Frog rogue turned in Backbone, I turned in ONE AT A TIME... skull, then tendril, then the note. And he gave me the Mystical Lute Head. I conned Forpar Fizfla and I was Apprehensive.
I am a troll SK of Innoruuk, guards conned scowls to me. Tonight using the evil eye shroud I successfully charmed Forpar, after which he conned amiable. I turned in White & Red Scales and Metal Bits and received Mystical Lute Body. It can be done.
edit: I should mention that I first tried to do this without charm using a gnome illusion potion. It brought the guards & Forpar to threateningly. I was able to get the quest text from him by saying 'what next pieces' but when I tried to turn-in he handed the items back and said 'I have no use for this item'
Ok, I just did the turn ins with a Dark Elf Necro that MQ'ed, and her /con was Scowling. My faction was Apprehensively.
I Charmed with Solon's Bewitching Bravura. He resisted twice but it landed the third time.
I brought him outside and a little bit away to where the necro was standing.
Necro turned in her piece first, which was the Whip.
I then turned in the Backbone, then the Skull, and then the Note, one at a time. Yes, you have to turn the note back to him with the other 3 items you had to kill for!
He gave me the Lute Head, and I sped out of zone with necro, leaving him behind.
Hope this helps with any confusion others might have!
I did task with aluring horn and took it to BB and got letter for fopar took Fopar his letter, with bard ALT Turned in the backbone/tenical Bard turned in the wolf head
Nothing, not even a message, both toons where ally. Anyone able to tell me what I did wronge?
WTF is the deal...I'm tryin to do my epic and this pos reguards me as an ally when I con him....but he wont talk to me.."get out pesky half elf" is all I get from him....any ideas??
Edit: NM..got my epic and finished both turn-ins with him including MQ's from friends (thanks guys ) and he still wont talk to he..just be sure you turn in all ur pieces. Good luck to all you bards and good travels.
I wasn't able to get his quest response or get him to accept quest items, with or without alliance, until after I turned level 50. Only then did he accept my components and give me the lute body (I didn't need the lute head since an alt had one to MQ).
Being amiable with faction song wont cut it anymore. Charming him, he still cons apprehensive. You have to faction. He gives the items back when amiable.
OK i was little worried bout that hand in to this guy before i do undead bard . So he had taken my first hand in's so i decided to try the last one. At lvl 49 he said go kills some gnolls or something to the same effect. He had said this to me before so i shrugged it off and did hand in. This one didnt work, and he handed me back my bits all the scales the red and the white and the metal bits. Lvled up to 50 next night tryed again, got same responce after first hail with cha song in back ground. "Go kill some spiders first " something to that effect . So decided to try hand in. Sure enough he took it and gave me my piece. Off to kill the undead bard and i be swinging me first epic ever. Woots :) Good luck all of you .
conned dubious to me .. (paladin half elf) .. turned in my 2 parts of the MQ first and he said nothing .. bard turn in next 2 pieces and he gave her the lute head.
Just handed horn in at level 39 and got Forpar's List to Himself. Sang faction song on him to raise from apprehensive to amiable. Seems to be on same faction as guards, as they were amiable to me afterwords as well.
Not sure if Stinkas meant don't try handing the list back with the 3 items from the dragonkin, but for you young bards like me who are trying to get and early start on your epic, yes you can get the list at lower level than 50.
Isn't this guy the gnome that makes the lute for you? I want to know if this guy is KoS to human bards. Iv'e only hunted 2-3 clockworks in the newbie "pit", so am I going to be Kos?
When in doubt, your best bet is always to /consider him from a safe distance. If your faction is lacking and you don't have the time to improve it through standard means, you can try using the faction song on him, charming him, sneaking around behind him, etc.
A bit late for this, but if anyone still wants to know... Yes he can, a while back I had to charm him so a dark elf who had the Trak guts could MQ them for me.
Forpar must be a necro because he was in the mills in steamfont long before gnomes could even be SKs as for killing him i've never tried and only would if i had a full group of people, all he ever did was help me and steal my kills, i actually run to him with my SK and necro cause the gaurds never help

i watched this foo fear kite meldrath, the hero, both of mel's guards, and the odd looking kobold with the WW body that runs around by the mino cave. he is quite the little role model for up and coming gnomies =P
Yesterday I was lvling with my DE necro and feared a harpy just when darkness wears off. Never could get it to stick again and my stupid /pet back off didn't work. I knew what was going to happen. I ran like hell but had to go around him to zone. He ran out to kill the harpy, then killed the pet and went after me. I didn't think he new how to nuke but next thing is see is:
Forpar Fizla begins to cast a spell YOU have been hit for 793 non melee damage LOADING PLEASE WAIT!!!
one time isn't so bad but 2 times sucks. Word of warning when you make a hot key for pet back off don't put another command before it. Example
/say %m leave %t alone. /pet back off
doing a hot key like that won't work. You must put the pet commands first. Why is that.
Actually I don't think he really is a Shadowknight. There are plenty of high level spells that it could have been. He is lvl 51. The reason I think he isn't an SK is that he is on the opposite faction. He is dubious or apprehensive with gnome necros and sk's, but amiable to all other gnomes.
Also killing him raises your faction with the evil gnome faction (the dark reflection)
Well, even if Fopar cons friendly to you, he WILL attack you if you attack an elemental and are fighting anywhere close to the mills. Elementals are agressive and agro on anyone for any reason. Then Forpar comes along, and whack! Running to zone, thank god I had SOW.
Not true. Forpar wiped out a train that was following me, and there was an elemental in it. If you get into trouble, just run around the tower, and he'll wipe out monsters quickly. It's just a pain if you hunt too close to the tower, because he is a major kill stealer too.
I know faction is very important for those Bards doing their epic (like me). By playing around with my faction song I have determined that Forpar is on the same faction as the Guards: Gemchoppers.
This means if you've been hunting clockworks in Solusek's Eye you may have faction issues since that gives a Gemchoppers hit.
Several ways to fix:
1) Use Charismatic Carillion for faction boost 2) Use invis song and make sure you are invis (indif) before doing trades 3) Kill aqua gobbies or Mino's if you are KOS and can't get non-KOS using faction song. 4) *Unverified* Have a chanter charm him to make him amiable to turn in epic pieces.
