This quest is given by Guard Valon at the toll booth in the Commonlands. You must have amiable faction level with the Freeport Militia in order to receive it.

The Orc Picks quest (also given by Valon) can be used to increase faction.


Amiable faction with The Freeport Militia is REQUIRED in order to accept this quest. Also, you will still need to complete the Orc Pick quest, at least once, in order to do this quest. [need confirmation that "orc picks" is a prerequisite]

After finishing the Orc Pawn Pick quest, AND having AMIABLE faction:

Guard Valon says 'You have done well. Keep up the good work and we may trust you to [hunt dervish cutthroats] which in turn will allow you to join the Reserve Freeport Militia.'
You say, 'I will hunt dervish cutthroats'
Guard Valon says 'You will make a fine reservist! Take this bag and fill it with dervish cutthroat insignia rings. When they are combined and returned to me, you shall be accepted into the Reserve Freeport Militia!'

You'll receive an 8-slot container called "Bag for Cutthroat Rings".

Cutthroat Insignia Rings are dropped pretty commonly from dervish cutthroats located in the Commonlands and North Ro.

Combine them in the container and turn in the result to Guard Valon.

After turning in the Bag of Cuttthroat Rings.

Guard Valon says 'Excellent work, _______! You are quite formidable. Maybe soon you will aid in our efforts to rid the northern part of Freeport of the paladins! Until then, keep up the good work. Take this armory token to the militia armorer in the Militia House in Freeport to receive your tunic. He may not be there, but I assure you he will show up at some time. On the second floor. Hail Sir Lucan!'

Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia has been adjusted by 10.
Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth has been adjusted by -1.
Your faction standing with Priests of Marr has been adjusted by -1.

You also recieve a Military Armory Token

After handing in the four picks from the orc pawns he gives you the words in brackets to tell him "I will hunt dervish cutthroats." That gives you the 8 slot bag for the rings.

Ok, Will you only have to finish the quest once? Or is there a chance you will be dubiously to the the militia still? Cuz i really don't wanna waste any more time on a quest that does nothing for me?

yeah

He says something like "If the Militia trusts you enough we may give you other tasks" or something along those lines. It just means, he won't give you the bag until you do the orc pawn pick quest enough to raise your faction. *theory*

Can you wear the tunic which is the result of this quest?? If not then it won't help you much to do this.

Actually, this is a decent quest for new servers, such as Firiona Vie. Banded didn't appear on FV until about 3 weeks into it, due to the fact that new server people have to get cash, then get smithing up, etc. Anyways, the Tunic is 9 AC, +3 Dex. Not much, banded walks all over it, but for a new start up server, it's a hell of a lot better than patchwork.

P.S. I wore patchwork/a few studded leather pieces and this until about an hour ago, when I paid a guild mate 40 pp for a near full set of banded.

You think wrong. Banded is AC15, as a simple search would have shown you.

Listen man. There are reasons why they have quests like these, this one happens to not be for exp, it's for faction so some of us can stop being KOS to the guards and merchants. And the cursing just shows your immaturity. Why don't go back to the newbie zones and hunt bats and snakes, it's obvious you can't play with the big kids.

i said "i want to hunt dervish cutthroats" no period, not caps, just like that. he gave me bag, I filled bag, hit combine (which he tells you to do) then it becomes a lore item (changes graphic to that of a backpack) and you can no longer open it. then give it back to him (btw bag is called "bag for cutthroat insignia rings") he will give you a millitia token coin to take to armorer on second floor of FP militia house, give the coin to him (will post again after I do it to tell you where he is) and should get tunic...

#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 07 2001 at 9:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ok when you get the coin or whatever you have to give it to a guad forgot the name in militia and then he wil give you this corny breast plate its not worth it
cant get bag
# Jun 17 2001 at 11:31 AM Rating: Default
I have tried this quest over ten times now, i cannot get the bag. I say " i will hunt dervish cutthroats." , and nothing. I always remember the period and I always give picks first. he never gives a bag. can I use my own?
I dont get it.
# Jun 05 2001 at 4:36 AM Rating: Default
I did this quest 3 times. He gave me the bag, I filled it with the rings, I gave it back to him and I got nothiing back. No token,no faction, no nothing. All he Says is somthing about "You should donate this to the freeport milita" or somthing 8 times.
I even tried asking the quest right before I turn in the bag. I could of just those rings to a vendor for 1gp a peice.
As far as im conserned, this quest SUCKS.

You need to hit the Combine button before giving the bag to Valon. If this is not done, the outcome will be what you have mentioned.

Nah... I hit combine and it didn't help. I sent of a petition, we'll see if it's been broken after this last patch.

How do you do these faction increasing quests with being less than indifferent or KOS to them? i want to not be KOS to freeport militia
RE: what if your KOS already?

There are quests in Highpass Hold that can increase your faction with the Freeport Militia, as well as some of the other "shady" factions in Antonica. Captain Ashlan and Captain Orben give out these quests.

Ask Guard Valon, "I will hunt dervish cutthroats." and don't forget to place a period at the end of your sentence or it will not work. He will give you the bag, fill it with Cutt rings, give it back to him, he will give you the token, take it to Freeport West, give it to the guard on the 3rd lvl of the Militia house, he will give you a reserve militia tunic, your done.

I gave him the orc pics, and he gave me the Money, but no bag. Anyone know why? I'm a lvl 17 warrior.
RE: Weird
# Feb 19 2001 at 11:06 AM Rating: Default
I did exactly the same, gave him the four picks and just got gold. I believe it's a faction thing.

You have to ask for the bag. Not sure of the exact words, but it has to do with killing dervish cutthroats. When you give him the Orc Pawn Pics he will say something to you with the correct words in brackets.

Faction does have something to do with it. I had to give him like 16 - 20 pics before he would give me the bag. He has to see you as better then indifferent to get the bag.

Does anyone know the connect words to tell him about [hunt dervish cutthroats]?
