Aid the Dar Brood

[diamondfist]

faction on this server that is required as per Nilbog:
"This quest requires amiable or better faction."



It shouldn't be, I know for a fact 3 months into velious my brother in Midnight Sojourn back on Erollisi Marr used hide/sneak to turn his in as a rogue. He had one of the first ones on the server 2 months in. And i remember many monks/rogues being given it in Da kor / United Independent because of the fact they were KoS from farming north and sneak turn ins worked.


Here is some evidence to support this. From allakzham April 16th 2001

I got this cloak and did some test logs and eyeballing the tests appear its on the same as my monk epic, but someone else said i did it wrong and the haste is only 23%... i dont think i could mistake 23% to 40%...

anyways i just ran up to hara then hit sneak and sneaked to her with the item on the cursor.. i hit give as soon as i got it in a trade window got my cloak and ran away."



also the p99 wiki(http://wiki.project1999.com/Aid_the_Dar_Brood) says: "Harla Dar is found wandering the northeastern portion of the Western Wastes. You must be at least apprehensive or indifferent to the Claws of Veeshan before she'll speak with you. " That was pulled from somewhere.

The wiki usually just automatically copies the most current version of Allakhazam when the pages are created.

Some of the comments after 2002 (Skyshrine revamp) indicate she may have had her faction require bumped to a higher faction level.


Found this nugget. Looks like she took a 2 month vacation and was removed in Early July 2001 and returned on August 31, 2001.

And the posts directly above this one.

Anyone seen Harla Dar since patch? I've been waiting 2 days to get my shroud of the dar brood but she hasn't been up.

Harla's bind point was under the world. Since Harla can Gate and is unstunable, that's a bad thing. So they just took her out for now. Probably forgot about her. Mention it on the new Whineplay.

It is 7am Aug 31st and I found Harla Dar just moments ago on Karana server after a 10 minute patch on zone I went to check and there she was. Handed in item got srhoud.

She dies a lot, we always kill her on the way.

[Freakish]

She was removed because she was bugged on live. For the first few months she did not summon so bards could just kite her down.

so with that being said, is there any proof showing that my original post of apprehensively / indifferent for the quest piece is wrong?

[Ele]

Nothing that I found. Most of the posters were already warmly or ally just from being on COV faction, or wanted to max it before trying it.

I did not see any specific posts, I tried at XXX faction and it was eaten. There were some posts about Harla not speaking to them at apprehensive, but I guess people didn't want to risk a Zlandicar drop on it.

[Erati]

I doubt the guy who made the Zam comment fabricated his sneak turn in tho

the question is when did the faction amounts get changed - so thats probably most likely what happened, and why theres not much info since the mob was bugged on live for so long

[diamondfist]

So Nilbog, please fix sir!

[diamondfist]

anyone able to counter the facts presented?

[Jexey]

Any updates on this? OP is correct, never once had Amiable faction on live and had shrouds on two toons.

[diamondfist]

no chance of this getting implemented for this upcoming patch?

[diamondfist]

Lets not forget about this =x

[diamondfist]

any update?

[nilbog]

If there is no evidence to the contrary, I will decrease the required faction turn in before next patch.

Looking for more commentary.

I was friends with a lot of midnight sojourn folks. Who was your brother?

trust me, you can't sneak and turn in no more, was changed over 2 months ago or more. She requires higher than indif now, so if you didn't hand it in before you're shit out of luck and stuck with a 5/4 talisman! But you can always kill much giants and get +CoV. I'm ally to tormax zek rif and cov, but it's kinda hard to do that now that they have fixed the faction caps etc. Could always kos to giant for a while then switch back though...
but theres nice cloak for monk off statue and CT so its up to you!
====================== Level 60 Grandmaster of Povar =======

So indifferent to start, then updated after she was removed for a couple of months to something more?

[cdawgz28]

I'm ally and I'm getting the " I can't find my son, I don't have time for you boptii" text.... Is this require max all I on p1999?

[Erati]

just turn the neck in if ur faction that good

[cdawgz28]

Ok cool will try

[nilbog]

So I'm level 55 with Ally faction. Harla doesn't give the quest text. Working as intended? Alla/wiki say level 55 required. I haven't handed in the talisman for fear of losing it. Anyone done the quest at 55 to confirm if it works or not?

I've seen posts on Alla with someone getting cloak while getting the non quest response from hailing her, and both a lvl 56 and 57 getting the cloak (but no mention of her hail response).

If your faction is good, she should respond to 'son'.
