Keepers of the Art

In the High Elf City of South Felwithe can be found the Keepers of the Art. Three seperate guildhalls conencted by magic teleporters are set peacefully around a small lake. Kinool Goldsinger leads the Enchanters, Niola Impholder the Magicians, and Tarker Blazetoss the Wizards. The Keepers support the Elven King Tearis Thex and the Kelethin Rangers guild called Faydark's Champions. They are opposed to the Dark Elf necromancers and shadowknights of The Dead faction in Neriak.

The following quests require Keepers of the Art faction

Quest Name Minimum Faction Required Maximum Faction Allowed

Bat Wings Indifferent
Black Wolf Skin Indifferent

Jeremy's Letter Dubious
The Mystic Cloak Dubious

Easy faction quest

I missed Keeper of the Art faction for Druid epic.

I bought 1000 batwings from Katha Firespinner in Commonlands - went to mage guild in Southern Felwithe. Found Niola Impholder. She has a quest (Bat Wings) the requires 4 batwings in exchange for 2 Faction hits to Keeper of the Art. Turned in 100 at a time.

Bat Wings gives these factions:
Your faction standing with Keepers of the Art has been adjusted by 2.
Your faction standing with King Tearis Thex has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Faydarks Champions has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with The Dead has been adjusted by -1.

If you're a Druid and need to update Keepers of the Art faction quick, do the Jeremy's Letter quest.

Bind yourself at Elishia Leafrunner in Southern Felwithe. Port to Surefall Glade and run to Jaggedpine. Jeremy Leafrunner is pretty close to the Jadggedpine port in spot.

Keep Gate and Surefall Glade port both loaded to save time.

You can do one of these a minute, depending on how fast you zone. For every one you do, you get +10 to Keepers of the Art. I had to do it 11 times to get Amiable with Keepers of the Art. I conned Farios Elianos (standing next to Elishia) to test my faction with Keepers.

Another benefit to binding next to Elishia Leafrunner, is that you need to gate back there twice for the next two steps in the Druid Epic 1 quest.

Kizdean Gix is reported as a +1 faction hit, so you got +12 from him (unless the faction information here is incorrect).

The 4 bone chip quests we have listed (under bone chips) are Kaladim, Cabilis, Felwithe and Qeynos... none of which appear to give Keepers of the Art faction hits. I'm not seeing a quest under bone chips that does, but maybe I'm missing something obvious?

A note to post for all of you interested in faction.....gaining AND repairing

(from a not-so-bright mage who killed Linara in Najena for epic)

http://pl-systems-server.plsys.co.uk/weblog/pau...t&smm=y

I just verified this :))))



Shrouding down to a rogue - sneaking and hiding behind Niola AND doing the batwing quest works very well!!! Using the formula I found by this kind soul who posted this (below) in combination with the above website got me to warmly *comparitively* quickly (had killed in OOT, neriak and commons for hours and hours and still threateningly) Using this, went from threateningly to warmly with 1-2 hours. It is now INFINITELY faster as the wings stack to 100.
This post is wonderful and thank you!!!!:

(4 batwings to one faction point)

2100 batwings = 525 faction hits. Amiable spans 400 points, kindly spans 250.



With many sighs of relief and one VERY happy mage who can once again go HOME without being killed! :)

I've been running around Neriak working on Keepers of the Art faction, found a mob that gives positive Keepers of the Art faction that isn't listed and needs to be added to the list. Name of mob is Razran F`Lok, he is found in Neriak Commons and paths right in front of Olavn N`Mar.

Been doing batwing turnins for a few days now (nothing else I can do since I can't even spawn Faelin Bloodbriar due to the orc arm in gfay - her orc pawn PH doesn't even spawn! And only 4 centurians on track, the rest are the darn war mobs and kelethin guards. (I have /feedbacked on this - so lame to not let druids even really START their epic due to this darn event.)

Started at indifferent to Niola and the other guy. After about 320 bat wings, I'm still at amiable (I'm a halfling.) This is taking forever :-/

As I stated under Niola's page...just turn yourself into a rogue (shroud), get your bat wings, get in your hide and sneak mode, get BEHIND Niola, and start handing in those bat wings. It takes a while depending on where you started with your faction, but hang in there..it'll happen! ;-)

FYI: It took me approx. 4600 batwings to go from KOS to Threatening...still working on it! ;-)

I too mucked up my KoA faction while in Najena. I have managed to improve it somewhat through Gix, Jeremy's letter and the key turn ins in CB. Last night though I tried <again> the batwing turn in to Niola and she would not even accept them, "I have no need for those items". Is that quest no good anymore? She used to accept them from me and still be mad, now she just won't take them.

Verant really really needs to address this - I'll be /petitioning every day. HIE 59 Magician. KOS to KoA now due to friggin epic piece in Najeena in 20's. Ever since then I have not been able to get past the friggin Enchanter in the portal room. Can't do any of the quests to raise faction since all the damned turn in points are behind this dorf. guess I'll start camping the Neriak guards. Gix camped for two weeks on and off for total of about 32 hours, got faction messages, faction never budged. hopefully the damned Neriak mobs will be better. or I'll continue my /petition rant with these dorks.

/end of rant

I can't do the batwing quest! I'm only apprehensive (WE Ranger) and the stupid Niola Impholder tells me she'll do nothing to aid beings like me! What the hell!?

Anyone got any ideas?

Yep that is what I am, but the elves(except the rogues) all like me. Keepers so far was my hardest faction to raise. I killed Gix over and over, but no luck. It only got me from ready to attack to threatening. So it hit me. I had 5 boxes filled with bat wings. I baught Essence of Wood Elf. After 10 boxes of bat wing stacks a Dark Elf was apprehensive to Keepers. Down side is I have to find out why the wizard GM is the only one that won't talk to me, maybe the Dark Elves are never ment to use opposing Elven GMs. But I don't know for sure. Downside is The Dead, not my guild, hates me so bad and they have Spurned Iniate Caster guild stacked out so it's hard for me to go back to get supplies. Really don't like that. No other guild is like that. Darn Queen and her minions.

Ok, I was dubious to all these quest npc's in Felwithe.. I'm trying to work on my epic, and I have to deal with this guy in Timorous Deep, but he won't say anything nice to me. To fix faction, you do the batwing quest, but she wouldn't speak nicely to me either. So I killed Kizdean a bunch of times (15-30) and still dubious to these people. Then I discovered a letter quest between Felwithe and Jaggedpine.. Bind yourself next to the quest npc in Felwithe, and setup three hotkeys:

1. For Jeremy in JPF:
"I would be willing to deliver a letter to her."

2. For Elishia in Felwithe South:
"I wouldn't mind taking a letter back to him for you."

3. A backpack slot (for quick opening and closing with a number key).

Stay SoW'd, and run to the gemstone to port you to Jaggedpine Forest. In JPF, head south to a large campfire. Don't get excited about the flame graphics. One NPC is standing next to it, named Jeremy. Hit the first hotkey, and it should say that message for you (without the quotes!).

He gives you a letter. Cast Gate. Give letter to Elishia. Remember, I was dubious. Upon hailing, she doesn't have anything nice to say either. But she accepts the letter. Hey, why not? She at least thanks you, then spits in your face if you hail her again. Disconcerting as it is, press your second hotkey and she gives you the letter to take to Jeremy. Hit your third hitkey and drop it in the bottom-left slot. That is because I have a trackball mouse and you don't have to move the pointer if you have the windows lined-up when they open.. so that the slot in the backpack you place a letter will be directly above the GIVE button on the trade window. If you place your mousepointer properly, you only need to left-click and press escape as need be. When giving the letter for example, open backpack, pick it up, close backpack, and use your arrow keys to turn until the npc is under the pointer (leaving it anywhere near the middle of your screen is ideal). So just move the screen instead of the pointer. I was able to complete a full cycle of two letters in approx. 2 minutes. Do this 40 or 50 times, and you become apprehensive, then indifferent. Remember, dubious is a large range, the largest of all of the faction enumerations. Apprehensive was quick to pass through.. maybe 6 to 12 letters to Elishia.

Anyway, camo trick was nerfed. Can't sneak or hide, but maybe that still works. Wolf illusion is no longer an 'illusion' per se, since nobody's fooled. But once I hit indiff, Niola would talk to me, so I just set my bind point beside her then. Then I needed a friend who could buy the batwings from the female erudite in EC near WC.. Filled 3 ten slot backpacks, and kept another 2's worth, open. Gate. Hand in four stacks of 4 at a time. Don't try more than four per stack.. still counts as a stack of four. This can be multi-quested (I put in 3 stacks of 4, you put in one stack and get the xp and faction) so if you get down do 2 stacks left, give them anyway since they're cheap and if no-one already left 2 or more in there, they'll be there when you get back, and get down to your last 2 and get xp because of the time before. (phew)

Anyway.. This takes forever.. I'm now amiable to everyone (I think all of them.. likely no) but Farios (for the epic quest) won't respond to my hails. He stands beside Elishia. He is supposed to be amiable to you AND responsive b4 you give him the crushed pot. So I went through another 15 or so backpacks (150 stacks of 20) and still is amiable and not talking.. Going to continue, but its just annoying. Every 4by4 you hand in, you get back a scroll. You have to have a place for the scroll or else it slow syou down having to destroy it. Definately enable autodestroy for this..

Good luck,

I this part of the epic last night.

-Niola has to be apprehensive or better in order to hand in the Bat Wings. (I gave her 300 of them which was probably overkill) raised my faction to amiable

-Farios does not have to talk to you to hand in the crushed pot, provisions etc..

I just endured this same faction problem. A ton of wings brought me from Dubious to Amiable.

In doing the Bat Wings quest to raise this faction, my friend was apprehensive to Niola Impholder. Niola would not give the quest (and ate the wings). However, wolf form made my friend indifferent and she was able to hand in the batwings and get up to indiff, non-wolfed.

Yes, apprehensively as we woodelves are, those highelves treat us like dirt of the earth. It is a shame! Those stuck up elves forget to read the book how to be amiably themselves. All my batwings taken and still she won't aid "my kind". Hopefully I will be able to raise the faction to indifferent or amiably soon enough ...

to raise faction for the Keepers of the art I have been killing Kizdean Gix (I still need to probve myself before Alrik Farsight will give me the crushed pot) BUT killing Kizdean about 20 times got me from scum of the earth to Indiff. I would suggest trying that out.

In Nektulos forest on the way to Lavastorm, some Corporal something-rather attacks me. He cons green, so I fight back. The faction hits on him make no sense, if he's a dark elf, and if he's not, they still don't make sense. Take a look:

Raised:
The Dead (Neriak SK/necor guild)
Lowered:
King Tearis Thex (ruler of Felwithe)
Dark Bargainers (Neriak Merchants)
Dread Guard Outer (Dark elf guards in Nektulos forest)
Dread Guard Inner (Dark elf guards in Neriak)
Keepers of the Art (Felwithe caster guild)

This makes no sense to me. If this guy is a dark elf guard, why did The Dead go up? And Tearis Thex and Keeprs of the Art go down? And if he was a high elf, why did it lower Dark Bargainers and Dread Guard? Is this guy some kind of double agent? Anone know what the deal is with this guy?
RE: What the ???
# Apr 03 2002 at 4:09 PM Rating: Excellent
A very simply explained incident if you know folklor and Everquest history. First thing, this guard was allied with King Naythox Thex. As you may know, the Queen of Neriak and Neriak Necromancy, Queen Christanios Thex, hates King Naythox Thex because he defeated her minions in an arena duel long ago. Since you killed a guard of King Naythox Thex, The Dead, a faction under Queen Christanios, went down.

Now you might be wondering about how the Felwithe and Dark Elven factions oddly mixed up. Well, this guard is a High Elven spy of King Tearis Thex, so the Dread Guard, oddly enough, do not not know this. So, not knowing this, they dislike you for killing one of their 'recruits.'

Now, since you killed a Dark Elf, the merchants went down, thats a given. Anyhow, moving on, as I stated, the elf you killed was a spy from King Tearis Thex, if you kill his spy, he ain't going to like you, so thats how your faction goes down.

The final part to this, is that King Tearis Thex's location is supossed to be somewhere either in a secret platform in Kelethin or the top of a guild in Southern Felwithe. If you make King Tearis Thex mad, the Keepers of the Art people are going to also, that explains your KoA faction going down.

Its very odd what Verant does, but that is the logical explination behind this.

There are 3 necro's close to the zone in Neriek. I was Apprhensive and killed about 20 of them and now indiff.. They give keeper of arts faction and they have a fast respawn so i would recomnd doin them.. Just have a DE pull them so you wont pull the guards too. The necro's are X'Ta Tempi, X'Ta Timpo and X'Ta Tampi or somehting like that.. They are all lvl 40 with no pet's so not hard for a druid.. Hope this helps!

You could kill Dark elves in Neriak for xp to improve this faction. A lot more fun than killing Gix millions of times and not get anything from it other than faction.
