Subject: Fixing KOS to Freeport Militia

The Inert Potion quest will take 3-4 hours total (running) or about 2.5 hours with the shorter method. I'm not sure how much of a faction adjustment comes from the Highhold stuff but if you can get exp from the orcs, gnolls, and goblins there, it would be less tedious and less carpal-tunnel inducing. If you have trouble with Slansin not accepting the potion then please drop me a note here or a tell in game & I'll find out how to up faction with him. My current guess is that he's on CoalitionofTradefolkIll. Again, I'd like to thank everyone who came out to help kill Lucan. I had so much fun waxing him that I'm going to stay KOS just to kill him again later ... multiple times ... with Soulfire ... while making /rude gestures at him. 8P If you have any questions about the info here, feel free to ask.

The following information was gleamed, condensed, and edited from The Paladins of Norrath Tomes of Knowledge, various posts on their PoN ezboard (especially Thallius Trueheart's post), and AllaKhazams quests guide and beastiary listings.

In Erudin there is an enchanter named Toresian Fahbel who is on CraftKeeper faction. If hailing him does not yield a response, you need to increase CraftKeeper faction with the following task:

Goto Toxx Forest and follow the right wall until you reach the beach, then turn left and follow the beach until you get to the docks (to Kerra Isle). There should be a necromancer named Elial Brook. He is around level 5 and has about 100 HP. Killing him will net the following faction adjustments:

+Craft Keepers
+Crimson Hands
+Deepwater Knights
+Gate Callers
-Heretics of Paineel

Elial Brook has a 5 minute spawn timer and will always drop one "Bone piece" with each death. Save these stackable pieces for more faction.

After accumulating 15-17 "Bone Pieces" (should be dubious now), goto the third floor of the castle, to Toresian Fhabel once again. Directly beside him is the Mage guild, with a sign on it that says "Tower of the Gatecallers". Proceed to the very top of that tower, where you will find the mage Guildmaster Markus Jaevins. He gives a quest to hunt down a escaped prisoner, (Elial) and return his remains.

Give him one bone piece at a time for:

+Craft Keepers
+Crimson Hands
+Deepwater Knights
+Gate Callers
+High Counsel of Erudin
+High Guard of Erudin

Go back down the tower and /con Toresian Fahbel in front of the mage guild. At amiable he will give you the real quest.

On the first floor you will find the magic shop "Vials of Vitality." Inside is a merchant named Slansin, who is a spy for Carson McCabe. He is about level 10 BUT varies in which one is there. There are 2 Slansins - 'real' or 'imposter' Slansin. The real one is a regular looking guy, possibly holding a staff and will not give the Militia faction but rather some Erudin factions. The other guy is an enchanter, wearing a reddish outfit, no weapons. He's the one you want. First check on which one is up and if it's "imposter" Slansin - you're set to pull him (next paragraph) else you may have to try saying "I study Enchantment" to Toresian (read the sample log for more text).

To make this go faster you need 2 people, 1 of whom can root or mez/charm. Have the rooter lightly attack/stun the lvl 10 Slansin and get him to follow you up to the third floor near Toresian. Root Slansin there and then get out of cast range and camp. All this time the second person should be hailing Slansin so he will not leave. The rooter then logs back on and joins the hailer in doing the quest. Be sure to hail Slansin every minute or two or he will leave the area and you will have to attack him again to get him close to Toresian.

Stand close to Toresian but face Slansin so you can give Slansin the potion immediately after Toresian gives it to you. You should be able to achieve approximately 20 faction hits per minute using this method.

Hot keys to make this easier:

Make a Toresian key with the following commands..
(1st line) /target Toresian_Fhabel00
(Second Line) i wish to assist toresian
This key will get you the potion with a single click or number shortcut push

Make a Slansin key with the following commands..
(1st line) /target Slansin00
(Second Line) hail Slansin
This key will make it easier to hail Slansin so he will not leave the area.

Sample log (from Thallius Trueheart)

[Sat Dec 09 07:43:07 2000] You say, 'hail Toresian Fhabel'
[Sat Dec 09 07:43:07 2000] Toresian Fhabel says 'Welcome, my friend! We are the Craftkeepers. We study the circle of magic called enchantment. What circle do you [study]?
[Sat Dec 09 07:43:10 2000] You say, 'I study Enchantment.'
[Sat Dec 09 07:43:10 2000] Toresian Fhabel says 'Then I welcome you into our circle. It is good to see new blood. I have a favor to ask of you. Do you [wish to assist Toresian] or do you not have the time?
[Sat Dec 09 07:43:12 2000] You say, 'I wish to assist Toresian Fhabel'
[Sat Dec 09 07:43:13 2000] Toresian Fhabel says 'Thank you. It is a simple task. Take this potion down to Vials of Vitality and give it to Slansin. He will need it for their stock. Now, be on your way, Aniem .
[Sat Dec 09 07:43:50 2000] Slansin looks your way apprehensively -- what would you like your tombstone to say?
[Sat Dec 09 07:44:10 2000] Slansin says 'Ha!! What a fool!! I have stolen another potion to add to the crate. I shall make a fortune!! The real Slansin is in back. Now it is time for me to leave.
[Sat Dec 09 07:44:10 2000] Your faction standing with CoalitionofTradeFolkIll got better
[Sat Dec 09 07:44:10 2000] Your faction standing with CoalitionofTradefolk got better
[Sat Dec 09 07:44:10 2000] Your faction standing with CarsonMcCabe got better
[Sat Dec 09 07:44:10 2000] Your faction standing with CorruptQeynosGuards got better
[Sat Dec 09 07:44:10 2000] Your faction standing with TheFreeportMilitia got better


------------------------------------------------


Other ways to improve faction for the Freeport Militia include hunting in High Hold Pass and High Hold Keep. This may be a way to gain both exp and faction depending on your level.

In High Hold Pass Captain Orben collects gnoll scalps.
+Corrupt Qeynos Guards
+Freeport Militia
+Highpass Guards
+Highpass Merchants
+Carson McCabe

In High Hold Pass Captain Ashlan collects orc scalps.
+Corrupt Qeynos Guards
+Freeport Militia
+Highpass Guards
+Highpass Merchants
+Carson McCabe

In High Hold Keep Captain Linarus collects left goblin ears.
+Highpass Guards
+Carson McCabe

--------------------


Guards in other zones that have Freeport Militia faction include the following:

West Commons
Guard Valon - At the guard crossing - level 31
Guard Colin - At the road crossing - level 29-30

East Commons
Guard Tolus - level 25
Guard Reskin - level 25
Sergeant Slate - level 41

Northern Desert of Ro
Guard Brendyl - level 40 (2 minute respawn)
Guard Stoutman - level 40 (Militia faction?)
Guard Fintran - level 40 (Militia faction?)

Please be cautious when going in these zones, as Ellardy found out the hard way. Up until I saw his post I didn't even know there were Militia guards in EC or NRo.
