You'll need to bring to Lork the hearts of Lord Crushbone and the Dark Elf Ambassador who visits the shaman guild in Oggok.

The Dark Elf Ambassador is named Ambassador K`ryn and is located in Komarr's Caves (the tunnels). If you enter the tunnels through the bottom right tunnel, continue through until you reach the Shaman Guildmasters. Go to the right and you'll see about six Ogre merchants who sell Shaman spells. In that room there is another tunnel which will bring you to a room with about five different passages. In one of those passages waits the Dark Elf Ambassador. Kill him and loot his Black Heart. He also often drops a Dragoon Dirk. Beware faction here... for killing K`ryn, you lose faction with Indigo Brotherhood (but gain with Emerald Warriors and Steel Warriors).

Ambassador D`Vinn's corpse says 'Start digging your grave. The Indigo Brotherhood shall find you.'

Your faction standing with Emerald Warriors has been adjusted by 11.
Your faction standing with Steel Warriors has been adjusted by 3.
Your faction standing with Primordial Malice has been adjusted by 150.

Lork says 'This one dead. Where other? Lork say Crushbone heart and Oggok heart.'

Lork says 'That show dark elves who strongest. Me hope you kill many blue orcs. You Craknek Hero now. You take this. It mine. Hero reward. You great ogre now. Smash best.'

Your faction standing with Craknek Warriors has been adjusted by 25.
Your faction standing with Clurg has been adjusted by 3.
Your faction standing with Green Blood Knights has been adjusted by -3.

The reward varies and is often bad (patchwork armor, for example). You'll rarely get a Crude Stein or a Gatorsmash Maul.

I did it thrice
# Jul 15 2003 at 4:14 PM Rating: Decent
to make sure. Every time just the heart part. I got the Maul all three times (before flaming starts I know it's lore I destroyed it once before handing a new pair of hearts & gave it to some young ogres twice -- I didn't really need Maul). Don't think it's luck I'm not the luckiest person in EQ.

Very enlightening. What merchant? That info would be helpful. And maybe it was one someone happened to sell to the merchant?
kill bouncer hurd
# Jun 12 2002 at 12:49 PM Rating: Decent
a lil note you can git the crude stein by killing bouncer hurd instead of doing the quest. i have killed him many times with my 48 druid i still git xp and sometimes he drops the stein. i must caution you he is very magic resistant,but he can still be killed. i pop in everynow and then to blow him up for fun. the stein is not dropped every time but drops frequently. hope i have helped anyone get the stein the easy way.

Only the hearts
# Mar 24 2002 at 2:11 PM Rating: Default
Just turned in the 2 hearts without having done anything else (and without having the Crude Stein) and i got the Gatorsmash Maul.

Guess i was very lucky, but it shows that is can be done.
Crude Stein and other Classes
# Mar 21 2002 at 8:38 AM Rating: Default
Just FYI for all of you out there that think this item is JUST for enchanters. This is an amazing item for all classes. Me being a druid and a master of all tradeskills except jewelcraft (which I will be mastering for the Shawl Quest), I wish I would have had this item since I started all my trade skills. 15 Cha is nothing to shirk at, especially if it will put you past the limit break. Just remember: the higher your cha is the lower you buy stuff for and the higher you sell stuff for. I found a master jeweler today and had him make me 48 cha worth of items and then I remembered this item. DOLT!!!! Oh well, live and learn. :)

Only stein part
# Feb 19 2002 at 11:04 PM Rating: Default
Can you kill the runner and turn in the letter if all you're interested in is the stein? Or do you have to do the part with the arm and broken stein first?
Stupid!
# Feb 07 2002 at 5:47 PM Rating: Default
Why do the crude stein part? The only class who realy needes it id an enchanter, and they shouldn't TRY to ruin indago brotherhood faction. Of course, you can regain faction in obvious ways, so you CAN, but it just takes more work.
from experiance, if you worship brell, you will still be dubious no matter HOW bad faction is

A little advice for fellow Enchanters
The other guy
# Nov 30 2001 at 9:27 PM Rating: Decent
Umm... trying to find Krynn or whatever.. the other DE in ogguk... there's an empty room in the chambers and I'm guessing that's where he spawns. Anyone have an idea of his spawn time/table? They dont like me much there unless I'm invis and a wolf, so hanging around there isn't exactly something I want to do. Second thing, do you need a specific faction to get the GSM? or will indiffernt work?
Thank you kindly.

-Can a Human Pally lv 27 do this quest?
RE: Question
# Dec 04 2001 at 12:58 AM Rating: Default
Very doubtful -- seeing that Lork is an ogre and you would be KOS to him. I would say get a good group together and kill a bouncer or two. To be safe, you might want to get a few more levels.
Dark Elf KoS?

Hello all of you guys out there... If you are a Dark Elf does D'Vinn Kill you on sight? Or do the orcs Kil you on sight even?

orc runner

he spawns in BB at zone to GFAY between 6-11am gameday once per day :0)
Poor dumb orc runner...
# Jun 15 2001 at 8:49 PM Rating: Default
that's because he always has the unfortunate lack of brains which all orcs possess...he can't turn up a good brawl...even when he should know he's going to spend the last few seconds of his life running the opposite direction from me and my pigsticker.
