This walkthrough follows the “lucky” route (good faction, drops cooperate) and then covers every fallback the file outlines for poor faction or unlucky loot. Use whichever branch fits your situation.
Highpass Hold: find Anson Mcbale (5.26, 325.48, 45.10). If he isn’t up, a “Smuggler” placeholder or DZ versions can be used. Target Anson and /say I need to see Stanos (Requires at least indifferent faction).
→ This spawns Stanos Herkanor (9.48, 336.05, 45.10).
Give Stanos the Translated Parchment. He returns a Sealed Box. :contentReference
Kithicor Forest: go to the Dark Elf camp (803.89, 2300.51, 272.34). At least one Dark Elf must remain alive.
Sneak/hide behind the surviving Dark Elf and hand in the Sealed Box.
→ General V`ghera (798.21, 2315.99, 274.95) spawns and likely attacks with the remaining elf. Kill him and loot a General’s Pouch. If he drops a Cazic Quill, keep it.
Farm Renux Herkanor in Qeynos Rogue guild area; she always drops the Translated Parchment and has a decent dagger chance. Or do the long quest via Vilnius the Small in West Karana:
Fleshripper (Sol B king), Painbringer (Sol B champion), Mithril 2HS (LGuk king), Gigantic Zweihander (Karg Icebear) → trade all four to Vilnius → Jagged Diamond Dagger.
Farm General V`ghera repeatedly (Renux → Parchments → Boxes → General).
OR complete Vilnius’s robe turn-ins (Robe of the Kedge, Ishva, SMR, Oracle) for the quill.
Shadows lengthen behind you, assassin—your Ragebringer gleams with every deed that bought its edge. Wield it well.
