&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Open The Gates&#039;&#039;&#039; is an introductory, members-only quest in Winds of Valen that grants players access to [[Valen City]]. In this quest, you must assist Guard Captain Miller in locating his missing scouts around the [[Goblin Villager]] camp, and ultimately confront the [[Goblin General]].&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Walkthrough ==&lt;br /&gt;
To begin the quest, speak with the Gate Guard stationed near Valen Gate at the gates of Valen City. He will inform you that the gates cannot be opened and directs you to cross the bridge towards the Broken Village to speak with Guard Captain Miller for the full story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon speaking with Captain Miller, he will ask for your assistance in locating three of his missing scouts: Harry, Walter, and Thomas. Before setting off to find them, it is highly recommended to bring a pickaxe and some strong healing items (such as a Large Strong Health Potion), as this quest concludes with a boss battle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Finding the Scouts ===&lt;br /&gt;
The three scouts are scattered in the hills west of the Valen Gate:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Harry:&#039;&#039;&#039; Head to the purple wooded fort near the [[Goblin Villager]] camp, west of Valen Gate. You will need to defeat Level 15 [[Goblin Villager|Goblin Villagers]] in this area until one of them drops a Guard Helmet, which serves as proof of Harry&#039;s fate.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Thomas:&#039;&#039;&#039; From Harry&#039;s location, continue further west towards the cliffs. You will find Thomas stationed here; simply speak with him.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Walter:&#039;&#039;&#039; Head back down the hill in the direction of Captain Miller. Along the path, look for a wooded area near a fork in the road, where Walter can be found sitting behind a rock.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Confronting the General ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:goblingenerallocation.png|thumb|right|300px|Location of the Goblin General&#039;s cave.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have obtained the Guard Helmet and spoken to both Thomas and Walter, return to Guard Captain Miller to deliver the news. Miller will then instruct you to return to Thomas&#039;s location to clear a cave entrance blocked by rubble (requires Level 15 [[Mining]]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon clearing the rubble and entering the cave, you will face off against the Level 55 [[Goblin General]]. Defeat him and collect the Goblin Goods to finish the quest.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Drop Mechanics =&lt;br /&gt;
The system balances drop mechanics using a persistent pity formula to soften the volatility of RNG:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{DryRolls} = \text{TotalRolls} - (\text{TotalDrops} \times N)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under this system, the dynamic drop rate only increases when a player exceeds the expected dry threshold, helping prevent extreme streaks of bad luck on rare items like the [[Elven Greatsword]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Walkthrough ==&lt;br /&gt;
To begin the quest, speak with the Gate Guard stationed near Valen Gate at the gates of Valen City. The guard will inform you of a situation and direct you to speak with Guard Captain Miller.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cross the nearby bridge toward the goblin camp to find Guard Captain Miller. Upon speaking with him, he will ask for your assistance in opening the gate. To do this, you must locate three of his missing scouts: Harry, Walter, and Thomas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Harry:&#039;&#039;&#039; Head above the area where the berserker boss is located. You will need to defeat Level 15 Goblins in this area until one of them drops Harry&#039;s helmet.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Thomas:&#039;&#039;&#039; Continue further up the hill near the chieftain boss&#039;s location. You will find Thomas stationed here; simply speak with him.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Walter:&#039;&#039;&#039; Head back down the hill in the direction of Captain Miller. Look for a wooded area along the way, where Walter can be found sitting behind a rock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have obtained Harry&#039;s helmet and located both Thomas and Walter, return to Guard Captain Miller to deliver the news and complete the quest.&lt;br /&gt;
