I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong. At the moment, I have a task to collect 5 red orc scalps for Dakris the furrier, "of at least fair quality." As far as I know the only place to find red orcs in the Landing is the old underground ruins on the Coastal Cliffs, but I have been through 10 scalps now without any working, this last time right after being told I have an Adventure Boost.

>ask Dakris about bounties
Dakris says,"You've been tasked to retrieve 5 red orc scalps for me. I'll need them all to be of at least fair quality. You can SKIN them off the corpse of a lesser red orc or purchase them from another adventurer. You can SELL the skins to me as you collect them."
>sell scalp
You ask Dakris if he would like to buy a red orc scalp.
Dakris takes the red orc scalp, appraises it minutely, then shakily hands you 9 silvers.
>take scalp
You remove a red orc scalp from in your black leather pack.
>sell scalp
You ask Dakris if he would like to buy a red orc scalp.
Dakris takes the red orc scalp, appraises it minutely, then shakily hands you 14 silvers.
>take scalp
You remove a red orc scalp from in your black leather pack.
>sell scalp
You ask Dakris if he would like to buy a red orc scalp.

>ask Rheteger about bounties
Rheteger says, "You have already been assigned a task, Virilia. If you wish to be removed from that assignment, please ASK me about REMOVAL."


I know from a foraging task that I could find the right item but the "quality" would be wrong if it was not the ideal location. Is this my skinning skill not being good enough, or a bug, or an F2P limit on Adventure Guild tasks per however long, or...?

I would surmise your issue is in the quality of the skins you are getting from the red orcs, and nothing to do with F2P at all. When you skin something, you can APPRAISE the skin to see the quality of the job you did. How skilled a job you do will be a mix of factors in the skills you've trained in, as well as the damage you've done to the area you are trying to skin from, and some other factors. More information on skinning can be found over on the Wiki via this link: https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/SKIN_(verb)

Hopefully the link provided will let you try again and see if you are able to achieve a fair quality skin. Good luck!

Thank you. I did not realize I could "appraise" the skin quality.
