DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

You can get the first part at level 8, and the second at level 10. The hobgoblin Carr (located at a tree stump at 46389, 50555) wants to help out his newly adopted people and fears foul play from his kind.

Carr says, "I leave hobgoblins. Me no like hobgoblins! Carr stay here in Mularn now!"

Carr says, "Smyga and Anklebiter [terrible mean] hobgoblin, always on raids. I don't like what they do anymore so I stay here."

Carr says, "Is a frightening time! Scared of the [Hobgoblin Anklebiter]!"

Carr says, "Anklebiter mean Lieutenant to Smyga. Smyga and Anklebiter [planning something awful] they are."

Carr says, "No, am scared of plans Anklebiter may carry out [in Smyga's orders]."

Carr says, "Yes! Can find the Anklebiter in the Hobgoblin Camp. Anklebiter always carry out orders. Bring Smyga's Orders from Anklebiter."

Carr says, "Yes! Kill Anklebiter and bring the orders to me."

Ankelbiter is in the Hobgoblin camp between Mularn and Haggerfel, loc of 39575, 31328. You will need to kill off other hobgoblins to get Anklebiter to spawn. After you kill Anklebiter, you will get Smyga's orders. Take these back to Carr and he will tell you that you must kill Smyga in order to protect the village.

You receive a Smyga's orders from Anklebiter!
Your standing with Clan Smyg has decreased.
Your standing with the Vendo has decreased.
Your standing with the Hidden People has increased.

Defeated Anklebiter and Smyga but only received Xp and money, no helm?
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 18 2002 at 2:28 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) So let me get this straight, the hobgoblins a a bunch of post-evolutionary bugs, are going to succeed where Hibernia and Albion have failed, in conquering Midgard. What are they going to do ugly us to death.
The Trick to This One
# Feb 07 2002 at 5:23 AM Rating: Decent
I believe to the trick to this one is to find Anklebiter is to kill the camp off, but leave Smyga alive. I killed the camp off twice then Anklebiter showed. Then care on with the rest of the Quest as laid out. This one is a bit of a pain until you find the key of killing the camp off a couple of times leaving Smyga alone until you get Anklebiter. As a 11 lvl warrior the helm you get is not to bad. (factor 22, absorb 19, Studded Leather, Mag prop 7 pts piety) Good Hunting.

I killed Smyga several times before and after killing Anklebiter in the first step, only because he was blue to me and I figured I'd get a few xps while I was doing the quest. :)

It didn't affect anything. He seems to pop very quickly, and was right in place when I came back the second time.

I did this with a Level 12 Thane.

Even though this quest is supposed to be for all classes, My 10th lvl Shadowblade cannot wear this helm and I am not even going to bother taking my Spiritmaster on this quest. Earned a few silver and some xp, but it would be nice if this quest gave class-appropriate gear as others do.

Head North on the path from Carr, towards Haggerfell. There is a fort/tower right across the road from Haggerfell, it will be straight ahead as you go North on the road. When you near it, veer to the left, along the base of the hills, and you'll see the Smyga camp (collection of hobgoblins on the hill) kind of West and a little South of the fort/tower.

Just kill hobgoblins until Anklebiter spawns. I killed them all except Smyga, who spawns further up the hill and can be left alone (assuming you're pulling with a spell or such). Anklebiter is a little guy, the one time I saw him & killed him he was green to me (9th level thane) and easy to kill.

I finished the first part of the quest, leveled to 10, then went back to talk to Carr and get the 2nd part of the quest.

Smyga was blue to me at 10th level when I killed him, but previously I'd seen him both yellow and orange to me when I was 9th level. I got lucky, was able to solo the entire quest, but I also helped someone kill Smyga earlier when I was 9th and he was orange to me... he seemed pretty nasty then. ^_^

i am a level 8 beserker! i got the first quest for anklebiter and brought back the orders, but i didn't get anything on Smyga. i went and killed Smyga anyway - he was orange but i can kill him alright. what went wrong? should i wait until i'm level 10 to bring Carr the orders?

you're a berseker so you have to say "duhhhhh" for a few minutes in game (it's a roleplay aspect).
made it at 19

I made both quests at lvl 19 ... is there a way to change the helm to cloth, so a Runemaster can use ? Just like the Bearhide boots ...

I read that 14 is the lv cap. I hit 15 last night. Has anyone tried this post 14?

I still had the quest due as a level 20 healer. Decided to clean up my journal and finished off the Anklebiter quest.

Went back to Carr and immediately got the Symga quest. Received the helm, popped right into the backpack.

So, give it a try.

15 minutes...

Thanks for the loc.

When I arrived I grouped with a guy who needed Smyga (had killed anklebiter). 5 minutes later Anklebiter spawned. Dies. Back to carr - ack, had to kill Smyga too =) 2 more joined us. 4 minutes later or so - Smyga spawned. Dies - and my lvl 10 shaman weared Smysgs Helm.

All in all, it took me 15 minutes. Nice quest - nice award !
precise location
# Nov 24 2001 at 12:26 AM Rating: Decent
The camp is located at: 39575,31328

I found that the other messages here indicating where the camp is were not precise enough to easily find the camp. So, just use the co-ords above and save youself some time.

Easy quest i think (10 thane) i went to carr, right next to a stump at the entrance to mularn and talked to him. He told me to go kill anklebiter, went up the road (right fork on way to haggerfell) and not far on the left i saw some goblins. Started killing them(all gray). It took about 20 min for anklebiter to spawn and in between that time smyga spawned twice and i killed him twice. (Smyga's spawn time is 10 min, anklebiters is 20, i timed it) Once i killed anklebiter (who looked different than i expected, almost like a huldu instead of a hobgoblin i went back to carr. Anklebiter spawned at the bottom of the hill by the pine tree (small one). Went back and took out smyga who spawns top of hill and a little to the left, not far at all from anklebiter. Its not really a camp just a side of a hill. On a good note also if you group when killing either of these granted that you are all above 8 and at the same stage of the quest you all get the letter (from anklebiter) or the helm (from smyga)
Starts at level 8

How do I get this quest from Carr? He doesn't want to talk to me and I don't know whyyyyy!! hehe Anyway, I think I asked at lvl 7 and he would not give the quest.
Quest
# Nov 02 2001 at 10:17 PM Rating: Default
When i did this quest i was lvl 8 thinking i could get the helm, but actually it has 2 parts to the quest. The first part you just return the plans then at lvl 11, you can return to carr and get the second part which includes killing smyg and getting the helm. Hope this helps, also the reward for the first part is just some coin and exp.

I got the quest from Carr to kill anklebiter was lvl 12 shaman , Faceing away from Mularn at Carr I turned right and followed the road, I found the camp just up the road a bit there is a log to the right side of the road just before his camp, I could see a Fortress in the distance also. When arrived no one was camping spawn so I killed Smyga. Smyga was blue to me. Ankklebiter was not there at the time. Since there was no one camping the lower lvl goblens I went ahead and cleared the camp, Anklebiter soon spawned. I completed the quest and got 10 silver pieces no exp. Carr then sent me to kill Smyga, Niether Smyga nor Anklebiter had spawned when returned. The camp was still not being camped by anyone, So i cleared the camp again and then Anklebiter soon spawned, He was green to me, I killed him again and Smyga soon followed, I killed him and got the helm, Is studded AF22 , +5 Piety

Tankee,
Meez hope dat dis iz able ta help sumbody

It is a STUDDED HELM as stated below.
spawn and class
# Oct 31 2001 at 11:24 AM Rating: Default
I did this quest last night and found that Anklebitter spawned in the early morning only...he also seemed to spawn in various spots at the lower end of the camp. Smyga, on the oter hand, spawned all the time. He spawned at the top left corner of the camp. As to the helm being given out-If you cannot wear Studded, you will not recieve the helm. This, I would guess, is so you cannot camp the item for your low level friends, or your other characters.

Good hunting everyone!
Anklebiter & Smyg
# Oct 28 2001 at 9:45 AM Rating: Default
For me, Anklebiter spawned by the two hobgobbo's near the bottom of the camp at exactly 8am, I didn't have to kill a single Hobgoblin for him to spawn. I then later killed Smyg in a group but received no helmet :( perhaps its because im a shadowblade...Hope this helps for all who need to know the Ankle spawn time.
