Raiders at the Gate (questline step)

Raiders at the Gate is a step of The Bay’s Troubles.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Questline	The Bay’s Troubles
Minimum level	6+
Play mode	Online
Offered by	a captain of the watch; offered at a town's notice board (Help wanted) and on the Quests tab

Objectives

Use the location names in your quest journal. Follow map markers when they are available.

Step	Objective	Optional
1	Help drive off a raid on a town	No
2	Report to the captain at the quest inn in the named town	No

Outcomes

Added gear requires a successful quest payment and a qualifying outcome. Quest mail alone does not count as payment.

Outcome	Gold multiplier	Gear choice
You helped drive the raiders off, and the watch paid for your sword.	100%	Yes
The captain stopped waiting for your report.	No added payment	No

With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.

Next step: The Kneeling Dead.

Scripted gold

Payment	Base amount (gold)
Gold payment	200–400

These are the script’s unscaled payment ranges, before the outcome multiplier and any party split. A payment still requires its quest objective or branch; the listed payments are not automatically awarded together.
