I finally completed it today. The only reason I did the quest was because I already had a high poison skill. I'm not sure what i can really do with the coffin bottle (it'd be nice if store bought items could make stacks of good poison) but i sure did like that 100% wr satchel. I miss it already. I may make another since the trophy is only at 5/7. If I were just starting out with a rog I'm not sure I'd even do poison skills but we'll see how things turn out.
I'm not sure what renaorn's situation was below regarding not needing a 300 skil. I sure wasn't that lucky. Each time I ran out of poison stuff I went over to check the quest. 285, 291, 294 and yes I ran out at 299. She wouldn't give the quest till 300. I was really worried I would need 301. I always had the trophy in the ammo slot and never put it any other slots when chekcing the quest. I've since found out or was reminded that stat items in ammo slot don't increase your stats. However, when going from 275 to 300 the trophy evolved close to 75% in the 5/7 phase.
Like the others, I got the "lack the skills" msg until 300 then the another msg until faction got to warmly. I started at amiable and thought warmly was next but sadly found I was 2 factions away. I killed bandits and turned in gold pcs to Guard Shilster until I was done. I'm not sure when I got to warmly since I went to check a few times and she wasn't spawning so I'd head back and go through the cylce all over again.
I must of killed 8 cycles of bandits in W Karana, 4 in N Karana and turned in about 650 gold pcs for the 2 faction lvls. (Turned in as 5pcs at a time, other qty's and coins wouldn't work)
"Shilster spawns in the extreme NE corner at approximately + 1499, - 2736 in North Karana. http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=6658"
Just a note, since the potions all have the same icon I would advise being sure you have the right ones when you leave for Renux. Otherwise you may find yourself killing Scorpikis and yetti's for a bit. (What a bummer that was.)
