Inert Potion Quest Link:
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=141

G'Day i am doing a Quest called Inert Point, it is a quest which gave faction by returning potion from point a to point b.

Currently in P99, After turn in the potion to the Fake Slansin ( it gives following respond Ha!!What a fool!! I have stolen another potion to add to the crate. I shall make a fortune!! The real Slansin is Back. Now it is time for me to leave.) and following faction

+Carson McCabe
+Coalition of Tradefolk
+Coalition of Tradefolk Underground
+Corrupt Qeynos Guards
+Crimson Hands
+The Freeport Militia
-High Council of Erudin
-High Guard of Erudin

which is exactly the same as the website description

Factions Raised:

* Carson McCabe
* Coalition of Tradefolk
* Coalition of Tradefolk Underground
* Corrupt Qeynos Guards
* Crimson Hands
* The Freeport Militia

Factions Lowered:

* High Council of Erudin
* High Guard of Erudin


But after some reading the message/comments from thous who have done the quest in live during classic period.

The quest reward in classic is a bit difference from what the website said / what we have in P99
there is a fake and a real quest npc ( Slansin - the npc we hand the potion in )
The Fake Slansin ( Rogue looks like Toresian Fhabel - the npc who start the quest ) can be spawned by saying "I study enchantment" to Toresian and Slansin located in Vial of Vitality with follow respond " Ha!!What a fool!! I have stolen another potion to add to the crate. I shall make a fortune!! The real Slansin is Back. Now it is time for me to leave. "

gave the following factions :

+Carson McCabe
+Coalition of Tradefolk
+Coalition of Tradefolk Underground
+Corrupt Qeynos Guards
+Crimson Hands
+The Freeport Militia
With No other faction lost.

The Real Slansic ( Enchanter looks like like a regular merchant )

gave following respond "Thank you" ( can't confrim that since people usually don't turn in to this npc, but someone said he will say thank you)
Plus Despwan after hand in..
and the following factions :

-High Council of Erudin
-High Guard of Erudin
And also
+Heretics
+CraftKeepers

============================================

since it is a popluar quest...there are alot of feekback at the bottom of the page which indicate and prove that the quest is working from Original up to at least 2007 ( i didn't check the message beyond 2007.... just too many of them )

[iamjack]

this is the last message i have read,


Stolen potion Quest is still working

You say, 'Hail, Toresian Fhabel'
Toresian Fhabel says 'Welcome, my friend! We are the Craftkeepers. We study the circle of magic called enchantment. What circle do you [study]?'

You say, 'i will study enchantment'
Toresian Fhabel says 'Then I welcome you into our circle. It is good to see new blood.'
This spawns Slansin down in Vials of Vitality.


You say, 'i wish to assist toresian'
Toresian Fhabel says 'Ahhhhh _______. Slansin used to have need of those potions, however he mysteriously disappeared long ago. The only person I know of who still wants them is a cleric of the Church of Marr in Freeport.'

Give Slansin the Inert Potion.

Slansin says 'Ha!! What a fool!! I have stolen another potion to add to the crate. I shall make a fortune!! The real Slansin is in back. Now it is time for me to leave.'
Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground got better.
Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk got better.
Your faction standing with Carson McCabe got better.
Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards could not possibly get any better.
Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia got better.

OK, this is what I was able to ascertain about this quest. First, you need Amiable in CraftKeepers to initiate it. "I wish to assist toresian" is the quote to get the potion.

Now, there are 2 Slansins. The enchanter in the red robe will give these factions:

+CoalitionofTradeFolkIII, +CoalitionofTradefolk, +CarsonMcCabe, +CorruptQeynosGuards, +TheFreeportMilitia

Nice stuff. He states "Now it is time for me to leave" but he doesn't.

If you get the real Slansin he will look like a regular merchant. I killed the imposter to get the real to spawn. Took about 2 hours. When you give him the potion you get:

+CraftKeepers, -HighCouncilofErudin, +Heretics, -HighGuradsofErudin

He disappears when you give it to him. Sounds like they have their quest a little backwards. Unless they read this post I'm not going to tell them. =P

Correct, easy way to do this.

In short... I goto erudin to con
Toresian Fahbel, the inert potion
questgiver and the guy i want to impress.

I am Dubious, and when hailed he tells me
i am lucky to still
be standing there alive.

Rats, need CraftKeeper faction. (erudite
enchanters) I leave
erudin, head to toxx forest.

Once i zone to toxx, i hug the right
wall until i reach the beach. turning
left, i follow the beach a few hundred
yards to the Kerra Isle docks. There i
find a erudite named Elial Brook, 5th
level paineel necromancer with less
than 100 hit points. Slay him for these
faction hits.

Factions Raised-
Craft Keepers
Crimson Hands
Deepwater Knights
Gate Callers

Factions lowered
Heretics of Paineel

Elial Brook is a 5 minute spawn and
will drop one Bone piece (not chip) at
every death. SAVE THESE, THEY STACK.

After accumulating 15-17 Bones, (for dubious)
head inside to the third floor of the
castle, to Toresian Fhabel once again.
Directly beside him is the Mage guild,
with a sign on it that says \"Tower of
the Gatecallers\". Proceed to the very
top of that tower, where you will find
the mage Guildmaster Markus Jaevins. He
gives a quest requiring you to hunt
down a escaped prisoner, (Elial) and
return his remains.

Give him One Bone at a time for these
faction hits.

Factions Raised:
Craft Keepers
Crimson Hands
Deepwater Knights
Gate Callers
High Counsel of Erudin
High Guard of Erudin

Again you will notice Craftkeepers
faction has been raised. Go down the
tower and /con Toresian Fahbel in front
of the mage guild. At amiable he will
give you the quest.

the quest itself is simple and can be
done pretty fast with a sow. Make one
hotkey with \"i wish to assist Toresian\"
as the main line and start playing
Gofer between the first and third
floors of the castle.

On the first floor you will find the
magic shop \"Vials of Vitality\". Inside
is a merchant named Slansin, who is a
spy for carson mcabe. He was
indifferent to me even tho i am low
dubious to carson, freeport, and corrupt q's.

Turn in the inert potion lore item that toresian
gave you for these yummy hard to get
faction hits.

Factions Raised:
Carson McCabe
Coalition of Trade Folk
Coalition of Tradefolk Illegal
Corrupt Qeynos Guards
Crimson Hands
Freeport Militia
High Counsel of Erudin
High Guard of Erudin

Factions lowered-
NONE!

Takes me 20 seconds to turn in one potion with scale of wolf on.

6. Verant strikes again. Upon giving the bottle to Slansin, you will now receive negative factions with HighConcilofErudin and HighGardofErudin. The latter is not very healthy since there is usually a gard next to Slansin.

Not nerfed, you just had the wrong Slansin. There are two different Slansin's, one is the "real" one (a merchant in plain clothes), the other is thebandit (dressed much like Toresian)
The bandit one is the one that gives the plus faction to the "bad guards"


(apparently that guy hand potion to real slansin, but ya it is still working at 2001 as well )

[Brut]

Wanted to do this one a bit to get Freeport merchants (coalition of tradefolk) up.. It gives no faction with CoalitionofTradeFolk or CoalitionofTradeFolkUnderground, just CoalitionofTradeFolkIll. Or does that count as both?

[astarothel]

http://eqclerics.org/forums/showthread.php?p=169018

Last post there mentions this

Evil Slansin is on CoalitionOfTradeFolkIll, the same as the "shady" merchants in Freeport. He will accept the potions and give faction at dubious, but not scowls. I don't know about threatening.

The 'easy' quests (Janam and Rebby) for raising CoalitionOfTradeFolkIll and CoalitionofTradefolk (the "good" Freeport merchants) also requires you have decent starting faction

Were CoalitionOfTradeFolkUnderground and CoalitionOfTradeFolkIll maybe the same thing? Or the prior was maybe turned into the latter, or the latter intended to be the former and simply misnamed.

[iamjack]

i think they jusy renew the name from classic....
but ya...in this p99 server it is call CoalitionofTradeFolkUnderground.
same faction...differet name form different eur

[Brut]

Still, no faction up with Coalition of Tradefolk - just the underground/ill ones. Allakhazam is claiming you'd get a faction boost with both for a turn-in.
