The Renegade Lugians have a bug problem.  Their fortress in the Lost Wish range delved too deep into the mountain's heart and found a vast Olthoi nest.  They are looking for adventurers to help them drive the bugs away from the upper levels.

Step 1:  Preparation.  To enter the Renegade Garrison, you will need to be properly flagged.  You will need to find a small Renegade camp near Zaikhal (at 17.1N 4.8W).  You might want to buff for this trip if you are below level 100 or so, but if you are a high level, the landscape monsters and the Renegades guarding the camp.  Kill them and look for a backpack on the ground.  Using it will give you a note and a journal, as well as flagging you to enter the Garrison.  Head home and grab an M note if this is the first time for everyone on your trip.  So long as one person has done this quest before (and has the pendant - see below), you won't need the cash.

Step 2:  Renegade Garrison.  Once you are properly flagged, it's time to head to the dungeon, located in the Lost Wish range at 44.3N 51.8E.  The fastest way there is to take the Mountain Shortcut just east of Subway and then run northwest.  The outside of the dungeon is protected by a good number of Gotrok Lugians, but they won't trouble you if you run quickly.  Once inside, look for Sgt. Maloth, a Lugian NPC just in front of you.  If it's your first trip here, give him the note and journal.  If you are returning, put on your Pendant (see below!) and he will open the door for your group.  If no one in your group (including you) has done this quest before, one of you will need to slip Maloth an M note to open the door.  Get through it and buff up.  You will be fighting Lugians, Tumeroks, and Olthoi, so you can either buff a single Bludgeoning weapon or both a bludge and a lightning weapon - your choice.  Protect against everything and bane against physical and acid damage.  When you are set, head into the dungeon.  There isn't a particularly good rule of thumb for navigating this dungeon unfortunately.  The best thing to remember is to not take any turns off the main path, although it is hard at times to see what the main path is.  Be sure to go south at the first intersection you see and you should be fine.  After following a long stretch of corridor leading east, you will reach a room protected by a few Tumeroks and Lugians, including a Tiatas.  Once you arrive, you will see a door that needs to be destroyed.  Imperil it and you will be greeted by a huge wave of Olthoi!  Destroy the door and wipe out the horde.  The rest of the dungeon is pretty linear.  After a few larger rooms, you will reach a locked green Olthoi door.  Check your kills for a green Royal Olthoi Guardian - its corpse has a Smelly Olthoi Gland which functions as the key to the door.  Be sure to get everyone through the door before it closes!  Now hug either the left or right wall through the next couple rooms until you see a ledge.  Jump down and clear the room.  Follow the only path out of the room and you will reach another ledge.  Jump down and clear again.  Now you will face the Young Olthoi Queen and her minions!  Wipe out the minions first and then take her down.  When she dies, a door on the north wall of her room will open.  Loot her corpse for a piece of Chitin and then bug the door while everyone else loots.  You may need to kill her more than once if you have a huge group.  When everyone has their Chitin, get through the door and follow the path down until you see several grubs and an acid pit.  Kill the grubs and look for the remains of the True Queen in the acid.  Use the remains for a bottle of goo.  When everyone has both the Chitin and the goo, Portal Recall back to the top.

Step 3:  Rewards.  Give the Chitin to the Lugian and he will reward you with a Mace, a Renegade Pendant, and 5% of your level, capped at 126.  The Pendant doesn't cast any spells, but if you are wearing it, Maloth will open the door to the dungeon for you at no cost.  Take the goo to any Agent of the Arcanum for a writ.
