Collier may be found at -1170, -70, +83.

You say, 'Hail, Collier'

Collier says 'Make it a habit of walking into peoples rooms now do ya? Well seeing as I'm here on business I may have a [proposition] for you.'

You say, 'What is the proposition?'

Collier says 'I'm in the employment of an alchemist that desires some rare venom from this region of Norrath. I will reward you with a special weapon treatment if you can return to me with a venomous spikefish poison sac, an ancient poison sac, an ancient snake fang, and the blood of a necromancer.'

You say, 'What special weapon treatment?'

Collier says 'My employer has uncovered the secrets of the Bloodclaw and can reproduce the weapon treatment used in the forging of the legendary Stiletto of the Bloodclaw.'

He wants:

1. Ancient snake fang dam 11, del 30 procs weak poison - drops off Slyder in Stonebrunt
2. Ancient venom sack, Rogue only, charges 1 - drops off Slyder in Stonebrunt
3. Venomous spikefish poison sac - extremely rare drop off Venomous Spikefish in Kerra's Isle - Venomous Spikefish probably around level 15
4. Blood of a necromancer - drops off Heretic invaders in Stonebrunt

Collier gives back a "Thick Caustic Liquid" which is not No Drop along with the text reply to the effect of: "There is the weapon treatment I promised you. Use it in a forge with any standard forged weapon. Choose your preferred weapon carefully as there is only enough of the substance for a single treatment."

Reward varies depending upon which weapon you use.

After about two years of checking after every server restart, and killing a bazillion emerald adders to encourage him to show up with little success, today I finally found Slyder carrying the Ancient Snake Fang (probably the 5th time I've killed him) and made a Bloodclaw scimitar that my druid had been hungering after since he was in his twenties and needing a 1HS weapon better than a combine scimmy. Sadly it's 16 years late and not much good to him now ... but I really enjoyed killing that annoying snake!

Glad you finally got your kill!

Based on published hits, pretty sure he's on Circle of Unseen Hands, not Corrupt Guards.

Also: Could not get quest at level 14 (said I was too inexperienced)
Also: Could not get quest at dubious. I could get it at apprehensive.

Update to faction needed to get quest: He will give the quest at -250 (dubious) but not at -275 (dubious).

Exact Loc of Collier is -1170, -70, +83.

Also he is not listed in the bestiary for Erudin.

Forged Weapon

Where is he?
# Jan 24 2005 at 2:07 AM Rating: Decent
Simple question--Where is Collier? I have searched all over Erudin, the palace and the dock and there is no sign of him. Where does he spawn? or is this quest broken?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, he is indeed staying at the Vasty Deep Inn in Erudin. Use the Find (Ctrl+F) command to locate the Satchel merchant Luren Renthalis who is on the first floor of the Inn, take a right from her up the stairs and go down the halls till you reach a set of doors. He is in the first one on the right. From another post I made the mistake of assuming that he was an Erudite staying in Qeynos somewhere. Not knowing that the Vasty Deep Inn is locating in Erudin, I spent hours with my woodelf ranger trying to track him in N and S Qeynos and checking all the signs on the buildings looking for the Vasty Deep. No luck whatsoever there, I headed over to Erudin to try my luck and to my suprise what should I see to my left when I entered the city proper?!... The Vasty Deep Inn. Tada. Well anyway, after exploring the first floor, I head upstairs and who should I find in the first room I enter... Yep. Collier. Who it turns out is not Erudite after all, but a Human which would explain the warning about the Corrupt Qeynos Guards faction, which is why I assumed in the first place that he was in Qeynos somewhere, and for which he promptly beat the snot out of me for that mistake. And not havin very good CQG faction didn't seem to impress him either. Go figure. Anyway, that's my story and the moral of it is don't assume something because it not only makes an *** of u and me but it could get you your *** kicked and handed back to you too. =) lol and good hunting to all in your quests and endeavors.

Collier is staying at the Vasty Deep Inn. Be sure you have indifferent faction with the Corrupt Guards of Qeynos or he may aggro on you.

#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 16 2003 at 11:13 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Just one question, let's suppose I use a Centi Longsword, do I keep the stats and add the proc or do I get a Bloodclaw Longsword?
Triv?

Is there a chance of failure on the combine, or is it a no-fail?
Other Location for Thick Caustic Fluid

Ok, the Thick Caustic Fluid also drops from Dark Offerers in Castle Mistmoore.

It is probably easier to get from there than hunt down the 4 mobs needed for the handin.

# Jun 02 2003 at 3:23 PM Rating: Decent
Hate to bust your bubble -- But the NODROP Thick Caustic Fluid from Mistmoore is a different item than the tradeable Thick Caustic Fluid received from this quest -- and each item is used in its own quest and are not interchangeable.
#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 03 2003 at 5:25 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If you read the quest description above you will see that the Thick Caustic Fluid recieved from this quest is also NO DROP.

"Collier gives back a "Thick Caustic Fluid" which is not No Drop along with the text reply "

There is a "not" behind the "NO DROP"

If people would just pay attention to the wording in the quest walkthrough, you'd see that what you get back isn't "Thick Caustic Fluid", but "Thick Caustic Liquid." The fluid is for the Warden Symbol of Tunare quest, the second is for the Bloodclaw weapons.

LoY weapons?
# May 31 2003 at 12:44 PM Rating: Default
Since the stuff you get in Dulak are all forged weapons, I wonder if they would work. I will have to test this out.

Forged
# May 30 2003 at 9:06 PM Rating: Default
Standard forged mostlikely means the original weapons tradeskillers could make. Not racial or special (black acrylia, fire tempered, tae ew etc.).
forged weapon?
# May 30 2003 at 5:24 PM Rating: Default
This may sound like a stupid question but what does he mean by forged? Made weapon or could a fine steel dropped weapon suffice as long as it doesn't have stats etc.?
RE: forged weapon?
# May 30 2003 at 5:53 PM Rating: Default
If it comes to that...some forged weapons do have stats. Think about combining a proc on something with actually decent stats. Forged is anything that is shaped with melted metal in hopefully a forge. Magical items shouldn't be excluded...
RE: forged weapon?
# Jun 01 2003 at 6:51 AM Rating: Excellent
I think Forged weapon in this context means a weapon made by players using the Smithing tradeskill.
