Nothing was done on my end to effect my dark elf faction of any kind before the patch as I was traveling and wasnt able to play much. Unfortunately, I dont have details before the patch but everything worked like a charm. Here is what I'm seeing now though.

Agnostic
Erudite race - apprehensive to Kizdean

Dark Elf form - apprehensive to Kizdean
Casting Collaboration - apprehensive to Kizdean

I just dont understand why none of those tricks effecting my standing with him especially since I'm not kos.

Just make a bot forever parked at Gix w the phrase hotkeyed with the purpose of generating a note walking it to Befallen and spawning the container dropper.

Reaper quest is not broken. As a 60 bard with DE mask + faction song I was able to do 3 reapers. The only issue I had was for some reason kiz had to be agroed, moved, mezed, clear agro ( via camp during me ) and then when I logged back in I was able to get him to respond to the note text.

Each time he would not respond with the note when I first ran up, had to agro and camp for him to respond.

*edit* without mask and song I am dubious to kiz, neriak, and loveal. Mask or song gets me apprehensive, both takes me to kindly.

Are you talking about in the last 36 or so hours? Regardless, Cinda's Charismatic Carillon is 610 faction, Collab is only 300 faction.

My Enchanter has never taken a -The Dead hit and I've had +The Dead faction from doing the quest many times previously and as of today I still can't get over Apprehensive, OP is correct that something was changed. While OP is talking about Kizdean I didn't check him since he is so easy to charm I checked Loveal who obviously can't be charmed since he's yellow at 60.

Nevermind, just checked Kizdean. OP is right he was also changed, he doesn't have a pet now and faction wouldn't move from Apprehensive on him either.

Yes on patch day after the 2nd reset I did the quest.

Also it now seems important to note: I had to AGRO kiz + charm + mez after charm + relog. He factioned correctly after relog.

Note 2: he would not respond to hails before agro, nor during charm.

*will test in few hours and post results.

Curious if it's a char faction change or something wrong with kiz or lov. Or just and issue with collab. As a bard I often get different results than other classes using same spell mechanic. I.e. mez / charm

Oh, that is really broken. Charm should make the charmed pet Amiable to the caster and indifferent to everyone else. It shouldn't matter if it was an Enchanter/Bard/Necro/Druid or someone with Puppet Strings that cast the charm.

I did aggro him like your first post suggested but I just mem blurred him then cast Collab. I didn't try to charm him. Maybe the faction was changed when they removed his pet, on Zam at least 1 person in 2001 posted he didn't have a pet. I thought a while ago there was a bug report about some Neriak factions being incorrect but I can't find it now to see if a dev responded to the thread.

Kiz had a pet but when I charmed him during my investigation but he didn't resummon one after I zoned to Befallen. Hopefully right folks will notice these inconsistency and figure out a fix.
