Trizam N`Tan in the warrior guild gives the quest to return 4 Orc Pawn Picks to him for faction, money and occasionally an Item.

You say, 'Hail, Trizam N`Tan'
Trizam N`Tan says, 'And who do you think you are? To step into the Cauldron of Hate one should have the black soul of a warrior. For one to speak with Trizam he must have good reason. Perhaps you return with tales of [Deathfist agendas]. If so, then you are a year too late.'
You say, 'Deathfist agendas'
Trizam N`Tan says, 'Have you been spending day and night at the Maiden's Fancy?! The Deathfist orcs in the Commonlands are up to something insidious. As the inept humans in Freeport hunt down the warrior orcs, the pawns run about on some secret mission. I have been appointed by King Nathox to attend to this matter and hire young warriors who wish to [collect pawn kills].'
You say, 'collect pawn kills'
Trizam N`Tan says, 'Yes. You will. You need not know the reason why. I command you by order of King Naythox Thex to venture forth to the Commonlands and slay all the orc pawns you see. Return with four pawn picks and maybe I shall even reward you. Leave at once or you shall find yourself hanging from the Hooks of Innoruuk!'

Trizam N`Tan says, 'I instructed you to return with no fewer than four pawn picks!'
Trizam N`Tan says, 'I instructed you to return with no fewer than four pawn picks!'
Trizam N`Tan says, 'I instructed you to return with no fewer than four pawn picks!'
Trizam N`Tan says, 'So you have done your part to serve the King. As instructed, I shall reward your good deed. But I choose to reward you with provisions from the pantries of Neriak. They shall keep you strong.'
Your faction standing with Indigo Brotherhood has been adjusted by 10.
Your faction standing with Emerald Warriors has been adjusted by -1.

Did you kill orcs in Crushbone?

If you killed in Crushbone a lot then you're probably going to be doing faction work for a long time because Indigo Brotherhood goes down when you kill Crushbone orcs. Fixing that will destroy your factions in Kelethin and Felwithe, requiring even more faction work to restore them. You have to ask yourself if whatever it is that you are trying to accomplish in Neriak is really worth all that?

Hunt Orc Pawns in the Commonlands, or West Freeport, until you have 4 Orc Pawn Picks. Then turn them in

Trying to Raise
# Nov 27 2002 at 2:44 AM Rating: Decent
I'm trying to raise the Indigo Brotherhood faction. I am a Tunare High Elf Cleric, I have raised my Inner and Outer Dreaguard to dubious, my Dark Bargainers to Ally, and now I am trying to increase my faction with these guys. The only problem is, all of these quests reduce Kelethin and Felwithe faction as well, how can I increase faction with these guys otherwise? Oh, and can I even do this quest if he is scowling at me? When I did the Wine Quest to raise other factions the guy was actually only dubious to me and he was green anyway...can I do this quest? I'm level 34...if not, is there some other way I can raise my faction with these guys?

You can raise this faction with the newly added exterminator quest in Neriak Commons.

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2482

First, however, you will need to max out your faction with Dreadguard outer using these quests:

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=303

and

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=159

You might need quite a bit of help on the turn ins. A few stacks of Illusion: Dark Elf potions or a friendly high level enchanter with share illusion would be highly beneficial.

Sorry to say it, but to raise Indigo Brotherhood faction you have to make some sacrifices to your other elf factions. However, you can fix some of those factions by killing aqua goblins in Oasis or Ocean of Tears. I'm not sure of anywhere else. However, this won't fix any lost merchant factions. The Keepers of the Art are on oposing faction as well from what I recall. If you don't mind killing casters in Freeport, that will get at least some of your dark elf factions up nicely. I'm not sure if they give negative factions to the good elves or not however. Not sure how much it might help, but some info is better than none I suppose.

CB orcs

When you kill CB orcs u lower faction with these darkelfs , So if you trying to get faction dont kill these CB orcs
Faction has to be better than indifferent.
# Mar 15 2002 at 5:47 PM Rating: Decent
Tried this last night with my Troll SK (turning him invisible to hand in picks). Even my partner (a level 4 enchanter who was able to turn me invisible) was unable to hand in the orc picks being indifferent to the quest NPC (and he was *not* trying to do the quest while invis).

Both times I got the brush-off line:

Go!! Return when you have done more to serve the Indigo Brotherhood of Neriak... (yada yada yada).

Looks like I'll need to go find another quest to get above indifferent.

That is NOT true, invis still works to do quests at indiff, you just hafe to have someone recast it on you after you initiate the trade.

I believe Trizam N'tan is in the warrior guild in Neriak, the dark elf city. I wouldn't suggest you attempt this quest unless you're one of the "evil" races.

I have to disagree with a previous post about Human SK's. I have the run of Neriak as a Human SK. I'm indifferent to inner and outer after couple cases of red wine. Still dubious to Indigos. No serious faction problems so far in FQ, Commons, or 3rd gate, the Ogres and Trolls in FQ sell to me. I'm going to try the pick quest to get the indigo faction up.

Pretty sure the kunark factions like overthere and FV are completely indepedant from the ond world factions.
RE: better faction iwht guards in overthere?
# Sep 18 2001 at 4:30 AM Rating: Decent
I find it odd that the goons in Overthere have Venril Sathir faction, yet when they kill something they say "hardly a worthy advisary for a member of the indigo brotherhood". Beats me =\
RE: better faction iwht guards in overthere?
# Nov 16 2001 at 3:48 PM Rating: Decent
The entire OT outpost, save for one person, is VS faction, and not just the dragoons.

Think of this: How is it that a band of Teir`Dal are aligned with arguably the mightiest of the Iksar? Hmmm... was there more to the pact that Venril Sathir made with Innoruuk in order to cheat death than we know of?

this quest is not so good he didnt give me anything useful
Is this only quest for picks?
# May 29 2001 at 4:12 PM Rating: Default
These picks drop off about 1/3-1/2 of the orc pawns, it seems, both in Freeport and in EC. Even with something like 125 CHA, I am only getting 5cp for selling the picks, so it is pretty wasteful loot for anybody but DE's (heavy - 5; not to mention single-item-per-slot). Can anybody tell me if there is ANY other quest involving these picks? Much thanks.

I could be wrong, but for some reason I remember that the picks can be handed in to one of the tollbooth guards in WC. Also part of some larger quest. I think. Pretty sketchy though, i might be thinking of something else.

# May 21 2001 at 1:12 PM Rating: Default
Thiefofneriak.. the only other quest, I know of, that would give you some faction for the outer/inner guards and dark merchants is the lightstone quest in Southern Ro. Hope your not KOS to the Dark Elf merchant.. if not, maybe this can get you started. (shrug)
Here's one for ya...
# Apr 24 2001 at 8:41 AM Rating: Decent
Okay - recently began training up my Human Shadowknight (yes, there IS such a creature)so she can get into Neriak and atend to one quest (the letter quest), but noted the board posted this one as well (two for the price of one?)... the only problem is I can't get her across the bridge in NF if there's any guards (at elast one of them skrags me) and as for getting into the city? Hah! better try to walk to Velious at Level 1...
Can someone shoot me a tip or two on what to do?
ok ok, time for clarification2

Hi, i'm the same person who helped u on the <b> HALFLING RAIDER HELM QUEST </b> when being dubbious to them....(link is further down...) IF you are near LVL to camp the halflings that drop raider helms, then you can do this quest easy, after following what i said in <b> HALFLING RAIDER HELM QUEST </b> (link is further down...), once you get to either AMIABLY, or above INDIFF, u can do this quest remarkablly faster to get your faction up to a KINDLY considering, and u can also get these A WHOLE <b> LOT </b> BETTER than the halfling camps, cause orc pawns are all over, and u can always shout to buy some for cheap if (newbies digg this since they don't get much money for them by selling to a merchant) you have enough money that is,...so, just do that, and turn in till kindly considering occurs, then u can do the REGENT symbol quest for the CLERIC/SHAMAN ONLY, INNORUUK ONLY, HUMAN/DARK ELF/TROLL ONLY, +3 wis, +2 int, +5 ac (i think), CLINGING DARKNESS PROCING (lvl 15) necklace. doing the orc pawn/halfling raider helm quests, will make it easier to get thru to the guy to get crate from, in Lesser Faydark, cause you won't be KOS to the elite npcs there and it make for much more pleasant time in CB also :)

I am a troll Shadow Knight and KOS to the gaurd out in WC whom you can turn the picks into, so I thought that I'd turn them into this character instead till I built enough faction. All he does is tell me that my head would look good on the wall and I get no faction boosts or reward - how can I build enough faction to make this guy happy enough to deal with me? Ditto for the priest who wants the halfling necklesses?

collect lightstones and greater lightstones to do the caster research quest in south ro, that raises neriak merchants and dread gaurd inner and outter... that should get you to where you can do this I think. If not it will get you to where you can get other quests that will raise them
