4) Talien quest, which give you 2 landmines that you can use to kill enemys units by landing them on the floor (aoe dmg).
5-6) Centaure quest, and stalker quest, both of them randomly give you either the orb of seeing (far seer) / horn of hilgar (increase dmg of units around it when used) / staff of silence (stops enemy casting spell) / amulete of spell shield (immune the hero from a spell for a certain time) / diamond of summoning (can teleport 12 units like a teleporter) / dragon stone (+6 dmg for hero and freeze unit).
