My virgin ranger started out as amiable to him now.

Someone mentioned doing batwing quest in south felwithe to raise Keepers of the Art faction, helps with Telin.

apparently my druid was not welcomed into conversation with Telin.

had to port to Freeport and give a dwarf a whole lot of muffins. uggg muffins

gave him over 2,000 (MANY STACKS at a time), ported back to Telin and FINALLY that wood elf spoke to me.

got the note


(no i understand that i did not have to give the dwarf that many stacks of muffins. but i figured i needed all the help i could get seeing as how Telin was ready to attack me cause i was very indifferent. anyway.....it didnt take that much time. and it was worth it since i am now an ally)

Went to talk to Telin as a 46 Half-elf Ranger. He conned as indifferent to me and would not initiate the 1.0 epic quest. I found out about the muffin quest, did that until Pandos conned ally to me. I ran all the way back to Telin only to have him con indifferent, still. Being as it was late and I was fed up with muffins (no pun intended) I decided to log out right there and try more muffins tomorrow. Today when I logged in I hailed Telin for funzies, and he responded with "Hello, wanderer."! Conned him, and he was ally.

If you have stuffed Pandos full of muffins until the dwarf is an Ally and Telin still cons indifferent, I suggest logging out and back in to the game. Saved me a bunch of money and time.

As stated below, and just to confirm, Telin responded to "What action?" to a Halfling Druid when I was no less than Kindly with him. I started apprehensive and worked my way up to Kindly. He would not respond at Amiably.

Halfling druid - started out with amiable faction to Telin. Turned in a bunch of muffins (inventory full as much as I could and I had tailoring stuff on me too). Got up to warmly. Gated back to Telin (so glad you can bind inside Burning Woods) and said "what action" and got my note. Guess my cabbage smells pretty darn good ;)

Turned in coin and got worn dark metal coin? is this correct? thought it was just worn metal coin that you got back.

Heya!

Found him west of the zone path to Sky Fire about a minutes run once u get around the corner. He's the only ranger epic 'turn in' character that isn't running all over the zone. If you need to find him for the quest just head to the skyfire zone and hit track. He should be on the list and pretty close to the zone.

A few nights ago we were staring to group up at the SF/BW ZL when from nowhere our DE cleric comes running by cause this guy aggroed her. The cleric didnt make it. Then I stuck a root on him and about 4 of us started whoppin a$$. This guy doubles for 180ish,doesnt cast, summons, and killing him drives 5 ( yes 5 ) factions into the toilet, but it was worth it.

My list of NPC's that deserve death got one shorter now.

Ok i know why there are less halfling druids then there should be. I just turned in 700 muffins 4 at a time and let me tell you its not fun. So if you are a halfling do the muffins b4 you go there the first time so you dong have to go all the way back. Ohhhh ya and he is located near the SF zone line just head towards it then track for him hes in the trees hiding.

Newly popped 51Ranger.....new POTENT guild.....geared down as good as I can be without farming til the next expansion, aaaaaand I did see something new - Telin broke into sparring with his 2 lil concubines and said I had inspired it. I waited.....I was advised after the sparring session that I ain't startin my Epic yet. Thank aaaaaaaal of you who posted faction info.....I'm goin muffin shopping to be higher than indifferent next time.....Peace and Love.....

After making one trip here and finding my faction to low for him to even talk to me I read a lot of the posting's here and set out to do the muffin quest in Freeport to up my faction. Many state that you need to feed Pandos 400-500 muffin's and Chalidhar (19th Druid of Tunare) even stated in January 2002 his faction with Pandos was only "kindly" before he started. Not wanting to take any chances, and make any more trips to the Burning Woods then I absolutely have too, I pumped Pandos full of those darn muffins.

Starting with a con of Amiable I feed him 100....still Amiable, 200.....still Amiable, 300......still Amiable, 400......ok now Kindly, 500........still Kindly, 600........woohoo now Warmly, 700......still warmly, 800......still warmly, 900........still warmly, 1000....Yea now I'm and Ally! Then gave him the last of the muffins I had on me totaling 1120 muffins all in all and a cost of about 7pp for the 56 stack's of muffin's. Not a bad price to pay to get this thing started!? Pandos hasn’t grown at all, by the way!

Now I know Telin Darkforest will talk to me, surly he will!? I dump everything I can into the bank to make myself as light as possible. The first trip I made my camo dropped and I had to out run a Mountain Giant, without creating a train. I did outrun him and managed to recast my camo and stay in the zone, never saw that Mountain Giant again. With one hit of 210 damage I didn't want to see him again. Ok so I made it back with out incident and I was right... he did talk to me. Now he says, and I took a screen shot of this by the way "Telin Darkforest looks at you consideringly and then turns away." "Aye, action must be taken but I could not allow you to undertake such a task. Meaning no disrespect but to work against such evil is no task for one of your experience. Set off for easier adventures." Ohhhhh....come on!!!

Sooooo...... as a level 32 Karana based Ranger, Half Elf with over 1K Hit Point's(Not that I think that would influence him) he still won't let me start the quest. Ok... so this is not faction based, as far as I can see. Is the change in this quest deity based, Karana verses Tunare? Is it class based, Ranger verses Druid? Or is it now truly level based like most people tend to think? Well considering like around the 4th step in the first section of this quest requires you to kill a level 50 mob "Darkelf Reaver" I tend to think it is now level based weather it was before or not.

On second thought this quest IS faction based but it IS also level based. You must have good faction to get him to talk to you and you must be a minimum level, maybe 46 as read below, before you will get the note!?

Hope to see some other deity based/class' post there CURENT experience with this quest. Good luck and happy hunting!!!
