Missing/additional faction hits for Nektulos halflings

[Aalderon Crystafire]

Currently ALL of the halflings in Nektulos give the follow faction hits:

+Dreadguard Outer
-Merchants of Rivervale
-Stormreapers
-Mayor Gubbin
-Guardians of the Vale

While these are the correct factions for most of the halflings - all of the halflings around the altar where Master Whoopal/Quester Dunden spawns, as well as all Leatherfoot Raiders - the druids that spawn at the druid rings @ +505, 1147, -28 should not have these same hits.

Neophyte Edel
Neophyte Hazel
Initiate Rambel
Initiate Hart


These should not have -Guardians of the Vale and instead of +Dreadguard Outer should give +Unkempt Druids.

They should be

+Unkempt Druids
-Merchants of Rivervale
-Mayor Gubbin
-StormReapers

Our P99 Wiki even lists this one correctly http://wiki.project1999.com/Initiate_Rambel.

In addition, any other halfling initiate/neophyte placeholders that spawn at the rings should have the same faction hits. If there is an easy way for you to cycle/see all of the mobs that share the same static? If not I will murder them up later and make note of who all spawns here. I know Neophyte Halle and Initiate Abber also spawn at the rings.

Every halfling I've killed does not raise with the Dark Elves, but instead with the Unkempt Druids. Am I killing the wrong Nektulos halflings?

Yeah that's the wrong halfling camp. Go south from there across the river. There's 2 halfling camps in the SW corner of the zone. Those are the one's that raise your faction..and it'll say "Dread Guards Outer" for the DE faction. As far as how many of these **** you have to kill? God I wish I knew..very boring stuff.

Looks like Leatherfoot faction got adjusted on here in 2010:

I agree. This is why I included multiple sources from 2001 or earlier. I say it was 'even listed correctly' there (wiki) because it is usually wrong.

Right - the ones HERE are supposed to give +Unkempt Druids, while the rest give +Dreadguard Outer instead. Currently they're all giving +Dreadguard Outer.

The following halfling druids spawn at the marked location and need to be fixed to give +Unkempt Druids instead of +Dreadguard Outer.

Initiate Rambel
Initiate Hart
Initiate Abber
Neophyte Edel
Neophyte Hazel
Neophyte Halle

Got the exact faction hits for you!

StormReapers -20
MayorGubbin -2
MerchantsofRivervale -3
UnkemptDruids +3

I have had this fixed for some time, but I don't think the spawn locations are correct. I updated the faction hits for the correct npcs but they seem to be mixed up between the two ruins. If you'd like to help provide a list of which npcs should spawn at each ruin, that would be of great help.

[Aalderon Crystafire]

Thanks for fixing the factions and I suspect you are right with regards to the spawns. I believe there are probably too many at the middle camp, too few at the southmost camp (only two there now) and maybe 1 or 2 missing from the north camp (rings). I will look into this and try to find more details. It is difficult because apparently Nektulos forest was revamped not once but twice! I only ever knew the Nektulos we have here as I bailed on live some time before these changes.

Does anyone know when the Nektulos first revamp (Nektulos 2.0) occured? It also seems that before THAT change there was a post Luclin change that was still our Nektulos but added some dark elves and erollosi humans. I just want to make sure any loc coordinates I dig up are from Nektulos 1 or 1.5

Look what I found! A map so old it was drawn in MSPaint with a mouse!

This one, too (has dots for halfling positions):

They might help if it's easy to tell the difference between the newbie halflings and higher level halflings.

This link contains people bemoaning the fact that the higher level deputy shows up at the newbie halfling camp: https://web.archive.org/web/20010722173922/http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=2183

This one contains directions on how to find a specific halfling, and info on surrounding mobs: https://web.archive.org/web/20010628005158/http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=2171

(Initiate Rambel) tends to congregate with the rest of his foul little ilk in and around a set of ruins in Nektulos Forest (pos625, neg1196; take a right turn at the second fork headed toward the bridge from the newbie log). Watch out for the Leatherfoot Medic and Leatherfoot Deputy, though.

This one mentions Neophyte Hazel: https://web.archive.org/web/20010628005040/http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=2170

She is located at the halfling camp with ruins and a stump

[Aalderon Crystafire]

Thanks Sorn! The second map looks off (Neriak and the Spire locations for example) but I think the number of mobs looks about right though it does leave out the 'sort of' 4th halfling spawn which is the tree stump east-northeast slightly of the newbie halflings (druid ring) camp which we already have spawning here. Definitely seems though that all of the lowest level ones (~lvl 5) spawn on the north side by rings and the ones in the middle camp are the highest and basically the deputy wanders (which he already does quite well)

The lowbie ones that spawn at the north ring (and give also give Unkempt faction) are

Initiate Rambel
Initiate Hart
Initiate Abber
Neophyte Edel
Neophyte Hazel
Neophyte Halle

Also, Telin incase you need here are the hits for the Leatherfoot Deputy who is one of the ones that DOES give Dreadguard Outer.
