Rogue Errands issue spawning Guard Stald

[Teddie1056]

Not 100% sure if this is a triggered spawn after the hand in for rogue errands.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Rogue_Errands

But he isn't spawning. I am trying to mow down Guards to see if he has a PH.

[Teddie1056]

Bump on this, does he spawn?

[nilbog]

Guard Stald does have the potential to spawn, but I believe he, Guard Ranlem, and Guard Becker need to be uniquely possible on each others grids.

This could use research, especially since classic Highpass no longer exists on live.

[Teddie1056]

Based on reading the ZAM posts

1. He appears to be on a High Keep entrance guard ph, rather than with Ranlem and Becker as PHs
2. It also appears that the badge should drop off of Guard Blayle and possibly other guards in HK, with multiple people saying this.

The Guards name is Stald and he spawns at the front of the hold near the other guards. Wait till he leaves and kill him. You get a badge you turn into Prak for basically the reverse of the factions you took a hit on by killing him. The whole quest ends in you getting a cape that wasn't worth the time. AC2 +2 DEX as I remember but, it has been awhile

Here's a great way to complete this quest and get incredible faction with the citizens (merchants, guards, etc.) of Highpass
1. Get the note from Zannsin in the Qeynos rogues guild. The trick begins right here, as this note is not a Lore item. If you want the great faction, fill a couple backpacks full of these notes before going off to see Prak.
2. Give the Note(s) to Prak. You recieve Faction Hits of "+" with Carson McCabe, Coalition of Tradefolk III, Highpass Guards and Merchants of Highpass, and "-" with Ring Of Scale. If you have brought enough notes, eventually you will stop receiving (or losing) Faction with the above groups (except Carson, who, even after about 75 notes, i was still recieving a faction increase with)
3. Go get the proof. Either pickpocketing or Killing Guard Stald. If you kill him I suggest waiting by the Tigers Roar and following him up the ramp until he gets to the top and whack him there. Guard Stald also has two other guards that spawn in his place Guard Ranlem and Guard Becker. If you see either of these two forget about completing this quest that day. I killed Stald really fast and waited five hours again, without another spawn. (I think Stald, Becker and Ranlem have an 8 hour real life spawn cycle) Your Faction Hits with killing Stald are all "-" Carson McCabe, Merchants of Highpass, Highpass Guards, Corrupt Qeynos Guards, and Freeport Militia.
4. Take the Badge back to Prak. If you beefed up your faction with alot of notes, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If you didn't you probably dropped back to at least indifferent with Prak and your quest will fail. I'm not sure of the faction hits here, but since I only recieved a "+" with Carson McCabe I assume its the same as in step #2. Prak then gives you a note to take back to Zannsin.
5. Giving the note back to Zannsin Gives you the following faction hits: "+" with Circle of Unseen Hands, Corrupt Qeynos Guards, Kane Bayle and "-" with Merchants of Qeynos and Guards of Qeynos. You also recieve the "Cloak of Unseen Hands" which is AC 1, +2dex/agi and some money.

Overall the reward isn't that great, but if you give alot of those first notes to Prak, then the great faction you have with the Merchants in Highpass makes it alittle worth while. Just one point of Notice and that is the losing Faction with the Freeport Militia is NOT offset, so just be careful not to kill Stald too many times, or risk a bad rep in Freeport.

I have camped Guard Stald in Highpass, and found
that the spawns at the Gate to HIgh keep. I am a
14 lvl Rogue and have fought him 3 times, so far
he wins every time; however I did not open with a
backstab. He hits for about 35pnts dmg, but is
easy to outrun if u are forced to retreat. I had
a 20th lvl mage help me kill him once but he did
not have the badge on him, that time. It is also
possible to Pick Pocket him for it(so I have been
told), but everytime I have picked (3 times) all I
get is money.
I would suggest waiting till u are about 16th lvl
before taking him unless u have good weapons, I
have a FS spear and a Minos axe.

As an update:

I have managed to acquire the badge from guard Stald
3 time. I ahve pick pocketed every time. My pick pockets
is about 84. Each time i always get silver first uaually 4 sp
and the I dont suceed a few times and then I get the badge.

I take the badge to Prak and he says "I will do nothing for
the likes of you". Obviously he does not like me. When I con
him he reagards me indifferently - the way to raise faction is
to take gnoll scalps to the guard by the EK entrance or take
Orc scalps to the Captian near the Kith entrance.

I have yet to raise my faction high enough - when I do I will
provide another udate

P.S. Stald is still a tough fight - Hard to get alone

His place holder (1 of them) is Guard Becker

Athlandar On: 04/21/2000 11:58:11 PM

Soloed Him at 2oth lvl - E-z fight - still need to raise faction

He goes to 3 points for guard duty - Easiest spot to solo him
is after his second guard spot

The name of the guard is Guard Stald and he spawns right outside the guardhouse. I personally spent a lot of time waiting for him, and its a good idea to scout out his route before trying to kill him. Stald is around level 14 or 15, but is pretty tough to solo. I didn't have any problems with faction with Prak... the only thing that bothered me about this quest is that the guy who gives you the cloak says, "I give you the Cloak of the Unseen Hands"(or something along those lines) and the item is called just a black leather cloak....ah well

In-era corroboration of Guard Blayle in High Keep having the coin in his loottable as well:

I also find these flasks often when I kill the guards, and Guard Blayle drops the 'coin' labelled "Stald's Badge" which I have no idea what it's for yet but I figure it has something to do with the guard named Stald just on the other side of the zone.
If anyone finds out what to do with the badge please post[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The same thing happened to me, some guy was in there killing all the guards. One guard dropped some kind of badge, it looked like a silver coin. What do I do with this?

It's unclear if other guards could drop it:

I got the badge to drop off Blayle twice in just a few times fighting him. He's one of the lower level guards (usually) in HHK, so if you're looking to do this quest early and don't want to wait for someone else to kill a high level guard, try Blayle.

I can agree with Gilliamll, found it twice off of Guard Blayle in 3 kills. Blayle is level 25-30ish (about 5-10 levels lower than most guards) and is located just inside HHK. However, other guards may aggro if you hit him, so look out. As for other guards, I have been killing guards for a while in HHK and havent had this drop off of them, only Blayle.

Not sure why they're listed as werewolves...
- https://web.archive.org/web/20010826...pass_Hold.html

Name		Level	HP	Race		Class	Position
Guard Becker	23	730	Were Wolf	Warrior	(-26,396)
Guard Ranlem	37	2179	Were Wolf	Warrior	(75,500)
Guard Stald	14	380	Were Wolf	Warrior	(-23,-30)

Using this map of High Pass, we see that the above /locs place Becker at Tiger's Roar (#3), Ranlem at Top of the World (#2), and Stald just outside the Guard House. Taken with the above comments, this may indicate a shared spawn/route. If they paused at each location for a time, it might also explain the quest write-up on Allakhazam:

Guard Stald spawns at either thefront gate, beside the Tiger's Roar, or beside Top of the World.
