White Sash  

My level 5 Qeynos monk conned warmly initially with the Freeport monk guild. I had already gotten the orange headband (search every Qeynos merchant and you'll eventually find putrid rib bones being sold) and I rescued Tomer over a dozen times. If your on a classic server like myself just focus on the skellies and gnoll pawns until you ding level 4 ish. Save the 4 gnoll pawn scalps for the headband quest and all the stacks of bone chips. If you focus on the humanoids in the Qeynos yard you'll get plenty of merchant trash to sell and easy collect a full set of cloth armor. I saved up 10 plat 5 gold, bought an invis potion next to the bank and ran to Freeport at level 5. Use the potion in either Highpass or Gorge of King Xorbb and hope it lasts through Runnyeye Citadel. Hopefully you timed it right and Kithicor is in it's day cycle. If not, hit /time and wait until 0600 am. While at Freeport do a couple belt quests then hop the boat to Butcherblock. Turn in the bonechips to the Pally guildmaster in Kaladim for some experience and good faction. Now your free to go to a proper newbie area like Gfay and hang out with the elves. Sure you have to boat back to the Freeport monk guild every couple levels for training but how often do you see low level monks in Crushbone. Totally worth the effort.

Quest giver is located at -214.00, -1531.00, -117.25, and appears to have been renamed in the revamp from Velan Torresk to Brother Velan Torresk (either that or mobs get prefix titles now)
You need at least kindly faction to complete this quest.

Full dialogue:

You say, 'Hail, Brother Velan Torresk'

Brother Velan Torresk says 'Greetings, XXX! I am Velan Torresk of the Ashen Order. I am in charge of training the newest members of our clan, and helping them advance their skills and rank. When members perform certain tasks on behalf of the Order, they advance to a higher rank in our clan, and are awarded a special [sash].

You say, 'What special sash?'

Brother Velan Torresk says 'The Sashes of Order are given out by the various trainers of our clan. I give out the [white training sash] and the [yellow Sash of Order], and [Reyia] is in charge of the [orange and red sashes].'

You say, 'What white training sash?'

Brother Velan Torresk says 'The white training sash of the Ashen Order is awarded to our new members for completing a few simple tasks to prove their devotion to our clan. As you know, Freeport is a very hostile place, under constant attack from [orcs], wild beasts, and even the undead. To help keep this city and its citizens relatively safe, we must help the Militia protect the main gates. Bring me two Deathfist pawn scalps from those vile [Deathfist orcs], a snake fang, and some bone chips from a skeleton. Good luck, Flailz, represent us well!'

You say, 'What deathfist orcs?'

Brother Velan Torresk says 'The Deathfist orcs are a large tribe of orcs who live out in the desert. They are constantly sending small raiding parties and scouts to attack Freeport and its citizens.'

<hand in what he wants>

Brother Velan Torresk says 'Ah, very good. You are well on your way to earning the white sash.' (says this 3 times)
Brother Velan Torresk says 'Good work, XXX, you've worked hard and prove yourself a valuable addition to the Ashen Order. Here's your white sash, wear it with pride.'

Your faction standing with Ashen Order got better.
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth got better.
Your faction standing with Silent Fist Clan got better.

The New class with TSS also needs to work on Faction.

OK, I am a Iskar monk, Lastnight i had about 40 DF Belts to turn into the guard. I got a druid to wolf form me, and I still am KOS to the guards, why?

WHAT DOSE YOU FACTION HAVE TO BEE WITH HIM FOR IT I GOT WARMLY

I'm on the quest for White and turned about 8 scalps, 4 fangs, and 6 bone chips. All he says is, "you are well on your way in the quest for the white sash".... What gives? Is there a special order I need to go in when replying to the trainer? Because simply handing the items to him doesn't seem to work. By the way, Lvl 5 Human Monk....

well i did the quest but the dude wont take my snake fang.i tried it with a moss snake fang too and it didnt work.ive trieed it with every snake fang i can get but he wont take it.he takes everything else.what should i do?

Hehe. I am not a leet moss snake hunter, where would be the best place to look for em? I havent had an actual REASON to kill them before, heh..

Heh, It says this quest takes 1 hour? I completed it with my 1 human monk ing 5 minutes. ;)

is it equipment or just a quest item i dont know if you can equip it on my monk can you ? plz make a note syaing yes or no plz

For those having problems getting the sash quest started with a human agnostic monk, it seems to simply be a faction thing. When I arrived in Freeport, I could not activate the sash quest. After killing about 30 or so DF Pawns, my faction was apparently high enough to get the quest and successfully completed the white sash. Just thought ya'll would want to know.

This is fairly simple to do.The sashes are not no drop,so i simply used my human monk and worked it to high enough lv to do all the quests.I did them and then transfered them to my iksar monk.The only bad thing is that yes you have to get a human monk up to lv if you dont already have one.Some people might think that doing the faction quest would be easier, but i dont like doing the faction quests.I hope this can help some of you out

Ok here is how all the iksars get into FP, Get your faction up with FP and AO(FP monks) by killing orcs, then you take the belts you got from killing them and turn them in to the head guard guy in FP in Wolf Form he will give faction AND exp! That quest brings down your knight faction which means you cant bank in NFP :o( but just go kill some more orcs.

P.S. While in Wolf form you might want to do the White sash quest a few times it will also raise faction and you get a nifty belt.

Swuinosh lvl 7 iksar monk
NOT KoS to FP or Banker

Is it possible to perform this quest repeatedly (destroying or giving away the sashes as you get them)? The faction benefit might be worthwhile...

I am in the same boat as the other human monk, except I am from Freeport. Velan still won't give me the quest. My monk is level 16 and I have not killed any but orcs, pumas, lions, undead, and crocs. My faction should be great with Freeport with or with out the orc kills. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Monarak

If you let a orc kill you, you will then start gaining positive factions from them again.

Sorry, but I don't see how Highhold will help at all with Freeport. To my knowledge there is no Freeport faction from either the orcs, gnolls, or smugglers in Highhold Pass.

However, after spending about 20 hours of playtime I managed to max out faction given from orcs in the Commonlands. What did I get from this? Well, not Freeport militia, to my knowledge if your faction is kos with the militia there's only a few special ways to raise it, none of them are easy and all kill your faction with something eles. However, I did get enough faction to bank in N.Freeport, and I did get my faction to amiable with the Ashen Order. HOWEVER, I am not able to get the white sash quest (and giving the items for it didn't work either), nor was I able to get the Treat Fist quest. I can train there, and buy from the merchants in the guild though, unlike the merchants in N.Freeport who all glower at me.

What does an iksar monk have to kill to be able to get into freeport and about how many. i have killed a bunch of orcs outside east freeport but didnt get a positive faction hit for the guards at the gate. ashen order went up some, but how do i know if im still kos. some veiw me indifferent and still attack me. should i kill something beside orcs?
