Walkthrough

This is the quest to obtain the Langseax or the Langseax of the Wolves. You need at least Kindly with the Wolves of the North to start this quest.

Faction Note: This quest requires a secondary quest - Lion Meat Shipment Quest which can be done with much lower faction. You can also do this quest many times in one go by asking Misla or Einhorst for the lion meat multiple times. Take empty bags and do you can do the quest 50+ times in one trip, gaining +350 Wolves of the North faction. You can use this to boost your faction for the Langsaex quest and get plenty Lion Delight for Iceberg.

Quest Summary

  • Complete the Lion Meat Shipment quest to get Lion Delight.
  • Run to Iceberg, give Lion Delight, receive shirt.
  • Run to Frostbite, give shirt, follow Frostbite to the criminal.
  • Kill the criminal.
  • Return criminal's head for Langseax.

Part 1: The Story

Go through the following steps to learn the story behind this quest. However, it's unnecessary - you can skip it and go to Part 2.

After the Ivan McMannus' Remains quest, Renth McLanis in Halas' McDaniels Smokes & Spirits mentions a more "dangerous matter". Once you have Kindly faction with the Wolves of the North, visit him again.

You say, 'What dangerous matter'

Renth McLanis says, 'A murder was done in Halas recently. A couple were killed by a pair o' rogues fer a mere pouch o' copper. The shaman gave chase and the main rogue, Paglan, fell beneath an ice floe. One got away. We must [hunt the murderer]. Will ye help?'

You say, 'I will hunt the murderer'

Renth McLanis says, 'Twas good old Dok whose brother and wife were slain. Speak with him at his shop. Ask him if he has [any information about the crime]. Return the head of the murderer and I'll give ye a [Langseax].'

You say, 'What Langseax'

Renth McLanis says, 'The Langseax was crafted to be wielded by a warrior only. Tis a one-handed slashing weapon with great balance to assist the warrior who masters it.'

Find Dok west of Halas' bank in Dok's Cigars.

You say, 'Do you have any information about the crime?'

Dok says, 'Aye. I happened upon the crime scene, but too late, more's the pity. I grabbed fer one of the rogues and got only a handful of his shirt. Before I knew it, I was left holding his sweaty shirt and he was far from the scene. I called fer the guards and they summoned the shaman. Methinks one died and one got away in the chase. I've heard rumors that the leader of [Clan McMannus] has spotted the culprit. Ye should go to the leader of Clan McMannus and tell him ye're [searching for the fugitive].'

You say, 'Clan McMannus'

Dok says, 'Clan McMannus were instructed by the Council to live far away from Halas. They now live in the Western Plains of Karana and supply Halas with food and materials from the warmer regions.'

To get to the village, head south out of Halas, all the way to the southwest corner of Everfrost Peaks, through Blackburrow, to Qeynos Hills. Then follow the eastern mountains south, until you hit a path which leads to the Western Karana zone line. In Western Karana, follow the path until it opens up from the zone valley, then turn right to head south. You'll find the fishing village straight ahead, just before the shore. Talk to Einhorst McMannus in one of the small fishing huts (/loc -3807, -2096).

You say, 'I'm searching for the fugitive'

Einhorst McMannus says, 'I see they have sent someone to hunt the scoundrel down. I am afraid I haven't seen the barbarian thief in quite some time. You can search and search for him here in the western plains, but I doubt you shall find him. Good luck.'

You can ask the same of the rest of the villagers, and eventually you'll catch up with Ulrich McMannus:

You say, 'I'm searching for the fugitive'

Ulrich McMannus says, 'Searching for someone, eh? You will most likely never find them on the plains. This is a vast area. I could have Frostbite help you search. He is quite good at [tracking prey].'

You say, 'Frostbite'

Ulrich McMannus says, 'Frostbite is my trusty pet and dearest friend. I trained him since he was nothing more than a pup. He can sniff out any danger with his keen sense of smell. He is quite good at [tracking prey].'

You say, 'tracking prey'

Ulrich McMannus says, 'Frostbite can track down anyone, be they man or beast. All one needs to do is obtain a SWEATY piece of clothing recently worn by the one you seek.'

Return to Dok in Halas.

You say, 'Where is the sweaty shirt?'

Dok says, 'Now, why would ye be wantin' that smelly thing?! I no longer have it. [Tundra Jack] came into me shop and bought it from me. He says he can wash it good and make a new collar for Iceberg out of it.'

You say, 'Tundra Jack'

Dok says, 'Well, now, let's see... His name is Tundra Jack... Me first guess would be that ye might find him on the frozen tundra of Everfrost, eh?'

Head out to Everfrost Peaks and find Tundra Jack on the tundra of Everfrost. He usually patrols from north to south, just west of the river.

You say, 'Hail, Tundra Jack'

Tundra Jack says, 'Good mining to you, kid! What are you doing way out here? You're gonna catch frostbite. The name's Tundra Jack, prospector supreme. Trained by the finest miners in Kaladim! Me 'n [Iceberg] have been out here for three years now, searchin' fer fortune.'

You say, 'Where is the sweaty shirt?'

Tundra Jack says, 'Looking fer that blasted shirt, huh? Well, as you can smell, I didn't get to washing it, but I wrapped it onto Iceberg's collar. I'd say you can have it, but Iceberg kind of likes it now. The only way you're gonna be able to grab it from him is to feed him his [favorite meal].'

You say, 'favorite meal'

Tundra Jack says, 'Iceberg has some picky eating habits. If he can't catch any goblins, he prefers [Lion Delight]. Lion Delight is his favorite.'

You say, 'Lion Delight'

Tundra Jack says, 'I usually get Lion Delight from Teria O'Danos in Halas.'

Part 2: The Sweaty Shirt

Go back to Halas and speak to Teria O`Danos. Do the Lion Meat Shipment Quest.

WARNING: Once you have Lion Delight, be sure to bury it lower in your containers than your normal food to prevent eating it.

Once you have the Lion Delight, return to Iceberg who can be found roaming the tundra of Everfrost, usually west of the river to give him the food.

  • He spawns at Tundra Jack's tower (2050,-3800) and immediately runs off to find Tundra Jack. However, if you wait at the tower, the two of them return to the tower frequently.
  • You can often find him stuck in pathing in front of the tower if you hop into a difficulty instance no one else is using, like D2 or D3.
  • After giving him the meat, he immediately respawns at the tower, making it easy to hand in the meat over and over and over for faction and more shirts if you plan to complete the quest multiple times.

You offered 1 Lion Delight to Iceberg.

Iceberg growls with happiness and licks your face. Just enough time to swipe the sweaty shirt from his collar! Iceberg then runs off to enjoy his lion delight!

You gain experience!!

Tundra Jack says, 'Ha! Looks like old Iceberg likes you. Either that or he's tasting you.'

You receive the Sweaty Shirt.

Part 3: The Murderers

This step appears to be slightly broken on EQ Legends - giving Frostbite the shirt causes the murderer to spawn, but Frostbite will not track for you.

  • Return to the McMannus fishing village in West Karana and give the shirt to Frostbite.

If Frostbite responds to the shirt with "RUFF RUFF" something bugged and the murderer did not spawn. He should react to the shirt with "Frostbite takes a whiff of the sweaty shirt and barks".

The murderer will be either Paglan or Basil. Paglan is tougher to kill and probably in his low to mid 20's, Basil is around level 20. Since Frostbite won't track for you it is recommended you just a loadout that includes a class with tracking. You can try finding them on your own, they seem to spawn on the western side of the map, but then run up into the mountainous north/northeast area of the map. Typically they pass through the area north of the Ogre shaman camp (area 18 on the West Karana map). Run speed buffs are also recommended.

Give the head to Renth for faction, coin, and of course, the Langseax (if you have Basil's head) or the Langseax of the Wolves (if it is Paglan's head). I am not sure what triggers which criminal you get or even if you can just kill both and get both heads, but it seems that you wil normally get Basil.

Faction Adjustments

When you complete the lion meat quest:

  • Shaman of Justice (+7)
  • Wolves of the North (+7)
  • Merchants of Halas (+10)
  • Rogues of the White Rose (+5)

When you trick Iceberg and get the Sweaty Shirt:

  • Shaman of Justice (+5)
  • Wolves of the North (+5)
  • Merchants of Halas (+5)
  • Steel Warriors (+5)
  • Rogues of the White Rose (+5)

When you kill Paglan or Basil:

  • Rogues of the White Rose (-5)


(Stuff after this is unconfirmed for EQL)


When you turn in Paglan's or Basil's head for your reward:

* Shaman of Justice (-1)

  • Wolves of the North (+1)
  • Merchants of Halas (-1)
  • Rogues of the White Rose (+1

Faction adjustments overall:

* Shaman of Justice (+1)

  • Wolves of the North (+3)
  • Merchants of Halas (+1)
  • Steel Warriors (+1)
  • Rogues of the White Rose (-2)


Here are the quest completion texts, and the unquantified faction changes.

Basil's Head

Renth McLanis says, 'Nice work [YourName]! Basil has always been an outcast of sorts. I'm glad to see you were able to stop him. Here is a Langseax for your efforts.'

OR Paglan's head

  • Renth McLanis says, 'Incredible!! We'd heard Paglan was killed attempting to cross an ice floe!! It appears his escape was for naught. Ye've earned something greater than a mere Langseax. Ye've earned the Langseax o' the Wolves. Tis an enchanted weapon meant for a warrior's skill only. The Tribunal will watch over ye.'
  • Your faction standing with WolvesoftheNorth got worse.
  • Your faction standing with ShamenofJustice got worse.
  • Your faction standing with MerchantsofHalas got worse.
  • Your faction standing with SteelWarriors got worse.
  • You receive 4 platinum pieces from Renth McLanis.
  • You gain experience!!
  • You receive 8 gold from Renth McLanis.


Be warned that the Halas Banker is part of the Rogues of the White Rose, so you may lose banking privileges if you lose too much of that faction.

Need all dialogues, current faction hits, /loc of quest mobs, additional quest items, quest mobs, details to get both Langseax and Langseax of the Wolves.
