Walkthrough

• Talk to Sharzalion at the bar in the Lion Springs Tavern. He wants some Orcish Dry Food.
• To get this food, you need to get a Davoi Storage Key to open the Storage Hole which spawns randomly about Davoi.
  • You need to start this quest while being a Red Mage. It is not necessary to be on Red Mage for the NM to spawn. You only need to have the quest flagged.
• Enter Davoi from Jugner Forest and defeat Purpleflash Brukdok around the western half of (E-9<span style="position:absolute; left:34px; top:px; z-index:15; width:32px; height:32px; background:

2. 5555FF; opacity:0.5;">) to obtain a Davoi Storage Key.

• • Purpleflash Brukdok spawns around the western half of (E-9<span style="position:absolute; left:34px; top:px; z-index:15; width:32px; height:32px; background:

1. 5555FF; opacity:0.5;">) / (F-9<span style="position:absolute; left:34px; top:px; z-index:15; width:32px; height:32px; background:
2. 5555FF; opacity:0.5;">) when you enter the zone with the RDM AF weapon started. Get down to the river at (I-8<span style="position:absolute; left:34px; top:px; z-index:15; width:32px; height:32px; background:
3. 5555FF; opacity:0.5;">) or (J-10<span style="position:absolute; left:34px; top:px; z-index:15; width:32px; height:32px; background:
4. 5555FF; opacity:0.5;">) and follow it west to (D-8<span style="position:absolute; left:34px; top:px; z-index:15; width:32px; height:32px; background:
5. 5555FF; opacity:0.5;">).

• • There are a few orcs on the way that aggro even at 75.
  • Additionally, all nearby orcs link when fighting the NM.

Storage Hole

• The Storage Hole spawns randomly around Davoi, so hunt around until you find it. There are patterns on the ground which identify potential spawn positions. The patterns look like someone stretched animal skins over a hole in the ground, except that they are the same colors as the ground (see image). Trade the Davoi Storage Key to it to receive the Orcish Dry Food. The location changes each game day. May respawn in the same spot after the Davoi Storage Key is used.

  Some Storage Hole Locations

  • Some known locations of the Storage Hole are at (E-10), (F-6), (F-7), (F-9), (G-9), (G-10),(I-7), (I-8), (J-7), (K-7), (K-8), (K-9),(K-10), and another at (J-8). There are other locations it can spawn in, anywhere on the map.
  • The Storage Hole at (H-8) can be reached from the river below. Running through Monastic Cavern is not necessary.
• Once you have obtained the Orcish Dry Food, return to Sharzalion to receive your Fencing Degen .
