Free the Wolves
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
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. The kobolds (that you have to kill to raise your orc faction) in the NW caves of the zone are in the same caves as the cages and pups you will have to feed. Might make a label on your map. 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. If there are no cages there, the task should update anyways. 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. 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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Confirmed that you need faction now to get the task. He will simply tell you to go away if you did not work on it.
Still works in rogue shroud. Got to tonight.
My rogue has not done any faction work here, I got the task today by using sneak behind his back while saying the quest text. I am KoS though and the wolf pups next to him aggro when he turns around to face me, if I do not hide quickly.

Ive posted before and i had someone clear out the area so i wouldnt have any issuse. i hail said somthing about my breath, i did shroud rogue and still nothing.,
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.

Ok i tried this quest one more time in shroud mode and YES it WORKED but i was killing Nightmoon for 2 days
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.
Tal,
Need a /Location of this guy plz
sneaking and talking to him from behind works... just need somebody to move the mobs out before hand.... 10/2006

Well im not sure why he will not speak to me. Rogue sneak didnt work either he really doesnt like me. Im wondering if there is a faction requirment that with rogue sneak u can get round. But ive killed so many mobs that have hurt my faction agaist them so, Maybe ill just have to get faction back.
And when i talked to him the area was clear.

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.

Im trying to do this Quest as well. This NPC wont talk me if im invisible and it just insults me if im visible. same story to my other group members. How make the NPC to give you the Quest? We are about to beat it up... /grumble
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

As of this post, the effect from the charm does not stack with
Aura of Eternity (5mana/5HP regen)
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=3627
Also this blocks my Pet
Just a heads up

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.
