Ace Slighthand may be found in the casino on the second floor of the rogues' guild Fool's Gold Inn at -61.97, -195.58, 14.19.

You say, 'Hail, Ace Slighthand'

Ace Slighthand says 'Hey, hey, hey! Welcome to the Fool's Gold. Don't bet more than you can afford to lose, pal! You don't want to end up like ol' [Kevlin]. If you're looking for something to do after you have a drink, you may be interested in a [task].'

You say, 'Who is Kevlin?'

Ace Slighthand says 'Kevlin Diggs. His family sells armor here in Rivervale. He has a nice shop right across from us here. But he owes us Deeppockets some [gold] that we need to collect. We can't rough him up because he is a friend of Mayor Gubbin. We need someone to steal it.'

You say, 'What gold?'

Ace Slighthand says 'He keeps his money in a sack on his bed. But he has a mean pet wolf, named Mangler, who mangled the last cutpurse we sent after it. If you were to wait until he leaves his shop, then sneak past Mangler and bring me the money he owes us, I will make it worth your time.'

Do as he says and bring him Kevlin's Debt. The coin spawns right on one of the corners of the pillow on the bed. You will have time to get it before Charlotte picks it up.

Ace Slighthand says 'Heh heh! You got a career ahead of ya kid! Good work. Here is your cut.'
You gain experience!!
You receive 10 copper from Ace Slighthand.
You receive 4 silver from Ace Slighthand.

"Charlotte Diggs picks something up from the ground.". And there is why its never there. I was the only one in zone and I didn't drop anything. Only thing I can see.

At least on Fippy. Plus I never see him tell the dog anything.

The coin seems to appears after Mangler barks and Kevlin tels him to stay off the table. Every other time I went into the room there was no coin on the bed.
Faction fix for killing Mangler?
# Jun 11 2002 at 8:05 PM Rating: Default
I only breifly read through this quest before attempting it, and overlooked the part about "NOT" attacking the dog. I killed him not realizing a shouldn't, noticed my faction drop substantially, and took the coin on the bed back to Ace Slighthand and he told me that I had to prove my dedication to "our cause" before he would help me. Is there a quest to raise my faction back up after killing the dog? If anyone can shed some light on this I'd apprichiate it. :)

You could also buy or loot your own Runnyeye warbeads from the goblins in Misty Thicket. If your faction is bad enough that the Sheriff doesn't talk to you, sneak up behind him and just give them to him 4 at a time.

When I was only level 7 or so, I upset Mangler and didn't know enough to zone to escape him. After running all over town with this dog gnawing on my leg, I killed him, believing that it was either him or me!

You could try the Bandages for Honeybugger quest in Misty Thicket:
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=657

and the Rebo's Carrots quest in Rivervale:
http://eqdb.allakhazam.com/quest.html?quest=58

If you are carefull and balance the amount that you do both quests you should be able to raise your DeepPockets faction without hurting your Merchants of Rivervale and Coalition of Tradefolk Illegal factions.

i am a lev11 hfl rog and have been in there five times and yet to see the gold on the bed, when does it spawn and how often?
RE: spawn
# Jun 16 2002 at 12:30 AM Rating: Decent
Make sure that Kevlin is OUT of his house when you attempt to sneak in. He periodically walks out of his house to do some business. This is when you walk in, sneak behind Mangler, grab the coin and zoom out.
no sneak
# May 27 2002 at 8:57 AM Rating: Default
I got the coin with my lvl 2 druid without using sneak or hide.. i just walked in and Mangler didnt agro at all. He did have his head stuck through the wall at the time, so maybe he was broke..? Or does he only dislike people who can actually complete the quest?

How often does the coin spawn. It never seems to be on the bed; I've tried it 3 times already.

The faction hit from the dog happens to everyone anywhere in the zone that attacked it.

# Apr 15 2001 at 4:42 PM Rating: Default
yes there is a faction requirement. for most quests in guilds you must be there class or have high faction with them to do their quests.

I tried the quest with a lvl. 1 druid. When I gave the coin to Ace he replied "I will not help people like you." Is there a faction requirement or something?

Sneaking

You can sneak passed the dog if you hide first. If you hide then sneak you are invis'd to everything.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 31 2000 at 8:41 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i am a rogue and i sneak in and then the dog chases after me. hes easy so grab the coins, run out of the store a little bit, and then kill the dog (he's just like a wolf). this wont hurt your faction either

dont kill the dog is really messes up your faction that guy is a meanie
RE: KILL THE DOG
# Sep 30 2000 at 7:09 PM Rating: Default
And the dog hits for more than a wolf, and has more HP, just hide and sneak, you improve skill, can beg til you get both, and get the debt!
RE: KILL THE DOG
# Mar 14 2001 at 1:28 AM Rating: Default
I went in as a 17th level Wiz, and got the Debt without knowing what to do with it, and got attacked by Mangler.... I walked out of the shop, and got almost to the Fool's Gold before I got sick of seeing him trying to attack me. So, I bolted him good and hard. Killed him in one shot, and I didn't see a bit of faction loss.... maybe it's just inside the shop?
