Halfling Illusion and Unique Faction Opportunities?
 

Greetings all! Having recently returned to P99 after a long hiatus I've decided to roll a new, evil character. While combing through the priest sub-forum and using the search function to determine the best race/class/deity combo for me and battling through several "what is the best race" threads, I found an interesting tidbit of information within the Symbol of Innorruk quest line. The Skinned Halfling Mask.

The quest is allegedly repeatable, providing evil Clerics and Shamans with single dose halfling illusion clickies, which while might be a fun novelty, presents some interesting opportunities for raising faction and completing quests that one might not otherwise be able to do without puppet strings, other illusions, the help of an enchanter, etc.

My questions to the community are as follows

1. What noteworthy factions would you (as a troll shaman, or dark elf cleric) be most advantageous utilizing the halfling illusion?

2. what quests would it allow one to accomplish.. the halfling raider WC port skullcap, testament of vaner, and Soulfire come to mind, anything else?

3. While clearly a non-innoruuk worshiping preist cannot use the innoruuk symbol, Could a Cazic thule worshiper do enough of the quest to obtain this mask?

4. Is this actually repeatable on p99?

Thank you all in advance for your suggestions and discussion!

did this twice on my cleric, iirc the duration of the effect is pretty short

it's easy to do, just kill the halfling dildo in nek and give his head to the guy in neriak, done.

as far as faction boosts for quests - I can't really think of any that are worthwhile..

Troll shaman would be better than DE cleric iirc, because DE clerics worship Inny, and the religion adjust will likely keep you kos even in halfling form.

Edit: Unless the shammy has to worship Inny too. Not sure on that at all.

The question is, can a Cazic Thule worshiping shammie get the quest line in the DE cleric guild? I know iksar CT worshipers aren't welcome (without skellie illusion at least).

Either/or... outside of the snare clickie necklace (which only lasts 6 ticks and has a long ass cast time) and the occasional illusion mask there's not much in it in shaman terms for deity.

Definitely repeatable if you're set on it...maybe an idea to farm up some woven grass amulets for 2-3 masks and bank 2/3 of them for later :p

It casts as a level 1 illusion spell so the duration is only 3 minutes. It has to be equipped to be cast. So far everywhere I tried to use the mask on my DE cleric I was still KOS to things I started out KOS as, so I think most good races hate Innoruuk more than they like halflings.

I tried to use it in Rivervale, still KOS.

I tried to use it in Qeynos for the Lashun gold faction quest, still KOS.

As far as a Cazic shaman getting the mask, I don't have an answer for that, but the guy you do the hand in for the mask is in the dark elf caster guild building, so you might have to do some faction work to deal with him.

Glad youre comin back, squire. To red i presume?

Of course red, going cleric this time around. And thanks to everyone for your input.

Any input on the cazic Thule symbols?

if your just looking for faction could collect a whole bunch of runny eye war beads and hand them in to sheriff roglio or whatever. its part of the squad ring quest i think? but like previously stated, the God of hate worshiper thing might moot this

wait you can turn into a halfling, as a troll shaman?

I think we just settled the, who is the best shaman race argument..
