The telescope has the +5 int restored. The bug was that it was put in the ammo slot as it could accidently be fired (eep!!)
As far as the quests, the ninth coldain quest is in (that is why we were at work so late last night)
I'm not sure about the rest of the quest honestly
As far as threads, let me revisit them after the patch, I've been fighting this cold so I've not been as diligent as I could be with them. Also please bear with me as we move this weekend also (eepers!!!)
Thanks guys!!

I'm unsure what triggers his script. May need to flag one or both of the following:
- Trade-in of Ring #8
- The prompt "I will accept this task"
Rodrick Tardok in Eastern Wastes
He is involved in the Ring #6 quest and drops his head and the dirk prior to the Feb2001 patch (https://web.archive.org/web/20020108141646/http://www.everlore.com/Quests/default.asp?id=313747&mode=35&pg=2&sortby=2#Comments). No changes needed.
Murdrick Tardok and Company in Great Divide

6 Caverns with Coldain Smuggler
- https://web.archive.org/web/20020302023143/http://www.everlore.com/bestiary/beastdetails.asp?BID=337344&mode=show
In searching for ways to ride the fence in factions and perhaps befriend both Giants, Dragon Claws and Midgets of this continent we decided to risk an onslaught against a Coldain Smuggler. He was nestled in a cave near the Kodiak caves in the southwestern section of the Great Divide. Mr. Smuggler did not respond to a hail, even though he was merely indifferent to a Barbarian Shaman. If I remember right, he became apprehensive when we returned grouped with a mischievous cleric, who conned him blue at level 43.
Good thinking shorty, time to be apprehensive. We couldn't keep the pet healed. He boxed our tank into a greasy pool of fat. Double dotted him for approximately 400 total dmg. He was down 75% health when we knew we had to gate. It was a feeble attempt, but we were hoping by chance that he was weaker, and similar in faction to smugglers in HighPass or Iksar Pariahs in Kunark.
Cave entrance should be Northeast East of the Labyrinth of Velketor entrance. I might add, this cave is west and down the cliff from and empty and extensive cave. Perhaps the empty cave will be populated in future patches, but I even cast See Invisible on myself to assure, there was nothing there. Pulled to the empty caves for about 3 hours, nothing popped. Good place for a slumber party. If you kill the Coldain Smuggler, drop in and let us know what faction he gives.
The directions are a little off, but I believe the "empty and extensive cave" is describing where Murdrick's group of dwarves would spawn. The Smuggler's cave is actually east and down the cliff from Murdrick's cave, but there is no cave west and down the cliff from Murdrick's.
The Coldain Smuggler is missing from P99. I'm not sure if he's present on Live, but Allakhazam still has a page for him (https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=8539).
Comments showing the Smuggler remained after the Feb2001 patch:

Coldain Smuggler?

Okay in Bear 1 (northmost of the 3 bear caves next to VLab zone) there is an NPC named "Coldain Smuggler" who does not respond to hails nor does he aggro.
As he's Coldain, I want to assume that his faction is tied in to Thurg (don't want to mess up THAT faction!), but he IS a smuggler.... which, on the mainland, killing smugglers and bandits is usually a GOOD thing.... sooooooo....
Has anybody killed this guy? If so, what are the faction hits/gains?
If he is a quest NPC, then what quest is he related to? Any help appreciated, thanks.

While roaming in GD, I ran across the Coldain Smuggler. I was invis and he coned even to me. I am druid of the 40th season. I hit him for over 1500hps of damage and only took 1/3 of his health. I spent the next 20 minutes kitting him around GD but when his health hit about 20%, he just poofed on me. I checked his spawn location but he didn't return. I don't know why or where he went, but needless to say I didn't get to kill him.
Flagging considerations:
- Murdrick Tardok
- Laima Ratgur
- Davin Fatfist
- Herga Ratgur
- Lapker Geynion
- Gerton Dumkin
- Fomgrut Borkel
- The combine for Tainted Avalanche Ale (recipe contained in Murdrick's Plan (https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=22940))
- Add Coldain Smuggler if desired; would seemingly be in from Velious launch.
