    General V`ghera says 'Life is indeed sweet! Thank you, ______, you have done me a great service this day. Take this, Stanos was kind enough to return it to me, and I have no use for it now. Know that you have the blessing of Innoruuk for this deed! But of course, I leave it to you to leave here alive. A leader has to feed his minions, you know.'

    Your faction standing with Fallen of Bloody Kithicor has been adjusted by 500.

    #Anonymous, Posted: May 04 2001 at 3:18 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) For a fight as hard as I've heard Stanos is (quad 585s with very low delay, immune to all spells), you'd need a pretty compelling reason to need to look like a wussy high elf. Sure, he's only a 32k health mob, so you can just nuke him out of the water with lures... but for that sort of work, I'd expect a lot better than another illusion toy.

    Hey....I believe that you hand in Stano's head to get the mask, I may be wrong but that is what it says. Take a look at his loot....Hand in the head of a lvl 45 mob that hits for only 90s and you got mask, Pretty damned easy if yah ask me!

    To turn in your head, use your rogue skills. If you can't spawn the Geranal, you don't have the skills.

    Yes, FSS is questable from Qeynos rogue guild.. someone should post it as it's a seperate quest.

    There's no way someone can pickpocket it, and more importantly, you will not see many guilds harvesting this. Stanos is VERY hard. I won't spoil the fight. You will probably see one or two select guilds per server being able to kill him.
    Agro?

    No way! I thought that thing was taken out of the game... hmmmmm
    #Anonymous, Posted: Jun 10 2001 at 1:29 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) the ragebringer does have an equip effect (seething rage) but no particle effect=P looks a bit like the dagger on the rogue persona logo
    RE: Alternately you can do this...
    # Feb 10 2003 at 4:27 PM Rating: Default
    Actually it does have a particle effect. If you look close enough, you can see drops of poison in the shape of little skulls :P You have to get real close tho.

    Yeah sure, they made his head pick pocketable so anyone could just go and get it with ease without having to kill him in order to get this unique guise.

    Yeah, as if.

    How would you pick pocket someone's head anyway, think about it. I'm pretty sure he'd notice...
    RE: Oh sure....
    # May 05 2001 at 5:39 AM Rating: Default
    Hehe, hey I've pickpocket'd Scalps off orcs before... tho they aren't the brightest creatures to grace Norrath...
    RE: Oh sure....
    # May 04 2001 at 7:17 AM Rating: Default
    Hehe, actually if he could notice anything it would be more like: "Hey, where did my body go?"

    # May 04 2001 at 12:01 AM Rating: Default
    Depends on your lvl and stanos' level... no rogue can PP any npc over lvl 45 until they hit lvl 51, then it goes up on a 1 per 1 basis. So, a lvl 60 rogue can pickpocket up to a lvl 55 npc. Now, call it a hunch, but intuition tells me that Verant wouldn't put him at such a low level...

    # Sep 02 2001 at 2:21 AM Rating: Default
    Umm...part of the rogue epic requires you to pp from two different guildmasters, both of which are level 62 (one de guildmaster and one dorf guildmaster). Friend of mine successfully pp'd both at 50 as a rogue. You might want to go research that again before you post, seems that your info is a bit off.

    I just pickpocket the notes and the Gms cons me dark blue. Btw Im a lvl 49 rogue.
    RE: Is the head abel to be pick pcketed
    # May 04 2001 at 3:06 AM Rating: Good
    He's lvl 63 and thus cannot be pickpocketed.

    That is very true but the above poster was wrong about his reasoning. I can cheerfully PP the scalp off of an Orc or the heart out of D'Vinn's chest. Were Stanos a ***** and his head not magical, it could have been PPable. It isn't though for the exact reasons you stated.

    Now, getting a General who is mellow enough to accept a quest item is an interesting task though. I hope the Rogue who plans on killing him for his epic is ok with playing around with such an important fellow.
    RE: Is the head abel to be pick pcketed
    # May 24 2001 at 1:59 PM Rating: Default
    Actually, his head isn't magical, so his being level 63, you'd have to be level 68 to pick pocket his head.

    That, and handing his head to the General is easy. The easiest way to do this, is to have a rogue working on their epic spawn the General for you, and you spawn the General for them (with your box).

    CoTH works well if you have to spawn the general AND turn in Stanos's head.

    Good luck!
