'''Warning: Doing War Caches as a hardcore character is extremely dangerous, as you will not be able to get easily get help retrieving your gear, also dying in a war cache as a fairy will still send you to Fae Realm unless you have a [[Fairy Soul Anchor]]. Given this information, doing War Caches as a hardcore fairy player without a lot of preparation means you will likely effectively permanently lose your gear.'''

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|Remember those drug-manufacturing rakkies you found? Well, I've been hearing more rumors about it. It sounds powerful. Could be an alchemical recipe we could use in the Council military. Here's a map to a hole without any Xedrite in it. But it's in the same general area as that gang. I'm guessing it'll be swarming with the kitties, so be careful. Get in there and steal me a clean sample of the drug.}}

:Disclaimer: Other people in the cache with you can mess up the sequence
:• [[Drug-Test Animal (Cow)]], [[Drug-Test Animal (Deer)]], [[Drug Chemist]], [[Remeka the Compassionate]]
:• The combined Tooth/Eye gate at entry will be the last one you do – some of the gates are already open on entry
:• Vase gate Run through the open vase 1 should already be open – run S then to the NE for that room, get the rune and recall beginnings
:• Run WNW, get the 2 runes and deal with Remeka if desired
:• Use the vase lever to open vase gate 2 (and closing vase gate 1) – get the rune in SW room – recall beginnings
:• Run W then SE through the (open) vase and eye gates(W and S from entry)
:• Run E through to get the next rune and use the eye lever – recall beginnings
:• Head W then S back through the vase gate and use the tooth lever to open the tooth/eye gate. Recall beginnings and the last room should be open

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|So the drug you found out there, that Telka's Tits or whatever... it's garbage. Only works on rakkies! Most worthless drug since I got my hands on 'bounceweed'. But there's good news: the stuff is made from the silk of the rare giant sand worm, and we think other, better drugs could be made from the same stuff. And I have a lead on a cache infested with 'em! If we're lucky, you can get some samples of their silk while you're getting my xedrite. Before you leave, go see if the Sand Seer has any advice for ya on Sand Worm killin'. Or just take my advice: use archery. But no, no, the elf woman's gotta make it more complicated than that!}}

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|We've found another war cache in the region that used to be '[[New Argolis]]'. It wasn't on the front lines. Hegemony troops went there for booze and whores. So there shouldn't be any spike traps or death beams or anything. Nice and easy! In fact, I almost gave this job to my second-best finder, [[Kella]], so I could save you for the hard ones. But she declined it... so it's all yours. She said the area is full of snakes, and she's afraid of snakes. Whoever heard of a rakkie that's afraid of snakes? What is this world coming to, I ask you? Anyway, I guess she might know what she's talking about. Bring some antivenom.}}

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|I've got a real easy one for you! This one's in the remains of '[[New Argolis]]', the old R&R camp for Hegemony soldiers during the war. The Seer didn't go in, of course, but she said it smells like beer in there. I can't imagine it's still drinkable, though. Remember: wine ages, but beer just goes bad after a few decades. Don't make yourself sick!}}

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|Here's the map to your next mission. It used to be a holding cell for war prisoners. It sounds like it's been flooded for a while, which means the bandits will have moved on, but I'm sure there's snakes and other dumb animals in there. Oh, and ghosts. Ghosts always show up in military prisons... you're not scared of ghosts, are you? I just give 'em a stunning bash with my shield. That shuts 'em up.}}

:The xedrite chests and runes are behind the numbered gates (19, 30, 26).
:• [[Viper]], [[Megatriffid]], [[Ghostly Prisoner]]
:• South Gate 19: Use the first set of levers. From left to right - pull 2nd lever once and 3rd lever once. Get the xedrite and rune and recall beginnings
:• Reset levers to zero: still showing 19 – pull 3rd then 2nd levers to reset to zero
:• West Gate 30: head to the east levers and pull: 2nd, 4th, 3rd (should come up 30), recall beginnings and do the 30 gate area – recall beginnings
:• North Gate 26: head back to levers at the entry – should still be showing 30. Pull 4th and then 3rd lever. Should come up as 26.

:Gates are timed so you may have to run through the buttons more than once
:Door 1 (2 gates): Press the button on the N wall, then 2nd button is in the open store room directly across. After going thru the open gates, a button there opens them again if you need it
:Door 2 (3 gates) – facing N:
: o Button 6 on the left opens 1 gate
: o Button 2 on the right opens 1 gate
: o Button 7 on the right opens 1 gate
:Door 3 (4 gates):
: o After getting the 4th rune, head north to get the 5th rune and deal with Arbulekh (northern most room) if desired
: o Run back to the E/W hallway facing W.
: o Facing W there is an open arch with a crypt leaning on the left and a skull button on the right. Ignore that button – go past the open arch, turn around (facing E) and use that button
: o In the main part of the adjacent room, press the S button.
: o Turn back to the W and run around to the open arch, using the left button opens 1 gate
: o Straight ahead to door 3 and the right button opens remaining gates (sometimes it may just open 1 gate – have to hit all these buttons quickly)

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|Got a big ole' mummy-infested deathtrap for ya. Lots of xedrite though! I've already sent someone into this one and she came back empty-handed, sayin' it was too dangerous. So I tell ya what, I'll throw in a little something extra if you can get all three pieces. Just don't die over it! }}

:• [[Mummy Wrapper]], [[Mummy Rotter]], [[Snow Leaper]], [[Ghoul]], [[Ghoul Smasher]], [[Explosion Trap]]
:• Skull Buttons with flame results are not the right ones and will reset the doors
:• Buttons with glowy results are correct

:• The buttons also seem to be timed, may have to run through a sequence more than once
:• Once you pass through a gate, all doors have a button to open it again on the back

:Door 1 (W and S from entry) – four buttons:
:• R top, R bottom, L bottom, L top
:• Get the 1st rune
:Door 2 (E from first door) – four buttons to open this door. The buttons for this door seem to be timed:
:• From the 1st rune - the first button is dead ahead by an open gate (should be facing east)
:• Second button is by the 2nd rune
:• Third button is left of door 2 (should be facing north) (you can ignore the right button by door 2)
:• For the last button run west from door 2, then south – button is by the open arch
:• Get the xedrite and recall beginnings
:Door 3 (full W from entry) – opens in this order (can ignore all the E and W buttons):
:• Right button on the S wall
:• Right button on the N wall
:• Left button on the N wall
:• Left button on the S wall
:• Get the xedrite and recall beginnings
:Door 4 (N from entry) – only 1 button to deal with - opens easily without any sequencing or button combos.Ignore the skull buttons in this room.

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|I've talked with my informants about those scorpions you found. And they WERE keeping secrets from me! Apparently scorpion poison is very valuable on the rakkie bandit market, so they've been keeping their existence secret from me. Like I give a fuck about poison glands! I just want the weaponized xedrite. Working with me should be a win-win! Why are they hiding this?! I convinced them to give me the location of another scorpion-filled pit. You're the only agent I trust in this desert -- aside from the Seer, of course -- so this one's all yours. There are two objectives this time: get my xedrite, and also get me a sample from one of these scorpions. Look for a decently scary-looking one, kill it, and bring back... well, just bring the whole thing back, I guess. The Seer wants to examine it. You should expect scorpions, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were bandits in there, too. Be ready for anything! Here's the map. Get me my xedrite!}}

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|The Sand Seer examined the scorpion remains you brought back, and she found something interesting. That scorpion's carapace was infused with xedrite! She thinks xedrite dust got into their shells or something. I don't buy it. We need a lot more information. It took some bribery, but I got the location of another scorpion-filled pit for you. There's no xedrite in this one. Just go in, kill every scorpion, and bring me back those carapaces.}}

{{Quote|source=[[Sir Johnson]]|Got another spider-hole for you. No xedrite detected, though, so you're not going in for that. You're going in because the Sand Seer needs more spider legs or something. I'm starting to regret listening to her about this... but she says it might be a huge crisis, so now I can't just tell her to ignore it! Do whatever she needs, and try to be quick about it.
