Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Breda tells you about an Orcish New Life tradition: the Stonetooth Bash. While it always includes a party, there may be some punching involved on occasion. You will need to find Matron Borbuga who is coordinating the feast on Betnikh this year. She can be found in the Stonetooth Fortress on Betnikh, near the outfit station. She tells you that the Orcs are running a bit low on food for the festivities, and she wants you to gather more. She needs fresh meat and honeycomb, which you can find on the island.

 
Wolves: A source of Mystery Meat
 
Collect Honeycomb

Wasps will drop Betnikh Honeycomb, while Rabbits, Rats, Mudcrabs and Wolves drop the Stonetooth Mystery Meat. Honeycomb can also be acquired from Wasp Nests, added to the region during New Life Festival 2019. Once you've gathered two pieces of Mystery Meat and a Honeycomb, return to Matron Borbuga. Give her the food, and she tells you to partake in the festivities by eating and drinking to your heart's content.

There are three items you can consume as part of the feast. On the table, there is a Honeyed Wolf Pie and Bitter Goat Cheese. By the wall, there is a keg of Spiked Betnikh Ale. Once you have tried one serving of each item, you can use a Soiled Napkin to show your appreciation for the feast with a belch. There is an optional objective to show your appreciation to another player using the napkin. When you're done, return to Breda to be rewarded.

NotesEdit

  • Drinking from the Spiked Ale keg does not complete the Stonetooth Belcher achievement. For that, you must drink the player-crafted Betnikh Twice-Spiked Ale. This is best done immediately after turning in the ingredients to Borbuga and before partaking of any of the food and drink at the feast.
  • The quest provides two circles in which to hunt for meat and honey, but you are by no means restricted to hunting only within those circles. Rabbits, Mudcrabs or Wolves killed anywhere on the island will provide you with 1 or 3 Stonetooth Mystery Meat (respectively), and any Giant Wasps will provide Betnikh Honeycomb. As there are often many players hunting inside the circles, it may be faster to search the rest of the island.
  • Originally, you were required to gather eight pieces of Stonetooth Mystery Meat for this quest. This requirement was lowered to two in 2019.

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
