Dialog from quest:
Speak with Caradan at loc=22955,25588,19228 dir=184Abandoned Mines.

Caradan says, "Salutations, Friar. I am Caradan and I am new to these parts, but I am not new to the job I [was hired] to do."

Caradan says, "I am a member of a group of men and women who enjoy working for profit. That is why I came down here, because I heard that these Inconnu were looking for some help [clearing out] these mines."

Caradan says, "These mines are infested with gnolls. Nasty creatures! They pester the Inconnu while they are trying to work and they had the audacity to harass me once or twice. It was quite rude of them, I must say. I gave them a lesson in manners which they didn't seem to survive...oh well. They were expendable while I am not. As I said, they [harass] people here in the mines."

Caradan says, "The Inconnu want to be rid of these creatures, so they hired me to help clear them out. I was quite flummoxed when I learned there were more than I could handle. That's when I decided to go [into business] for myself."

Caradan says, "The Inconnu pay me a specific amount for each grayfur gnoll pelt I bring them and they only deal with me for these pelts. Now, if anyone brings me a pelt, I pay them two-thirds of what the Inconnu pay me and keep a third for myself and everyone profits. If you're interested, I will make [this deal] with you."

Do you want to make a deal with Caradan in regards to the gnoll pelts? [Levels 23-25]
You have been given the Good Gnoll Hunting quest.


[Step #1] Speak with Caradan to learn what kind of gnoll pelts you need to collect.

Caradan says, "I knew you'd find the deal quite sweet. Now, listen carefully, because they Inconnu are only taking [certain kinds] of pelts right now."

Caradan says, "The Inconnu would like the pelts of grayfur ruffians and grayfur clanites. Why they are fixated on them I don't know, but that's what they want. You can get them in any order, just get one of each and bring them back to me. I guess you need to know where [to find them]."

Caradan says, "You will need to head to the northern end of West Track Three. From there, take the tunnel that runs north - not West Track Four. Where the tunnels split, take the western tunnel. I'll warn you, there are patrols that roam those tunnels, so be careful. I want pelts, not your death, so you might want to get a friend to help you. I'll reward your friend too, if they want to help me."

[Step #2] Get the pelt of a grayfur ruffian or clanite. To reach the grayfoot gnolls, travel to the northern end of West Track Three, then head north. At the fork in the tunnel, head west. Watch for patrols!
  • Grayfur ruffians roam around loc=9815,33560,17629 dir=36 Abandoned Mines.


  • [Step #3] Get the pelt of a grayfur clanite. To reach the grayfoot gnolls, travel to the northern end of West Track Three, then head north. At the fork in the tunnel, head west. Watch for patrols!
  • I found a grayfur clanite near loc=10240,30678,17633 dir=342 Abandoned Mines, careful though there are quite a few orange con'd mobs in the area, orange con'd to a lvl 23 anyways.


  • [Step #4] Return to Caradan in West Track One in the Abandoned Mines.

    Caradan says, "Well, Friar, were you able to find any gnoll pelts? Why don't you pass me the Ruffian Gnoll Pelt first?"

    [Step #4] Give Caradan the Ruffian Gnoll Pelt.

    Caradan says, "Hm, I've seen better pelts on a spraggon. Do you have the Clanite Gnoll Pelt?"

    [Step #4] Give Caradan the Clanite Gnoll Pelt.

    Caradan says, "Now this is a fine specimen of gnoll pelt! Here is the reward I promised you, Friar. Two thirds of the money I will receive from the Inconnu when I deliver these. Fear not, I would never cheat a business partner! "


    You are awarded 1,500,000 experience!
    You are awarded 24 silver and some copper!
    You have completed the Good Gnoll Hunting quest!

    I'm not sure if something has changed, but I just
    did this quest with my lv 23 enchanter on Gaheris,
    and if you follow the instructions you'd be pushing
    up daisies, since there was two grape mobs hanging
    out in that stretch on the north end of track 3.
    What i found instead is look near the south end
    of track 3 on your map, there is another entrance
    into that same complex the gnolls are in. I was
    able to just wait there and both a ruffian and
    Bruiser would wander by. I was able to pull and
    fight off to the side no problem.

    Oh that was the other difference, I saw no mention
    of a 'clanite', it was ruffian and bruiser.
