    Chanda Miller makes bear hide armor. The better the piece, the more faction you need to get it.

    You say, 'Hail, Chanda Miller'

    Chanda Miller says, 'Um... I do not know you. Please, um... Leave me be.'

    You say, 'Your brother sent me'

    Chanda Miller says 'Oh... Hello. My name is Chanda. Elina is your name? That's a nice name. My [brother] sent you to talk to me? You must want some bear... um... [clothes].'

    You say, 'Clothes?'

    Chanda Miller says 'I um... know how to make... Um... [cloaks] and [boots]. Oh yes! And belts! I love to make bear skin belts! Um... I really like [belts]. My [brother] says I have to start charging gold for my stuff, though...'

    You say, 'Belts?'

    Chanda Miller says 'Oh, yes, I like making belts! They are easy! All I need is a bear skin and 5 gold pieces. The bear skin doesn't have to be that great but don't bring me a ruined one. The gold was my brother's idea... sorry.'

    Upon hand-in:

    Chanda Miller says 'Oh... I see... But um... I still need the other thing before I can make anything for you... sorry.'
    Chanda Miller says 'Great. Oh, here, now I can make the... um... ok... here. Yes... good. I love making bear skin belts! Here you go. I hope you like it.'

    You say, 'Boots?'

    Chanda Miller says 'I know how to make boots. Um... I don't like them as much as belts. They are harder to make. You have to get me a medium quality bear skin and give me 15 gold pieces if you want some bear boots. They are really good, though. At least that is what Baobob tells me.'

    Upon hand-in:

    Chanda Miller says 'Oh... I see... But um... I still need the other thing before I can make anything for you... sorry.'
    Chanda Miller says 'Oh good... good! I... um... can make... Oh great. Here you go. I hope you like it. I always um... try my best. Tell your um... friends where you got your bear things!'

    Chanda Miller says 'I... um... can make... um... a good cloak for you. You have to get me a bear skin of high quality and my brother says I should not make them unless you also give me 21 gold pieces. I used to give them away but [Baobob] got mad at me so I don't do that any more.'

    Upon hand-in:

    Chanda Miller says 'Oh... I see... But um... I still need the other thing before I can make anything for you... sorry.'
    Chanda Miller says 'Oh, good! I can make you a nice new cloak now. Here. Here. Oh, this... It is a good one. Nice bear fur. Here you go!'

    Skins or Pelts?
    # Sep 09 2001 at 5:54 PM Rating: Default
    Do you need bear skins or bear pelts? I have mq and hq bear skins and ruined bear pelts but no mq or hq bear pelts. Can anyone clear this up?
    RE: Skins or Pelts?

    There is absolutly no difference between the words pelts and skins. repeat. There is absolutly no difference between pelts and skins.

    One of those 'oops oh well just leave it that way' 'cost too much to change it now' words during programing things.

    White wolf pelts

    I gave this guy HQ white wolf pelts and he only thanked me. Guess only regular wolf pelts work. It was my first time out of Everfrost.

    You have to give him bear pelts, not wolf pelts.

    I'm apprehensive with Chandra...will I be able to do the boots and belt or is better faction needed than that?
    use a human ranger mule character

    I figured out how to get anybody the bear cloaks.
    Create a human ranger character to do the trade.
    I tried like crazy to get a gnome wizard to do the trade by increasing factions by doing over 15 bales of hay in western karana, and the SOBS wouldn't increase their faction to me.

    Use a human ranger mule!
    I wasted two whole damn days trying to get the
    faction raised, and it didn't work. I have learned
    that the first character everybody should make is a ranger. You get tracking. This is so, because i wanted to track Karg Icebear in everfrost to get the better polar bear cape, one less ac but +15% against cold.
    were do you find her

    i cant find her anywere
    RE: were do you find her
    # Oct 08 2001 at 12:23 PM Rating: Decent
    They are usually found at the North end of Qeynos Hills, at the campfire, just outside the Surefall Glade tunnel.

    However, they are often hunted by high levels players, so maybe that's why you can't find them.
    Not enough faction? Only this to say, GNOLL FANGS
    # Jun 14 2001 at 10:57 AM Rating: Default
    Everyone knows about giveing gnoll fangs to Captin Tillan in the arena, most people know about moonstones and giveing them to whats his name in the bar. Turning in moonstones raises faction with Karana Residents, as well as a few others.
    These quests.

    If you chat with Baobob long enough he mentions his sister making armor also, basically you tell chanda that, "baobob sent me" and she gives you the line with the keywords for each of the items. "What boots", "What belt" and "what cloak" got me the rest of the info from her. If there are people camping the millers most of them will allow you time to get an item or two from these quests if you just ask nicely. Karana Residents is the faction you need, it goes up when you do the quests. I was able to get boots and belts at apprehensive and the cloaks at indifferent (use sneak or benovelance/alliance or charasmatic carrilion if you have any of these) but if you don't have the faction for cloaks then getting a bunch of belts or boots will eventually raise your faction. The bearhide armor is nice because it is better than leather and raw silk and the same AC as ringmail and any class/race can wear this stuff.
    #Anonymous, Posted: Mar 21 2001 at 11:04 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I WANT TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY YOU NEED TO SAY TO CHANDA TO GET HER TO MAKE CAPE FOR ME. I CAN GET THE PELTS EASY. I CAN GET HER TO TALK AND SHE SAYS YOU MUST BE INTERESTED IN BEAR SKIN CLOTHES, BUT I CAN'T GET HER TO SAY ANYMORE ABOUT WHAT I NEED TO GET FOR TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. COULD SOMEONE ELABORATE A LITTLE ON THIS FOR ME.
    easier than it looks

    Playing with my alternate character, Owin, an 8 Barb Rogue, I easily got all 3 pieces of armor, since bear pelts aren't worth much on Vazaelle. You only need to be lvl 2 to kill the polar bear cubs in Everfrost, not 8 like you need to kill bears in QH, plus I don't kill bears there anyway because of cross treehugger and holly. Just sneak and hide, or ask a rogue friend to do it for you. This would sure beat the cloth armor that my main, Iildiin, is wearing, and it might be worth selling someplace else like Felwithe to all the casters. Oh and also Chanda won't talk if hailed so just ask what cloaks, what belts, etc to get the requirements.

    She'll talk if you say "Baobob sent me", otherwise she tells you to get lost.

    Excellent information!
    RE: Chanda Miller
    # Dec 15 2000 at 11:48 AM Rating: Default
    I gave her a medium quality bearskin and the 15 Gold Pieces; was told I needed the other ingredient. Does anyone have an idea what that is?
    RE: Chanda Miller
    # Jan 09 2001 at 10:28 AM Rating: Default
    Faction is needed. She won't budge from dubious to me, and that's with a benevelance!

    The higher the faction the more you can buy, the lower the faction, well, at least she didn't attack you!

    Amiable or better, I'm betting, gets you everything she can offer.
    Excellent stuff!

    These things are excellent for casters. Though they may seem a little expensive they are all class and all race. They actually sell for more than they cost (bought a bear hide belt for 5 gold and sell for 6 gold with amiable faction to Surefall Glade) and better than raw silk which is the closest thing low levels can get. If you need faction just do quests from Surefall and Qeynos that deliver to West Karanas like the Nitrites, temple blankets, blessed water, and such.

    the best items for ac, weight and cost that you can get at low levels. Make sure you have good faction with wk residents

    The faction you need is with the Karana Residents and it needs to be fairly high. These Bear-hide pieces are outstanding armor for young casters in particular that still need to do a bit of melee.

    Couldn't make it work
    # Jul 03 2000 at 10:02 AM Rating: Decent
    I don't know what faction you need to make this work, but mines not high enough. Plus Chandra and Babob tend to be camped by higher level players so they can be hard to find.
