alieda, he wouldn't speak to me either but he let me fetch his groceries. Just hand him the artifact and he will give you the mini quest... after you return with his groceries he will speak to you and give you the reciept.
GOOD LUCK on your epic :)

I Spent all day finding a way to raise my faction so I could do this part of the quesst.
I petitioned a GM and she told me she couldn't give away anyway to help me because of their rules put on them but I discovered away around some of hte programming verant was done.
You cannot hand items into people now while invised it makes you visible even though the icon is still there.

Sneak and hide are also removed when you try to hand items to someone (NPC not PC)

So I discovered a way to get quick faction without the need to kill Gix for 2weeks straight.

It is rather simple
-You need indifferent faction to do the bat wing quest
-Invis gives you indiff but is removed when u hand something in
-So you have to do the follow

*You have to be NON KOS to the keepers of the art
*You have to have a friend that is NON KOS to the keepers of the art.
*Your friends has to be able to cast invisible on you

So you go to EC and buy about 30stacks or bat wings and go to felewith and sit infront of Niola Impholder and hand her the items not 4b at wings at a time.....but 4 bat wins in every trade box (16 bat wings). Then tell your friend to invis you and after you r invised hit trade.


Tada you complete the quest 4 times in one try....
rinse and repeat till your faction is indifferent without the invis and you can do the quest on your own.

I was able to bring my faction from dub to amiably in about 2hours doing this and only toke an hour of the invisible trick to get to indifferent....

So hope this helps you out.

and your thoughs of you that are KOS to the keepers of the art I have two things to say I pity you......and get ready to camp gix.

Good luck on your epics druids/rangers

#Anonymous, Posted: Jan 22 2001 at 8:12 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Yes, Ive been doing druid epic, yes I started out with bad faction and YES i cant do the batwings to raise this. The weird thing is i have a druid woodelf friend who CAN do the batwings and i CANT. Whats up with this? NOONE knows another way to raise faction besides killing Gix and this quest which I think is pretty gay since this offically screws over 1/2 the druids on epic for like a month to killl Gix 400 times for good enough faction to do bat wings.

OK guys.. unfortunately its not over when the baby sings..... I am a 52 halfling druid and have always been able to do the batwing quest. so far to date I have given Niola Impholder over 3000 batwings. and everytime my faction says it goes up. Yet my factions have yet to rise since about the first 200 batwings... My faction right now is Low amiable and have complained about this to the GM/s for some 3-4 months now. each time a bug report was put in... They aren't going to be doing anything about this or they would have by now... We are just screwed : (

#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 29 2000 at 6:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I never did anything to lower this faction (that I can remember). I'm a Human Druid and the mage guild (Keepers of the Art) is dubious to me. I killed Gix every 8 minutes for about 10 hours (about 70 - 80 times) and I am now apprehensive. Still too low to do the Batwing quest. The thing that stinks the most is that you have to have good faction with the Keepers of the Art for the Druid Epic weapon. I hope Halflings have the same problem that I do, because it would be really lame if this faction thing only effects Human Druids.

It doesn't just affect human druids. I am a wood elf druid and I was also dubious to the Keepers of the Art. I haven't checked yet, but I believe when you start your character and follow a certain religion perhaps you START out dubious to them. I wouldn't say Verant sucks, I would just say that the Keepers don't like us druids.

Half elf druid of Tunare is dubious as well.

You can kill Kizdean Gix in the West Commonlands. He gives plus Keepers of the Art faction when he is killed but be warned he's major dangerous!

Gix dangerous? Bah!!! If you're worried about your KoA faction, you're epic level and Gix is a pushover. He started conning green at a low 40ish level, his HT barely makes my life bar move. Once I drop a Snare on him it takes about 4 seconds to kill him. Just sit there and wait for him to come back and do it all over again. I think I needed to heal twice after a day of camping this spud.

Go to Neriak 3rd Gate and Kill Krizen J'Narus, he will raise faction with Keepers of the Art, and is located in the back of the zone. He is appx 45 Necro w/o pet. Keep high MR and you wont have to worry about being feared into the guards, and he only has a 160 DD poison based dot, Dispell, and Scourge (Disease Based Dot).
