Walkthrough

The merchant Linadian is located at -142, -545, 161 in Kelethin, two platforms over from the Scouts of Tunare (Rogue) Guild - alternatively - in West Freeport at loc (56, -299). A certain faction level, presumably with Faydarks Champions, is required for this quest in either case. Dubious is not high enough.

You say, 'Hail, Linadian'

Linadian says, 'Greetings! Please look through my fine wares. I have spent my whole life practicing my skills in tailoring. I do my best to compete with the other local merchants, but I have yet to make a profit. I pray to Tunare that my [banded orc vests] will finally bring me a few extra coins.'

If your faction is insufficient (dubious is not high enough.)

You say, 'What banded orc vests'

Linadian says, 'Your ways are considered vile to Faydark's Champions. Leave before my rage overcomes my restraint.'

If your faction is sufficient:

You say, 'What banded orc vests'

Linadian says, 'Glad you are interested. I can create a leather vest I call a banded orc vest. It will aid you in repelling any disease and offers quite a bit of protection in battle. I will need some materials. For a Deathfist banded orc vest, I require two legionnaire pads worn by the clan Deathfist, one Deathfist slashed belt, and ten gold coins. For a Crushbone banded orc vest, I require two legionnaire pads worn by the Clan Crushbone, one Crushbone belt, and ten gold coins.'

NOTE: On 4/25/20 on green server in West Freeport, the text did not include the silk swatch and I was able to do the hand-in successfully without this. Maybe that's coming in a future patch?? - jhod

NOTE 2: As of 17/09/21 This quest has been fixed (pending update) to require only gold coins for both DF/CB, not the silk swatch, as this was a Luclin change. Also, CB/DF Lego pads will not have distinctive names until Dec2000, so watch out. - Dolalin

Hand Linadian 2 Crushbone Shoulderpads, a Crushbone Belt, and 10 gold pieces - alternatively - 2 Deathfist Shoulderpads, a Deathfist Slashed Belt, and 10 gold pieces.

Linadian says. 'Grand doing business with you. Hold your nose. I can never get rid of the orc stench of the vests. That is why the other merchants do not pay me much for them.'

• Your faction standing with Anti-Mage got better. (1)
• Your faction standing with Kelethin Merchants got better. (5)
• Your faction standing with Faydarks Champions got better. (1)
• Your faction standing with Emerald Warriors got better. (1)

You gain experience!!

• Now if you want to sell it to her: She regarded my Wood Elf Druid amiably, and I have a 116 Charisma. She offered 1p1g4s3c for it.
