Second Part to War Supplier quest/s?
# Jul 16 2005 at 9:39 PM Rating: Decent
20 posts
As of a couple of nights ago the two war suppliers in Steamfont have changed. Tinkerer Vizzlescrap (in the necro guild) now says they've gotten more than half of what they need when he accepts an item; and Tinerer Sprocketsnik (with the merchants at teh base of the pyramid) says things are well on the road to getting the parts they need.

Both also have a new line of text added to their /hail responses: The evil gnome says he now has [bigger tasks] to do as a result of their success; the goody gnome says he has [special tasks] to do, but I've been unable to get either of them to give me the second part of the quests.

Has anyone else successfully moved forward with this?

Also, are there other ways to get faction up with the war suppliers?

This is a quick write up on the Gnomes portion of the quest for xp mod potions.

Head to Ak'Anon. Use the find tool to locate the War Supplier, Tinkerer Vizzlescrap.

Hail him, he will then send you to Izibat, a gnome merchant in Shadowhaven. Izibat will ask you for a robe, the higer quality the better.

In the room to the east of his is an erudite merchant Loensa Esorlinal. From her you will buy a Gold Jr Apprentice Robe*. You will then return to Izibat and hand him the robe.

Izibat will give you a Polished Alloy Cog in return for the robe. You will return to Ak'Anon with the cog and give it to the War Supplier, Tinkerer Vizzlescrap.

Tinkerer Vizzlescrap will thank you for the part and he will either give you nothing, or he will give you a random illusion potion, Essence of (illusion), or he will give you an xp potion: Elixir of Greater Learning, Elixir of Learning, Elixir of Minor Learning


With each turn in to Tinkerer Vizzlescrap you gain faction with the Dark Suppliers.

A few pointers :
-= When ya head to Shadowhaven, empty out your bags as much as possible, and load up on the cogs. The more the better, as it will save ya trips back to Shadowhaven.
-= If you cannot purchase from Loensa Esorlinal, there is a quest that takes about 15 minutes to complete to get the faction to do so located here. The reward for the quest is Amulet of the Haven.
-= Tinkerer Vizzlescrap is on a 30 second turn in timer. So you can give him 1 cog every 30 seconds.
-= Izibat is on a 40 second turn in timer. So you can give him 1 robe every 40 seconds.
-= The robes are lore so you can only purchase one at a time.

Bugglegupp does not appear in Ak'Anon, but in Steamfont Mountains. She (she is used very lightly!) is an ugly green troll that anytime I've seen is near the path near the PoK book leading to the newbie canyon. She drops the stone pellet everytime.

Hi, I LOVE Factions. I'm an Ogre Warrior, and I can goto Kelethin, Kaladim, RiverVale, Freeport, Neriak, Oggok, Almost anywhere, Even Akanon, But that's just to the guards. Once I get inside of Akanon, I'm KOS to all of the clockwork beasties, I've searched ALL over the net and the only POSSIBLE idea I have that might change me would be to bring up my faction with King Ak'anon, and hope it works. PLEASE post anything or ideas as to how I can bring up their faction. I have aimable faction with the gem choppers. So guess I'll try killing minatars. Thanx for your help. I'll check back frequently.

You're seriously bumming, as far as buying them yourself.

Have a friend buy them for you is my best recommendation.

It used to be that you could easily raise faction in Neriak with the red wine quest, but with the new changes unless your starting dubious it's difficult.

Raise the arcane scientist faction for FP, and work from there. Maybe, in your 20's go to Tox and raise the faction for Erudin.

For those Bertox casters needing to buy spells. Don't turn in your note for the newbie tunic. The one faction hit is enough to go from aprehensive to dubious with the Eldritch collective.

If you don't you can buy spells, and still train with your guild leader in the Mines.

omg, I hate it when people beg. First off, most people don't like this kind of blatant begging, and begging really ticks me off. Maybe in server, if you ask kindly for a plat or two to get you started is ok, but that is still pushing it.
Second off, I know someone down the line WILL eventually give you stuff, either because they are bored or just extremely nice. That part really ticks me off.
Third, if you are going to beg, which is rude anyway you do it, do it IN server! most people dont give a rat's ass about you and they wont write your character's name and get on EQ just to give you stuff.
Finally, begging and receiving stuff is basically cheating! You shouldn't be playing the game with the final intent of becoming high level without earning it! That takes all the fun away! This is exactly the same as buying a lvl 50 off of eBay.

Yes, there are evil trainers in the mines. If you chose The Plaguebringer as your deity, you'll need to train down there.

And that brings up a question I've not found the answer to yet....where do evil gnome magicians buy their spells? I didn't see any mage spell vendors down in the mines last time I checked, although there was a general purpose vendor selling shieldings, gate, and so forth. And the "good" mage vendors are dubious at best to Bertox followers, so you won't be able to do any purchasing there.

If I recall, Bertox followers are KOS to the dwarven guards as well, so going to Neriak won't be a possibility until you get to level 8 and get invisibility. And you're not going to get to level 8 as a mage with only Minor Shielding and Burst of Flame.

The various decaying skeletons in Mines of malfunction are much more deadly than they con. The necros near the entrance and elsewhere buff them as they go by, so they are esentially being powerlevelled! Also, if you're running from one and you get to the big skel near the entrance he'll go aggor on you.
The deffectives are nice, but beware of the skeletons.
RE: Beware - Mines of Malfunction
# Nov 06 2000 at 11:22 AM Rating: Default
The necros themselves can also aggro on you if you persist in attacking their pets. Also, the merchants down here won't sell to wood elves with default faction standings. Generally a hostile place for wood elves.

Greetings all, tired of the long haul through the mid to upper 20's? I have the spot for you.

First off you must have a way out of Ak'Anon once you camp this little gem. Second, once you get done here you can never come back due to the faction hits.

I started camping the Mechanic at level 27 with my DE Enchanter on Vallon. I had heard about the great XP here and gave it a shot.

He can be found by by following this route. Stand at the bottom of the ramp near the Bard in Ak'Anon. Face away from the ramp. Notice a bridge to the right? Take that all the way to the bottom. At the bottom you want to follow the wall to the right until you come to another bridge. Take this one as well, you will see a wheelbarrow across the bridge, and follow it to the left until you see two gnomes on a ledge. This is where the mechanic and a merchant stay.

The merchant is not social to the mechanic so you can attack with no fear, unless you are KOS to the merchant.

***IMPORTANT***
Do not let the mechanic run half way between the ledge and the wheelbarrow. Once he gets here he will jump in the water and port to another spot. Once there he will alert the clockworks that he is under attack. If he hits the water, gate out or if you feel lucky try to camp as the clockworks will destroy you at this level.

I took my ENC up to 31 here and made great loot in the process. I ended up killing the merchant as well in the end as he began to get even con to me and began to get KOS after I killed the merchant a few hundred times.

Hope this helps you get out of those late 20's blues.

I'm a 32 wizzy on vallon zek. I hunt this all the time and he does not port to anywere. All you have to do is if you see Him/Her going for the water. Jump in with it! it swims under the Falls to the other side. One time I had to case the Mechanic half way there before it died. However if the Mechanic gets to far from you thats when you may want to gate.

Actually, you CAN come back after this. It's easy:hunt minos. They give you good faction with the gnomes, and after a while you can even start doing quests again. I've seen even fellow gnomes camping these guys, then when theyre done they just whack slavers for the rest of the day; no sweat. Just make sure you have gate or some invis ability/spell to get out of akanon once youre done with good ol mechie here, otherwise youre screwed.

Bone Collection
# Aug 23 2000 at 5:14 PM Rating: Decent

141 posts
My gnome necromancer likes to use this zone to collect bones when he runs out. The mines are full of decaying skeletons that you can kill fast and easy for a quick pile of bones. There are two factors you need to keep in mind to do this. First, you must be absolutely sure where you are when you attack an decaying skeleton in the mines. Anywhere near an NPC and you are dead meat. That leaves plenty of places to attack, but just make sure you know where you are. Second, many of the decaying skeletons have been buffed with a damage shield. If you try to beat on them, you run a serious risk of dying first. It is pretty simple ot get around this if you remember that you're a caster. Just attack the skel, and if you take damage, stop your attack and cast something like poison on it and just stand there and let it die. Sure it might hit you for a few points, but who cares. I find you can collect a stack of 20 bones here in 20 minutes or so. Well worth it.

there are many unsolved mysterys in this city of water and metal.

1) the mysterious star "light" that seems to really be a switch that, when you click upon it, one can hear a door opening in the distance..however no one can find this door which is beleived to be the enterance to the clockworks dragon's lair/prison or the watery tomb of Erdil the highelvan hero that helped found the gnome state. The star light in question is located next to robot guide I right before the ramp to the grocers tower and kings castle

2) the symbol of Innoruuk clearly posted on the floor in King akanon's castle

3) the symbol of Innoruuk hidden behind an Illusionary wall in the building belonging to the Eldritch Collective (casters guilds)

4) the mysterious LONG underwater shaft at the end of the Akanon aquaduct that goes down and down and is a dead end...maybe

5) a King akanon npc that has been in the game at least since release yet seems to serve no purpose, give no quests and drop no loot..he also has been seen changing form from human to droid

Well..anyway this may just be the list of things to implement or whatever but they all make very cool mysteries and if one is bored of camping or hunting one might take the time to explore this strange enigmatic city
