The raid is a quest line given by The Sheriff. It is one of the more lucrative quest lines in terms of Experience points, cash, and skill points. The story begins with the discovery of a body, has two paths which branch off early, and takes the player half way across the world.

Quests

Burying

You can complete this quest on a Friday.
  • Requires:
    • Grave robber (6 hours)
  • Reward:
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Sheriff John Fitzburn: Hello {PLAYER_NAME}! Good that you are here, I need your help. Farmer Simmons told me that there is a dead man in the desert. Can you please help me carry him away and bury him?</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Sheriff John Fitzburn: May he rest in peace. What did you find there? A note? What is that written on there? A secret meeting? You should take a look at that.</spoiler>

Personal Profile

Hello little brother,
I was just about to start a big deal with a few good friends. But the Sheriff caught me during the last deal and now I'm stuck in jail in Yuma. You have to take care of the deal for me, little brother! In the Coyote desert near Capura someone will be waiting for me during the next five business days. The desert is in the south east of the country. You haven't met these men before. Wear a green shawl so they recognize you.
Take care bro. Don't mess it up!
Your brother Jeremy

Listening

Go to Coyote desert of Capura
  • Requires:
    • Green shawl 1/1
    • You can complete this quest on a Tuesday.
    • Skill Hiding at 60 (with bonus)
  • Reward:
    • 100 Experience points
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">You duck down behind a big rock and wait.</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Two men appear. A few minutes later a third man shows up.

Lucas: Hello Walter, hello Dumbly.
Walter: Hello Lucas!
Dumbly nods.
Lucas: Where is Jeremy?
Walter: He's in Yuma, he got into some trouble. He wanted to send a trustworthy replacement.
Lucas: We can't wait forever. Scott must have found a replacement by now. He's waiting for us in the Dickson Forest.
Walter: We'll wait for another 5 minutes. We'll ride away if no one shows up. We should not miss out on the 20.000 dollars. </spoiler>

Decision

After completing Listening, you must make a decision, notify the sheriff, or join the bandits. Once you accept and complete the next quest, you've chosen your path and there's no turning back. How should you choose a path?

Build: The jobs required in the bandits' path are predominantly shooting jobs, while those in the sheriff's path are hiding jobs

Roleplaying/Morality: Choose the side of law and order, or join the outlaws.

Rewards: Going by cash, the bandits' path is the best at $13,578 vs $6,426. Going by XP, the sheriff's path is best at 10,250 XP vs 7,800. Both paths have the same skill point rewards.

Possibly the most important reason: <spoiler text="Click to read">The bandit's path is the only way to get the second key.</spoiler>
