Find Pack Leader Orgak in the orc fort (located in the northeastern corner of the zone).

Unless you have sufficient faction from killing kobolds, you will have to clear the fort to safely talk to him. He is KOS, but won't attack.

You say, 'Hail, Pack Leader Orgak'

Pack Leader Orgak says 'What! Why you here? What you want with master of [wolves]?'

You say, 'Wolves?'

Pack Leader Orgak says 'Wolves! My wolves! Orgak the packer leader, Orgak [take care] of the wolves.'

You say, 'Take care?'

Pack Leader Orgak says 'Not Orgak's fault! Kobolds take wolves when Orgak out behind tree! Stupid kobolds eat wolves. You! You [go get] wolves for Orgak!'

You say, 'I go get'

You have been assigned the task 'Free the Wolves'.

Pack Leader Orgak says 'Yes! Yes! Go now. But you need [meat] for wolf! Give meat to wolf. Wolf then know you friend!'

You say, 'What meat?'

Pack Leader Orgak says 'Yes! Yes! Here is meat!'

You receive 3 x Meat for Orgak's Wolves. You need to travel to the far west side of the zone, and enter the western kobold caves. In the northern rooms are three cages with one wolf in each cage. Break open the cage, and hand each wolf a piece of meat.

Cages must be open in order to feed the meat to the wolves.

Once the cage is open:

a captured dire wolf pup sniffs at the meat for a moment, then wolfs it down. It immediately looks to you for more. Realizing suddenly that it is free, the wolf bolts away at blinding speed.

After all 3 wolves are freed, you need to kill 10 Nightmoon kobolds. When finished, head back to Orgak.

You say, 'Hail, Pack Leader Orgak'

The kobolds will think twice before stealing from Orgak again. With the return of his missing wolves, the pack should be back to full strength again.

Reward for the quest:
- Direwolf Totem of Battle
Rewards:

Solo'd

1.) Shrouded to a 70 rogue from Shroudkeeper Nisua in PoK.(Buy Innate Run Speed 5)
2.) Ran from PoK to Orgak in Icefall Glacier while using Hide/Sneak.
3.) Stood right behind Orgak (humping his ass), dropped hide (still be sneaking), and used this macro:

Line 1: /say I go get
Line 2: /say What meat?

4.) After I hit the macro, I proceeded to purposely kill myself to respawn at Nisua in PoK.
5.) Say, "remove" to Nisua to return to normal.
6.) Collect the 3 meats from the shroud inventory after you removed it.
7.) Ran back to Icefall Glacier as my normal toon.
8.) Killed the 10 kobolds and fed the meat to the pups.
9.) Finally, ran back to Orgak and just hailed him while invisible. (You do not need to be shrouded to do the final hail step.)
10.) Profit

Hope it helps/clears up a few things.

Like what kind of a level would one need to be, melee person, like sk or ranger, to be able to clear the lot solo? We're talking 80ish or 85? I'm thinking of trying at 75.

The Sneak/Hide trick did not work today, he did not turn to reply to my hail just gave me the standard "I didn't know slime could talk...", "Is that your breath or did something die in here" replies. No other mobs alive in the area, tried the hail while sneaking from several directions.

Same story 3 days running now, 13th, 14th, and 15th. Pack leader doesn't even turn when hailed, just stands there unmoving and gives the same old I hate you dialogs.

It's not the sneak and hide "trick" you just sneak up behind him and start the dialogue, when he turns to you go behind him again to finish the dialogue. If you hide he will not respond to you.

Can no longer do this quest by Sneaking or Clearing fort. Faction IS now required to do it. Will update once I am able to find out @ what faction he will give task.

Edit: Ok, dont know what was up before, but tried sneaking again tonight and it worked perfectly. Use the steps as detailed below with the hotkeys. Got the task no problem.

All the posts about the "easiest way".

Just get your faction up with Orcs so you are not KOS to any of them and walk into the fort and grab all the quests there.

You get faction with Orcs by killing Kobolds and faction with Kobolds by killing Orcs in Icefall Glacier.

Easyest way to break caves is just find a spot where you wont get argo when not invis and there is one for each cage. then nuke the cage to break it, make sure your not targeting the wolf. after its broken then run up invised and do hand in then run and zone or until you lose argo.

Shroud trick apparently no longer works for this, which is really annoying. The selected text even in rogue shroud, sneaking and indifferent behind him all gets rejected.

I have tried just the trigger phrase, but also all the phrases for the quest, even just a hail. Guess I'll have to spend eons getting orc faction /sigh.

this is actually easy no training needed
Step One: Shroud To Rogue
Step Two: Possistion your sellf behind questgiver and to the Right if done right wont agro pups when drop hide
Step Three: Make hotkey (line one) /say i go get (line two) /say what meat
Step Four: Wait for Roamers to Turn Backs to you and drop hide hit hotkey and rehide
Step Five: Have a Pet Class freind invis and kill the cages one by one mobs will not agro pet killing cage
Step Six: Just Hand in Meat it wont drop hide so no training needed

got my totem last night. was able to solo it with a my ranger, except for the last 3 kobold kills, some friends came and helped.

to get the quest, i trained the mobs from the fort, running toward the steppes zl til i lost agro. then ran back to fort. i had all the dialog loaded onto 1 hotbutton. invis and sneak behind the quest giver. span the dialog from behind.
after i got the quest, i went to the caves where the cages are located. uninvis to train the mobs around the first cage. when you get agro invis again asap, the faster you reinvis , the less mobs that will hit you,run back toward the steppes zl. the mobs you have agroed will drag some of the others with them as they run past. you should loose agro before you get to the steppes zl. after you loose agro, run back to the cave and break the cage, feed the wolf.

repeat on all cages.

kill 10 of the kobolds outside the cave where the cages where located.

run back to quest giver. invis and sneak behind him. uninvis and hail.

click the select option to get your totem.

invis and then RLH

did this on my 73 ranger. wasn't too bad. but you need to be able to take a few hits.

Ok, I just got the quest with my 2 boxed 69 druid and 75 rogue. after many attempts, this is one way to get the quest:

0. shroud to a gobby rogue, as described in posts below.

1. have a druid ( or ranger ) pull and snare/root the mobs from the first room of the fort. it is about 3 pups and 2 tenders, and 3 more mobs outside that i had to snare and root on the glacier. this isnt too hard really, there is so much room to run. ( and if your 2 boxing like me, when all the mobs are snared, just invis and run your druid toward the mammoths so you can focus on the dialog on your other box)

2. now drop hide and do the dialog, he will turn to you for each part, but you DO NOT have to wait for him to turn back, just run around the other side, with sneak still up, and hit your hot key for the next part of the dialog. with the room empty of mobs this is super easy. and safe ( beware of the lowfire who occasionally paths to room. and the elder driftwolf that occacionally paths through that room also.

hope this helps.

1.) Shroud to level 65+ Rogue Goblin.
-Your main toon must be level 65+ as well.

2.) Go to the Orc Fort in NE corner of Icefall and stand behind Pack Leader Orgak.
-Remember to hide/sneak walking through Icefall and into Orc Fort, beware of named orcs standing at Fort entrance, they will see you and KOS.

3.) Have a friend/box pull all mobs in the Fort, make sure all the wolves are pulled. An FD class is going to be a GREAT help during this quest.
-The further the puller can pull the better (obviously).

4.) Click off 'hide' and hail Pack Leader, when he turns to address you walk behind him again and begin dialog. After you complete each part of the dialog, he will turn around to address you again, keep walking around to his backside to begin the next part of dialog.
-Hail, backside -> wolves?, backside -> take care?, backside -> i go get, backside -> GET QUEST -> what meat?, recieve 3 pieces of meat

5.) Once you have the quest AND the meat, return to hide/sneak and proceed to western most zone wall where the Kobold caves are located.

6.) Once at the caves, kill 10 Kobolds in whichever fasion you choose.
-Beware of a few wandering Kobolds that exit the cave. I cleared all the Kobolds outside of the caves which ended up making the pullers job easier later. You may kill the Kobolds before freeing the wolves, I did it this way and it worked perfectly.

7.) Once the cave entrance is cleared and you have killed your 10 Kobolds, proceed into the caves under hide/sneak. There will be 3 caged wolves located in 3 seperate 'rooms'. One in the western most section of the caves, one immediately to the north of the entrance and another futher north into the caves. Hide/Sneak your way to one of the cages, target the cage and then have your puller empty the room. You will need to melee/backstab the cage open so your puller will need to pull them completely out of the cave for a minute or so. Once the cage has been busted open, return to hide/sneak and give 1 of the meats to the wolves. Repeat this process for the other 2 wolves.
-There are two named mobs that DO NOT aggro you, they are quest mobs so you do not need to pay attention to them (Verkorn and War Master Brutak). I did not encounter any other named mobs in the caves but if any are there you might want to assume they can see invis and will aggro you.

8.) Once you have finished all the tasks (killing 10 Kobolds and freeing the wolves) you will need to return to the Orc Fort and hail the Pack Leader.
-You may finish this part in hide/sneak form and do not need to be behind his back.

9.) Recieve your Direwolf Totem of Battle and rejoice! Return to PoK and celebrate your victory of l33t l00tz with your friends, groupies and guildmates. Make sure you take care of your puller as well.

10.) Remember, this is a 70+ required item to use so you will not be able to use it until you are that level.

*This is the exact method I used on Tribunal server on Tuesday, November 7th, 2007 with my 66 barb/zerk. My group consisted of an awesome 75 monk, a 66 cleric for any rezzing needs and a 75 mage for burning down the Kobolds faster. Big thanks to Shingy (monk), Drunkirishgirl (cleric) and Danrahl (mage)!

The first time I attempted this quest I made one /say macro with all the dialog however it didn't work for me. If you have the time, I suggest doing each piece of the dialog. However, if whomever you had pull the room did a sloppy job you could attempt to use a single macro.

with this shroud method, once you receive the quest done, and you receive the item as a shroud, how do you use it as your main? can you transfer no drops between your toon and the shroud? please advise.

or do you drop shroud after you did quest, then go collect item?

when you turn back normal, any items on your shroud (that arent shroud items) are placed in your guild bank for 48(?) hours. you're made very aware of how to get your items at that time.

to directly answer the question, no trickery is necessary

his is what I did, Shrouded lvl 70 Rouge Made hide and sneek buttons Then I had a friend use A shiny Brass Idol to give him God mode for 18 sec' and he trained the whole room out while I had all the time in the world to get the meat. One note I had, to be behind him and in sneak to get the mission. easy as pie. Now I need to free the wolves. I think I'll use the train method again

Tried the rogue method this fine day, December 23, 2006. Go figure all the bloody bugs I've reported, and I know y'all have reported, and those aren't fixed, but this feature is hacked by SoE to fail. I presume to win this now requires clearing the mobs.

Dire Wolf Pups
# Nov 22 2006 at 9:20 PM Rating: Decent
As a Ranger you can cast your half second nuke on the cage, it only takes one to destroy it, outside of aggro of the kobolds and hit innate camo before they ever get aggro on you. Use sneak to get behind the wolf pups and give them the meat and hit innate camo again right away.

You have to either drop camo or left click on the pups twice with the meat on yer cursor to be able to trade with them if you leave camo on. (You can't trade while invis, first left click breaks invis, second opens trade)

I jus' completed that part of the quest without ever gettin' aggro once.

All the cages and kobolds are positioned jus' right to be able to nuke an' sneak around. one of the wolves was facing me when I turned in the meat to him an' he didn't aggro.

Of course I do have an' improved range IV item, so that may have helped. I jus' stood in the halways between the rooms to cast on the cages.

I just did this last night.
1. Shrouded to lvl 70 rogue, (get run 5).
2. Make hotkeys for the two things you need to say.
/say I go get.and /say What meat?
3. Use hide/sneak to go behind the Pack Leader. Have Pack Leader targeted.
4. click off hide
5. hit your "say" hotkeys
6. Hit your hide button.
Pack Leader gives the quest, gives the meat, AND insults you. There weren't many mobs in the fort when I did it. Didn't see anyone clearing the area, so maybe I was just lucky. No deaths.

failsafe way, 3 line hotkey, just make your first ability button 1

/say whatever
/doability 1

this will toggle your hide state, say the statement, then toggle your hide state back. sneak/hide up to BEHIND quest giver, click hotbutton, he'll face you and give you quest. go behind him again and click one that does gimme meat, viola.

I got to max orc faction after killing roughly 200-250 kobolds. Max faction is indifferent and faction song knocks it up to amiable. It probably takes less to actually get to max faction as I had killed maybe 100 orcs before I started killing kobolds.

Do you know how sneak works? You have to be sneaking, but NOT hiding and NOT invisible, and you have to be behind his back when talking. If you are sneaking properly you will be indifferent, con to verify. Don't hail, just say "I go get" to receive the task, and then "what meat" to get the 3 meats.

Finished this quest last night solo. few things i have noticed is peeps going thru the entire dialogue in this forum when all u need to say is 'i go get' while sneaking behind him then reinvis instantly.

The wolf cages must be destroyed before you can hand in the meat. They have just over 500 hp's but archery didnt seem to work on them. When handing in the meat, your invis will drop as soon as the trade window is open. If you need further proof try the Taromani turn in :P. It was easy enough to run to zone.

The clickie gives you a buff and a pet that follows you but doesnt do much else. Unfortunatly, the buff doesnt stick the new Rng predator spell as well as Primal guard. It does stick with Fiery might.

All in all, its a nice little clicky. Too bad it might be sitting in alot of peoples banks.

he hands you 3 of them after you ask "what meat?".

There is no faction needed ~ "yet" ~
Tried this Quest today many times and went with a shroud of a Goblin Rogue lvl 70, so I could use Sneak & Hide. thanks to Lancelot figured out how to speak with the orc after the first reply it does.

The trick so far is.. Stand behind the NPC orc and hail, it will turn facing you and reply. Sneak again behind it and keep the dialogue (now you say "Wolves") it will keep talking to you and face you again. Just keep Sneaking and moving behind the orc every time you going to say it something and you will successfully get the quest.

Don't forget ask it for the meats after it gives you the quest!

Then to open the cages you need to break up each cage. Have someone with a pet to send it to attack the cages to free each wolf.

After breaking up teh cage you can trade the meat while you are Sneak & Hideing.

Hope this helps.

OK...did this solo as a 70 Ranger, fairly easy too.

Needed to pull all the adds out of the area Orgak was in then was able to do the sneak/hail/move to get the quest.

As for the cages...I needed to train the mobs out of the cage areas, bring them to the open areas by the mammoths, snare them, then run back and open the cage and feed the wolf. Last cage was hardest but eventually got all the mobs and a named out and away from the cage.

Lastly was the 10 Kobolds. That was easy enough to root and shoot 10 down. Took awhile but again...all solo stuff.

When completed needed to run back to Orgak and do a sneak again...luckily no mobs were around so got the clicky in 2 seconds.

I tried several times myself from a few of the quest givers. None will talk to me and calls me names. any info is apperciated. although, i am starting to believe that they prolly did add that you need faction.

They added a faction requirement to Icefall quests sometime before 10/2. Typical of SOE, everythign is easy for the first couple weeks then it gets more tedious.

As I understand it, you now need to build Orc faction to do this (presumably by killing kobolds). Honestly this better not be like Omens/Dranik Loyalist faction.

This is a solo task. It is soloable as long as you have a way of dropping agro fast, and can kill the kobolds outside(that hit for 1k+). I solo'd this as a 10.5k monk easily.

Updated, thanks. To confirm: you can receive this task if you are not presently in a group?

yes, it is a solo task with unlimited time

the cages/wolves despawn after you do the turnin, but the respawn on them isnt too long if you have a buddy that wants to do it too, i'd reccomend just have both people getting the task and camping together

Meat

What kind of meat do you use for this?

I've tried bear, goblin, and mephit meat, none of which the would would accept, returning the message:
"The wolf sniffs the piece of meat and snarls, you barely have time to snatch the meat back and move your hand away."

This consumes the meat, but does not register the quest. This applies even after the cage is gone (Maybe I'll try waiting 10+ minutes).

You have to say "meat" to Pack Leader Orgak and he'll give you 3 pieces of meat. It's the only meat that will work for the quest.

A few notes on this one. The cages can be killed without aggro. Either send a pet in while invis or do ranged damage from a safe spot. If you watch the roamers you will have time to kill the cage and re-invis before you get aggro.

There does seem to be a bug that happens with the cages. It may be from using the pet method. Sometimes the wolf does not register that the cage has been destroyed and so will not accept the meat. If this happens, just wait a while and the cage will rot. Once the wolf is standing free, it will accept the meat.

The constant lag in this zone makes the quest a lot more dangeous for those attempting to solo this quest. Trying to train out after handing in is a pretty sure way to commit suicide. FD and similar aggro-losing methods work, just pray you don't get a lag spike at the wrong time.

A final note. None of the regular mobs in the caves see invis. However there is at least one named that spawns that can so if you see a named, make sure to con him. I have been told by melee's who have done this that the familiar does not stack with clicky-overhaste. It also counts as a pet so you can't summon a regular pet while it is up. The caster version from the 'Thinning the Pack' task will not stack with clicky-mana regen either.

As it is a solo Task which only some classes can handle solo it gets a pain for a group to get it done for all groupmembers. Feeding wolves only count for the one who fed.

You have to clear the caves in order to open the cages - mobs are kos and you get visible when breaking the cages

Wolfes despawn when fed and estimated respawn is 20-30 mins - having cleared first room to the right and fed the wolf it despawned. Cleared adjacent room and in right most corner we found second cage - fed wolf - despawned - shortly after that first cage respawned. Cleared to third cage - known procedure.
As caves are crowded spliting takes time - cages had a faster respawn than mobs but second cage didn't respawn yet when we had used third cage - waited 5 mins - nothing - got bored and went back to taskgiver to kill nameds there.
