She would only tell my L54 Drakkin Druid that "I smelled" (LOL). I believe I was apprehensive) I went to Neriak (with Increased Superior Camo) and killed the Xi triplets three times for faction. They work out well if you time the guards since the Task Master thats also on the parapets doesn't react.
After that she was indifferent to me and would give me the Bat wing quest. It took me @ 600 wings (so 6plat) from the Dark Elf general Merchant in POK before she was amniable to me.

I know nobody cares, BUT. As a Magician...I have never used a bat wing. Considering this lady takes the bat wings (and a lot at that... my druid's arm hurts), I'm wondering what she's using them for. Lev rings anyone?

I suppose I shouldn't try to upset many Rangers or Druids. After all, she is the quickest way to faction.

ok, enough witht the batwings...never got bad faction hit with my drakkin ranger but it took 4,004 batwings to get max ally faction...(probably did not need max faction but at a certian point I wanted to know how many it would take). Needless to say my Hafling Druid will not be max ally.

Ty for posting reply's hun's. By the time I came back to this posting my boyfreind had same idea. He suggested use shroud rogue form sneak /hide till I am behind her take off hide and turn in wings. It worked great. DO NOT TAKE OFF SNEAK ! she will nail you lol. Also if you remove shroud form before completeing you must start all over again. I killed the dark elf in WC till I was sick then tried this. Turned in 30 boxes of wings to con ally, continued in rogue form until I aquired the pattern . Placed it in my bank before unshrouding and whala! it was still there. Some said it would not be available to me in my true char form but was. Did the rest of my turn , now EPICED , Woot!its over lol. Hope this helps those who trashed their faction as bad as I did. GL :)AKA Redhot ~ Enforcers Of Saryrn

Help plz
# Mar 23 2006 at 5:50 PM Rating: Decent
I am 56 human druid can't sneak or hide. Niola scowls and attacks no matter what we have tried. I used my hydra ~70 enc., pac and invised also 64 druid tried and as soon as I target with my druid her invis drops she attacks. I tried wolf form still no go .My druid hasnt't taken any faction hits with the arts either so when came time to do my epic I would not have these problem's. We did suceed on trying this before another Sony patch with another druid and no problems. I have all kills done just need to fix faction for TD I have also killed that darn dark elf in west commons till im sick of him . As far as charming NPC's I have lvl 70 chanter Niola cons red can't charm red hun so will not work on this NPC, I said what the heck worth a try lol I tried mezz and charm you cast anything but pac on this NPC , RUN ! or have a cleric ready for rez. After many bug reports/petition's still nothing. If anyone has any ideas toss them my way turn in's is all I need to complete my 1.0 epic.

2100 batwings and only went from aimable to kindly
RE: BORING
# Feb 15 2006 at 9:17 PM Rating: Decent
2100 batwings = 525 faction hits. Amiable spans 400 points, kindly spans 250. So it could take you another 125 hits (500 batwings) to get up to warmly.

A note to post for all of you interested in faction.....

http://pl-systems-server.plsys.co.uk/weblog/paul/Everquest/?permalink=faction.txt&smm=y

I just verified this :))))



NOW for all of you who have messed up your keepers of the Arts Faction (evil Linlara Parlone)

Shrouding down to a rogue - sneaking and hiding behind Niola AND doing the batwing quest works!!! Using the formula I found by this kind soul who posted this in combination with the above website got me to warmly QUICKLY comparitively :) Takes about 30 minutes for 1000 batwings if you go nonstop (they stack to 100 now) - (excluding the ensuing insanity and numb fingers) This post is wonderful and thank you!!!!: (4 batwings to one faction point)

2100 batwings = 525 faction hits. Amiable spans 400 points, kindly spans 250.

With many sighs of relief and one VERY happy mage who can once again go HOME without being killed! :)

100 stacks later ... i'm at warmly and Farios still doesn't respond.
kindly - doesn't cut it
# Jul 21 2005 at 11:58 AM Rating: Decent
I've finally reached kindly (about 70 stacks) and Farios still won't respond to hails *groan*
Since I can't start the epic (stuck at Faelin Bloodbriar), is this why he won't talk? Or do I need max ally or something stupid? heh
still amiable
# Jul 21 2005 at 11:38 AM Rating: Decent
Halfling druid... have turned in about 60 stacks of batwings so far. Started at indifferent and have been at amiable for a long time now :-/ and Farios still won't talk to me.

(Have received spell: flare every time)

Quest Dialogue & Faction Hits...

You say, 'Hail, Niola Impholder'

Niola Impholder says 'Greetings, Elenetulia. Welcome to the home of the Keepers of the Art. I am in need of spell components. Would you be willing to [fetch] some for me?'

You say, 'I will fetch some for you'

Niola Impholder says 'What I need are some bat wings for a spell I am researching. If you bring me back four bat wings, I would be willing to reward you with a scroll.'

Hand Niola Impholder 4 unstacked Bat Wings and you see the following...

Niola Impholder says, 'Ah yes. These are exactly what I need. Thank you very much.'
your faction standing with Keepers of the Art got better.
your faction standing with King Tearis Thex got better.
your faction standing with Faydarks Champions got better.
your faction standing with The Dead got worse.
You gain experience!!

You also receive Spell: Flare

Hope this helps a lot,

It may be possible to have someone charm her, then do the turn ins. A charmed NPC will con indifferent to everyone except the person chaming it, to whom it will con amiable.

I know I used a chanter charming the npc to do a turn in for the old Veeshan's Peak key. I cannot guarantee it will work here, but its worth trying.
dubious -> Amiable
# Jul 14 2004 at 5:50 AM Rating: Decent
I was doing my Ranger's epic and decided to knock out the easy part and hit up Alrik Farsight. Apparently my breath was pretty bad, no toothbrushes out in nature.

Anyways, I picked up 40 stacks of batwings in PoK and headed down to Felwithe and found Niola Impholer pretty easily. I started at dubious so I had to sneak to turn in the bat wings (I have heard that wolf form works for this, gonna wolf form my friend's Iksar monk and do this quest and post my findings, as a lot of people below disagree on this).

Since I had sneak on I conned indifferent the whole time. After 30 stacks (10 mins), I took off sneak to check faction and was quite surprised that I was at amiable already, since I had heard dreadful stories of 2000 bat wings to get from indifferent to amiable. I decided to turn in my last 10 stacks to see if I could reach kindly faction, but I was still amiable when I walked out. Oh well, at least now Alrik might like me enough to ignore my chronic bad breath.

Oh one thing I want to add... if you can fill up all your inventory slot with cheap 8 slot bags, it really helps in destroying the spells you get. It gets really annoying to have to put 1 batwing in each give slot and have to destroy the spell afterwards. I just destroyed all my bags afterwards (cheapo 1g bags, c'mon people get with the times) and never had to deal with this annoyance. I also gave some of the left over spells to some newbie mages outside of Felwithe who were quite greatful :)

If you have another bat wing in your hand, the spell will either go into an empty slot, or if you are full, will drop on the ground for ya!! Saves lots of time and you dont have to buy some more bags, hehe. GL with factions!!

is it possible to MQ this quest if she won't speak to you? create a character who's faction will be high (i.e. HE mage), form a group and have him turn in the bat wings. sometimes the faction increases for everyone in the group, would it work on this?

p.s. how are all you druids SNEAKING? i don't have that ability!

getting faction from this quest
# May 19 2004 at 11:26 AM Rating: Decent
I made the discovery today that you need to start this quest in wolf form. When I tried to do it as "myself" (46 half elf druid) she wouldn't give me any faction hits, and just kept repeating that she "would do nothing to help someone like YOU". When I wolf formed myself (being careful to target her, then go out of the room to do it, so that if she didn't like wolf's I wouldn't be turned into mincemeat) then I could get myself up to indifferent and then she would let me do the quest. As long as I remained in wolf form I never got any higher than indifferent, but after a bag and a half of bat wings, I was up to aimible to her and thus would now be able to do my epic.

I had to do this quest to continue my druid epic. She conned dubious when I started. Tried the invis, wolf form, being in a group with the person that was doing the turn-ins. I got nothing. Finally my husband got an alt out to cast invis on me for each individual turn-in and it worked. Took forever, but at least his alt got his casting practice in. After a while, I was able to do the turn-ins without the aid of an invis. Took hours and hundreds of batwings, but i got Niola up to warmly. It was enough for me to continue with the epic.

When I did this as a halfling she was indiffrent but that may have something to do with the muffin quest because when I did that I kept turning in the rest of the muffins I had on me as I am on a PvP server so factions are good to have there, so I just went ahead and turned the rest of the muffins in turned in about 1400 muffins (70 stacks)
