== Overview ==
Feuding Societies are now going after each other by infiltrating each others basements.  Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to sneak in, do as much damage as you can and get out.

* You have 40 minutes to complete the tasks. A strong mage can complete this quest in as little as 10 minutes. 
* Only '''one person''' may attempt this quest at a time from each society.
* If you die, you must wait until the 40 minutes is up in order to try again.

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
# '''Flagging.''' Talk to the [[Operations Aid]] in your Society's Stronghold ( In the west wing of the Faction Stronghold near the society armor NPCs.).  If the quest is available, the Aid will teleport you to a room with an [[Operations Specialist]] and an exit portal.  Talk to the Specialist, and click "Yes" only once you are ready to begin.
# '''Clear Two Rooms.''' Run, don't fight, out of the south hallway into the main room and turn left into the west hallway taking either split past the first room and stop. Kill any spawn that followed. Then clear the side room on that split and go back to the other split in the west hall and clear it. Both small side rooms must be killed. (There is no need to kill spawns in main room you passed as you went from the south hall to the west hall.) As you approach each side room, you can lure two of the soldiers into the hallway staying out of the line of fire from archers and mages.  Once both side rooms are clear, this will open a door further in towards the west. **You need to pass the entry-way to each room in order for the door to open.
# '''Supply Room.''' Kill the Soldier in the next room and loot the {{Itemlink|Supply Room Key}} on his corpse.  Unlock the Supply Room door and use the [[Lantern]] which will set the supply crates ablaze.
# '''Main Keys'''.  Head east back to the main room and run across to the east hall and the next set of doors that have opened.  Kill the two Master Sodiers in the hallway on both sides of the split for the two {{Itemlink|Main Key}}s No need to kill the remaining spawns in the side rooms - saving time.  One key will unlock a door to a weapons room and the other to the locked north door in the main room.
# '''Loot Weapons'''.  Unlock weapons room and loot {{Itemlink|Well Crafted Sword}}, {{Itemlink|Well Crafted Wand}} and {{Itemlink|Well Crafted Bow}} from the ground.
# '''Prison Key'''.  Head back to the main room and unlock the remaining door before the spawn in the main room has a chance to attack you. Once inside door, head back to the split hallway in order to stay out of line of fire from main room spawn.  Bring one of the Master Soldiers out from the room into hallway and kill him looting the {{Itemlink|Prison Key}} he drops.
# '''Free Captives'''.  Continue to a closed door and a "T" in the hallway.  Head right and unlock the two doors with the prison key.  Note that the prison doors are not directly across from one another.  Talk to the [[Captive (Level 200)|Captives]] inside to free them.
# '''Vat'''.  Head back up and across to the [[Smelting Vat]]. '''There is a bug in this quest though. The door into the room with the smelting pot should be unlocked after the prisoners have been freed. Sometimes however the door will remain locked. When the door is locked there is a small chance you can wait for the prisoners to reappear, free them, and finish the quest. This bug appears to have something to do with timers not resetting from the previous questor.''' Place one weapon inside and it will take all three weapons, destroying them.
# '''Commander and Documents'''.  Once the weapons are destroyed, the final door at the "T" will open where you will face a [[Commander]]. You must defeat him before you can use the [[Documents]], otherwise you will receive a message that you do not safe with the Commander nearby. In certain cases, you can avoid killing the Commander by trapping him on the spiral staircase and simply running past to use the documents. If he is not on the top level but trapped below you will be able to use the documents without killing him. A melee character pressed for time can save several minutes with this strategy.
# Pick up the documents that can be found by pressing the '/' key after killing the Commander and you will be portaled back to the Operations Specialist.  Talk to him to receive your reward.

;Notes

General Strategies
* If you have a high base [[Assess Creature]], you can use the [[Utterly Flawless Lense]] or [[Incomparable Lense]] to Imperil enemies quickly.
* If you have a high base [[Alchemy]], you can use the [[Alchemical Throwing Phials]] to Imperil and Vuln your targets.

Strategies for Melees
* Use a magic absorbing shield.
* Do not stand toe-to-toe with the Mages in the first two rooms.  Hit one, then leave room and heal.  Come back and repeat until they are dead.
* Use a Spectral Rare from Lord M quest.  The rare costs only 2 Lord Mhoire Coins and it raises your skill enough to kill quickly. 
* Use Dispell Gems when taking on the mages.
* After the store room is set on fire, you do not need to worry about killing mages or archers any more.  Lure the soldiers out of each room and kill them in the hallway.
* Do not try to heal inside the rooms with mages.  Run to the hall and heal.  The mages and archers will not follow you.
* Use Blighted/Weeping Weapon on the soldiers.
* Use Acid Rend Weapon on archers and Mages.

Master Soldiers
* The [[Master Soldier]]s have an extremely high melee defense and a shield. Debuffing the shield does not significantly improve damage—you must use a weapon that ignores shields.
* If you have a [[Weeping Weapons|Weeping weapon]], you will find it difficult to hit them, even with 530+ buffed skill. You must either used a [[Blighted Weapons|Blighted weapon]] (which has a higher attack modifier) or debuff their weapons melee defense modifier. Since hitting them is a challenge, using a [[Royal Runed Weapons|Royal Runed Weapon]] is not feasible until their melee defense modifier is debuffed. If you do choose to use a [[Weeping Weapons|Weeping weapon]], make sure you use an elemental one.
* Debuffing their weapons can be accomplished by using a [[Royal Runed Slashing Baton]] to land [[Futility]], and then casting [[Wi's Folly]]. Note that the [[Master Mages]] will cast level 8 magic ineptitudes on you, except for [[Item Enchantment]]. A 360 buffed skill with [[Futility]] gives a somewhat decent chance to affect them.
* If you are an archer, using a [[Weeping Weapons|Weeping weapon]] and [[Royal Runed Weapons|Royal Runed Weapon]] on the [[Master Soldier]]s is usually fine.

Master Archers
* These have an extremely high melee defense skill as well. See above strategies for countering it.
* If you are a Player Killer, you can use a [[Black Page of Salt and Ash]] to get an additional 10% attack skill modifier.

Master Mages
* These have a higher magic defense, but a lower melee defense than the rest. A good weapon with rending capability will help.
* They debuff magic skills with 8s, so a [[Spectral Mastery Crystals|Spectral Rare]] or a [[Society Gem of Dispelling]] comes in handy if you are a mage.
