The spoiler's first class quest is Path to a Scavenger. A Dwarven Fighter takes it at level 19 (18 on some servers) from Collector Pippi in the Dwarven Village. You track down Master Toma, bring him 5 Honey Jars and 20 tarantula Beads, receive the Ring of Raven and change class to Scavenger at level 20.

In Interlude the spoiler's first class quest is called Path to a Scavenger; later chronicles renamed it Path of the Scavenger. The quest itself is easy: the monsters are low level and everything happens in dwarven lands. Three things eat up the time — finding Master Toma, hunting Hunter Bears and collecting tarantula Beads. Below is the fastest way through each of them.
Steps and numbers in this guide are for Interlude and based on the scripts of open-source server builds. Classic and later chronicles differ in details, and servers with modified logic may not match these numbers.
Scavenger quest walkthrough
| Step | Where and who | What to do | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Collector Pippi, Bronze Key Guild, Dwarven Village | Take the quest — Dwarven Fighter only, level 19+ |  Pippi's Letter of Recommendation |
| 2 | Trader Mion, Dwarven Village | Hand over the letter and agree to deliver packages | Your first package |
| 3 | Zimenf, Shari or Bronk, Dwarven Village | Deliver the package and return to Mion. Five deliveries, or three plus answering “No!” (shortcut below) |  Mion's Letter |
| 4 | Master Toma: near the Abandoned Coal Mines, near the Mithril Mines or on the island off the coast; moves every 30 minutes | Hand over Mion's letter |  Bear Picture |
| 5 | Western Mining Zone, the coast north of the Abandoned Coal Mines | Kill Hunter Bears lv. 14 — a Honey Bear lv. 17 appears on the 22nd–31st: Spoil it and finish it yourself | 5  Honey Jars (at quest rate x5+ one Honey Bear is enough) |
| 6 | Master Toma | Hand over the honey |  Tarantula Picture |
| 7 | Same place, Western Mining Zone | Spoil and kill Plunder Tarantulas lv. 17 (60% chance) or Hunter Tarantulas lv. 16 (33%) | 20  Beads |
| 8 | Master Toma | Choose “The closest one.” — the shorter route |  Bead Parcel |

Mion's deliveries: getting the letter faster
Pippi sends you to Mion, the only one who knows where his brother, Master Toma, is. In return Mion wants you to work as a courier. Each time he hands you a package for one of three villagers, chosen at random: a potion for the priest Zimenf, an axe for the trader Shari or an ingot for the blacksmith Bronk. Deliver it, collect the payment, return to Mion and take the next one.
Do five deliveries honestly and Mion tells you where his brother is. There is a shortcut. After the third delivery, take the fourth package, talk to Mion again right away and answer “No!” to his question. He gets offended but gives you Mion's Letter and says his brother went to the northern coast.
Where to find Master Toma
Toma never stays put: every half hour he moves to one of three spots up north, and he can also stay where he was. The spots are:
- near the Abandoned Coal Mines;
- near the Mithril Mines;
- on a small island off the northern coast, which you reach by swimming.
If Toma isn't there, check the other two spots. Start with the mines: the Dwarven Village gatekeeper teleports you there, while the island means a swim. Waiting at one spot for more than half an hour is pointless — by then he has definitely moved.
How many Hunter Bears to kill for a Honey Bear
This is the main question of the quest: forums are full of players asking why dozens of bears produced no Honey Bear. In open-source Interlude builds it works on a counter, not on luck:
- your first 21 Hunter Bear kills cannot spawn a Honey Bear at all;
- from the 22nd bear the chance grows by 10% with each kill;
- the Honey Bear appears on the 31st bear at the latest, around the 25th on average;
- the counter resets once a Honey Bear spawns.
The counter only runs after Toma gives you the Bear Picture, and only bears you finish off yourself count. Bears killed before talking to Toma or by your party don't count.
How many Honey Bears you need depends on the server's quest rate: one Honey Bear drops as many Honey Jars as the quest drop multiplier.
| Quest rate | Honey Bears needed | Hunter Bears to kill, on average |
|---|---|---|
| x1 | 5 | about 123 |
| x2 | 3 | about 74 |
| x3–x4 | 2 | about 49 |
| x5 and higher | 1 | about 25 |
On low rates this is the longest part of the quest. If you'd rather skip the long hunt, look at servers with a rate of x5 and higher, where a single Honey Bear is enough.
Tarantula Beads: how many to kill
Toma's second request is 20 Beads. They come from Plunder Tarantulas lv. 17 and Hunter Tarantulas lv. 16 living on the same coast. A Bead drops only if the tarantula was under your Spoil and you finished it off. Plunder Tarantulas are almost twice as good: a 60% chance versus 33%.
BeadDrop: Plunder Tarantula lv. 17 · chance 60% · needed 20 pcs
A server may multiply quest drops differently from its main rate: check the exact multiplier in the server description.
BeadDrop: Hunter Tarantula lv. 16 · chance 33.33% · needed 20 pcs
A server may multiply quest drops differently from its main rate: check the exact multiplier in the server description.
Closest or farthest parcel: which to choose
After you hand over the Beads, Toma asks which friend should get the parcel — the closest or the farthest. Choose “The closest one.”: the parcel goes to Yasheni in Schuttgart. He gives you the Ring of Raven on the spot, and the quest is complete.
“The one farthest away.” takes much longer. You carry the parcel to Raut in Gludin, who asks you to find his nephew Torai in Dragon Valley, give him a return scroll and then come back to Gludin for the ring. The reward is the same either way, and the closest option saves you the trip to Dragon Valley.
How to change class to Scavenger
A Warehouse Chief of the dwarven guild changes your class from level 20. You need the Ring of Raven in your inventory; it is taken during the change. In Interlude that is Moke in Gludin or Rikadio in Gludio. In Schuttgart Alder changes classes, but not every Interlude server has him; in Classic and High Five he is always there. The Dwarven Village itself can't change your class; the NPCs there only explain how to get it.
Scavenger is the spoiler's first step. Next comes the spoiler 2nd class quest for Bounty Hunter, and at level 76 the third class, Fortune Seeker. If you want a crafting dwarf instead, you need a different quest — the Artisan 1st class quest.

What level do you need for the Scavenger quest?
Path to a Scavenger can be taken at level 19 (18 on some servers), and you can change class to Scavenger at level 20.
Where do you get the spoiler 1st class quest?
From Collector Pippi in the Bronze Key Guild in the Dwarven Village. Only a Dwarven Fighter can take it.
How many Hunter Bears do you need to kill for a Honey Bear?
A Honey Bear appears between the 22nd and the 31st Hunter Bear kill, around the 25th on average. At quest rate x1 you need 5 Honey Bears, about 123 bears in total; at x5 and higher one is enough.
Why won't the Honey Jar drop?
It drops only if you Spoiled the Honey Bear and finished it off yourself. If Spoil failed, there is no honey.
Where is Master Toma?
Every 30 minutes Toma moves between three spots: near the Abandoned Coal Mines, near the Mithril Mines and on a small island off the northern coast, reached by swimming.
Should I choose the closest or the farthest parcel?
The closest one: Yasheni in Schuttgart gives you the Ring of Raven at once. The farthest option sends you through Gludin and Dragon Valley.
Who changes your class to Scavenger?
A Warehouse Chief of the dwarven guild from level 20: Moke in Gludin or Rikadio in Gludio, and on some servers Alder in Schuttgart. You need the Ring of Raven.
