    This is the first upgraded warrior pike quest. Drill Master Vygan may be found at -456, 26.

    You say, 'Hail, Drill Master Vygan'

    Drill Master Vygan says 'I am a Drill Master of the Legion of Cabilis. I have no time for idle chitchat. Be off if you were not summoned to this fortress! Find that guild which was chosen for you as an egg.'

    You say, 'What militia pike?'

    Drill Master Vygan says 'The pike is the prime weapon of Cabilis warriors. It can be upgraded, too, such as from the partisan pike to the militia pike and beyond. All these pikes may be slung on one's back when your hands are needed for other pursuits. To upgrade a pike is something that is learned, but it can never be performed without a [geozite tool]. Do you [desire to upgrade the partisan pike]?'

    You say, 'I desire to upgrade the partisan pike'

    Drill Master Vygan says 'It seems as though a traitor is among our people. Someone has smuggled shackle keys to the slaves. The froglok slaves have been escaping into the swamplands and there we can hear the whistle of their contact who escorts them to freedom. We must put a stop to this! I desire three things. Your partisan pike, the head of the Iksar traitor and the whistle of the escort. Bring these to me and I shall give you the militia pike.'

    Drill Master Vygan wants you to find the traitor who is helping the froglok slaves escape, along with his froglok accomplice. You'll need to head to the Swamp of No Hope first, and look for "a froglok escort" or "Froglok Escort" and kill it. They can be found near the newbie area, usually on the first island South of the city along the road.

    a froglok escort says 'Grripp.. Must not interfere with my mission!! Ribbit.'
    You have slain a froglok escort!
    a froglok escort's corpse says 'Gcroooakk.. I have failed.. Unghhh.'
    --You have looted a Bixie Berry Pie.--
    --You have looted a Froglok Escort Fife.--

    You now have the whistle that the Drill Master speaks of, and a new clue: a Bixie Berry Pie. If you go to the bakers near the bank in East Cabilis, you'll find a Klok that mentions pies. Talk to him about it.

    Klok Unlar wipes flour from his hands and turns to greet you. 'Welcome! Please look over my many treats. Do not think of the coin you shall spend. Heavy coin buys the finest and sweetest of treats. Feel free to ask me about any of the rare pies you see as I can tell you exactly how I make them.'

    You say, 'What bixie berry pie?'

    Klok Unlar says 'Bixie berry pie?!! It is no treat and is poisonous to the Iksar. We use it to keep our froglok slaves nourished. My apprentice baker, Bugrin, bakes them and delivers them to the slaves. Only he has access to the bixie berry pie recipe. All the pies are eaten by the slaves. If you think you have one, you must be mistaken. Let me see it if you believe you have one.'

    Klok Unlar breaks open the crust of the pie. 'Wait! What is this? A device of some kind? It looks kind of like some sort of lockpick. BUGRIN!! Get in here and answer some questions at once!!'

    Just outside the Klok's shop Bugrin the Gatherer will spawn. You must get outside and kill him fast, as he will try to run away (very quickly).

    Bugrin the Gatherer says 'You will never take me alive!!'
    You have slain Bugrin the Gatherer!
    Bugrin the Gatherer's corpse says 'hisss.. You will never stop the.. Radiant.. Green..'
    --You have looted a An Iksar Head.--

    Now that you've looted his head, you have what the Drill Master wants. Take the "An Iksar Head", "Froglok Escort Fife", and your Partisan Pike to Drill Master Vygan and turn them in.

    Drill Master Vygan says 'You shall wield no militia pike until I have the head of the traitor, the fife of the escort and the partisan pike.'
    Drill Master Vygan says 'You shall wield no militia pike until I have the head of the traitor, the fife of the escort and the partisan pike.'
    Drill Master Vygan says 'You have perfomed just as expected. I bestow upon you the rank of militiaman. Here is your new pike. Past this, you shall require the [geozite tool] to upgrade your future pikes and mancatchers. We see much promise in you, militiaman. Go forth to serve the realm.'
    Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis has been adjusted by 10.
    Your faction standing with Cabilis Residents has been adjusted by 2.
    Your faction standing with Scaled Mystics has been adjusted by 2.
    Your faction standing with Crusaders Of Greenmist has been adjusted by 2.

    When he passes by the froglok slaves for soem reason they attack him.But the guards dont.He runs to FoB zone.
    How do you kill this guy?

    I am level 8. I gave the pie to the baker myself, but made sure the door was open at the time. I rushed out and tried to hit the runner. the first time, he ran until he got to the frog slave holding pens and they stole my kill. The second time I slaughtered all the frogs before starting, but he ran to the FOB zone and disappeared. He cons green but appears to have lots of hitpoints. If I can put up with the aggravation of getting another pie, I may try again with my bow, but it doesn't look promising.

    I've foraged up a number of Bixie Berry Pies in Warsliks Woods (how you forage a whole pie is beyond me, but it happens).. don't know if it's something anyone can forage or only people with 100+ Foraging skill, but anyway there are extras out there if you /shout out for one, I know I'd be happy to give my pies to anyone who needed to quest with them.

    it was easy, i gave the guy a pie and i opened the door, then he ran off, i got some hits on him, he attacked me, and i killed him. dont do the upgrade quests they are a gigantic waste of time
    Don't Play an Iksar

    Don't play an Iksar if you don't like the quests. IMHO the quests are part of the fun for the Iksars. They show the heritage and traditions of the Iksar Race. As well as give you something to strive for. Get into the Role or get outta the game....

    Yeah it's not hard. I gave the pie to the baker, and this guy spawned. I ran out and chased him for a while till I could get a clear bow shot to pull him. I dinked him with an arrow, he came for me, we fought, he fled, when he healed a bit he came back, I hit him, and he tried to flee again but was hurt too bad so he was really slow and I could stab him in the back to finish him. It's not hard, just pull him with the bow.

    works with anything that is ranged weapon
    #Anonymous, Posted: Oct 12 2000 at 3:10 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 quest raises LegionOfCabilis faction in addition to the four factions listed above. Kinda disappointed that this info (which I submitted) was entered incorrectly.

    Bugrin appears right outside the door to the shop. You might want to have someone else go in and turn in the pie while you wait outside. Bugrin is immune to all spells, so be prepared.
    #Anonymous, Posted: Nov 13 2000 at 12:21 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) this is probably the last pike quest I'm going to do because i have no intention of using all that cash on smithing...
