The money that you get for risking your life in the troll cave is very low for the amount of work involved. I have been hunting trolls for a couple of days now and have only five hides. You need all twelve to get paid, but I have been getting one pelt for every eight or ten trolls I have killed.
I did some math and each pelt is worth about 33.4 gups each. I hate to have five pelts in my inventory that are worthless, but since the quest is nearly impossible for me to complete I will have to contend with the mobs of hunters chasing the minotaurs, which are much easier to kill and worth three times as much money.

You cannot sell them. I've all 12 and the guy will not even take them. I think it is bugged. Oh well. They had decent loot and got 500 to 700 exp for killing the darned things.

The quest IS working. You need to get to troll hunters cave ( past fields of dead and mountain ogres), there will be trolls inside that cave and once you've killed one the quest will update and you will be able to hand back hides to the tanner.

I'll check the quest out again, last time i tried it never updated when i killed a troll. I'm pretty sure that I've been in that cave before, but I'm not sure if it was before or after I got the quest. Many others as well are under the impression that the quest is bugged and have stated that most dms will give you gold for the hides, not sure if thats true or not, but it's what I've heard.

I'm talking about the same quest, the quest wont update if you have 12 hides and kill a troll in a cave near candlekeep, for me it updated once I killed troll berserker (you can easily identify them, they rage in combat, they are level 20 ones I belive) inside the cave past the river after fields of dead.

That is a change then.. previously the troll hides that were needed could be harvested (and had to be harvested) from the troll cave on the coast in the Ogre area.
I would say that is still a bug, or a very misleveled reward if you have to go kill Troll Beserkers to complete the quest, lol.

Yeah, I'd classify that as a bug. I tried to complete the quest, didn't get the option to finish it, and tried to decline it in order to restart it. Result: starting the quest dialogue doesn't do anything at all.  |
