Gnoll fangs

[packmuleforlife]

As a barbarian what quest should I do with these, the Qeynoes ones for moonstones to give to that merchant fella, or the Halas ones?

[canker]

qeynos one for sure. much better xp from what I can remember.

[RahlaeRuffian]

I always thought the Halas one was better...just gotta watch out for the vengeful skeles on the way there.

As of a week ago, Qeynos was yielding about 3 times as much experience per fang. At level 5 I received about 10% exp per fang in Qeynos. In Halas I received about 10% exp per 3 fangs.

[Ciel]

the qeynos quest also gives a negative faction hit towards the corrupt guards there, which can kinda suck at lower levels if you plan on making qeynos a home for a level or two.

[fadetree]

Yeah, you will eventually start getting jumped by a couple of the guards, but they are lowbies and will be db or lb by the time they get mad enough at you. The other guards do not assist. Sadly, they also don't drop fine steel.

[mgellan]

Pretty sure you hand in Halas fangs one at a time and get 10% per fang, I always do the Halas quest...

[Flunklesnarkin]

I thought it was one fang at a time in Halas myself..


but on P99 its 3 at a time for one exp hit in Halas


but it doesn't ruin the evil guard faction in qeynos.. if you care about that.

At least a couple months ago when I was doing it. People were selling the moonstones to the merchant downstairs in the warrior guild. You can buy them, go over to McNeal Jocub, turn them in. Sell the booze back to him & cut most of your losses for buying the Moonstones. Easy faction & xp since that part of the quest doesn't have negative hits.

Biggest pain is the moonstones don't stack so you have to fill bags with them, Blackburrow Stout is so you can bulk sell it back at least to keep the coin at minimum.

I went from 12-20 in 4 hours from collecting gnoll fangs outside BB

Devs changed it to 3 at a time. The server it use to be one at a time, but no longer. If it were one at a time, I'd recommend Halas.

[fadetree]

Hmm sounds like they might have forgotten to also multiply the exp by 3.

[Kevlar]

halas was a lot better on live. Was 5 gold and 2-3 random items plus xp. Usually a plat per turn in. Here it is much less coin and seems much less xp as well. Halas was about double the xp of Qeynos on live. I have no idea what Qeynos is like here. On live the moonstones weren't worth enough xp to even move the blue bar. At least by level 5 when you could start farming fangs.

Found the patch notes that talks about the gnoll fang quest change in Halas.

It would be awesome if the experience was the same as Qeynos per fang.

How? It took me 55 fangs or so to get from 10-12. Without taking into account the experience difference between the levels, it would take at least 200 gnoll fangs to get that far.. Probably much greater. 4 hours to collect that many with no exp on gnolls..

I went 17-20 off 250-300 gnoll fangs in Qeynos so unless you're referring to the Halas hand in this math is wrong.

I have to admit, this seems unlikely to me too. Going from 11-12 for me would take about 3-4 stacks (I think). I can't imagine going to 20.

Granted there's xp penalties to account for but still...I don't believe it would affect it THIS much. Unless you're an Ikky SK and even then...

[fadetree]

Well, there's only one thing to do, HEAD BACK TO QEYNOS AND KILL ME SUM GNOLLS. I shall report my findings.

I will state I remember being surprised at handing in 9 fangs at like level 41, while factioning, for the fuck of it and still earning about 1/3rd of a blue...

The xp is insane for that quest.

I was talking generally really. I know it's much more than 25 fangs per level once you get closer to 20. But even at 25 per level, thats 200 to get 12-20. Farming 200 fangs, even though we all know it is more than 200, in 4 hours, how, is my question.

The other guards do not assist.

They should, or at least I recall being attacked by good guards assisting corrupt ones.

A quick look found from April 01: http://web.archive.org/web/20010417061034/http://eqdb.allakhazam.com/quest.html?quest=543

where someone said "i have deleted a 10th lvl char do to this quest. i even get attacked by the good guards if a corrupt guard is near by."

[fadetree]

I kind of do too, which is why I mentioned it. When I first started in EQ, I remember being sort of upset when all of a sudden I started getting attacked in Qeynos by guards, and SMACKED down by some of the higher level non-corrupteds.. At the time I really had no idea how faction worked in any detail, so I was all like dubbya tee eff.

[Flunklesnarkin]

yah the good guards should assist the evil guards... if they do not thats for sure not classic.

Maybe not. That may have been a weird side-effect of that odd bug where you could get the guards to fight the POD in various cities using charm, i.e. guards attacking someone based on some faction comparison check.
