Make sure you get indifferent, or amiable faction, then do the turn in. Farios Elianos DOES NOT respond at ANY faction if you hail him. Just make sure you are indifferent or higher, then do the turn in.
So yea, I think I turned in over 4000 batwings to go from Threatening to Max allay. That ******* still didn't talk to me. I am gonna try the turn in but I am also petitionin cuz thats total bs!
My girlfriend is doing her ranger's 1.0 epic on an alt. Turned in probably about 1000 batwings, all damn day long. Still wouldnt talk to her when he was hailed.
Told her ***** it, do turn in anyway. She does, gets the grocery list, yay. One day wasted to bad programming. Beware, hope you read this post.
Killing X`Ta Tempi, X`Ta Timpi and X`Ta Tompi on city wall of Neriak Foreign Quarter helped get my drakkin druid to Indifferent. Then 1500 bat wings later, (Bat Wing quest) he's Warmly to Keeper of the Arts, but the bugger Farios STILL wouldn't talk, so at Amiably, just turn in the pot. Save yerselves a LOT of effort. :-)
what faction is he ON anyway? My Faydarks Champions cannot *possibly* get any better (or so it says every time I do something to earn said faction) and yet this bugger cons *dubious* ???

Done with a Halfling Druid with no adverse faction hits took about 8 stacks of batwings to get to amiable. Would not talk to me, but still took the crushed pot and gave the grocery list.
Just a note, need at least amiable to get the High Elf in Timorous Deep to talk to you as well.
I have been doing the batwing quest for over a month now and I can no longer raise my faction with Keepers of the Art. Farios Elanios still does not talk to me. I sent in a petition and the GM sent me a note that basically stated "Sorry about your luck but we cant help you." Thanks SoE! So I decided to take a chance and give the guy the crushed pot anyway and got the grocery list! (I figured if worse came to worse I could repetition for lost item and the GM would have to make contact with me and hear my gripe in person.) The moral of the story is if you at least con amiable try to hand in the pot. If it works great if not you can get it back anyway. Dont waste a bunch of time like me trying to get this guy to speak!

Found at same location, staring at his bookcase (from zone in, head directly to first door with vendors, then follow the right wall until the first right-hand door in hallway). Conned amiable, but ignored my hails. Just handed him the cracked pot and he gives the grocery list and related text.
I feet like one of those folks on the busy street corners who shove fliers in your face while you walk by. Don't recall ever handing one of them my shopping list however...
I hailed him, had no response, so I took the chance on giving it to him. And it worked! As long as you can do the first part with Farios I think this will be a breeze.
I am now further comfirming that he doesn't talk. I did the batwing quest until I was ALLY! Yes thats right, ally. You know the highest faction. He still wouldn't talk to me. Just hand it in I say.

The quest says "talk to Farious Elianos in Felwithe south. If he dont respond to you then your faction with Keepers of the Art is too low." This is incorrect. I did the batwing quest till I was considered warmly, and he still did not respond to my hails. I dont know how he should respond but I just gave him the pot and he gave me the grocery list quest. Should of tried that before spending 4 hours handing over batwings and destroying the noob-spells. Now if I can only find merchant nora, shes not on track in NFelwithe.
Yep, he would not respond to me, but still gave me the grocery list. My faction was apprehensive or dubious (can't remember) at first and the guy in Timorous would not speak to me. Had to do the batwings anyway, so I got amiable before going back to Timorous. He was amiable when I did the turn in.
Merchant Nora is in N Felwithe in the Shop of All Holos, if you are going there from S Felwithe, take the path on the right when you get to the cleric guild. It will be around the corner on the right, and she will be on the first floor to the left as you enter the building.
