SoulFire Quest

[Daldaen]

After remembering a bug fix made by Rogean, where you can now trade items to bankers (made due to LoS's epic ToV rot loot feeding to bankers), it triggered something in my memory.

Assistant Kiolna in High Keep shouldn't be a part of the SoulFire quest. The Key should go directly to Bank Clerk Jaylin. It is even mentioned on the Allakhazam page:

Allakhazam Quest (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=362&p=3#comments)

Due to a change in game mechanics, you can no longer hand items directly to bankers. Instead, if you hail the banker, she will tell you to hand the key to her assistant. Do so.

Infact the assistant NPC should not even exist until 2003:

The quest is fixed again. I just turned in the key. Right next to the banker in HHK they added a new npc named Kiolna. Turn in the key to this npc and you'll recieve the note.

In summary:

Remove NPC Assistant Kiolna (never classic)
Quest will always be turn H. K. 102 in to Bank Clerk Jaylin for the a Sealed Note

<3 classic mechanics.

Can't find the post, but Nilbog and Rogean said that the assistant should be removed once the bankers got fixed.

After killing her, her factions are as follows:

Neg to Merchants of Highpass
Neg to Highpass Guards
Neg to Carson McCabe

The first is the primary faction usually so she should be on Merchants of Highpass?

私は、あなたがチェックアウトするのを見て残念に思う。
これはあなたが私書箱 401 に持った全てである。
我々は、再びあなたに貢献することを望む。


Your faction standing with Merchants of Highpass got better.
Your faction standing with Highpass Guards got better.
Your faction standing with Carson McCabe got better.
You receive 2 Gold from Bank Clerk Jaylin.

Merchants being first makes me think that her primary faction should be merchants as well.

I think this one needs to be revisited.

Here is a link showing her existing in Feb 2001.

If anyone has more details about when she started spawning, we can make adjustments as needed.

That link doesn't appear to have any mention of Assistant Kiolna in it. At least not any in english. There are a lot of Chinese characters, logograms?, on the
page. I don't understand Chinese writing or I would translate it.

The current alla page has a mention of the assistant being added due to changes in the way bankers are implemented and that you can't/shouldn't be able to give them items directly via trade.

I've tried looking around for hints on when in the timeline that change happened but nothin yet. Earliest mention I've found of her directly is ~June 2003

Yeah not sure what happened here. I think was reading about this, and the page I was researching had a bad waybackmachine redirect I think, and I didn't check the page body again.

Kiolna will remain removed!
