That vendor is greedy though and will only pay half.

A not wellknown fact is that illusion: skeleton is enough to be able to trade with any iksar merchant in cabilis and even guards don't have a problem with skeletons. You should proabably still not enter the temple... but everything else seems fine.

No real reason to do the iksar illusion quest besides looking like an iksar.

That is perfect! I remember there being some merchants right outside the zoneline still in FOB

Still plan on doing the quest, since Iksar in robes are the best haha
