Corrupt Qeynos Guards
 

There is Guards of Qeynos Faction and Corrupt Qeynos Guards Faction, the guards in West Karana, for example: Guard McCluskey in the tower near the water. [Face Qeynos Hills and hug your wall on left] are suppose to be Corrupt, but when you con them and kill them its as they are on Guards of Qeynos faction, when they should be on Corrupt.

To further prove it, I killed Guard McCluskey and looted "Guard Bracer", it is turned into Captain Linarius at the top of North Karana tower at the bridge for exp, faction and crap reward. When turning in the bracer you recieve + Guards of Qeynos -Corrupt Guards which is functioning properly, even though you get -Guards of Qeynos and +Corrupt Guards to get the actual bracer.

It appears there is no corrupt guards to be killed in the Karanas because they are all on the same faction as good guards.

Not only killing the guards was somewhat decent exp but the possitive side to it was turning in the bracer for exp which was almost better then the guards itself. Turning in the bracer didnt even give me 1% exp at level 46, when the guards con blue to kill. Seems it needs to be boosted just like the RunnyEye Warbeads in Rivervale had to be.

Also both links for the Guard and Captain have posts dating back to 2000, pretty rare considering most are 2001+ !

Can I get a dev. reply that its at least been looked at?

Bump.

This poster is correct. All Qeynos guards (save Lt. Dagnarok, who uses bloodsaber faction) /consider the same, with normal guards and corrupt guards not having any difference.

I don't recall very many cases on live where a simple item drop turn in quest would net a visible exp reward at high levels, especially not at 46. (exceptions would include Tumpy Tonics but even that involved a bigger time sink and travel)

Usually by that point quests are merely done for the item reward or the faction boost, but exp quests? Is that really how it was on live? With the mob and the turn in location being that close?

I'm not doubting necessarily, just shocked.

Bump in hopes for some reply by a dev? Just so I know its been possibly looked into?

Bump.

Can anyone provide me a list of names of the guards that should be on corrupt Qeynos faction (especially those with regards to dropping the bracelet)

Note-to-self: NPC_Faction_ID#2494

Get me a list of NPC names and zones they occupy, and we can add Lt. Dagnarok (or whatever) faction ID# to the corrupt guards.

this might help

Not exactly. A lot of those NPCs lower the faction of Corrupt Qeynos guards, but their Primary faction is not actually the corrupt faction.

I guess what I am looking for is the guards in question. People have brought up their concerns that the guard(s) they are killing for bracelets are on the regular guard faction. According to the thread people were most concerned about getting these specifics guards fixed as well as the exp rate of the quest.

The problem is that Alla is only listing a single guard who drops the bracelet, not sure who else should be dropping it.
