Custom Helm NPCs currently in game offering their quests

[Ele]

Issue: Supreme Laochsmith Psorin is in game near the armor quest givers. He shouldn't be in game until the custom helm patch of April 4, 2001. He is also giving me the quest to turn in a helm at dubious Claws of Veeshan faction.

Grand Armorer Slade (Icewell Keep) and Grand Armsmith Korin (Kael) are also currently in game


Previous post a few months back:

When were the npcs added for custom helm turn-ins?
-Royal Armorer Slade- Thurgadin
-Grand Armsmith Korin - Kael
-Supreme Laochsmith Psorin - Skyshrine


Should be with the April 4, 2001 Patch. Can't find any earlier references to these 3 NPCs. Even the references could find, so far, are a few months after this patch as the sites were slow to update on the end game pieces.

Patch Note:
------------------------------
April 4, 2001 3:00 am
------------------------------

** Item Changes **

- Velious racial plate helm quests have been added that will allow you
to 'trade in' your existing helms for ones with textures. We have
decided to allow the players (or their characters) to chose whether
they wish to have the new helmet textures or to continue to use helmets
that show no graphics.

Does anyone know how to increase faction with Royal Armorer Slade? I thought killing giants would do it but I've kill hundreds in kael and it's still not good enough for him to change my helm to a bucket

First instance of Grand Armsmith Korin on Alla:

Quest NPC not on list November 8, 2001 Ok in Kael in a room behind the king where the armor quest NPC's are is a guy named Grand Armsmith Korin. He is not on the list and can't find anything so far on him. He is there and he has a quest not sure what the reward would be but he ask for Malevolent Crown, Shiney Helm, Troubadour Helm, Templar's Helm, Crown of the Kromizik Kings, Frost Reaver's Velium Crown, Crown of the Mortaility, Warlord's Crown. Not sure if he wants them all or just one. Some of the helms are a result of Kael Armor Quest some I have yet to find anything on.
Anyone know anything about this guy and the Quest?

If you want to turn in a SS helm for the custom one, talk to Supreme Loachsmith somethingorother, he is the guy you are standing next to when you port into the SS quest room

Ok cool

From what I read:
-Amiable for Coldain
-Warmly for Kael/Skyshrine

If this is correct I'll write these guys, test them, and make them not spawn until ~04/01

[nilbog]

Wrote the missing elements to scripts, placed them on a rule to spawn in ~April 2001.

Few things here:

Could use the rest of the dialogue from Grand Armsmith Korin. Until that is found, he will use a generic: 'Here you are $name. Ah, a perfect fit! May it serve you well.'

Confirmation of faction requirements.

It is interesting that Armsmith Korin would offer to change King Tormax's crown. He should be like, how'd you get that?! $attack. Same for Slade offering to change Dain's crown.

>hail Grand Armsmith Korin.

Another offlander who has recognized and submitted to the will of Tormax I see in you, $name, and that is a good thing for you indeed.
For your service I offer you the option of trading in any plate helm you earned from our smiths for one more suited to your race.
I believe I can make a fine helm indeed for a [[race]] of your standing.
Just hand over your Malevolent Crown, Shining Helm, Troubadour's Helm, Templar's Crown, Crown of the Kromzek Kings, Frostreaver's Velium Crown, Cowl of Mortality or Warlord's Crown and I'll perform the work for you.

>>turn in crown

Ah, here is your helm, $name, may it serve you as well as you
have served us.

will edit after i dig some

Was thinking about that last night, but I played it off as the quester being best bros with Tormax/Dain and getting to borrow their crown.

>hail Supreme Laochsmith Psorin.

It is most unfortunate that you do not have scales to defend your fragile mortal shell Barbarian, I can only hope that the armor we in the Shrine can provide you with will extend your life another fraction of a century.
In addition to that you also might want a [special helm] to cover up that scaleless face of yours.
I understand that the Mother could not grace you with all our blessings, but at least we can try to make you look half way decent.

>What is special helm?

Using my obviously superior skills I can customize a plate helm from the Shrine to suit a Barbarian such as yourself.
Give me your Blood Lord's Crown, Scaled Knight's Helm, Helm of Twilight, Akkirus' Crown of the Risen, or Crown of the Myrmidon and I shall make you a new helm that will better hide and protect your unscaled features.

>>turn in helm

(Supreme Laochsmith Psorin)
Thank you, Xxxxx .
Please accept this Helm as a token of our gratitude for your service to the Shrine.

>hail Royal Armorer Slade.

Welcome Xxxxxx. I'm Slade, Royal Armorer to the Dain and his personal guardsmen.
I've heard yer name once or twice in these halls and apparently ye'ver earned the respect of my people.
In light of that I'm willin ta offer my [services] to you if'n ye need them.

>What services?

If'n ye've had the fortune to earn any of the plate helms that are made by my people in the city then I can use my skills to custom fit and detail it for a Human of yer like.
I can do this fer the Dark Runed Crown, the Runed Protector's Helm, the Resonant Helm, the Crown of Forbidden Rites , and the Champions Crown.
Simply hand me one of these and I'll do the work for you.

（Royal Armorer Slade）
Here you are XXXXX . Ah, a perfect fit!
