are the knives NO DROP? an iksar who doesn't care a drop about FV faction could make some good money kiling the explorers and selling the knives to people to turn in for cabalis faction
Explorer Survival Knives
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Speak with Trooper Vaurk in the Lake of Ill Omen, about halfway bewteen Cabilis and the lake shore, at loc 4575.60, -3095.45.
You say, 'Hail, Trooper Vaurk' Trooper Vaurk says 'Have you been sent by the War Baron to [assist]? The explorers from Firiona Vie draw closer. ' You say, 'i am here to assist' Trooper Vaurk says 'That is good, I will stay here to halt any advances. Head out near the lake and destroy the trespassers on our land! Bring me four of their knives that they carry for survival. Prove your allegiance to the Legion of Cabilis. ' Not far from Trooper Vaurk is a large yellow tower, which was previously uninhabited. It is now occupied with about 6 explorers and a lead explorer. The explorers were extremely green to a level 51, had about 600 hit points. You have slain an explorer! Your faction standing with Inhabitants of Firiona Vie has been adjusted by -5. Your faction standing with Emerald Warriors has been adjusted by -3. Your faction standing with Storm Guard has been adjusted by -3. Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis has been adjusted by 1. Your faction standing with Pirates of Gunthak has been adjusted by 1. The lead explorer was a paladin, LoHed himself, and took quite a bit more killing, although still a pushover for a 51 warrior. We'll call killing him step 2 just to keep the factions clear. You have slain a lead explorer! Your faction standing with Inhabitants of Firiona Vie has been adjusted by -10. Your faction standing with Emerald Warriors has been adjusted by -7. Your faction standing with Storm Guard has been adjusted by -7. Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis has been adjusted by 1. Your faction standing with Pirates of Gunthak has been adjusted by 1. The explorers dropped ringmail armor, food items, and the occasional Explorer Survival Knife (stackable). They aggroed on me thru the walls of the tower even though I was a reasonable distance away, so lower level players should be careful to avoid the tower. Give at minimum 4 knives to Trooper Vaurk (I did not stack them): Trooper Vaurk says 'Great work, the Legion of Cabilis will not soon forget your dedication. The trespassers shall all be dealt with. ' Your faction standing with Legion Of Cabilis has been adjusted by 100. Your faction standing with Cabilis Residents has been adjusted by 25. Your faction standing with Scaled Mystics has been adjusted by 25. Your faction standing with Crusaders Of Greenmist has been adjusted by 25. Your faction standing with Swift Tails has been adjusted by 25. You gain experience!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have heard a rumor about these knives being sold in a No Drop form and still working with the Quest. The rumor stated that the Knives were sold in the Rathe Mountains. If any could ask around and tell me if this is true, please do so.
These knives are for sale in the west valley in Rathe Mountains.
From the central bug pillar go straight west into the valley. There is a tower with Shiznak and Gruilka on the south side of this valley, the merchants are near the north wall, and the Z bugs are at the west end of the valley.
The merchants are an ogress and two trolls. I expect they will not sell to most good characters (they would not sell to a barbarian shaman).
I believe the knives are sold by the middle merchant, a troll. The knives are no drop, stackable, all all, no stats. The price was about 6 silver for an ogre with indifferent faction and 42 charisma.
I have not tried to buy them in vast quantities, so I don't know if there is an unlimited supply.

The 3rd vendor is not there anymore... it looks like VI removed it
Wow, I have just gone and confirmed this, the middle tent is indeed empty, the vendor who was selling these knives a week ago is now gone. Boo.
i agree... BOO!
it would be nice if some things weren't always such huge time sinks

Its easy as orc stew to regain faction with the emerald warriors and the stormguard. just camp out in crushbone. er as for firiona vie it seems to me i can recall some way to fix that faction but it takes a bit more work than the other two.

camp Gornit in Ocean of Tears. faction change possitive to Firiona Vie and neg with the pirates when killing him.. plus u get a nasty good platinum drops from him too..
Gob kills raise it, so you could do these kills and lose some then make it back.
can a barbarian shaman worshiping trabunaal or a dwarf worshiping brell do this quest?
You would have to get your faction with the Troopers, or he will be KOS.

dude... what lvl is you Iksar Monk? a high lvl im guessing because to get all those Factions up you must have been a high lvl like a 50 or 40
Nope..can be done as early as the mid 20s. North Freeport, kill orcs. E/W FP..turn in orc ears in Highpass, which also gives qeynos corrupted factoin, while your collecting those ears you'll gain HK faction(from killing orcs). Good qeynos factions, gnoll slaughter, also brings up Halas. Neriak, wine quest in third gate (need some help, or a lot of patience for this). Kelethin/Kaladim, CB orcs. Rivervale..goblins.
None of these are that hard..granted it WILL take some time... also it's hard to balance neriak and kelethin out..but it *can* be done by level 25..i've done it.

Haha,
Take a look at the other factions that get blown by killing the explorers. People who use this quest to raise Cabilis faction will be shooting themselves in the foot regarding 3 other factions. Welcome to the wonderful world of Shunned Iksars. Granted, they still wont be hated the whole world over like lizards are, but it's a step in that direction. I find it very appropriate that they should lose other fairly valuable factions through this quest. (yes, i realize there are ways around dealing with these specific factions, but it's a start :) )

Fun concept... I'm a troll, I don't care about any of the lost factions =D GO EVIL RACES!

Posted: Apr 02 2002 at 5:25 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) stupid verant...just one more quest to the several dozen ways to get faction with cabilis. looks like they are really trying to open up cabilis to all the dumb softskins.
Religion will keep Cabilis dangerous for many non-Iksars even if faction is not a problem. My level 31 Eurdite Enchanter Agnostic has learned through trial and error that even with Illusion Iksar, the Benevolance spell and no unfavorable factions that he can still be KOS in parts of Cabilis since npcs can "see" that he is not of their religion. Illusion Iksar, etc. is sufficient to use the bank and many merchants, but it doesn't protect him if he gets too close to some of the more religious guild trainers. If he's in their aggro range, they will charge out onto the streets of Cabilis and try to kill him.
Even if faction is enough to get a non-Iksar past the guards and into Cabilis, there are still other problems to be dealt with.

Killing sarnaks and gobbo's will only raise faction with the Legion of Cabalis, the warriors of cabalis...there are other types of guards in cabalis, namely shadowknights...and if they see you and you haven't turned in 5 billion bonechips or survival knives they'll happily use a harm touch on ya, reguardless of illusion or mask.
Guildmasters etc also need faction raised with bonechips.
If travelling through cabalis as an enchanter i'd put illusion up, invis on, and stick to the water...i watched in horror and slight humor as an enchanter friend of mine was instantly struck dead by a harm touch while turning in bonechips for the faction quest and didn't see the coming crusader. He was 39 FYI, took one hit =p

i find it odd that you have a religous faction problem, i'm a half elf rogue with no god and an iksar mask and i dont have any problems there at all

It's possible that you didn't run into the right (and by right, I mean wrong, lol) NPC's. An agnostic DE enchanter friend, with illusion iksar, was dispatched pretty quickly by the Crusaders while we were selling the stuff from a Kaesora group. He was fine selling, but Quarg happened to walk past, and he was history. [:frown]
Every time after that, I would just locate Quarg before we went to sell (he's the only roamer who'll come upstairs, to my knowledge). Haven't had a problem with him since then.
Admittedly, I take a kind of perverse pleasure in the security of Cabilis, lol.

I dont know if you realize just how difficult it is for other "soft-skins" to get into your city. I have killed Iksar/Goblins constantly trying to build up faction for hours on end and had no progress whatsoever. If you took some time to think about it, you would realize that this was just something to spice up your little area for the mid 20's peeps to do with a small group. I think they should add more stuff like this into the game, because it gives you something to do. This isn't just a way to build up faction, because chances are that the trooper that gives the quest would aggro on anyone who hadn't taken the time to build up some faction. You are supposed to be stuck to your city, it's your job to hate everyone else, if you are choosing to role-play. Anywho, I'll stop rambling on....

Actualy Iksar is right the bandits are Iksar and give positive Cabilis faction.
more importantly, outcast iksar give faction with the Brood of Kotiz (Cabilis necromancers), something the gobbies and sarnaks don't.
