Cain Darkmoore is at location 662, -675 in East Freeport.

You say, 'Hail, Cain Darkmoore'

Cain Darkmoore says 'Hail, ______! We are the Steel Warriors of Freeport. Our training disciplines have created some of the finest warriors ever to walk upon Norrath. Perhaps the bards shall sing songs of you one day. Let your first mission be the extermination of [Clan Deathfist].'

You say, 'What Clan Deathfist?'

Cain Darkmoore says 'The orcs of the Commonlands call themselves Clan Deathfist. They have committed many vile acts upon the residents of the Commonlands as well as persons traveling to and from Freeport. They must be destroyed. Go forth to slay them. I shall pay a bounty for every two Deathfist belts. If you are a true warrior of the bunker, perhaps you can begin with [the green and blue].'

You say, 'What is the green and blue?'

Cain Darkmoore says 'The green and blue was a test for all skilled warriors. But we have no more bunker battle blades to spare, and I can not offer you the green and the blue. We must prepare for war!!'

When you say "what bunker battle blade" he answers;

" The bunker battle blade was crafted and enchanted for use by warriors only. It has the power to strike down those creatures which hide behind their magic. Once bestowed upon a warrior, it cannot leave your side or it shall vanish from this realm forever. One must perform the [green and blue] to earn such a blade."

There is a bit more dialogue to pry from Cain Darkmoore.

" The bunker battle blade was crafted and enchanted for use by warriors only. It has the power to strike down those creatures which hide behind their magic. Once bestowed upon a warrior, it cannot leave your side or it shall vanish from this realm forever. One must perform the [green and blue] to earn such a blade."

He pretty much explains that this is a magical weapon, and that's probably all there is to this weapon, since the dps of the weapon is pretty bad. It has been suggested that there should be more to this sucky no-drop weapon, but after hearing Cain say this, I think not. Btw, I got the bunker battle blade from Capt Linarius with the Guard Bracelet hand in so that still works. I guess I will put the weapon up on the wall. ;)

Updated, the dialogue.

Has this quest been reinstated on progression servers in its original form?

Easy porting killed this quest, I think

I think once Luclin and then PoP came out making teleporting much easier, it pretty much made this quest too easy to do. It used to take some time to go to Crushbone and kill blue orcs then come back to Commonlands and kill green ones to do this quest. Now all you need to do is either wait at the spires or click on the books and bingo, instant access. Broken boats being replaced by translocator gnomes also figures in because it reduces the time required to travel around as well.The coming of Luclin and bazaar has made weapons better than the BBB more accessible anyway, so it isn't a huge loss, I suppose.

I think the clue may be in the text. He says he has no more blades to give out. Maybe this quest was always meant to be temporary, only giving out blades until the supply ran out. Maybe the other quest where you recover the swords in the orc camp and bring them back might have something to do with it, as well. Maybe whenever someone completes that quest it replenishes the supply of BBBs.

The NPC in Steel Warriors that gives out this quest gives a mesage to the feect of 'I cannot give out the green and the blue anymore'. One thing I never understood, though, if the Steel Warriors and Clan Deathfist hate each other so much, why don't you get Steel Warriors faction when killing orcs??

Since cain says they are at war and cannot gibe out BBB's anymore, and since we can get them from the corrupted guard bracers quest my guess would be that yes the lego pad quest was removed to an extent. Since cain says they have no more BBB's to give out, why not ask him "what are bunker battle blades?". Not all quest text is in brackets, there has to be something that triggers a response. On the flip side, I am sure the ones they are at war with would love to get their hands on the enemies weapons (as a good/evil quest). Either way there is a quest out there with the BBB, and off to cain I go.

I was camping the Corrupt Guards in West Karana. When I turned in their Guard Bracelets to the Captain at the NK Stone Bridge one of the items I recieved was this No Drop Bunker Battle Blade.

As of a week ago this is not working.
Got both pairs of shoulderpads. Did all the quest spiel. Gave them to Cain Darkmoor. Got "I don't know what to do with this" blank.
I did it for the fun of it so I wasn't disappointed. I like killing Legionnaires.

I receive this item after turning in corrupt guard bracers. to bad im a halfling druid
It may work again
# Feb 13 2001 at 2:20 PM Rating: Default
I have in my possession two crushbone leagionare pads, not just leagionare pads as they used to be called. I think I also have two deathfists on a differant char, just can't remember which one.

Since they can now be differenciated from eachother it is possible the quest will work again.

Unfortunately deathfist pads are real hard to get considering the rarity of deathfist legos, not even including the rareity of the drop in general. But if camped for long enough it can't be done.

I did try to do this quest a few weeks back to see if it works again. To my dismay, it does not. Don't waste time trying to do this quest. Cain Darkmoore said something along the lines of "We're at war. We cannot give bunker battle blades anymore...."etc.
It doesn't work for the blade, BUT

It doesn't work for the blade, but can you still do it for the faction?

Nope, nothing, I tried it a few weeks back and he gave me nothing, I thought it was my faction, but I am amiable now.
#Anonymous, Posted: Oct 12 2000 at 3:17 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I think I can speak for everyone on this topic. Please people when you know that someone has been camping for a long time, don't pester them about when they are going to leave. Don't sit down next to them to "wait" until they are done. You might be waiting a long time and then the time it takes for you to complete your camp on top of that. The NPC will always respawn and will always be there. Just ask them kindly if they will send you a tell when they are done and 9 times out of 10 they will. These players are tired from camping that long of a period and quite understandably a little grouchy and become extremely nervous at the thought of someone possibly stealing their kill. So, be courteous.

This item can be obtained through the corrupt guards bracer quest with the Qeynos guards. Simply kill a corrupt guard in WK and turn it in (with indiff or better faction) in NK to Capt. Linarius for a chance, and it is a chance, to get teh Bunker Battle Blade. I've turned in maybe 20-30 bracers and I've got 3 Blades so far. I destroy them since my weakling enchanter self has no use for them. Good luck.
#Anonymous, Posted: Sep 02 2001 at 11:17 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Huh? What's your problem? Don't tell me, let me guess.... you're one of those babbling Madmen who keep attacking people in NRo and Oasis, right?
Faction?
# Jul 11 2000 at 4:27 PM Rating: Default
OK, does completing this quest give anything at all since it doesn't give the blade anymore? IE Does it give positive faction with Steel Warriors, cash, anything?

Nope, not a bloody thing. I did it a few weeks back, and I got the "I'm not sure what to do with these, but thank you" message. However, the most recent update (8/23/00) apparently fixed some quests, and added new ones, although I don't think this was among the changes. Cain Darkmoore still responds something like this to "What are the Green and Blue?":
"Well, there was a time when we would give out Bunker Battle Blades to those brave warriors who would bring back four legionnaire pads--two from the wretched Crushbone orcs and two from the accursed Deathfists, but we have no more blades to spare. We must prepare for war!"

So, I think this one's still inactive.

Believe me, it's not worth having. A Fine Steel 2-hander does more damage. The only use of the BBB is when you don't have a magic weapon of your own.

I just got this item as a reward from Captain Linarius in NK for handing in corrupt guard bracelets. I've handed in over 100 bracelets and only seen this bunker battle blade once. Too bad i'm druid and can't use it...or sell/trade as it is lore/no drop.
ETA Nerf or What?
# Jul 05 2000 at 2:28 PM Rating: Decent
Does anyone have any info from Verant on if this is going to be replaced/fixed/nerfed completely? I talked to cain last night and he told me how to complete the quest but said that he had no more bunker blades to give out. Does he give an alt. reward? If it has been nerfed are they going to pull the quest text? I love the premise of the quest but I dont want to drop four lego pads for nothing. Any info would be most appreciated.
