Then he is amiable like other cursaders, when in illusion.

    Crusader Quarg shares Scaled Mystic faction due to one of the shaman cudgel quests and has no relation to Brood of Kotiz. Got to dubious with my de sk with Crusader Bodli first and still had to hand in more with Quarg still being at threateningly. Once both were dubious I ventured into Cabilis and invis'd to con the bankers and went back out of range and dropped invis...still scowls and the necros were threateningly. I got totally different results with an agnostic warrior.

    Crusaders are extremely hard to gain faction with. They only like Iksar Shadowkinghts and sometimes they wont even help iksars that arn't shawdowknights. So, it's gonna take you a while

    Folks, Im A DE... necro level 40 at the time. I killed every scorpion in site... I didnt care what size or what type... Any of those pincers drop... he takes em... Any Stingers drop... off the larger scorpions... he takes em... Any of those pointy things of the PC sized scorpions... he takes em... AND the higher level scorpion thing you drop to the warlord... the larger the faction hit in the positive... Im now dubious to the crusaders... I go in and out of cabilis at will... taking screenshots next to ALL the OOBAA powaful iksars... All in all worth the work.

    For any newbie Iksars out there...This is a very worthwhile quest. I have done it three or four times. Zyzz kicks down some good low level experience, and a few coins. Of course, at higher levels, I would reccommend selling them. Giving them to him net about 4 or 5 silver, selling them net that for each one, depending on your faction.
    Oh.

    When you run out of Cabilis and start between the buildings towards the field, look up to your right. The Warlord is standing on the balcony.
    I hailed him first "asking about the little invaders"

    I did this quest last night and got from lvl 2 to 4 on my Monk.
    He dose not give COINS.
    He gives Experience when 4 Pinchers are given

    The warlord is located in the big building to the right of the exit from cablis, on the second floor there is a balcony, you will find him there.

    Ok so this quest gives crap money for the pincers, but the EXP is awesome for levels 1-6 and that was more important to me. If your a Got-a-zillion-plat-Twinked-up-the-wazu then you dont need the money i guess do you. For those of you like me who arent read on.....
    For best results get bags ASAP, and fill them with nothing but pincers, kill the pups and beatles if your waiting for more scorps to spawn. Trade the pincers to the warlord, and watch the EXP fly! Take the crappy change you get for now, it will be of little consiquence later when you can hit the PIT anyway. This quest RULES for a shaman and necro, maybe a little boring for monk. NOTE: even after i hit lvl 6 i spent a little time and grabed like 16 pincers and hit the warlord.....EXP was still NICE.
    Quest Great
    # Sep 27 2000 at 5:23 AM Rating: Good
    I must say this is a very good quest. I started an Iksar Shaman. After the scorpions were black, level 2 or 3, don't remember exactly, that's what I hunted. Don't be afraid to have those annoying scaled wolf pups gang up on you. At least after level 2. That great Iksar regeneration rate will keep you alive. The scorpions are plentiful, usually 3 of 5 drop the pinchers. Once you get the money, get a bag! Or summon eight bags. You will level very quickly. But once you hit level 6, stop and sell those pinchers for 7 silver each. Seven sp is alot for a low level and you can afford to buy those spells and some armor.
    #Anonymous, Posted: Dec 18 2000 at 3:40 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Don't do this quest. Sell the pincers instead!

    Sell the pincers? Right. You cant buy exp. Do the quest

    Hehehehe. Experience can be found by killing any MOB. Money is much harder to come by than experience. SELL SELL SELL.

    This a newbie quest for the Iksar and a faction quest for non-Iksar. So this quest is both...
    Faction

    Gives 3 faction with Legion of Cabilis and 1 with Crusaders of Greenmist, unknown others.

    # Feb 20 2001 at 11:18 AM Rating: Decent
    What kind of score do you need to get to raise it one level? which is the best quest for the crusaders? the legion seems pretty easy.
    also, do merchants attack if you are KOS for Iksar?
    RE: Faction
    # Mar 15 2001 at 2:06 AM Rating: Decent
    not sure of the quest, but I do know that the merchants will KOS. I have a Dark Elf Rogue in FoB and well I messed up once and learned the hard way =) hide & sneak RULES!
    I heard, but havent gained enough faction yet, that you can kill Iksar bandits and gain faction enough to be cool with the merchants and guards OUTSIDE CALIBIS, can anyone confirm this for me?
