    It still seems to be impossible to get this quest, unless there is some trick that I don't know about. My faction is scowls with Servants of Esianti.

    It was a quest to help with faction but never really got fixed.

    It is indented in /achievements so is not necessary to complete Mercenary of Stratos.

    Yes, it would be great if we could use it to help with faction.

    This is only for those that are really in bad straights. You have to be "ready to attack" to get it.

    Think the issue is you can never have your faction be this bad with that specific NPC that gives the quest?

    IIRC, it was changed during TBL beta to put all TBL quest NPCs on neutral factions or something, so if it is checking its own faction it never can be lowered that low?

    My faction was "scowls at you, ready to attack" with Servants of Esianti. The quest NPC cons indifferent regardless of other factions. I don't think it's possible to get this quest.

    The NPC is not on the same faction that it checks for. He is neutral and is there to help you if you are aggro by the servants of Esianti. You can never be aggro to the quest giver, but that isn't what he looks for anyhow.

    I don't know what it's checking but it's broken, and has been since the changes in Beta.
    I am willing to put some Platinum on it that the server logs probably show, no one has completed this quest, game wide. I swung every TBL faction to scowls and was never able to request it.

    Well then, let's talk specifics. Exactly where does it fail? What are you saying to who when it stops working? This is one of those cases where it "works on my machine".

    Ah. Ngreth straightened me out. Faction math is not fun. I'm fixing it and making the faction requirement "Threateningly", which is probably what I wanted it to be in the first place.

    Thank you for taking a second look at this.
