They will say that the Chat head image of goblin, File:goblin chathead goblin race is on the brink of civil war over armour colour, and they want their armour to be orange.

Gathering the required items[]

Skip this subsection if you already have the items required.

Ask the generals where you can get orange armour. Eventually, one will answer that you can dye Item image of %7B%7B%3AGoblin+mail%7D%7D, File:Goblin mail Goblin mail orange. Chat head image of Grubfoot, File:Grubfoot chathead Grubfoot will mention he stole yellow dye from a witch in Link to Draynor Village Draynor Village, and mentions you may be able to find it there. One of the generals will mention you can find goblin mail in three different crates around the village. Grab the suits of goblin mail from the following crates:

  • Behind the generals' hut.
  • Inside the western hut in between the small square hut and the generals' hut.
  • Up a ladder near the entrance.

Note: Don't dye 3 pieces of armour. You only want 1 blue and 1 orange. Leave one plain. If you mistakingly paint an armour you won't get new ones from the crates.

Alternatively, goblin mail can be obtained as a drop from killing Chat head image of goblin, File:goblin chathead goblins. The goblins in Link to Goblin Village Goblin Village drop red or green goblin mails, which can be dyed, but you will need one uncolored one from a standard goblin.

Ask him if you can buy some. When you do, he'll ask how much you are willing to pay. Say, "About 20 coins," and he'll say you are generous and will give you two woad leaves. This is easier and cheaper than the alternative, which is to say, "About 15 coins," and he will give you only one woad leaf. Do this again, and the total price will ring up at 30 Coins 1 coins.

Two Empty sack onions can easily be picked from the field just north of Link to Rimmington Rimmington, or alternate places such as Link to Lumbridge Lumbridge, in the backyard of Chat head image of Fred the Farmer, File:Fred the Farmer chathead Farmer Fred's farm, which is next to the sheep paddock.

Making the dyes[]

You need to make orange dye and blue dye.

Likewise, if you don't already have the blue dye, take 2 Woad leaf 1 woad leaves and 5 coins to Aggie to create the blue dye.
