== Walk Through ==
== Overview ==
# Speak with [[Jarvis Hammerstone]] of [[Cragstone]] who will inform you of a drudge fort west of Cragstone (note: it is not required to speak to Jarvis to begin this quest).
* Investigate the Drudge Fort near Cragstone for Jarvis Hammerstone.
# Head to the fort, destroy the walls, and work your way to the inner ring of the fortress. You will find two NPCs: [[Sergeant Shanks]] the drudge and [[Hoogan]] the Banderling. There is also a cave with a locked door.
 
# Give Sergeant Shanks food items (ursian shanks, found at 25.3N, 46.0E) until he slips and tells you about the blueprints. This flags you to pick up the [[Drudge Fort Blueprints]] dropped by the [[Drudge Biter]]s surrounding the cave entrance. You only need to get flagged once per character and then they can pick up blueprints forever. Bring the Blueprints to Hoogan the Banderling, barricaded inside the small hut. He will tell you that he requires a shovel to escape.
;Prerequisites
#There is a [[A Farmer's Plea for Help|rumor]] sitting in a pile of trash and stolen loot which will lead you to [[Farmer Kao]], the owner of the only shovel in Dereth. It saves time to get [[Farmer Kao's Shovel]] before the quest. Give the shovel to [[Hoogan]] in return for the cave key.
* Before heading to the Drudge Fort make sure you have multiple food items to feed [[Sergeant Shanks]] in step 3 and [[Farmer Kao's Shovel]] for step 4.  Most groups choose to omit these steps and instead have someone PKL through the cave door.  If your group is doing this, skip steps 3 and 4.
#Use the Cave Door Key to access the [[Drudge Cave|Cave]] Dungeon. You will enter in a tunnel which connects to a large chamber. Opposite of you will be a portal to the next area. In order to enter it, you must first kill [[Kernel Klank]]. This will release the restrictions on the portal which takes you to the main and final dungeon, [[Under Drudge Fort]]. This dungeon is a large maze, but experienced players will know the way through. If no one knows the way, study the map carefully.
 
#If you don't have the map:  Once your portal to the lower dungeon, go straight until you hit a wall; go right 90 degrees until you hit a wall; go left and stay left until you go down a ramp; at the bottom of the ramp, stay right until you reach a balloon and a jump down.
== Walkthrough & Notes ==
#When you reach the final room, there is one important thing to remember: Do not kill [[Captain Burnja]]. Killing Burnja puts out the [[Wall of Fire]] and lets [[Bonecrunch]] into the main room where he can and will lay waste to the entire group with his high hollow damage. The general strategy for the final room is this:<blockquote>- Have one person, usually a higher level melee, enter the room first to get Burnja's attention. This player will then lead Burnja off to a side room and hold him there until Bonecrunch dies.<br>- Have an archer open the door behind the fire wall and lure Bonecrunch with an arrow. Then all archers stand in front of (but back away from) the fire wall/door and open fire on Bonecrunch. Slashing ammo with a rending bow is said to be best.<br>- Melees and mages keep the spawns of drudges clear so the archers can stay alive and concentrate on Bonecrunch.<br>- lower levels with life magic (and if possible, a [[The Healer's Heart|Healer's Heart]]) stay back in one of the safer side rooms and heal the fellowship, especially the archers.</blockquote>
# [[Jarvis Hammerstone]] will inform you of a [[Drudge Fort]] west of Cragstone at 25.4N 45.9E.
# When Bonecrunch dies, have everyone in the fellowship loot the key from his corpse.
# Head to the fort, destroy the walls, and work your way to the inner ring of the fortress. You will find two NPCs: [[Sergeant Shanks]] the Drudge and [[Hoogan]] the Banderling. There is also a cave with a locked door.
# Be sure to exit the dungeon using the [[Escape Portal]] that appears behind Bonecrunch's throne. Using this portal is what flags you to get a reward from Jarvis.
# Give Sergeant Shanks food items until he slips and tells you about the blueprints. This flags you to pick up the {{Itemlink|Drudge Fort Blueprints}} dropped by the [[Drudge Biter]]s surrounding the cave entrance. You only need to get flagged once per character and then they can pick up blueprints forever. Not many of the Drudge Biters drop the blueprints, so you may need to do some searching to find them.
# Loot the chest using your key then hit the surface portal to run back to Cragstone and speak with Jarvis. Unwanted items can be traded or turned in for bonus experience.
# Bring the blueprints to Hoogan the Banderling, barricaded inside the small hut. Note that you cannot enter the hut, instead you must interact with Hoogan via the small window in the back of the hut. Give him the blueprints and he will tell you that he requires a shovel to escape. There is a [[A Farmer's Plea for Help|rumor]] sitting in a pile of trash and stolen loot which will lead you to [[Farmer Kao]], the owner of the only shovel in Dereth. It saves time to get [[Farmer Kao's Shovel]] before the quest. Give the shovel to [[Hoogan]] in return for the {{Itemlink|Cave Door Key}}.
#* Tip: You can tell what item is in the chest by looking at the burden:
# Use the Cave Door Key to access the [[Drudge Cave|Cave]] Dungeon. You will enter in a tunnel which connects to a large chamber. Opposite of you will be a portal to the next area. In order to enter it, you must first kill [[Kernel Klank]]. This will release the restrictions on the portal which takes you to the main and final dungeon, [[Under Drudge Fort]].  
# Under Drudge Fort is a large maze, but experienced players will know the way through. If no one knows the way, study the map carefully.  Eventually you will jump down to the lower level where Bonecrunch is.
#* If you don't have the map:  Once your portal to the lower dungeon, go straight until you hit a wall; go right 90 degrees until you hit a wall; go left and stay left until you go down a ramp; at the bottom of the ramp, stay right until you reach a balloon and a jump down.
# When you reach the final room, there is one important thing to remember: '''Do not kill [[Captain Burnja]]'''. Killing Burnja puts out the [[Wall of Fire]] and lets [[Bonecrunch]] into the main room where he can and will lay waste to the entire group with his high hollow damage. The general strategy for the final room is this:
#* Have one ore more players lead Burnja off to a side room and hold him there until Bonecrunch dies.
#* Have an archer open the door behind the fire wall and lure Bonecrunch with an arrow.  
#* Have all archers and mages open fire on Bonecrunch. Slashing ammo with a rending bow is said to be best.
#* Melees keep the spawns of drudges clear so the archers/mages can stay alive and concentrate on Bonecrunch.
#* If anyone dies, they can portal recall and land at the top of the Under Drudge Fort
# When Bonecrunch dies, it is then safe to kill Captain Burnja.  Once Burnja is dead and the flame wall is down, have everyone in the fellowship loot {{Itemlink|Bonecrunch's Chest Key}} from his corpse.
#* Captain Burnja carries 1 special board with nail that can also be turned in for a small amount of XP. He also drops {{Itemlink|Burnja Token}} that can be given in for a title reward.
# Once everyone has a key, exit the dungeon using the [[Escape Portal]] that appears behind Bonecrunch's throne. Using this portal is what flags you to get a reward from Jarvis.
# Close the chest, if open, and then unlock it using your key.
#* {{Tip}} You can tell what item is in the chest by looking at the burden:
#** Orb = 9140 BU  
#** Orb = 9140 BU  
#** Scroll = 9070 BU  
#** Scroll = 9070 BU  
#** Hammer = 9840 BU
#** Hammer = 9840 BU
# New titles can be earned when repeating (some were only during the first month).
# When finished, use the surface portal and run back to Cragstone and speak with Jarvis for experience and a random title reward.
#* {{Optional}} Unwanted items can be traded or turned in for bonus experience.
 
Notes
* If you have more than 1 fellowship, you will need to kill Bonecrunch more than 1 time so everyone gets a key.  To do this safely, '''everyone should move back to one of the side rooms and wait for Bonecrunch and Burnja to respawn'''.  If you do not, there is a chance that Bonecrunch will get beyond the flame wall before it can respawn.

== Dialog ==
<font color=green>You give Hoogan Drudge Fort Blueprints.<br>
=== Opening Dialog ===
Hoogan looks the blueprints over.</font> <br>
:Jarvis Hammerstone tells you, "We've driven those theiving Drudges back to their fort! but I'm worried they're still planning something..."
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Hoogan tells you, "Alright, we know we need to dig to avoid these tunnels the Drudges dug here and here, but we don't have anything to dig with. If we had a shovel we could really get out of here." <br>
:Jarvis lowers his voice to a whisper.
Hoogan tells you, "Can you find us a shovel? I don't know what the drudges used to dig their tunnels, but maybe you can find a clue around. If you bring me back a shovel I'll give you this key we slipped off of Shanks when he was sleeping today. I think it leads into their tunnels below." <br>
:Jarvis Hammerstone tells you, "Alot of help those Royal Guard were, just standing around and sending messages back and forth!"
Hoogan tells you, "Remember, if you find a shovel be sure not to give it to anyone else. Bring it to me."</font>
:Jarvis Hammerstone tells you, "The Healer, Avalenne, says she can see Drudges patrolling their fort west of town."
:Jarvis Hammerstone tells you, "The Cragstone Elders have charged me with the task of getting rid of the drudges and I will reward you well if you can discover what they're doing in that fort of theirs."

=== Sergeant Shanks ===
:Sergeant Shanks tells you, "I no talk to you. You are not Drudge and I told not to talk to not Drudge!"

<font color=darkgoldenrod>Hoogan tells you, "Perfect! With this we can finish the tunnel we've been clawing and scrapping out under the bed in here. You've saved my skin friend. Take this key and bring the fight to the Drudges in their tunnels and caves below."</font> <br>
:Hoogan tells you, "Alright, we know we need to dig to avoid these tunnels the Drudges dug here and here, but we don't have anything to dig with. If we had a shovel we could really get out of here."

<font color=darkgoldenrod>Hoogan tells you, "The tunneling is going much faster now that we have the shovel you brought us. You should use that key I gave you to get into the Drudges under ground caves. I'm pretty sure their leader is down there. At least that's what Shanks let slip the other day. Thanks again human and good luck."</font>
:Hoogan tells you, "Remember, if you find a shovel be sure not to give it to anyone else. Bring it to me."

:Bonecrunch says, "Your not part of the Plan!"
:Bonecrunch says, "What? You call this loot? How come I never get your weapons?"

:You hand over 1 of your Protective Drudge Charms.
:Jarvis Hammerstone tells you, "This is one of BoneCrunch's treasures? It looks like some of the other Drudge Charms I've seen, but it's obviously more powerful. I'll have Suya the Jeweler take a look at it. Thank you, here is a small reward for your help."

Aerbax's Prodigal Drudge
Level: Any
Rec. Level: 75+
Type: Fellowship
Starts With: Jarvis Hammerstone (Optional)
Starts At: 25.6N, 49.4E in Cragstone
Repeat: 20 Hours
Contracts: Contract for Aerbax's Prodigal Drudge

Overview Edit

  • Investigate the Drudge Fort near Cragstone for Jarvis Hammerstone.
Prerequisites
  • Before heading to the Drudge Fort make sure you have multiple food items to feed Sergeant Shanks in step 3 and Farmer Kao's Shovel for step 4. Most groups choose to omit these steps and instead have someone PKL through the cave door. If your group is doing this, skip steps 3 and 4.

Walkthrough & Notes Edit

  1. Jarvis Hammerstone will inform you of a Drudge Fort west of Cragstone at 25.4N 45.9E.
  2. Head to the fort, destroy the walls, and work your way to the inner ring of the fortress. You will find two NPCs: Sergeant Shanks the Drudge and Hoogan the Banderling. There is also a cave with a locked door.
  3. Give Sergeant Shanks food items until he slips and tells you about the blueprints. This flags you to pick up the Drudge Fort Blueprints dropped by the Drudge Biters surrounding the cave entrance. You only need to get flagged once per character and then they can pick up blueprints forever. Not many of the Drudge Biters drop the blueprints, so you may need to do some searching to find them.
  4. Bring the blueprints to Hoogan the Banderling, barricaded inside the small hut. Note that you cannot enter the hut, instead you must interact with Hoogan via the small window in the back of the hut. Give him the blueprints and he will tell you that he requires a shovel to escape. There is a rumor sitting in a pile of trash and stolen loot which will lead you to Farmer Kao, the owner of the only shovel in Dereth. It saves time to get Farmer Kao's Shovel before the quest. Give the shovel to Hoogan in return for the Cave Door Key.
  5. Use the Cave Door Key to access the Cave Dungeon. You will enter in a tunnel which connects to a large chamber. Opposite of you will be a portal to the next area. In order to enter it, you must first kill Kernel Klank. This will release the restrictions on the portal which takes you to the main and final dungeon, Under Drudge Fort.
  6. Under Drudge Fort is a large maze, but experienced players will know the way through. If no one knows the way, study the map carefully. Eventually you will jump down to the lower level where Bonecrunch is.
    • If you don't have the map: Once your portal to the lower dungeon, go straight until you hit a wall; go right 90 degrees until you hit a wall; go left and stay left until you go down a ramp; at the bottom of the ramp, stay right until you reach a balloon and a jump down.
  7. When you reach the final room, there is one important thing to remember: Do not kill Captain Burnja. Killing Burnja puts out the Wall of Fire and lets Bonecrunch into the main room where he can and will lay waste to the entire group with his high hollow damage. The general strategy for the final room is this:
    • Have one ore more players lead Burnja off to a side room and hold him there until Bonecrunch dies.
    • Have an archer open the door behind the fire wall and lure Bonecrunch with an arrow.
    • Have all archers and mages open fire on Bonecrunch. Slashing ammo with a rending bow is said to be best.
    • Melees keep the spawns of drudges clear so the archers/mages can stay alive and concentrate on Bonecrunch.
    • If anyone dies, they can portal recall and land at the top of the Under Drudge Fort
  8. When Bonecrunch dies, it is then safe to kill Captain Burnja. Once Burnja is dead and the flame wall is down, have everyone in the fellowship loot Bonecrunch's Chest Key from his corpse.
    • Captain Burnja carries 1 special board with nail that can also be turned in for a small amount of XP. He also drops Burnja Token that can be given in for a title reward.
  9. Once everyone has a key, exit the dungeon using the Escape Portal that appears behind Bonecrunch's throne. Using this portal is what flags you to get a reward from Jarvis.
  10. Close the chest, if open, and then unlock it using your key.
    • Tip: You can tell what item is in the chest by looking at the burden:
      • Orb = 9140 BU
      • Scroll = 9070 BU
      • Hammer = 9840 BU
  11. When finished, use the surface portal and run back to Cragstone and speak with Jarvis for experience and a random title reward.
    • Optional: Unwanted items can be traded or turned in for bonus experience.

Notes

  • If you have more than 1 fellowship, you will need to kill Bonecrunch more than 1 time so everyone gets a key. To do this safely, everyone should move back to one of the side rooms and wait for Bonecrunch and Burnja to respawn. If you do not, there is a chance that Bonecrunch will get beyond the flame wall before it can respawn.

Jarvis Hammerstone tells you, "Alot of help those Royal Guard were, just standing around and sending messages back and forth!"
Jarvis Hammerstone tells you, "The Healer, Avalenne, says she can see Drudges patrolling their fort west of town."
Jarvis Hammerstone tells you, "The Cragstone Elders have charged me with the task of getting rid of the drudges and I will reward you well if you can discover what they're doing in that fort of theirs."

Handing in Drudge Fort Blueprints to Hoogan Edit

You give Hoogan Drudge Fort Blueprints.
Hoogan looks the blueprints over.
Hoogan tells you, "Alright, we know we need to dig to avoid these tunnels the Drudges dug here and here, but we don't have anything to dig with. If we had a shovel we could really get out of here."
Hoogan tells you, "Can you find us a shovel? I don't know what the drudges used to dig their tunnels, but maybe you can find a clue around. If you bring me back a shovel I'll give you this key we slipped off of Shanks when he was sleeping today. I think it leads into their tunnels below."
Hoogan tells you, "Remember, if you find a shovel be sure not to give it to anyone else. Bring it to me."

Hoogan bestows the title "Hoogan's Hero" on you.
Hoogan tells you, "Perfect! With this we can finish the tunnel we've been clawing and scrapping out under the bed in here. You've saved my skin friend. Take this key and bring the fight to the Drudges in their tunnels and caves below."
Hoogan gives you Cave Door Key.
Hoogan tells you, "The tunneling is going much faster now that we have the shovel you brought us. You should use that key I gave you to get into the Drudges under ground caves. I'm pretty sure their leader is down there. At least that's what Shanks let slip :the other day. Thanks again human and good luck."

Bonecrunch Edit

Bonecrunch says, "Stay away from my apples!"
Bonecrunch says, "You! How did you get into my fortress? Never mind, now it's time for you to go crunch!"
Bonecrunch says, "This is my throne room. I am BoneCrunch and that's my throne. There, tours over, now you die."
Bonecrunch says, "Your time as masters of this land is at an end humans. You have no idea what is coming."
Bonecrunch says, "You have defeated my child. Your kind shows just as much promise as the Martine creature did. Soon you will embrace the simple truth. Clarity and purpose will be paid for with free will."
Bonecrunch says, "Your not part of the Plan!"
Bonecrunch says, "What? You call this loot? How come I never get your weapons?"
Bonecrunch says, "Come! Protect your leader! Bite! Stab! Burn!"

Captain Burnja Edit

Returning to Jarvis Hammerstone Edit
