Duration: 15 - 30 minutes
This is the quest where a Warrior must run through a Cave of Trials in Nagnang in order to earn their first shield.
To initiate this quest, you must head to Nagnang and find the Warrior Guild (0029,0057). Click on the Guildmaster, Shield and select Shield. He will ask you to slay a Green Squirrel, which is easy enough to do. Gate to East Gate and head due south. At (0124, 0154) there is a field full of Green Squirrels. Collect their pelt and return. He will tell you that you are ready for the Cave of Trials. Head to the cave at (0010, 0050).
There is a certain strategy required to successfully complete the Nagnang Shield Quest. First, it is crucial that you do not kill ANY of the red and blue animals on your last run. There are seven rooms in total. The rooms are as follows:
Havoc
Maelstrom
Crystal Path
Formations
Jeweled Rows
Objective
There are animals in the first five rooms, and you must reach Objective without killing any red or blue animals on your final run.
1) Make your way to Jeweled Rows, killing whatever is necessary. Once inside that room, stand at the center of the west wall and allow all the animals to flock towards you. After the majority of the animals are against/near the west wall, gateway out and return to the entrance.
2) Repeat the process to Formations. Gate and return.
3) Repeat for Crystal Path, Maelstrom and Havoc.
4) With all the animals waiting against the west wall, your final run should be fairly clear of blockage. Try hard not to stop and keep clear of obstacles. Riding a horse will greatly increase your chances of success. To complete the quest you MUST reach Objective and touch the statue without having killed ANY red or blue animals on your final run.
Once completed you will be returned to the Inn and the Nagnang Shield will be in your inventory.
