Miscellaneous: Nektulos Guards on Wrong Faction

[Shadin]

The guards within Nektulos Forest are supposed to be on Dread Guard Outer, but since hunting in Crushbone they are now scowling, indicating that they're on Indigo Brotherhood instead. The guards within Neriak itself should be on Dread Guard Inner, but I haven't checked them to see if they're also incorrect. I always played a Dark Elf on Live and there are NO Indigo Brotherhood NPCs outside of the Warrior guild itself anywhere within Neriak.

Wow, this is indeed messed up. Crushbone faction hits were never supposed to have that big of an impact on Neriak faction.

I really hope this gets fixed soon...

I agree with this. My Dark elf SK soloed for an hour or so in Crushbone and is now dubious to his own guards in Nektulos. It seems all guards in Neriak/Nektulos are on the IndigoBrotherhood faction, when in fact they should be split between DreadGuardInner/Outter, and the Warrior's guild should be IndigoBrotherhood.

Indigo Brotherhood
The Dark Elf Warriors Guild. The Indigo Brotherhood has struck an alliance with the Crushbone Orcs, sending their Ambassador to Emperor Crush himself. It remains to be seen what will come of it.

The Guildhall of the Indigo Brotherhood can be found in the Neriak Commons. The guildmaster Seloxia Punox leads the guild in the opposition of The Emerald Warriors of Kelethin and the Steel Warriors of of Qeynos and Freeport. Dark Elf warriors also learn young to Hunt the Halfling Leatherfoot Raiders who have invaded their Nektelos Forest.

As a rule, you can gain faction with most of the Human and Elvish warrior guilds by annoying these folk.

The guards on the bridge also see Sneak/Hide and shouldn't.

Looking into the faction issues.

The guards on the bridge also see Sneak/Hide and shouldn't.

Can someone research this and provide a link or some quotes.

And to think i wasted all that time doing the red wine quest.... I was starting to wonder how many more bottles i have to give to see a difference.

Okay Nektulos forest guards fixed, pending update.

As far as the rest of Neriak a/b/c...here is a post from a while ago on the forums. Does this look accurate?

Dark elf guards:
Dread Guards Outer: Nektulos Forest, Neriak Foreign Quarter

Dread Guards Inner: Neriak Commons, Neriak 3rd Gate

Indigo Brotherhood: Some guards in Neriak Commons, near or in Warrior Guild I suppose. Not sure if the Exterminators are on this as well.

Priests of Innoruuk: In and around the Cleric Guild in Neriak 3rd Gate

The Dead: Near Necro/SK guild and at least one roamer, specifically one that goes near the Cleric guild (a spy perhaps?)

Ogre/Troll guards:
Some in Neriak FQ can be The Dead also. Some are on Da Bashers. Not sure if some of the Ogres are on some Ogre Faction or not.

Keep in mind that DE Necros/SK The Dead oppose the other casters (The Spurned).

While it may not be 100% accurate on all accounts, it's pretty damn close. Following the above faction structure seems pretty logical.

Pending update:

Faction in and around Neriak:
-guards in nektulos forest and neriak foreign quarter will have dreadguardouter primary faction.
-guards in neriak commons and neriak third gate will have dreadguardinner primary faction.
-guards and trainers within the warrior guild in neriak commons will have IndigoBrotherhood faction
-Wandering Guard N`mar primary faction changed to IndigoBrotherhood.
-Guard Lumpin primary faction changed to NeriakTrolls.
-Guard Swang primary faction changed to Ogre.

Any additional changes that need to be made in regards to Neriak or Nektulos, let me know.

Btw, links and research help A LOT. The less we have to research, the more time we have to implement fixes.

I'll try and do some research, but during my entire time on Live as a DE SK scowling to Indigo Brotherhood, I never encountered an NPC outside of the Warrior guild that was KOS. If Guard N`Mar is on Indigo Brotherhood faction, he was not in the city pre-POP.
