    This is the second upgraded warrior pike quest.

    You say, 'Hail, Drill Master Kyg'

    Drill Master Kyg says 'Welcome. Welcome!! Time to train. Time to fight. Time to serve the Iksar Empire. You will need weapons. I have the [footman pike] for all new recruits to earn.'

    You say, 'what footman pike?'

    Drill Master Kyg says 'A footman pike is what you need. A footman pike is what you get, but earn it you will. You must [slay many beasts] to prove to us that you are a true warrior. Fail and you will be exiled to live with the Forsaken.'

    You say, 'I will slay many beasts'

    Drill Master Kyg says 'Yes. You will slay or you will be slain. Take this footman's pack and fill it you will. Fill it with [weapons of our foes]. When all are combined, the full footman's pack shall be returned to me along with your militia pike. Do this and earn your footman pike and then we may have a true mission for you.'

    You say, 'what weapons of our foes?'

    Drill Master Kyg says 'Yes. You need to know the weapons required. Fill the pack with javelins. Froglok bounder and goblin hunter javelins. Two of each.'

    You receive a "Footman's Pack" (4-slot container).

    Drill Master Kyg has a mission you need to complete if you want to get your Footman's Pike. He wants you to find four javelins, two from froglok bounders (found near the middle of the Swamp of No Hope) and two from goblin hunters (found in the middle of the valley leading to the lake in the Lake of Ill Omen).

    About one out of four goblin hunters and froglok bounders will have the javelin. They will equip it if they have it. They are named "Goblin Hunter Javelin" and "Froglok Bounder Javelin". Once you have all four, combine them in the Footman's Pack to receive "Full Footman's Pack".

    Return to Drill Master Kyg and hand in your Full Footman's Pack and your Militia Pike.


    Drill Master Kyg says 'You were instructed to return with the full footmans pack and your militia pike.'
    Drill Master Kyg says 'Kyg knew you could do it. You will make a fine legionnaire some day but, for now, you shall be a footman. Take the footman pike head plans. Forge the footman's pike. Do so, and then you may have an audience with the War Baron on the subject of his [Memory of Sebilis].'
    Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis got better.
    Your faction standing with Cabilis Residents got better.
    Your faction standing with Scaled Mystics got better.
    Your faction standing with Crusaders Of Greenmist got better.
    Your faction standing with Swift Tails got better.
    You gain experience!!

    You will have received "Footman Head Plans"

    You now need to forge your Footman's Pike. Go outside the fort near the forge and find Weaponsmith Grugl. He can tell you how to make your Footman's Pike.

    You say, 'what footman's pike?'

    Weaponsmith Grugl says 'To forge a footman pike requires skill as well as an iron rod, forging hammer and a footman pike head. To forge the pike head you will need a geozite tool, raw pike head and petrified redwood if the footman pike head plans are yours.'

    Buy a "Raw Pike Head", "Forging Hammer", and an "Iron Rod" from Weaponsmith Grugl.

    In a forge, combine "A Raw Pike Head", "Footman Head Plans", "Petrified Redwood" (foraged in Warslik's Woods or dropped from succulents in The Overthere), and your Geozite Tool (obtained by a quest from Drill Master Vygan). You'll receive "Footman's Pike Head" (blacksmithing, 15 trivial). If you fail you'll receive your Geozite Tool and your Footman Head Plans back.

    You then need to combine an "Iron Rod", "Forging Hammer", and your "Footman's Pike Head" in the forge to obtain your Footman's Pike. If you fail the combine you'll receive your Footman's Pike Head back (trivial is 21).

    Congratulations, you've received your Footman's Pike!

    Did it last night

    I followed the instructions above & with a smithing skill of 21 it was both successful & trivial to make.
    How NOW to do it?

    The quest has changed a bit. The weaponsmith now says "To Forge a Footman Pike requires skill as well as an iron rod, forging hammer and a footman pike head. To forge the pike head you will need a geozite tool, raw pike head and petrified redwood if the footman pike head plans are yours."
    Please note the addition of 'if the footman pike head plans are yours'. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if this means you INCLUDE the footman pike head plans when you make the head, or if you just need to have completed the quest to get it. So even though I have the 'stuff', I'm afraid to try it. Has anyone done this quest recently?

    This is anonymous again... I have answered my own question. You must include the pike head plans in the forge when you make the pike head. There appear to be skill checks when forging both items, and both were trivial with a 51 skill in blacksmithing.

    Are these quests designed properly?

    I'm just wondering if they actually made these quests in a logical manner. For example, to forge a pike *head*, you should need the pike head components and the Geozite tool, with failure returning the Geozite tool. I don't want to lose a tool, because the quests to get it are very annoying at best. Also, to forge the actual *pike*, you should have your completed pike head, the other pike components, and your pike *plans*, with failure returning the plans. This way, if you fail either part of the smithing, you still have your hard-earned plans and your hard-earned tool.

    I want to know if this is the way it works before I go fail the smithing and lose something that I can't replace without going through loads of trouble.
    made from skill

    messed up

    i spent all weekend trying to forge this dern thing. when i finally put the pike head, the geozite tool, and the wood into the forge, it told me the items didn't combine in those qty, etc. i was really hacked, so i petitioned, and they told me to submit a bug report. WHATEVER - i'm trying again, but only once more. any hints on this?
    Trying Again

    Lost the pike when I hit combine in the forge. Petitioned on Drizzil Ro server and received replacement pike to try again. Fast, efficient service from the GMs. They also researched the quest. It was temporarily broken but is now fixed. Wahoo away I go again!

    I did this quest exactly how it's listed above. Geozite Tool, Pike Head, Redwood, and plans. I got the those items didnt combine message. I tried this quest before that without using the plans. Failed too. I petitioned to the powers that be on Tallon Zek. In a nutshell they just turned me away saying they are far too busy to deal with a nobody like me. Verant got an email about it. Like they'll get back to me.
