Spells: Minor Illusion Faction Modifier Bug

[Suri]

Cool, /friend'd. My chanter on Al'Kabor is Yeneldria. I'm also likely to be playing on Nusumi or Korff, so /friend those too if you want to chat.

As for velious factioning, I haven't done much, but it has been anti-giant. Maybe 200 kills in Kael, no bosses. A couple "accidental" kills in Skyshrine when a groupmates invis broke. No cobalt scar key (and good luck finding a port nowadays). Never been to PoG on this char, or PoM ever.

Please send me a /tell with how I can help.

Minor illusion to brownies you are still dubious or worse and can not buy spells from the merchant. I know for a fact you could buy spells from them on live in the vellious or earlier game and this later got changed (and the spells moved to a merchant in HHK).

Any chance this could get fixed or the spells moved to the pet vendor in HHK?

Quick recap: At retired P99 developer Sundawg's suggestion, I made a whirl-wind tour across Norrath on the Al`Kabor server (EQ Mac; hosted by Sony through 2013) to test how Minor Illusion adjusted one's faction against normally-hostile NPCs. For my test toon, I used an agnostic human to have as neutral starting faction as possible. After collecting the data, I emailed Sundawg a spreadsheet of my findings; however, the suggested programming changes were never implemented to bring Minor Illusion faction adjustments on P99 in line with those on EQ Mac (and, by association, classic EQ). Here is a google sheet of the data.

Sheet 2 shows faction adjustment data I collected on Project 1999 Blue on October 17, 2021. I tested using a dark elf noob and a human noob to discover that Minor Illusion adjusted my faction to that of a human, as discussed earlier in the thread.
