Pandos Flintside may be found at +100, -615 inside Hogcaller's Inn of West Freeport and is on Faydarks Champions faction.. He's not on Find (Ctrl+F) but Trissa Whistlesong (Task Master) next to him is.

You say, 'Hail, Pandos Flintside'

Pandos Flintside says 'Greetings! Please move along. I am not paid to converse with strangers... unless of course you have a muffin or two..?'

Vendors that sell Muffins in West Freeport (7 copper):

Gern Tassel
Innkeep Evelona
Innkeep Palola
Innkeep Rille
Pincia Brownloe
Rashinda Elore

Give him a Muffin.

Pandos Flintside says 'Mmmm. This smells delicious. Oh great!! No milk!! Don't you have any sense?! Just tell me the name of the bakery and I will run and get it myself. I am sure Lady Shae will be safe.'

Your faction standing with Faydarks Champions has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with King Tearis Thex has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Clerics of Tunare has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Soldiers of Tunare has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Crushbone Orcs has been adjusted by -1.
You gain experience!!

If you tell him you got the muffins at the Brownloe bakery, he'll go there. As soon as he leaves, this ward comes out and will talk to you. This dovetails into the Hogcaller's Inn quest.

Trick for KoS due to PoG Farming

Since charming doesn't give faction, can't turn in while he's in combat, and invis breaks before handing in, there is a much simpler way to do this for anyone that can't hide. Do the Bat Wings quest first in Felwithe (https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=89). Turn in ~6000-8000 bat wings to get towards indifferent and it only requires Keeper of the Arts faction.

This will get you Faydark Champions faction required for Pandos. Then turn in ~3200 (~160 stacks of 20) muffins and you'll be at Ally with Soldiers/Clerics of Tunare. No need for fancy invis/lull/root/mez tricks. Just one quest after the next even for max KoS starting.

I just got my Faydarks Champions to ally in just a couple of minutes because you can apparently turn in the muffins in 4 stacks of 20 at a time. Goes by fast like that.

I've always found faction a fascinating part of EQ.

I went to buy spells in Kellethin for a friend's new druid. I was shocked to find the spell vendor was dubious (so I had to hide/sneak to buy the spells) and the Guildmaster was SCOWLING! Checking their factions I discovered I was SCOWLING with Soldiers of Tunare. While I've done my fair share of guard-hunting in my days, I don't recall ever killing any mobs on this particular faction.

So I went to EFP to do this muffin quest and was surprised that I was WARMLY with Pandos. Makes no sense if he's on Soldiers of Tunare faction. Maybe he just gives the faction, but isn't ON it? Which isn't the way it usually goes with faction. In any case I turned in 4 40-slot bags full of muffins and fixed this faction in 15 minutes. There's an inkeeper not far from Pandos (Evelona) who sells them for the bargain price of 7cents each so it's a cheap fix too. (No idea why I'm apprehensive with her, but she will still sell me, so no worries.)

And now I'm ALLIED with Pantos (up from WARMLY) so he definitely IS on this faction. Very strange. Can you be scowling with one toon and warmly with another, when both share the same faction? Do the OTHER factions they're tied to negate some of this negativity??

Curiouser and curiouser...

Pandos is on Faydarks Champions faction which is Kelethin Rangers.
While Pandos quest does increase Soldiers of Tunare faction (Kelethin Druids), he is not on this faction himself.

Hmm... I'll go back and kill him, if he can be cast upon (a big IF with merchants these days) and check the faction hits...

He's dead. And the hits were -10 to Faydark Champions, and -2 each to Clerics of Tunare and Soldiers of Tunare and King Tearis Thex.

So he IS indeed on these factions.

Curioser and curioser...

+2 to Crushbone Orcs. That's pretty cool. In theory you could level a low level halfling or wood elf which could then hang out in Crushbone safely... maybe. Have to check any other orc factions...

An NPC is only on one faction. The other factions are allies and/or enemies of that one faction.

No Faction for muffin turn ins
# Nov 08 2019 at 8:00 AM Rating: Decent
My guild just talked me into doing PoG as a HIE Enchanter and my faction dropped like a rock with all the Wood Elf Tunare factions. I was assured that in 15 minutes of turning in muffins, all would be better. I attempted to turn in the muffins and was KoS with Pando. I cast collaboration on him, no luck. I tried mez/memblur then invis, no luck. I then tried mez/memblur/collaboration, still KoS. So I finally charmed him and proceeded to hand in muffins. I got experience and the dialog about where's the milk, but zero faction. No Warriors of Tunare, Faydark's Champions, Clerics of Tunare, Crushbone orcs, Nothing, Nada, Zilch, Zip, Zero. So now I am KoS in Kelethin and with the clerics and Pallys in Felwithe. Not such a good scenario for a HIE Enchanter. Any suggestions on other ways to raise faction or should I just move?

get a few stacks of Cloudy potions, cast invis on yourself (normal invis, don't waste a potion) and walk up to him while invis. put 20 muffins on your cursor and get real close to him so he covers most of your screen, hover the muffins over Pandos....

with the muffins on your cursor click Pandos TWICE (first click drops invis, second click puts muffins in trade window) and immediately click a Cloudy potion to re-invis. place three more stacks of muffins in trade window for a total of 80.

click trade, check /faction.

EDIT: just tried the above method myself while KOS and it does still work, gotta be quick though and get lucky on server ticks so that he doesn't agro you in between mouse clicks.... that and you need a bunch of cloudy potions which are 10p a pop.

another method that you can try is handing in bat wings to Niola in south felwithe. she accepts 400 at a time (4 x 100 stack) this gives +Faydark Champions and +King Tearis Thex factions which are two of the factions that Pandos is on. however you need to be indifferent to Niola for her to accept the bat wings, she is on Keepers of the Art faction which you should be in good standing with as a high elf chanter, if not Collaboration should put you at or above indifferent. bat wings can be purchased in commonlands from Katha Firespinner

So hand in 2-3 thousand bat wings to Niola which should make Pandos tolerate you, then finish off the faction by handing Pandos a couple thousand muffins.

I'm a Drakkin Ranger and I've been giving Pandos multiple stacks of muffins. I spent probably well over 400 Plat on just muffins just none stop giving him them. When I consider him it says he is an ally but I receive no quest. I can't seem to accomplish anything I ran all the way to Felin but when I hail him I don't get the note and he ignores me. Lol any suggestions??

This faction correction quest is used so that another quest, that he does not give, may move forward. Wondering if that is the reason you started the muffin operation.

I looked over the Epic and it's pre-quest when you have to talk to Plagus he says something like I still have to prove myself to the guild. I didn't dig deeper into the Epic because I was informed that doing the Muffins For Pandos quest would jump-start the epic from Telin.

Telin begins the Druid and Ranger epic quests. I would guess that the post you read assumed that one's faction would need adjustment along the way. This may be true; I do remember that someone in my alt family (which includes both a druid and a ranger) did need to offer some muffins. However, this intersession does not otherwise move the quest along. To me, it appears it is time to go back to the beginning and speak with Telin, proceeding as he says.
Gaining faction as a Dark Elf

I just tried to do this with my latest alt, a DE (agnostic) magician, partly in preparation for the Courier of Favor quest run through old zones but mainly just trying to gain faction without causing any issues in the old hometown. I left it till she was Lvl 15 with over 900hp and over the 115 AC cap (twinked with the Orb of the Infinite Void as a 35ac shield). Trying to be clever with an enchanter alt was too irritating so I did this the simple way - for any new(old)bies wanting faction here's what worked for me:

Bought about 40 stacks of muffins in PoK, cast invisibility (Lvl 8 spell) and stood behind Pandos, clicked a stack on him twice (the first breaks the spell) and hit the give button - this took a couple to attempts to get right but I could get the 20 faction hits before the ones he dished out. Then hightailed it to the PoK stone with him and the unimpressed Lady Shae following me - as others have said the militia and vendors all ignored this commotion. Recast invis, then back to WFp and rinse & repeat. After about 9 single stacks I was able to hand them in 4 stacks at a time without him taking offence. A total of about 35 stacks got me to max faction.

Then for the next hour I sat on the orc spawn point on the patch of grass just outside and left of the gates with my pet killing DF orcs which spawned about every 8 seconds. About 1 in 5 were centurions (occasionally a blue L10) that gave +1 faction to Commons Residents, Ashen Order, Guardians of the Vale & Knights of Truth. Staggered across to Tenni Kohern in the tents to sell everything except the picks. Took about 10 batches of 4 picks to Tohsan Hallard in EFp and raised Coalition of Tradefolk, Coalition of Tradefolk Underground, Knights of Truth (all +4) & Merchants of Qeynos (+3) The Lottery Ticket.

I'd already killed a bunch of aqua goblins and bandits south of the Butcherblock docks, then using invis to get in to N Kaladin Bone Chips (Kaladim) turned in almost a stack of 1000 bonechips to get max faction for the Clerics of Underfoot, Kazon Stormhammer and Miner's Guild 249 (200 at a time then selling the reward loot).

Next onto Blackburrow to farm gnolls for Guards of Qeynos, Merchants of Qeynos, Jaggedpine Treefolk, & Silent Fist Clan (+1) faction before the HC Heritage started. At 15 I could get lots of XP from the higher gnolls and made a couple of levels quite quickly. If only I could get Wolves of the North faction easily I'd be happy but I'll need a disguise and probably that enchanter to hand in the gnoll fangs in Halas.

Try it KoS

Here's a fun trick if you are KoS to Pandos, don't have sneak and have a goodie friend to help.

Someone tag him and train him outside the city to the newbie area. Nobody seems to help him if he's in combat, but best to have the goodie friend do this in case there are other KoS wanderers.
Memblur (atone, etc) him once he's outside the gate and then hail him when he stops attacking. Alternatively root him and zone out and back in.
He's really aggressive to evil characters, so I had to lull/lament/pacify him in order for the evil player to get close enough to put a stack of muffins in trade without being attacked.
Once you have trade open, have your goodie friend invis you while you are adding more muffins.
You can stack turn-in items in today's EQ, so may as well put up 4 stacks of 20 each time.
After you have 80 muffins in trade and are invis and indifferent, hit trade and watch the faction roll in.

Repeat as needed, remember to hail him every so often so he doesn't walk back inside and keep refreshing lull.

PS I tried to 2 box and time an invis cast with the trade in, but could not get trade open without being attacked on my 49 DE Cleric, that's when I decided to use lull to lower his aggro range enough to open trade without being attacked. Charmed NPCs will take quest turn ins and give exp, but don't give faction, sorry. There are some roamers in revamped freeport that look like casters/paladins so after aggroing Pandos and not having anyone help him, that's when I decided to drag him outside the city. Wolf Form gets mentioned A LOT on faction quests but I think this only helps Iksars because being a wolf instead of a dark elf hasn't gotten a better faction with anyone I've seen. This doesn't hurt any evil factions.

You can now turn in as many as will fit in stacks at a time now. I'm not sure how big the muffins stack, but if they stack in 20, you can turn in 4 stacks of 20 at a time and get boatloads of quest turn-ins at once.

Directly Across from Trissa Whistlesong. Use /FIND. Then buy the muffins from any of the sellers and come right back here ~ with STACKS ~ and turn them in as stacks of 20.

Since you can now turn in stacks of quest items, you can get this done unbelievable fast. Just turn in 4 stacks of 20 Muffins at a time and watch the faction fly. It took me less than a minute to get to Kindly, turning in about 20 stacks of Muffins.

I am a Drakkin ranger, and I figured I would have to do the faction quest (natch). I noticed the faction hits you get with the muffin quest they are all identical in Crushbone except King Tearis Thex, so go to gfay and forage for your heartfruit, while you are there kill every cotton picking orc you can find, run through Crushbone a few times and slaughter everything ending with Emporer Crush. (Kill D'vinn just cause you bloody well can!)
I started out as apprehensive to the guards in Kelethin & Felwithe, after clearing CB 3x's I was amiable, took maybe a half hour if that. Had to go to Freeport to complete another quest so for kicks and giggles I turned in 200 muffins and conned Pandos, I was kindly.
If you can't handle doing 1000+ muffin turn in, here's your alternative.
The real deal
# Jul 16 2010 at 11:11 AM Rating: Decent
My lvl 65 ranger conned Telin Darkforest at amiably and he would not speak to her. She did this muffin quest and after 280 muffins stuffed into Pandos Flintside she went back to Telin and still conned amiably but this time Telin spoke. She got the quest.

So if amiably, 280 max seems to be the magic number to get Telin to speak to you. Amiably is the faction needed it just needs to be on the high end of amiably. Cha 283 with Unfailing Reverence buff and 262 unbuffed he still spoke after the 280 muffins.

Now go buy 280 muffins and feed Pandos Flintside till he bursts!

Ok as being a woody it took around 350 muffin's to stuff this fatty. To give me the faction from amiable to Kindly. Come on EQ put some more yeast in them muffins so that it can be done by the stack. Anyways hope this helps you out and your not eating muffins for weeks cause of extra turn in leftovers.

Time it just right and you can open a trade screen, invis, drop muffins into trade and click trade without getting agro.

Helps to have a chanter standing nearby to memblur if Pandos does agro.

Previous info of 67 stacks = dubious was accurate. I was near max KOS.

EDIT: 1452 muffins and still dubious.

My goal here is to fix Tunare Factions from PoG raids. Did some reading here and decided to try this two quest process. The best way to fix those factions is with the Muffin Quest...

So here we begin... Pandos hates me (Scowling) so I can't do the muffin quest to fix Soldiers and Clerics of Tunare. Pandos is also on King Tearis Thex and Faydark's Champions factions. I am ally to the Guards at Felwithe probably from all the orc killing I've done in my youth. but that still did not make a difference with Pandos.
So I figured if I can get two of his factions up to ally I may be able to get to Threatening at least.

I did some killing in Mistmoore to work on the Thex faction but still didn't get that up high enough there...
I killed the DE camp in Lesser Faydark to work on Clerics of Tunare Faction a little as well.. (This may have helped me reach the outcome that I did)

I came back here and read through more messages and found that the batwing quest was a good place to start working on Pandos' factions. so I bought 6 - 10slot bags full of Batwings... (100 per stack now) ane went to see Niola Impholder in the Magician's guild in Felwithe.
I was indifferent with her to start....

OK Here's the run down on Faction Adjustments as I turned these in to her...
I started off as indifferent to her...

200 Wings and I'm Amiable to her (50 Turn ins)
800 More and I'm Kindly to her (200 Turn ins)
500 More and I'm Warmly to her (125 Turn ins)
700 More and I'm Ally to her (175 Turn ins)
I turned in 800 more and factions still aren't maxxed.

I checked Elia the Pure on my way out of Felwithe and she was still Scowling.
I went to see Pandos and I'm now Dubious to him and am able to turn in Muffins.
