As well as being great for getting faction with Cabilis, this is a great and easy money maker for low level Iksar who started in Cabilis.
As a level 4 Necromancer, I got 7s ... enough to buy a spell! The only thing is you need to be careful not to over give bones as you need them as a Necromancer to make your pet.

Bone Chips
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Trooper Mozo can be found at -2555, +3565, guarding the zone-in to East Cabilis.
You say, 'Hail, Trooper Mozo' Trooper Mozo looks upon you smugly. 'And what are you? Some sort of adventurer. Bah!! You will be shaken by the first undead you come across. Wetting your pants you shall be. Ha ha!! I doubt you could even [kill the decaying skeletons].' You say, 'I can kill the decaying skeletons.' Trooper Mozo says 'You kill skeletons?!! I think not!! They will bounce you with no trouble at all. Ten silver says you cannot collect four bone chips!! When Velious melts!! Hah!' Hand in 4 x Bone Chips. Trooper Mozo gasps in astonishment. Wha...? This!! But... I... Why you... I oughts.. All right!! A bet is a bet. Here you go. A few silver pieces for your achievement. What?!! You thought I would give ten? Fat chance! Now get lost or I will haul you in for impersonating a froglok.' Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis could not possibly get any better. Your faction standing with Cabilis Residents got better. Your faction standing with Scaled Mystics got better. Your faction standing with Crusaders of Greenmist got better. Your faction standing with Swift Tails got better. You gain experience!! You receive 7 silver from Trooper Mozo. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Judging from my earlier post, I've been doing this quest on and off for over 7 years. Well just a few minutes ago I hit max faction with all the factions on the quest! As a wood elf ranger this took many tens of thousands of bone chips (estimating 40k). Strolling around Cabillis it looks like i'm non-KoS to all npcs other than the shaman guildmasters. I'm sure there will be others, but it feels good to finally be done with that quest!
Crusader Quarg in Field of Scale was one sadly - Ready To Attack. All the troopers in FoS capped out at Indifferent. Potentially Quarg could be under a different faction since his never budged during the questing. If not then it's impossible for a wood elf ranger to become non-kos to him through factioning alone.
Update: I had assumed Crusader Quarg was a typical NPC but after viewing his page from the link in my first draft I realize there was a lot of comments about his faction being a touch odd. Getting friendly with him is now on my list of things to do, but it seems that list gets fuller each decade :).

Bone Mask of the Ancient Iksar
Above mask (quested in FoS) will also provide faction boost to Mozo to allow bone chip turn ins.
I am a froglock Shaman worshipping Mith Marr, I was scowling before the mask illusion, and went to dubious with the ancient iksar illusion on.

I just finished turning in about 4000 bone chips (I want to try getting Greenmist for my Dark Elf SK), so I have some tips for how to make it go more quickly.
First off, the basics: raise your faction with Legion of Cabilis (the troopers) unless you can get an illusion to help you do the turn-ins. Clearing the goblin fort in WW is a good way to do this, and raises FV faction at the same time. I also killed a bunch of iksar bandits/lookouts/manslayers/pariahs, which raise both Legion and Brood of Kotiz (necros); the latter is hard to get any other way since the bone chips quest doesn't raise it.
But the tedious part, of course, is turning in all those chips. I've worked out a way to make it go pretty quickly, and since some folks seem not to know of all the tricks involved, I thought I'd post some quick notes on how to turn in 100 bone chips per minute -- and maybe even be able to still feel your wrists when you're done.
Most people already know that you can pick up a single item from a stack by holding down the Ctrl key while you left-click. So for a quest like this one, they'll bring some stacks of the item, then ctrl-click to pick one up, move the mouse, click on the NPC, move back and ctrl-click, etc. All that mouse movement really adds up, plus all the clicks are with the same hand, so that hand gets a real workout. It's a lot faster if you don't have to move the mouse as often, and if half the clicks can be done with the other hand.
If you look at your Options window, under Keys, category Commands, near the top you'll see an item "Use centerscreen". It's tied to keypress "U" on my boxes, but I don't remember if that's the default or if there was no default and that's what I chose. It's a marvelously useful command, but only if you're in first-person view, so switch to that before trying it. "U" uses whatever's in the center of your screen. It can open doors, open merchant and bank windows, trigger portals, and -- what's useful here -- open "Give" windows to NPCs (as long as the NPC doesn't have some other kind of window, like merchants). So if you stand with the NPC in the middle of your screen, you can ctrl-click to pick up an item, U to give it, ctrl-click, U, etc., then move the mouse to click Give. If you position the Give button near the stack of items it's pretty quick.
To make it go even quicker, I went back to the Options window and added a second keypress for Use centerscreen: I made Ctrl-U do it also. Then I taped down the Ctrl key! Then I had one hand clicking to pick up bone chips, and the other typing U to give them to the Trooper, and after every 4th U I had to move to click Give (which works even with Ctrl held down, thank goodness). The only delay was waiting for the first U to open the Give window, everything else was as fast as I could click. I could easily do a stack of 100 in under a minute. Then, I could either shift the Give window next to another stack, or I could click on something else in my inventory and drop it on the next stack of bones as a way of picking it up to move it to the first stack's spot.
You can really mow through the chips that way. Got up to "kindly" in no time, and dubious to both crusaders. Now I'm off to kill bandits for that necro faction...
Edited to add a point I'd forgotten. If you didn't know, there's an area near the wall, to the right as you face the entrance, where you can stand and give chips to Moto, and not draw aggro from the crusaders. Just hug the wall and edge closer to Moto until the Give window opens, and you'll be fine there. Though it can be nerve-wracking at first to watch Bodli and Quarg go scowling past!

this right here, is a quality post.
thank you.
thank you.
I used an Ornate Velium Pendant while in Iksar illusion on Crusader Quarg to get to threatenly, but I was still scowling to other crusaders. I used it on a different crusader and got to threatenly, but then was scowling to Quarg. (I am indifferent to Troopers, etc. even without potions.. warmly with the illusion one.)
No idea what faction Quarg really is, but its not Crusaders.

If you are, indeed, a ranger, then you can simply invis your way up to him, get behind him and use sneak... make sure to leave invis on until you are sure sneak is working (your character should start moving slowly and the button will stay depressed).
While sneaking you should remain indifferant to him as long as you stay behind him. You can turn in the bone chips all you like, just be sure not to hail him or he'll turn around and attack you. This is how I got my Vah Shir shaman to amiable faction in cabilis for the mini epic.

Quarg either has multiple factions, or is lower on crusader than the others.
Doing the bone chips, I got to warmly with all the others, and dubious crusaders. Quarg was up to threaten. But more chips, and eventually quarg went dubious.
My guess is that he has Brood of Kotiz also, which is the necro. Gained by killing the various bandit and exiled iksar. But you can raise the crusader part enough to not matter.

Interesting; as I was turning in bone chips (with no illusion; I slaughtered goblins in WW to get Trooper faction to dubious) I noticed that Quarg went from scowling to threatening long before Crusader Bodli did, and similarly I got to dubious with Quarg while Bodli was still threatening. But both of them did gradually improve as I turned in chips, which means neither of them is on necro (Brood of Kotiz) faction, since bone chips don't raise that one. My guess is one of them is on the Scaled Mystics faction and the other is on Crusaders of Greenmight, but it's hard to be sure.

I was able to use an Iksar Potion and turned in about 400 bone chips. Still KoS, but know that this way works.
I will get more and turn those in after I purchase some more Essence of Iksar potions.

As a Troll Casic Thule beastlord,How many bone chips would it take before I could move on to another faction raising quest?
Also has anyone tried getting faction with an Erudite Necro or Shadowknight; how did that go?

If you are a caster, you can invis until you are right behind him, then click <hide>. You can sit there all day and do the turn ins. Remember, tho - 4 chips = 1 point of faction gain. Be prepared to turn in LOTS! I turned in about 2.5K of them, but that only equalled about 625 points of faction boost. Great for the Residents and such, but I'm still threatening to the Crusaders. NEED MORE CHIPS!!!!!

You need to be non-KOS (Dubious and higher)
Or, if you have Sneak, you can position yourself behind Mozo, right next to the urn and turn them in at the maximum distance you can, so that the wandering Crusaders and other Troopers don't aggro on you. To get in that position usually requires Invisibility, but you cannot hand anything in while invisible.
The Trooper faction (Legion of Cabilis) is the easiest to gain among the Cabilis factions, by killing Sarnaks, LOIO Goblins, Explorers in LOIO, or the Iksar Bandits found throughout the Field of Bone and Warsliks Woods.

Iksar illusion, I have my enchanter illusion my gnome sk, with it he was dubious to Boli at first turn, and able to just hand in. Was indiff to Mozo at beginning, Crusader Boli was only one I was afraid of as he had chased me away from Cabilis a time or two before. My sk is up to kindly now with illusion, getting scowled at without it. Hoping to do greenmist eventually but I've just about had my fill of bone chips and turn ins, 2k+ in bone chips so far.

STOP Theorizing about possible ways to do hand ins. INVIS WILL NOT keep the 2 crusaders from agroing. I tried this myself and was killed... Thanks to the retards who put up wrong posts!! Oh well at least i can zez myself.

You can turn in the bone chips without agroeing the crusaders by either turning invisible or by positioning yourself as far away from the pathing of the crusaders while still being able to give the bone chips to Mozo. This way you do not have to wait around for most of the time to give the chips. Giving 4 stacks of 4 bone chips to make the quest quicker does not work. I tested this with a lev 1 iksar and the experience is exactly the same as if I turned in just 4 bone chips. You have to turn in 4 chips one in each give slot or you dont get the experience. If you put 4 chips in one give slot Mozo counts it as if you have given him one. Do not waste your time waiting for the crusaders to go away, and don't waste bone chips by giving Mozo stacks at a time hehe!
Yeah, I found if I started right in the corner behind him and slowly moved forwards until I could just reach him to do hand-ins, the Crusaders wouldn't aggro. Though they're light blue to me at 67, so maybe aggro radius is higher at lower levels.
Trooper Mozo guards the entrance to East Cabilis in Field of Bone. He is situated at the open archway that immediately leads to East Cabilis.
A safe way to reach him is to walk around the ruins and vendors inbetween his position and the rest of the Field of Bone. All of the NPCs and guards Cannot see-invis (including the skeleton pets of the two crusaders).
The difficulty of donating the bone chips comes from two wandering level 50 SK guards - Crusader Bodli, and Crusador Quarg.
These guys are not on the same faction, and there's some arguement as to what factions they are.
Both of them path right next to our Trooper Mozo which makes life dangerous. However both follow a static path which means that the hand in can be timed.
One crusader waits a few feet inside the entranceway to East Cabilis for roughly 5 minutes. Meanwhile the other crusader is inside one of the two ruined structures (depending on which crusader). The crusader at the entranceway then walks up the road, and turns into the furthest end of one of the structures (with the second crusader at the far end of his ruined structure). Both crusaders then walk down their structure and back up once. At this point the second crusader walks down the road to the position at the entranceway and waits for about 5 minutes. And so on in this format.
The best time to do the hand in if, like me and many others, you are kos to them, is to wait till the crusader has begun his journey up the road and away from the zone in.
If you do get agroed from the crusaders, the troopers WILL join in against you. They run at at least sow speed. However running into Cabilis quickly escapes them, and you will Not be close enough to agro any npc when immediately zoned into East Cabilis.
Hope this helps.

Turning in about 2000 bone chips on my 58th DE SK Innoruuk im amiable to troopers, ready to attack on one crusader and threateningly on another. Has anyone done this on a similar character? If so, can you give me a description? All i see here is monks and such...

Ok, here's the deal. You need to hand in about 8000 bone chips just to be able to walk into most of cabilis. However, you're not done yet. The necros still hate you. You will now need to kill thousands upon thousands of the various NPCs on the forsaken faction(bandits, periah, exile, etc.) if you want to be completely safe walking around cabilis. Oh, I'm also a DE Necro.

With all the new expantions and the fact the this game is so old (age wise) Kurn's tower is rarely camped by lower levels. When I go in to kurns and see one person there I will ask that person were he/she is camping and then avoid that area as I train the rest of the zone and mass slaghter for bone chips. I would not suggest this if there are lower levels in there lvling as your huge train will agro on them and kill them quickly. Just a sugestion for getting mass quanitys of bone chips for this quest. I filled 4 10 slot bags full of bone chips in about 1 hour training the mid and upper lvl of the zone...BTW the the furry guys down stairs also drop bone chips just not as many...
With the AA ability flesh to bone for Necromancers the price in Bazaar should be real cheap now. But it isnt.
If you need a whack of bone chips enlist the aid of a Necro freind with this skill or hire one. Head to Shadow Haven and right near the bank is a female halfling vendor that sells meats. Scorpion meat can be had for one silver making a stack of bone chips cost 2 gold.
Takes no time what so ever to produce the bone chips as the Necro can make a stack at a time. With the bank so close there is no problem runnin over there and loading up every slot you got.
To make 1000 bone chips takes no more than 5 minutes.

Thanks for posting this tip. I wish I had seen it earlier and so do the poor newbies I have been robbing of experience while AEing Kurn's Tower. Now maybe I can finish this quest off.

After killing sarnaks for hours upon hours, I decided to try iksar illusion potions. I've killed enough sarnaks that the potion makes the troopers dubious, but the SKs are still KOS. The potions are not much of a faction jump with Quel as a god.

Well I have turned in 7,640 bone chips and I am indiffeent to everyone except Necros and MONK GUILD , but the shamans are indifferent as well, I have read and was told that everything should be indifferent except Necros and Shamans. If this quest is to raise your faction with Swift Tails then it must be broke becuse after turning in 7,640 bone chips and I am still Scowling Ready to attack to them. If anyone have any idea on what to do plz let me know.
I just got Dubious tonight to the SK crusaders. I am still scowled at by most the other factions, but I believe that is the next tier.
My Faction was max on Legion from the start by killing mobs in various zones.
SKs Glared at me after 5200 bone chips.
SKs became dubious after 6200 bone chips.
Will update when I get more info.

My last desperate cry on the subject: I need to know if ANYONE has achieved better than indifferent faction with Crusaders. I dont care how many chips it takes...(well, i care, but in the long run, I just need to get to Amiably)
I've heard that a Dwarf Paladin (Like myself) on my server has done it with chips, but if a Rallos Zek warrior can't do it, it doesn't seem like a paladin could...hrmm. Anyways, if anyone knows for sure, please post. Thanks

Btw, Trooper Mozo always gives you 7sp now for each handin, so for an easy check on how many bone chips you just turned in:
bones = sp /7 *4

Once I became dubiously to troopers, I started to turn in bone chips. Yes it's easy to avoid the crusaders, just keep your eyes open.
For a human monk following Quellious, I became indiff to troopers at 1800 bones, and threatening to crusaders after 5200 bones.
Will try get another 2000 bones and see how things turn out.

update..
I'm at 6200 bone chips and Crusaders finally became dubiously to me. Also, Legion of Cabilis faction has maxed out, which is Indifferently.
Now just need a bit more so I can start doing the Monk shackle quests :)

Check in Bazaar for bone chips...could be a good profit......
I've been working this bone chip quest off and on for a couple of months. I gather or buy a few bags full, then turn them in four stacks of four at a time. I was getting four faction messages each time.
I turned in some chips a couple of days ago, again four stacks of four, but I was only getting one faction message. Has there been a change recently? Would anyone else give it a try and see what they get?
Turning in a thousand bone chips four at a time is a pain.

Trying to give while feigned says 'Trooper Mozo is busy', but you if you give 1 bone and FD, you can handin the rest.
Sneak works but it's a risky game. Mozo turns around regulary with a few minutes interval, and you don't want to be KOS to him them. Especially since they run faster than SoW speed.

First I'd just like to say a big thanks go out to that Paladin who posted the faction guide on the Paladins of Norrath message board. It was VERY helpful. I thought i'd send in my perspective of the quest.
These numbers are results from when i checked cons after I completed 10 slot backpacks of bone chips, so they may be slightly rounded. I turned in a few pincers and a few knives but not enough that it seemed to make much of a difference.
Here are the results for a Human Warrior who follows Rallos Zek.
4600 Bone chips -- Threateningly with both Quarg and Bodil. (didn't check other factions but i'm assuming they were as well since they all changed at the same time later on)
5600 Bone chips -- Dubious to Quarg and Bodil
7000 Bone chips -- Apprehensive to Crusaders, Shaman, Monks, Residents.
7400 Bone Chips -- Indifferent (and maxed) to Crusaders, Shaman, Monks, Residents, and Troopers (troopers maxed long before this during the quest)
Currently killing tons of Forsaken to get those unfriendly necros to like me.

This means one cannot achive better-than-indifferent faction with Iks Shd's if he's not an Iksar? How dissheartening... I've been working on a quest there for a year now and all I needed was faction. Hrmm, is there any way to get Amiable faction with Crusaders? Anyone?

If you don't already know about it, this quest raises your Crusaders faction beyond indifferent and is much faster than collecting thousands of bone chips.

The problem with this quest, and I have done a lot of these faction quests, is the drop rate of these knives. They don't drop often enough to consider this that good of a way to get faction. You're right though, the faction hits are awesome.
With AA's enchanters can project illusion and turn you into an iksar. Also, you can get potions with the effect of Illusion:Iksar that will turn you into an iksar. Be aware that the illusions fade once you zone (unless you're an enchanter with perminant illusion). While Illusioned as an iksar my Karana worshiping enchater was amiable to Mozo. Don't remember what my Cazic Thule Troll was with iksar illusion, but he's been able to complete the first 5 shaman cudgel quests without any faction troubles.
Projected illusions do NOT provide faction benefits. At best, you'd get the HP regen bonus of 2 HP standing / 4 HP sitting that enchanters do.

My Tunarian Wood Elf Druid is dubious with the troopers but still KOS with the crusaders.
How hard would it be to turn in bone chips to Mozo without running into a crusader? Also, does turning in bone chips lower any "good" factions?
I dont necessarily want to enter cabilis, but getting enough faction to not be attacked by any of the mobs on the listed factions would be great.
Thanks

If you stand far enough to Mozo's left, next to the tall golden firepot (and I mean right next to it. My Tunarian wood elf druid's feet were on the base of the pot), and give the chips to him from maximum distance, you should be clear of the crusaders. I still keep a wary eye watching for them returning from their rounds.
I've only seen one go on patrol at a time. While one crusader is patrolling, you should be safe for a couple of minutes to turn in to Mozo. Just keep an eye out for the crusader's return.

"That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo!"
I used to pull the half elf from Kaesora with my 10 shaman and let the 2 crusaders duke it out with hime while I turned in chips as my paladin, but you're right about the distance thing. It's SOOO scary seeing him walk by, knowing that if he attacked, I'd instantly have 4 NPC's on me who hit for double attacks and quads for up to 170 a hit and cast HT and spells (including snares) so I have my Divine Aura always ready.
So far, 4 bags full of stacks turned in. That's...20 X 8 X 4 = 640...according to the above post, I have quite awhile left before I'm anywhere NEAR my desired faction with Crusaders of Greenmist. F***'ing racist guards :P

Turning in chips here does not lower any faction anywhere else. It only raises your factions in Cabilis, so it is a no lose situation. (Assuming your faction is good enough to start with that the guard you give the chips to, does not kill you first.) ;)
If you were me and I were you, would we still be friends?

I also con indiff to Vekis, the necro that hangs out at the first falls in FV, i think she's on brood of kotiz. I assume that if she is indeed on BoK i got that high level of faction from killing forsaken faction wandering iksars, mauraders and the like.

I am a level 22 human necro who worships bertox on Brell Serellis. I got invis and conned trooper Mozo and he conned indefferent to me as did most of the guys around the gates. Isint this better than dubious to begin with? I havent done much to raise faction in this town (killed a few sarnaks about 10). Can I do the bone chip thing already?
Also I dont understand, when I have lots of bone chips do I give them to him four at a time or give him a whole stack at a time or the whole damn packpack. LOL Any help would be appreciated

Another reason why you could con indifferent to a trooper is having killed kunark goblins or sarnaks. Those raise your faction with troopers, but not with crusaders.

BEWARE! You're conning indifferent because you're invisible - if invis, anything that cannot see you will automatically /con indifferent. However, when you attempt to trade with him (to give him the bone chips), you will become visible. And if you've done no more faction work than what you described, Mozo will proceed to pound your soft fleshy human hide into the ground. =)
FYI, the way to hand in quest components is this. Pull out a stack of FOUR bone chips, and trade with him (as soon as you've done some more faction work, that is.) The first of the four trade slots in the NPC trade window will be occupied by that stack. In each of the other three slots, put another stack of four bone chips so that there is a grand total of 16 bone chips in the trade window; this is the most you can turn in at one time. This is true of any quest involving stackable components.
Oh, and watch out for the Crusaders. Even when you're no longer KOS to the Troopers, you WILL be to them :)

Tried giving the Trooper four stacks of four chips each and only got one faction message iso four. Verified that giving four stacks of one each (four total) gave one faction message. Thinking that maybe they only report one message when turning in more than one chip in a stack, I tried four stacks of two chips each and got one message and only 7sp. Bugged this.
Yes, this was changed in a patch, you can no longer hand in stacked items. You have to hand in 4 singles instead of 4 stacks of 4 each.

Bone chips are entirely too easy to get, who needs to pay 5plat per stack from a player selling them?
It's the same with batwings and fish scales. You can buy these in the caster's guild in Freeport.
Sure I might give 1plat(which is more than I can buy them for in Freeport) for a stack of batwings, fish scales or bone chips, but more than that is a rip off.

I beg to differ. Reading your post I check all of the casters guild merchants in FP neriak oggok and grobb and unless someone sold their chips, there are none to be had in any quantity.
Just a miscommunication as a result of bad grammar, the anonymous poster was refering to only Batwings and Fishscales being sold as main vendor stock... not bone chips.
But.. you can buy stacks of bone chips where players sell them back to vendors.

Beg to differ all ya want, I have over 8 backpacks of bonechips stacks from buying them(from vendors) whenever I see them. I save them for my new toons for the bonechip quest in Kaladim.
If you want bone chips, there is a much easier way to farm them....
I have an Erudite necro who currently uses bone chips like they are going out of style. I don't like to compete with my pet for Exp, so I just go after yellows and reds after hopping up the pet. Anyways, when I am running low on chips, I head to Paineel. The newbie skelies spawn like flies and you can't turn around without there being a handful of them within spitting distance.
The respawn is rediculously fast and the bone chips and rusties (for pet dual wield - nice not having to use expensive weapons to get pets to do more damage) drop like rain in the Karanas. You can easily fill a backpack in less than a half hour (10 stacks of 20).

The previous poster is 100% correct - there are no merchants anywhere in the game that stock bone chips as part of their regular inventory.
It's that simple.
Of course, it's certainly possible to buy bone chips from a merchant, as long as a player has sold them some....which is exactly what the previous "anonymous" said. But unless that happens, you're not going to find any in the Freeport caster's guild (unlike bat wings or snake scales, both of which are sold in unlimited quantity by lots of merchants).

There is one vendor with bone chips, a chest in PoM. You may have to kill several placeholders, but eventually a chest will spawn who has some INT caster research containers, periodots, bone chips and Decks of Spontaneous Generation for sale. It's a load of faffing around, but invaluable for this quest!

Sarnath is correct, also I believe you can tell the merchant doesn't carry the item as regular inventory when they sell only a certain number of the item ie you buy 3 bone chips then it's not listed in his for sale inventory anymore. This would indicate that some other player has sold to the merchant 3 bone chips. All other items you can buy all you want and they will still be listed.

I disagree. I have a 54th necro and don't mind paying for bone chips. It just saves me the time and the hassle of running around killing total greens looking for bone chips. And it helps the newbies out in the area's where most of the people hunting could buy all their next level spells for 5pp.
But my favorite thing to do is to quest for them. I would run into neriak, park myself at the newbie log and look for newbies with nothing. Make up a little story that I need the bone chips for my dark magics and tell them if they will bring me a stack I will reward them. I would give them the little almost junk items that are just barely too good to sell to a vendor, but not worth the time auctioning in Gfay or EC. I have probably given out hundreds of items like splitpaw hide gloves, sheerbone masks, giant snakespine belts ect... It can be alot of fun and really can make a newbies day to get an item that to me would be junk but to them will be the best piece of equipment they will get for 5-10, or more, levels.

Using 4 backpacks full of bone chips. This will power level a person from 1 to 9. Great to use for a buyer. Your skills really suffer but who cares, if all he does is buy items. Only thing to do next is work on Charisma items.

I'm an Innoruuk worshipping Dark Elf Shadow Knight. I've turned in approx. 5000 chips, and done the goblin watcher torch quest approx. 50 times. My faction with LegionsOfCabalis cannot get any higher. My faction with the CrusadersOfGreenmist is so high (amiably) that I can train in their guild! Residents and Banker are finally dubious to me, so I can bank. I'm still working on necromancer faction (still threatening)... BUT MY BIG CONCERN IS... the f&%k$g MERCHANTS. They started conning dubious to me ages ago, back when I was about indifferent to the LegionsOfCabalis (back around, oh, 1000-1500 chips..?). My faction with them has not changed since! What's the deal? Am I missing something here? Any input is appreciated.

I think I found the answer to my own question about the iksar merchants. I re-read this whole thread, and stumbled into a really good post from Drell:
"If the NPC is a merchant, you will con no less than dubious, regardless of your actual faction. This was a bug fix used to combat the fact that merchants liked to move away from their initial positions and no longer buy/sell. If you are intersted in your actual faction here, con the bankers, the scribe, or one of the NPCs outside the bank."
So that would make sense, esp. sincs so many of those merchants are outside the city where foreigners are apt to be. SO they fudged the faction so that I was 'dubious' to merchants, even though my REAL faction with the merchants was scowling, or threatening, etc. Now that I am dubious with the banker and citizens, I am *really* dubious with the merchants, and getting my faction up just a little more to apprehensive I should be able to buy and sell.
By the way, nice side note on merchants: I've discovered that some merchants are not on CabalisResidents faction... rather they are on their guilds. I am considered "kindly" in the monk guild, and one of the merchants in there will sell to me. The merchant in the SK guild with the over-50 spells will sell to me... and there's a few others peppered about the city.
I guess I have a few more chips to go to get to the point where I can buy food/water though... that's all I really care about at this point.

SO they fudged the faction so that I was 'dubious' to merchants, even though my REAL faction with the merchants was scowling, or threatening, etc. Now that I am dubious with the banker and citizens, I am *really* dubious with the merchants, and getting my faction up just a little more to apprehensive I should be able to buy and sell.
By the way, nice side note on merchants: I've discovered that some merchants are not on CabalisResidents faction... rather they are on their guilds. I am considered "kindly" in the monk guild, and one of the merchants in there will sell to me. The merchant in the SK guild with the over-50 spells will sell to me... and there's a few others peppered about the city.
I guess I have a few more chips to go to get to the point where I can buy food/water though... that's all I really care about at this point.

Here's a URL to the Paladins of Norrath message board where I first saw this entire topic discussed long long ago.

That message thread is very useful to anyone who wishes to bank and bind in Cabilis.

I'm a 52 agnostic dwarf warrior and I have turned in 193 stacks of bone chips and everyone except the necros con aprehensive. Actually, the Legion of Cabilis cons warmly b/c of hunting in Ill Omen from level 18-29 and a Chardok raid. I can now bank, trade with the merchants, and I have even trained at their warrior guild. Preety cool. I'm currently working on Iksar necro faction by killing bandits. On a side note, at the 100 stack of bone chips mark everyone but the Necros conned at least dubious, so I figure I only need to kill around 500 bandits so I'm not kos to the Necros.

I wonder if a Bard worshiping Veeshan could get the necessary factions seeing as Iksars and the Ring of Scale are not the best of neighbors.

Umm, the Ring of Scale is a group of Dragons that went against the true Dragons under Veeshan.
These include Trakanon, Vox, Naggy.
Most likely, you can gain Iksar Warrior faction pretty easily, but the Shamans and ShadowKnights don't like visitors. If you're a bard, you really don't NEED faction with the iksars.

Agreed, This is not a NEED thing.
There is certainly some wow factor from walking around Cab as a Half Elf but this does have the utility of being able to use the FirePots as a free Kunark port. Selos and Drumb makes foot travel quite appealing.

I just did this quest, and I can tell you the easiest ways to do this:
1. Be an Iksar. This doesn't help if your not an iksar. Duh.
2. Be a chanter. Illusion: Iksar is cool. If you are a chanter, you can help people by charming the guard you turn them in to.
3. Kill the *&^% out of Sarnaks and Goblins. Get good enough faction with the guards, but still be careful of the crusaders. If one is coming by, prepare to die. Or you could just run.
Hope this helps. Just like all the other posts, I just repeated the same info again. DON'T JUST COPY OTHER POSTS! It makes me mad to see pages so long and it's all the same thing. If you have anything useful to post, MAKE SURE IT HASN'T BEEN POSTED 400 MILLION TIMES ALREADY!

as a cazic-thule cleric on sullon zek that plans to hunt in karnor & HS, this quest is important..so i did it today...spent ~500pp on bone chips buying them @ 3pp/stack in FoB & kurn, and probalby got a 100 or so chips on my own from ganking skels on the way...
so now for the down and dirty party of the quest, turning the chips in:
1. get an iksar friend in your group to play 'lookout', or hire a compentant low level guy. have the lookout SPAM you with a hotkey that warns when a crusader is nearby, and get hte hell out
2. sort your bone chips into stacks of 4, and hand in 4 stacks of 4 each time you trade with mozo for efficiency...sort more chips while waiting for crusaders to go by
3. keep buying bone chips while you turn them in, you need alot
4. once you get to dubious to a crusader, con them all because some have faction that raises lower (the Q one mainly)..once all are dubious, you dont need the lookout
5. i basically spent ~10 buying/questing bone chips and got to indifferent...i expect a non-cazic player to take at least twice as long..
note- did @ lv47, also got 3 blue of xp total, tho sometimes i split xp with the lookout

notes:
1.when you get dubious you can bank in Cabalis but CANNOT sell (need apprehensive)
2. there is a wandering necro-faction mob (Gryphe?) that is near the bank area...he WILL cast a fear-like spell that makes every npc kos to you,so you best have sow on , and do your best to avoid the guy
3. at indifferent, the cabalis npcs have better prices than indiffernt OT npcs
4. traveling thru west cabalis (going to WW) requires you to run around the necro guild area but you can skirt around it without aggro'ing any npcs in the building
5. when you turn in chips to mozo & are still kos to crusaders..the best place to 'run & sort' is the hill to the NW (take a left coming out from cabalis)..if you're attacked you can zone into east cabalis...best to keep sow & hp buffs up (i even kept symbol on)..never was attacked because i had good lookouts

Let me tell you something. Unless they have changed faction in the last month or so, Cabilis faction can be a B**CH to get. As an ogre shaman worshipping Rallos Zek, I killed sarnaks in Overthere from around levels 32 to 44. Then would camp goblins on and off for hours. Finally spent a lot of time in Old Sebilis. I am now level 55. After camping the goblin camp for a couple of days, I suddenly got the message "your faction is as high as it can get" with Legions of Cabilis. I went and conned the troopers and I was 'indifferent' to them. Amazing. So at least for one race/class/god combination the highest you can get is indifferent.
God only knows what I have to turn in to get crusaders to like me.

Does a dark elf follower of innoruuk give you any bit of a head start with getting cablilis factions? I just want to know because it would be nice to be able to go to cabilis with a char other than my monk.
