You say, 'Hail, Garadain Glacierbane'

Referenced records: Garadain Glacierbane

Garadain Glacierbane says 'Hrmff, what's this? A spy sent from the giant heathens, or the selfrighteous wurms perhaps? Either way, you'd be no [friend] of the great Coldain.'

You say, 'I am a friend.'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'A friend, you say? That remains to be seen. Much more to being a friend of the Coldain than just sayin' so. Anyway, I'm too [tired] to argue about it. I haven't slept in days.'

You say, 'Why are you tired?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'Did I say tired? Exhausted is more like it. Ever since that blizzard last week I haven't slept a wink. I came back from huntin' snow orcs to find that my [blanket] had blown away and now I'm just too tired to rustle up a new one.'

You say, 'What blanket?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'Not just any old blanket, mind ye, mine was made of the finest tundra kodiak hides and snow panther skins, two of each. When I was wrapped up in it ya couldn't see me a bit, no, I blended right into the snow, I did. Say, if you be a friend, here's yer chance to prove it. Sew me up a new blanket so I can get some rest.'

Step 1

You must now hunt animals in Eastern Wastes for their hides.

• Broken Axe

Referenced records: Broken Axe

At the end of the previous quest, Garadain mentioned his nephew.

You say, 'What nephew?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'My nephew, Boridain, keeps running away from home to kill a bothersome [beast], thinking this will prove to all of Thurgadin that he is a great hunter. Every time he does this my sister gets hysterical and I am sent out to find him.'

You say, 'What beast?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'A rabid tundra kodiak has been feeding on our people for weeks now. If Boridain ever stumbled across the critter I doubt he'd stand a chance. I have a solution, but it would require the [assistance] of an outsider.'

You say, 'I will give assistance.'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'I'm taking a liking to you stranger. Your eagerness to help us will not go unnoticed. Find my nephew and give him this axe. It should keep him from hurting himself. Return to me with the ring and proof that he is safe.'

Step 1

You receive a Dull Bladed Axe. Take it to his nephew, Boridain Glacierbane, who spawns at -2450, +1550.

Referenced records: Dull Bladed Axe · Boridain Glacierbane

You say, 'Hail, Boridain Glacierbane'

Boridain Glacierbane says 'Hello stranger, I am Boridain, master hunter of the Coldain. Glad to meet you.'

Step 2

Give Boridain Glacierbane the Dull Bladed Axe.

Referenced records: Boridain Glacierbane · Dull Bladed Axe

Boridain Glacierbane says 'Say! This looks just like the axe my uncle uses. With this I can kill the beast for sure! Now please, be very quiet, I must track my prey. I won't return to Thurgadin without the hide of the rabid tundra kodiak!'

You must now follow Boridain Glacierbane around and keep him alive while he hunts for the Rabid Tundra Kodiak. He will go to certain dangerous locations such as the giant fort, the prison camp, and the Ry'gorr fort, before finally encountering the Rabid Tundra Kodiak. You must protect him from any aggressive monsters en route, as well as from any static spawns he finds in these locations. This event has a fair bit of intricacies so see Boridain Glacierbane Escort Guide for more info.

Referenced records: Boridain Glacierbane · Rabid Tundra Kodiak · Boridain Glacierbane Escort Guide

Step 3

Make sure you are the one to kill the Rabid Tundra Kodiak and not Boridain Glacierbane, or the corpse will disappear. Once you have killed the Rabid Tundra Kodiak, loot the Rabid Kodiak Skin and quickly give it to Boridain Glacierbane (he despawns within a minute or so).

Referenced records: Rabid Tundra Kodiak · Boridain Glacierbane · Rabid Kodiak Skin

If you are not able to kill the kodiak quickly enough (which is likely if you are solo), then make sure that you at least kill the kodiak and loot the skin. When Boridian respawns (3 hours later), you can give him another Dull Bladed Axe. Once he starts walking, immediately give him the Rabid Kodiak Skin to receive the reward.

He will give you a Broken Axe, which you then turn in to his uncle Garadain Glacierbane along with your Copper Coldain Insignia Ring as proof of having aided his nephew to receive your Silver Coldain Insignia Ring.

Referenced records: Broken Axe · Garadain Glacierbane · Copper Coldain Insignia Ring · Silver Coldain Insignia Ring

Garadain Glacierbane says 'Well done friend! My nephew is safe at home and his thirst for adventure is quenched for now. The beast will claim no more of our people. I couldn't have handled it better myself. Now I can get back to the business of [hunting].'

At the end of the previous quest, Garadain mentioned hunting.

You say, 'What hunting?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'My camp here boasts the most proficient hunters in the recorded history of the mighty Coldain empire. We alone could feed an entire clan. Things have been frustratingly [slow] lately, though.'

You say, 'How slow?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'After years of skinning the hides of the giantmen, my hunting knife has lost its edge. The dull blade has slowed me down considerably. It has served me well, but a new [knife] would make me a much more proficient hunter.'

You say, 'What knife?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'Hunt a wooly rhino and take his tusk, then take a flawless hide from a walrus. Combine them in a forge with a skinning rock and bring me the new knife and the silver insignia ring.'

Step 1

You must now gather 3 items in the zone.

• The Skinning Rock are a random ground spawn throughout the zone.

Referenced records: Garadain Glacierbane

Step 1 (Optional)

You say, 'What smithing hammer?'

Garadain Glacierbane says '[Tain] Hammerfrost can get you one. Find him and give him this.'

You receive a Note to Tain.

Referenced records: Note to Tain

You say, 'Who is Tain?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'Tain left a short time ago, he said he had a score to settle with a particular Kromriff.'

Step 2

Tain Hammerfrost is a wounded dwarf lying on the ground at -4950, -2650, a bit west of the bridge to Iceclad Ocean. Giving him the Note to Tain doesn't do much, so try hailing him.

Referenced records: Tain Hammerfrost · Note to Tain

You say, 'Hail, Tain Hammerfrost'

Tain Hammerfrost says 'The bloody Kromrif ambushed me! I escaped, but I am near death. They'll be tracking me down to finish me off at any moment. Without [help], I'm as good as dead.'

You say, 'I will help.'

Tain Hammerfrost says 'Thank Brell! I hear them approaching from just over that hill! Slay the leader, Ghrek, and give me his elixir.'

Step 3

Three frost giants and a named leader, Ghrek Squatnot, spawn on a hill a bit east of Tain's location. They will kill Tain (forcing you to wait for him to respawn), so your best bet is to intercept them and draw aggro before they can reach him. Kill Ghrek and loot the Frozen Elixir from his corpse. Give the Frozen Elixir to Tain Hammerfrost. (Note: if Tain was killed by the giants and you are turning the Elixir in to a Respawned version, be sure to say 'I will help.' again BEFORE handing him the vial to prevent him from eating it.)

You say, 'What plans?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'The bloody Ry'Gorr, friends of the frost giants, plan to raid our encampment. Their captain, Scarbrow Ga'hruk is leading the raid. I need someone to intercept his [orders] so we may prepare for the attack. Without them we could be in serious trouble.'

You say, 'What orders?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'Find the Ry'Gorr messenger and cut him down. Bring the message he carries to my lookout. When the attack is thwarted, return to me with the head of Scarbrow and the platinum insignia ring.'

Step 1

The Ry'Gorr Messenger generally makes a beeline from the north toward the Ry'Gorr fort. Kill him and loot Ry'Gorr Invasion Plans.

Referenced records: Ry'Gorr Messenger · Ry'Gorr Invasion Plans

Step 2

Give the Ry'Gorr Invasion Plans to a coldain lookout near Garadain Glacierbane's hut. This will start the orc invasion so be ready!

Orc Invasion Information

Mobs that spawn

• Scarbrow Ga`Hruk and a band of orcs spawn about 100 feet away and proceed to attack Garadain Glacierbane's outpost.

Referenced records: Scarbrow Ga`Hruk · Garadain Glacierbane

• The attacking force consists of Scarbrow Ga`Hruk 45+ Orc Shadow Knight.

Referenced records: Scarbrow Ga`Hruk

• 2-3 a Ry`Gorr invader (level 43-46).

Referenced records: a Ry`Gorr invader

• 2-3 a Ry`Gorr oracle (level 42-44).

Referenced records: a Ry`Gorr oracle

Strategy

• The Orcs spawn south west of the camp.

• If you engage them as soon as they spawn they won't attack the dwarves.

• Without your assistance the orcs will probably wipe out the dwarves.

• DO NOT allow the dwarves to engage Scarbrow Ga`Hruk, his corpse will disappear if one of them gets the kill shot.

Referenced records: Scarbrow Ga`Hruk

• The trick is to intercept Scarbrow Ga`Hruk while he is still some distance away from the huts and let the dwarves and the rest of the rygorr battle it out amongst themselves.

Referenced records: Scarbrow Ga`Hruk

• You may also want to keep an eye on Garadain Glacierbane, as it can take a while (30 minutes or so) for him to respawn if he is killed, he is need to finish the quest.

At the end of the previous quest, Garadain mentioned a favor.

You say, 'What favor?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'For several seasons there has been an unsolved mystery in this land. Not far from here an elite team of Coldain and their trained wolves were gathered to make a strike at the Kromrif. No one knows just what became of our strike force. Bring me proof of their fate and proof that whoever was responsible for their loss is no more.'

Step 1

Warning: Make sure to clear the orc camp near the Iceclad bridge before starting the quest. This will prevent 5+ extra adds during the Poxbreath fight. (The orcs can be harmonied, and with a 6:40 respawn time having them clear when you arrive with Icefang would require a 2nd team to do the clearing, so take this with a grain of salt.) A level 60 was able to pull Poxbreath out of the pile using a ranged attack with only two additional orcs coming, for a total of 3, even with a full spawn at the camp, so clearing the camp might not be required.

To find proof of their fate, your journey begins with Korrigain, located in the southwestern corner of the zone. He generally spawns around 9 p.m. game time at the dwarven hut near Icefang, the named dire wolf.

Referenced records: Korrigain · Icefang

You say, 'Hail, Korrigain'

Korrigain says 'Who dares disturb my rest? If ye be a friend of the mighty Coldain, then show me proof and I shall tell you of my plight. If not, then be on your way.'

Give him your Obsidian Coldain Insignia Ring (he will return it). Be prepared to follow Icefang at running speed.

Referenced records: Obsidian Coldain Insignia Ring · Icefang

Korrigain says 'Many seasons ago I stood here in life with my comrades, the best warriors Thurgadin had to offer. Along with our faithful wolven army we were poised to eliminate the Kromrif presence in the region. Somehow, the enemy was made aware of our plans and just before our attack, a group of Ry'Gorr oracles charmed our wolves, forcing them to tear down their own masters. We were caught by surprise and died a savage death.'

During the conversation with Korrigain, Icefang comes out of his hut and stands next to Korrigain, who then proceeds to buff his loyal doggie sidekick.

Referenced records: Korrigain · Icefang

Korrigain says 'All that remains from that battle is my loyal Icefang. He will not rest until I am avenged. Follow and watch after him. He alone knows where our attackers lie and he cannot overcome them by himself. May Brell bless you with success, farewell.'

Step 2

Commander Yellowfang, Your handling of the Coldain elite guard was outstanding. It will take the

stumpymen many years to recover from that slaughter. My superiors are well pleased.

Your loyalty and service to the Kromrif have sealed an alliance between our peoples that we shall

honor from this day forward. The bulk of this treasure is for you to distribute among your men as

you see fit. We ask that you provide well for your coldain informant, Rodrick Kotrad, as your

success would have been impossible without his cooperation.

At the end of the 6th quest, Garadain Glacierbane mentioned a delicate [mission].

Referenced records: Garadain Glacierbane

You say, 'What mission?'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'A Coldain... A very important Coldain, has been abducted by the Ry'gorr. He was gathering information that is imperative to our victory over the brainless heathens. You must find him before he is killed and escort him to safety. Return to me with proof that Corbin Blackwell is safe.'

Step 1

First you must Kill Warden Bruke for his Shackle Key (no drop) and then you must find and rescue Corbin Blackwell.

Referenced records: Warden Bruke · Shackle Key · Corbin Blackwell

Warden Bruke can spawn in the east most building in the camp where Corbin Blackwell is located - keep killing the lone Kromrif Prison Guard until he spawns. He is immune to magic and spawns 3 frost giant warrior guards when engaged. The guards are buggy and sometimes just follow Bruke without attacking you. If you kill Bruke they will guard his corpse until it rots.

Referenced records: Warden Bruke · Corbin Blackwell

You say, 'Hail, Corbin Blackwell'

Corbin Blackwell says 'Hurry! There's not much time. give me the key and show me proof that you are a friend sent to rescue me...'

Step 2

Give both the Shackle Key and your Mithril Coldain Insignia Ring to Corbin Blackwell(he will give back the ring). He will then make his escape. You must protect Corbin until he reaches Dobbin Crossaxe. (Ulthorks and walrus do not agro him while he walks east of the pit.)

If you wish to make this section easy on yourself, pacify the giants, orcs, and Corbin himself before turning in. Calm is sufficient.

Step 3

Along the way, four Ry`Gorr Bashers and four Frost Giant Warriors including Commander Bahreck, a named giant, will attack Corbin at the same time.

Referenced records: Commander Bahreck

When Corbin Blackwell reaches (-551, -1890) he will be ambushed.

Corbin Blackwell says 'I thought I was a dwarfskin rug there for a minute! Thank Brell for your help stranger! Now cover me while I make good my escape. I am weakened and cannot endure much more.'

Corbin Blackwell says 'Almost there now, just a bit further...'

Corbin Blackwell says 'Uh oh, looks like they were tipped off somehow... I hope you can handle them.'

Corbin Blackwell says 'I'll hack at your knees 'til you fall down! Out of love for the Dain, for the glory of the crown!'

You must keep him alive.

The easiest way to complete the ambush part is to position yourself slightly in front of Corbin at the ambush point then sit down and use sit aggro to grab the entire ambush. You will have to sit twice to grab both groups, then you can kite the giants to the huts and do circles while the dwarves aggro on the kite and take them down one by one. If you're a level 60 Druid, Entrapping Roots is extraordinarily helpful here; you should have ample time to root both groups.

Dobbin Crossaxe says 'We thought it was too late, the Dain will be very pleased!'

Step 4

IMPORTANT: Before Dobbin Crossaxe usually has a Light Red colored beard. You Must wait until he respawns with a BLACK colored beard before turning in or you will LOSE your Ring and have to start the entire quest over!!!

Give Dobbin Crossaxe your Mithril Coldain Insignia Ring in exchange for a note to Garadain.

The version of Dobbin you have to give the ring to has a dark gray/black beard. At some point he will despawn and a red-bearded version will appear. Giving the ring to the red-bearded version will result in losing your ring. It is possible for both versions to appear at once. If that happens you can still complete the quest, just be very careful to make sure you click the correct one, as they will be on top of each other.

The Ring 8 war is triggered when you turn in your Marching Orders to Gloradin Coldheart

Referenced records: Marching Orders · Gloradin Coldheart

THIS PART IS IMPORTANT

Rights to do the ring 8 is determined by winning this daily /random 1000 roll.

See the Ring 8 Server Roll for the current Ring 8 Server Roll times.

This is the 8th quest in Garadain's series. It involves an all-out war against Chief Ry'Gorr and his troops.

This quest is challenging, and you only get ONE chance to complete it successfully. Once you hand your ring to Garadain, you must give the Marching Orders to Lady Gloradin (who has a 24-hour respawn timer). The siege on the orc fort will begin immediately afterward. Your goal is to kill Chief Ry`Gorr, loot his head, and deliver it to Garadain. It's crucial to keep Garadain alive, as he only accepts the head during the event—and only after he shouts "CHARGE!" Note that Chief Ry'Gorr will only drop his head during this specific event.

Referenced records: Chief Ry`Gorr

The preferred strategy is as follows: You’ll need a group of 2-6 players, levels 55-60, to handle this event comfortably. Before handing in the Marching Orders, have your party members cast invisibility and enter the Ry'Gorr fort. After entering through the main entrance, turn right and proceed to a relatively open, safe area away from enemy mobs. **Ensure Garadain is alive** before you hand in the Marching Orders to Gloradin Coldheart.

Referenced records: Gloradin Coldheart

Once the Marching Orders are handed in, the event starts, and there is no way to stop it. Failing here means you must begin the Coldain Ring quest series from the very first ring! Garadain Glacierbane will begin marching towards the Ry'Gorr fort, accompanied by a small dwarven army. After you’ve handed in the orders, invis up and join your group inside the fort. Your objective is to kill the special version of Chief Ry`Gorr that spawns, loot his head, and hand it in to Garadain AFTER he shouts "CHARGE!" but BEFORE the dwarves storm the fort.

Referenced records: Garadain Glacierbane · Chief Ry`Gorr

A minute or two after you hand in the Marching Orders, the special version of Chief Ry'Gorr spawns near the fort's entrance, accompanied by several giant guards and orc allies. At this point, pull the Chief and kill him as quickly as possible. You can use Lull/Harmony to avoid pulling the giants, but the Oracle standing next to the Chief will aggro regardless. However, the Oracle can be pacified. The Chief, his pet Firbrand, and possibly the Oracle will come when you aggro the Chief. Focus on killing him quickly and loot his head. The Chief isn’t particularly resistant to spells, can be slowed, and has relatively few hit points. A group of 2 or 3 level 60 players, with at least one healer and one DPS, can handle this easily.

Once you have the Chief's head, invis up and exit the fort through the main entrance, heading north. You’ll find Garadain and a small army of dwarf archers and soldiers overlooking the Ry'Gorr fort. If you’ve been quick, you’ll arrive while Garadain is giving his pep talk to the troops. DO NOT hand him the Chief’s head at this point. If you do, you’ll lose the head and fail the quest. Wait until Garadain finishes speaking and begins marching toward the fort. When he shouts "CHARGE," that’s your signal to hand in the head. There’s no need to worry about him despawning or resetting—the "CHARGE" shout is your green light. Once you hand in the head, you will receive the 8th ring.

This method allows you to avoid participating in the large battle that follows. If Garadain reaches the fort and engages in combat, he could die, which would result in failure. By completing the hand-in before the battle begins, you can avoid this risk entirely.

You say, 'I am ready.'

Garadain Glacierbane says 'Very Well, , give me the Adamantite ring and I will give you the marching orders. Once the orders are given to Gloradin in the next hut, we will be underway. You then must follow me to what will be our battleground. I must warn you, I will hold your ring until the head of Chief Ry'Gorr is given to me. If we fail, all will be lost... for both of us.

Referenced records: Murdrick Tardok

(not needed you can just go in and pull/kill him without waiting on text) Invis yourself and stand next to Murdrick. This will trigger a dialogue script between him and another Coldain. Listen to entire dialogue. If you attack him before he finishes the dialogue, he'll despawn. Also, if you wait too long after the dialog before aggroing him (eg, while clearing the rest of the room), he'll despawn. The dialog ends with: "Gerton Dumkin says 'Consider it done. Be sure to watch yourself Murd, the Dain's gotta be suspicious of ya, being Rodrick's brother and all. And those outlander friends of his are dangerous, chopped down the Ry'Gorr chief like he was nothin!'"

Once attacked, Murdrick calls for help from all the mobs in the room (harmony/lull spells will not get around this if you pull Murdrick, but it is effective on the others - you can clear the room before pulling Murdrick).

None of the dwarves have any faction hits. All of them should be duoable with a melee and a healer (assuming the healer can harmony or lull).

The two clerics are Lapker Geynion and Laima Ratgur. The other mobs are Davin Fatfist, Gerton Dumkin, Herga Ratgur, Fomgrut Borkel.

Referenced records: Lapker Geynion · Laima Ratgur · Davin Fatfist · Gerton Dumkin · Herga Ratgur · Fomgrut Borkel

You need to leave up Lapker, Davin, Gerton, and Murdrick in order for the conversation to happen, so don't do all of the harmony clearing before triggering the conversation.

A common tactic is to have someone kite away all of the dwarves except for Murdrick and then have someone else tag then kill Murdrick solo. The trainer must stay in the zone with aggro on the mobs otherwise Murdrick will despawn immediately.

Three Kromrif Elite giants spawn inside the hut and will attack you immediately. They're fully immune to spells, summon, see invis, and are 51+. If left undamaged, they can be kited by a player with sow speed, though they are faster than normal run speed.

Peffin will be standing right in front of the fire outside at the bottom of the hill. This instance of Peffin will be permarooted but won't summon. She is also capable of throwing javelins at you for minor damage once aggroed. She has five permarooted, summoning Kromrif Elite giant guards. If the Elites are left undamaged, they won't summon. It's possible to destroy Peffin with ranged attacks and spells without engaging her guards. Medium and small races may be able to carefully approach and attack Peffin without getting hit by the guards.

Ironically enough, Giant-factioned characters with ranged attack abilities can kill Peffin and not aggro the giants. Getting into Melee range is not advised.

Confirmed on Feb 25 2026: You can melee Peffin with a Kael factionned char w/o drawing aggro

Note: Be careful with damage shields! If you step into melee range of the permarooted guards for too long and do damage to them with DS, they will start summoning you and you will have a very bad day unless you brought a large-ish kill force. There are static and pathing giants that do not always despawn near the fire outside suggest clearing them prior to turn in.

Kill Peffin and loot her head along with a Letter to Doldigun. She also drops the valuable Talisen, Bow of the Trailblazer.

One option is to use Divine Aura or a similar invulnerability spell, or a shrink potion to allow yourself to get close enough to get the job done.

Immediately after obtaining your Coldain Hero's Insignia Ring, give your newly cleansed dagger to Dain (he will give it back) and say 'You can count on my help.' for the following Dialogue:

Upon giving Dain the dagger he will give it back and say, "My good _______, you have served me well. You have flushed out all who sought to oppose me and my people. I am afraid I need to call upon you and your friends on final time. The dissension and treason ran deeper than I had anticipated. Our population has been cleansed, but we lost a full third of our army to the poisonous words of those rebels. In retaliation for your deeds, the Kromrif have made plans to attack us in this, our weakest hour. Can I count on your help, outlander?"

You say, 'You can count on my help.'

Dain Frostreaver IV says 'Several of our greatest officers, including a few veterans from the war on Yesterwinter are assembling just outside our city. Gather your army at once and give this parchment and the ninth ring to Sentry Badian. I will remain inside the city with a few of my troops to defend it against any who might penetrate your defense. May Brell be with you, ______.'

He hands you a Declaration of War.

IMPORTANT NOTE AND CHANGE: You MUST say the phrase AFTER Dain says, "Can I count on your help, outlander?" However, your dagger hand-in can be sniped by someone saying the phrase right after you've handed it in (this also allows someone who has "lost" their dagger to still receive the orders). The good news is that you can try again since you get the dagger back; simply hand it back to get Dain to repeat the phrase. Note that you will have a little less than 1 minute to complete this with the new Dain race rules effective 3/31/22.

DO NOT HAND DAIN YOUR RING 9!! AT NO POINT IS RING 9 EVER HANDED TO DAIN!!
