Arm, Mind and Heart or getting a Helm with Horns
Having visited Aurutis and Kifandel in Linvak I learned of their need
to defeat their enemies to the East, SouthEast and NorthEast and return the purloined 'plastic foozles of ultimate power' objects. Sure sounds like a quest that was first run by a set of PC lawyers and pyshco-babble censors. I guess asking someone "go smite mine enemies filling the valleys with their blood and you shall be rewarded" is just too bloody for a wiggles-Teletubbie universe of carebears. No they must cloak the dark deed in mystery and the need of returning stolen objects.
Long ago you once had to defeat the Lugian Commander in the tunnels under/leading to Linvak before the commander and his lieutenant would appear in the first camp. Then 10 minutes later the first camp would spawn and each successive camp spawned about 10 minutes after the defeat of the previous Commander. But now one merely has to race over to the first 'camp' - more like a patch of brown dirt in the snow this time of year then a true fortified encampment - and start the slaughter.
If you don't have a sturdy set of armor, a nice shield and a high MissileDefense it may be wise to work you way around the outer edges clearing the lesser luggians before meeting with the two top dogs. Also watch out for the annoying trio of Mattekars that seem to act as guard/attack dogs. Once defeated besure to loot the Lugian Crest and the Lugian Pauldrons from the master and the Lt.
NOTE: the Colth of Arms is no-drop/give and as long as you don't kill the Commander, the Lt should continue to spawn letting all in the party get one. Axe Mastery skill must be at least trained to 250 or higher in order to infuse the sleeves of Inexhaustability. Failing several times I merely lost the infusion potion (2,800py), previously a failure meant the destruction of the item and a 24 hour wait to pick up another. With quests of old it would now be on to a nearby tavern for much boasting and celebrating your victory. But now days we typically still have a more to do. First it is back to Linvak, where You need to give Aurutis:
NOTE: if you still have and use the old versions of the Arm, Mind, and Heart AND wish to upgrade them you can turn those items into Auritus and he will upgrade them for you, free of charge. and You need to give Master Ulkas:
NOTE: if you fought your way through Obeloths, Tiatus, Raiders and Extas Lugians to the commander in the tunnels below Linvak and picked up the lugian armor give it to Ulkas in exchange for the Bastion of Tukal. The Basition is 50AL better and 200py more in value otherwise the items are similar.
Finally it is time to infuse the three no-drop/give items to make them useful, however each will require a particular skill to be at least trained and buffable to about 250 to succeed. This will require travelling to the three newbie towns and purchasing, 2,700py, potions from the Lugian gem sellers. Once infused, an item can be given or dropped.
Ag Nar There is a 1 week timer on the items looted from the commanders.
Note: most of the items are nice wall hanging items however the Helm of Crag is the dyeable helm with yellow horns that a lot of folks like wearing about town.
