Objectives Edit

Collect 20 Hardened Crocolisk Hides.

•  [Hardened Crocolisk Hide] x20

Description Edit

You'll notice that we're slightly ill prepared for battle.

The tol'vir tribes had never seen any sort of major confrontation for thousands of years.

All the combat protocols that the titans programmed into our ancestors are still there, though. Some are part of our instincts, some get passed on as tradition.

But none of this can compensate for the lack of supplies. We need weapons. We need armor.

The best armor is lined with the skin of the riverbed crocolisks nearby. Help us gather some.

Progress Edit

I'm glad to see you don't think you're above this sort of task.

Completion Edit

Excellent job, <name>. You might not think this adds up to much, but this might very well be the difference between life and death to one of our soldiers.

Rewards Edit

You will receive:

• 8 60
• 43900 XP
• 250 reputation with Ramkahen

You will also be able to choose one of the following:

	[Sarcophagus Bracers]		[Cartouche-Inscribed Spaulders]
	[Legplates of Heilopolis]		[Knife the Venomous Asp]

Notes Edit

Pick up Ploughshares to Swords before heading out. Hides drop 2-3 at a time from the Riverbed Crocolisks found along the nearby Vir'naal River^{[57.6, 47.2]}
