War Against the Hive Quest/Spoiler

Equipment

 * Rope or equivalent items or spells

Orockle is trying to fight against the destructive Hive Born. You can do the following missions for him; there is no particular order. Each missions counts as an "action" against the Hive Born. Enough actions will result in increasing the stage of The Hive, which introduces access to more areas.

Orockle will give you the items you need, but if you lose them you can buy them from him for 150-200 gp per item. You can quit an active mission and restart it again later without losing any progress. You may only quit a mission every 30 minutes.

First Stage
The first stage missions are to blind the hive (Antenna Blinding), disrupt its digestion (Disrupt The Hives Digestion), gather acid (Dissolved Chitin), or disable swarm pores (Pore Stuffing).

Mission: Antenna Blinding
Orockle will give you a Strange Powder. Travel around the east side of the Hive and use the powder on any of the antennae to disrupt their communications.



You must use the powder on 8 different antennae.

Mission: Disrupt The Hives Digestion
Orockle will give you a Blob Bomb. Travel to the far eastern side of the Hive and in a small hive pyramid go down 2 floors



and use the Blob Bomb (like a rune, on target) on 7 Floor Blobs.

Mission: Dissolved Chitin
Orockle will give you 8 Flask of Chitin Dissolver and a Swarmer Drum. You must kill 8 Crawlers (try one at a time) or find their recently died corpses and use one of these flasks on them to dissolve their chitin (what insect shells are made of). Using up the flask you will get a Flask of Dissolved Chitin

The next step is to use the Swarmer Drum while you are on the ground floor of the northern Hive side. This will summon a Swarmer Hatchling which you should then feed the Flask of Dissolved Chitin to. Immediately the Hatchling will travel to Orockle who will collect acid from it. Re-use time of the drum is 30 seconds.

Return to Orockle after feeding 8 Hatchlings.

Mission: Pore Stuffing
Orockle will give you a Gooey Substance. Travel to the east side of the Hive area and use the Gooey Substance on 7 Hive Pores. They summon three Lesser Swarmers from time to time so beware of being blocked.



After using Gooey Substance, Lesser Swarmers die and pore changes to Overgrown Hive Pore for 60 seconds. After disabling the seven Hive Pores you will receive a message saying that you have dissabled enough pores.



Second Stage
The second stage missions are to kill the guards (Kollos Killing) or break the control crystals (Destroy The Hive Crystals). In this stage you can also do tasks from 1st stage.

Mission: Kollos Killing
Kill 9 Kollos which can be found on higher floors of the Hive.

Mission: Destroy The Hive Crystals
Orockle will give you a Reagent Flask. Travel into the Hive and use the flask on the corpse of a Spidris. You will get a flask of Aggressive Fluid. Use it on the black crystal Insectoid Monolith to destroy it. You have to refill the flask on another Spidris' corpse and repeat breaking 5 times in total.

Third Stage
In this stage you can do missions from 1st and 2nd stages as well as access the reward room which is located on top floor of western Hive structure.

Rewards
Doing the missions earns points: the first stage missions are worth 1 point each, and the second stage missions are worth 2 points each. To enter reward room you have to buy special pheromone from Orockle for 50 favour points (it will last for one week) which will grant you ability to pass green door-like hatch. To get outfit you need 300 War Exp, for first addon you need 500 War Exp and for second addon (complete outfit) 1000 War Exp.

War Exp is total amount of points you earned by doing tasks and doesn't decrease, while Favour Left shows how many points you have at the moment (decrease by 50 every time you buy pheromone). The values can be checked in Quest log.
