Figured I'd post some facts and data here on this quest since there seems to be a lot speculation and nothing written in stone.
1) Yes, the White Dragon Helm can be turned in for the Clawed Griffin Sword, which can be turned in for the White Dragonscale Boots. I can confirm this as of 7:30am July 30th, 2003 as I did it this morning.
2) You only need mid to high Amiable faction to do the turn-in. You don't need even close to max Ally. Lord Yelinak was indifferent to me this morning when I conned him, I used Collaboration (I'm an Enchanter, raises faction by 300), and he was Amiable and responded to me allowing me to do the turn-in. From what I understand, Indifferent faction range is 0 to 99, and Amiable is 100 to 499. So with Collaboration, I had between 300 and 399, which puts my faction range in mid to high Amiable range.
3) As someone else posted, if Yelinak doesn't respond to you, you're not standing in the correct place. You need to be standing under him, pretty much in his stomach to get the hail response. If you're in the correct place, you will *always* get a response of some sort. If your faction isn't high enough, he'll call you talking refuse or some other form of insult, if your faction is high enough, he'll talk and give you the quest.
As for gaining Yelinak faction, a few tips. I'm in a big guild, but not an uber raiding guild. I purchased my White Dragon Helm in the Bazaar. I've never gotten a faction hit from King Tormax. I was actually at max KOS to Yelinak when I started my faction work. I turned in approximately 300 to 400 Giant Warrior Helmets, Frost Giant Toes, and Storm Giant Toes to Lieutenant Milven. I did the Kromzek Mercenary Broaches quest about 60 to 80 times. I did the Kromzek Mercenary Captains Broach quest twice. I did the Liason/Eysa messenger quest about 30 to 40 times. I did the Cobalt Scar key once, which contrary to the quest listing, does *not* give any sort of faction hit at all. And lastly, I was part of a group that cleared King Tormax's throne room and all his guards once, so I got about five faction hits there, but none from Tormax himself. All of that brought me to Indifferent. So if you're not an Enchanter, you'll have to do a little bit more work. :)
Hope this is of some help to those working on this quest.

Lord Yelinak will not speak with you unless you are at least high amiable or kindly with him.
NOTE: If your faction is not high enough and you turn in the item, he will not give the item back to you. You say, 'Hail, Lord Yelinak' Lord Yelinak says 'Young mortal, I welcome you here, though quite reluctantly. I fear I may seem haughty or arrogant, and for that I apologize, however, young one, my trust is not an easy commodity to gain these days. There was a time when I would have welcomed you to these chambers and to my council with great honor, for the dragon kin speak fondly of your deeds toward them. However, the times do unfortunately change. Ages ago, like you, young Kragen Morshire presented himself. He too had earned the trust of the dragon kin and as such, I accepted his counsel. In the end, young one, his true nature shone through and my trust he betrayed. Perhaps you wish to prove yourself more worthy of my trust than he? You say, 'I wish to prove my worth' Lord Yelinak says 'Then as agreed, young mortal, I will grant you one chance to prove your worth in my eyes. The Storm King Tormax sits on a throne carved from the skull of one of our fallen within the city of Kael, which disgraces the mighty children of Veeshan. His life alone is a blight upon the children of Veeshan. Should you be a true patriot to our cause, I seek of you but one task. Should you succeed in this task, not only will your actions offset the balance of this war in our favor, but will surely take a step in driving the vileness of the giants from our noble lands. Bring me, young one, the head of Tormax, and then we shall speak further. Upon handing him the head of Tormax: Lord Yelinak watches as you drop the colossal head of King Tormax to the ground before him. You sense intense hatred within Yelinak as he stares down at the bloody remains of a descendent of the one who slew his mate. Obviously the death of Tormax has done little to console the ancient snow dragon. Finally Yelinak speaks, 'I look upon this face, and even though he is dead, the hatred burns on. My grief and anger are unchanged even in the face of ultimate fate. His grandfather's act was so despicable and all-encompassing that it instilled an. immortal loathing. Neverttheless, you have completed the task I set before you and, as such, you deserve my gratitude. Please accept this [treasure]. Your faction standing with Claws of Veeshan got better. Your faction standing with Yelinak got better. Your faction standing with King Tormax got worse. He gives you the Clawed Griffin Sword (Magic Lore item No Drop Slot Primary) : 2HS 38/43 10 str 15 dex 70 hp 15 sv magic 15 sv cold Effect : Frost Strike 1,5wt (War Pal Rang Sk /all) You say, 'What treasure?' Lord Yelinak says 'This sword is a symbol of our evolution and ancient heritage. Back when our feathered relatives were not so distant, a sword was forged and enchanted with the spirit of an elder griffin. This noble griffin bound his soul to the sword, the essence of his being honing the blade to an edge imperceptible to mortal eyes. Although our races have evolved away from each other, we still hold them in high regard. But if you think you are not worthy to wield this honor, return the sword to me and I have other tokens you may find of more use. If you give him back the sword: Lord Yelinak says 'I lost the scales that made these boots in a battle with Tormax's minions. The casters of the shrine gathered these fallen scales up and fashioned a very powerful enchantment into these boots. He gives you White Dragonscale Boots (Magic Lore item Slot Feet) : AC15 17 wis 17 int 85 hp 100 mana 5 sv Fire 5 sv Disease 20 sv Cold 10 sv Magic 5 sv Poison Effect Flowing Thought II 1,5wt (Cleric Druid Sham Nec Wiz Mag Ench /All) If you give him back the boots, he gives you : White Dragon Helm (Magic Lore item Slot Head) : AC 22 10 str 15 dex 12 sta 100 hp 60 mana 10 sv Fire 10 sv Disease 10 sv Cold 10 sv Magic 10 sv Poison Effect Endure Magic 1,5wt (All/All) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
