Erdarf Restil eating Karsin Acid
Description: Erdarf Restil in Thurgadin is part of two quest lines: to get the Coldain Military Bracers and Kromrif Military Leggings. In either quest line you need to get a Gem of Persuasion from Erdarf. One way to get the gem is to hand him the Scepter of Coldain Ancients off Queen Drac in CC, and the other way is to hand him a Bottle of Karsin Acid off the Ry'Gorr miners in CC.
Currently, he is eating the Bottle of Karsin Acid. I haven't gotten a Scepter yet to test that turnin. I am KOS with dwarves but was sneak-trading the acid to get indiff faction - according to many Alla comments from 2001 this entire quest line was doable with dubious faction to both dwarves and giants as many people mention rolling a Rallos Zek worshipping alt specifically for doing the turn ins. A number of people also talk about using sneak to do turnins to both giants and dwaves. Relevant NPCs: Erdarf Restil Relevant LOCs: Thurgadin (-370, +458, -21) Expected behavior: Should take a Bottle of Karsin Acid and return a Gem of Persuasion Evidence/Research: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...8&p=2#comments http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=983 Relevant log snippets: Quote:

Weird.
It is currently written to require high amiable, not just amiable, for both item turn ins. Before I change all of this, would like more input. Whomever made this went to quite a bit of effort to make it this way. | ||

Here's a bunch of stuff describing how the quest worked great using a newbie Rallos Zek alt, who would start dubious with both Coldain and Kromrif. People note on several occasions that they would not get quest dialogue with dubious faction but that the turn-ins were still functional. Pretty much every walkthrough of this quest written since early/mid 2001 endorses the newbie Rallos Zek alt method.
I also put in a few examples of people claiming success using sneak. The most relevant bits are in bold. Quote:

I recall using this guide to do this on my Druid.

Pending update:
Removed the faction checks for turn ins to Erdarf. (Dubious or better will work) | ||

As per the crowdsourcing thread nilbog (my top post)
http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...=76729&page=10 I only did the quest at ally... most of the quests required high amiably or higher from looking over the kael quests that I crowd sourced - perhaps that is why it was defaulted to same. I did not try to do hails at any less factions as it was not requested by yourself at the time. EDIT: Further research on the crowdsourcing quests (if this is the right one) it is found here, I did a TON of research on live: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...=76729&page=13 completing the quests several times and ensuring the lowest amount of faction required: High up amiably was the lowest level of faction to complete the quest: Quote:

Right, he should not respond to hails until amiable, but all the stuff I just posted acknowledges that while he does not respond to hails he still returned the Gem with dubious faction when handed either the sceptre or the acid. A number of Velious quests worked this way - you had to have high faction to find out about them but often needed relatively low faction to complete.
This quest in particular - you are told to go slip this dwarf some acid by a frost giant, and there's even a script that runs to get all the other dwarves in the bar out and away so that the only two left are the bartender (non-aggro merchant) and Edarf. The whole thing is pretty much designed to work with KOS-sneak trades or people who were otherwise low faction with Coldain. If anything, it's only weird that he takes the sceptre at dubious, as that what his quest text is about, but that's apparently how it worked on live according all of the researched I linked and pasted above.
