Walkthrough

• Enter the Monastic Cavern through G-7 in Davoi, for a cut-scene with Loo Kohor to start the quest. You will be given the option of whether or not to begin the quest; if you choose to not take the quest, you will not be given the chance to start it again until the Conquest Tally on Sunday of the following week.
• Go to Southern San d'Oria, to the Tanners' Guild and talk with Faulpie, the Leathercraft Guildmaster, for a cut-scene. Faulpie will need a Buffalo Hide, Ram Leather, and 10,000 gil to help out.
• Trade the requested items and gil to Faulpie at the same time. Zone and wait until at least the next day (after 0:00 Vana'diel time) to talk to Faulpie again for a cut-scene, at which point you will receive an Orc Cutting, and the recipe of the Orc Helm that requires it. (Note: If you wish to receive another Orc Cutting, you can get more from Faulpie for 100,000 gil each.)
• The Orc Cutting is used in a high skill Leathercraft recipe to craft the level 61 headwear Orc Helm, which is required for the rest of the quest. Neither the Orc Helm nor the Orc Cutting can be sold via the Auction House.
• Return to the Monastic Cavern through G-7 in Davoi while wearing the Orc Helm, for another cut-scene and to receive a key item.
• Go to F-6 in the Monastic Cavern and select the Cryptexphere while wearing the helm. The key item will disappear and 7 angry Orc Notorious Monsters will arrive!

• Orcish Overlord
• Chillgaze Foddrud
• Grimbolt Onkzok
• Rictusgrin Prakpok
• Sevenskewer Krugglug
• Shatterskull Mippdapp
• Siegebreaker Wujroj

• The main Orc NM that needs to be killed here is the Orcish Overlord; once it is killed, the others will disappear. It is possible to Sleep/Lullaby the rest of the Orcs and kill the Overlord, making the fight easier.

• All 7 Orcs will pop from behind the player who selects the Cryptexphere with the Orc Helm, taking initial Hate.
• Around three of the Orcs are resistant to Sleep and lullaby, but none were immune. See talk page.

• Once the Orcish Overlord is defeated, select the Cryptexphere again for a cut-scene.
• Trade the Orc Helm to the Cryptexphere; there will be another cut-scene and that helm will be replaced by Gadzradd's Helm.
• Zone out and back into the Monastic Cavern through G-7 in Davoi, for a cut-scene that ends the quest, and a Gold Beastcoin reward.

　

Notes

The beastman headgear quests consist of An Understanding Overlord?, A Moral Manifest?, A Generous General? and An Affable Adamantking?. You cannot have more than one active. Talk to Faulpie to cancel the quest.

You can do the quest up to the point right after the helm is crafted and return to Faulpie. She will assume you have lost the cutting since it is no longer in your inventory. One of the options she gives you is "I think I've had enough..." If you choose this it will cancel the current quest and let you start another one. This way you can get more than one helm at a time.

You won't be able to take rank tests from Faulpie, in order to go up in rank on Leathercraft while you have this quest active (until recieving the Orc Cutting). Zoning doesn't reset this.

Loo Kohor (Monastic Cavern)

Summary

Yagudo messanger Loo Kohor needs to deliver an important message. However, he cannot proceed, as he is attacked every time he sets foot in Monastic Cavern. Your job is to take the missive and place it where the Overlord is sure to find it.
