Entering the Sewers proceed to the Thieves Guild Master 232,15 pay guard the membership fee (100g) and talk to Guild Master to get your first Exkordon quests. The rewards from the guild master quests are required in order to do Orb Runs and complete the other quests in Exkordon.

- Always be sure to have a scroll of recall with you, handy to get out of places you shouldn't be when a guard is outside.
- If you get caught by the guards breaking the law you will have your pass revoked, be fined and have to run out of Town fast before guards kill you.
Thieves Guild Quests
Quest 1: Punish The Robbers
The first quest is to kill the robbers operating without guild permission, go past Ruby, and at the next junction you will be at the center of 2 sections of robbers, Lvls 35 & 39, the next junction has 43 & 47. Move into the junction cautiously turning to the NE you will see a lvl 35 newbie robber. The object here is to get a strike in at least 1 section. The robbers are DW, so attack in the day.
Reward: Lock pick
Quest 2: Barrel Burning
The next quest he asks you to do is to punish a merchant who has not paid his protection fees by burning his stock of barrels next to the Palace. This is pretty simple, just don't get caught by the Young Guard. Stand by the barrels with a lighted torch in your hand and plan your path so you finish next to entrance, set mode to Fast. Once the guard is out of sight, use the torch with the barrels, and once all are alight, get out of there.
You will notice a gate in the wall there, you must be an Arch to go through it, it leads to the Brannington Forest and Lake, and on to the town of Brannington.
Reward: Sewer Key 1
Quest 3: Secret Trader Agreement
The third quest is to get a secret Price Fixing Agreement from Culds shop. Wait until after midnight when the shopkeepers have retired for the night, Wait for guard to pass and then use your lock pick on the metal door. Snatch the paper and get out of there before the guard comes back. A Lookout can be helpful to let you know when coast is clear. If caught, Run for your Life.
Reward: Sewer Key 2
You now have the necessary keys and lock pick for Orb Runs.
Tip: There is a backdoor available behind Culds shop that can be used to ignore the timer.
Quest 4: Gold Lock Pick
The Fourth quest he asks you to do is to go and get a golden lock pick from the Greenling King (He lost it there). Head NW from the ladder, then go NE, you will eventually come across him, kill him and take the lock pick.
Reward: Palace key
The Palace
Legend:
- ■ Note Locations
- ■ Palace Staff
- ■ Guards
- ■ Secret Doors (Key Required)
- ■ Entrance from Sewer
You are now able to go into the Palace from the Sewers, avoiding those pesky door guards. (Ladder at Top right corner of Sewer Map)
Go up ladder into the palace talk to & bribe everybody you come across, follow their instructions carefully.
If you should accidentally open a door to a guard, run back to a room with a secret door and go through it. The guards will not follow you and will go back to their posts (this works in many areas of the game). If you run into the Governor's double in Palace do not kill him, it's a 2.5K fine if you do and guards will attack you on sight!!!
Once you have found the three scrolls, go back to the Tavern outside the gate and give them to the officer there.
The Library
In the library (enter by picking lock) go to the far left, you will see 5 sections.
In each section there are tables with books, read the books. Some books have in the Title or Authors name a color. Read the books moving from Left to Right. You should end up with five colors.
In the last section there is a secret door, go through and down the ladder to Library Underground. You will see a series of multicolor bars on the floor, the color you walk across corresponds to the colors in the books.
Walk across the wrong color and you are teleported to the beginning and the colors are reset, you will have to read books again.
Go all the way through to section 5 and take the key off the last statue (30,195)
On your way you will pass two level 30 Orb spawners in sections 2 & 4 (Blue dots on map).
Go back to library and in the second alcove from the left there is a bookcase with an iron grill over it. Open it and read Knowledge of Ages by Ishtar to complete quest and gain experience. (Lag out or recall as if guard see's you leaving you'll have to run for your life)

⚠️ DON'T do this till you are level 30 even with an escort!
Around the corner NW of Culds shop is the alchemist. He needs you to get some red spider poison for him. The entrance ■ is behind the Tavern outside the City Gate.
Make sure you have plenty of cure poison pots just in case you get spider bit! These can be looted from the collectors you kill as you first go in. Spiders move quickly, so keep your wits about you.
