Thank you for adding this. I think I may have screwed something up, though.
Full story: The Rogue Errands quest gives you a turn in that you take from the rogue guild in N. Qeynos to a dark elf that's just outside the gate. Turning the card in nets positive HH faction, which I SEVERELY lack. The quest does not award any experience or a single copper coin. The card is not LORE or NO-DROP, however (as per classic), and was kind of a backdoor way to get positive faction in HH. Allakhazam's lists the process as much more effective than it is on P99, so if you want to look at how much faction is gained per card turn in, that'd be neat. If my use of this quest (not outside game mechanics, mind you) pisses you off and you'd rather me not do the quest this way, I'm fine with that too, although this was done on Live with enough frequency that I'm sure an SOE GM made the call at some point that it was okay.
Anyway, I can't get into Qeynos as a dark elf, so I asked someone to help. I gave him some coin, (and a little gear for his time) so he could buy backpacks and fill them with the Bent Card you get. He traded me the bag, loaded a ton of them on his cursor and traded them to me. I turned them in, deleted the note I was given (that I couldn't return to the rogue guild, anyway, for fear of the guards at the gate), and completed approximately 300-400 turn ins tonight. I went from scowling to threatening after about 100-ish. I honestly expected the faction to climb faster than that, but I was okay with it because of how simple it was. The part I thought might have gotten wonky was that occasionally backpacks were deleting, and at one point there was a backpack inside of a backpack (or at least the icon of a card changed) and we were missing about 5 containers between the two of us. He bought something off of a vendor after we decided to give it a rest, and his inventory filled up with cards, too.
Just an FYI. Again, if you feel this is abuse (because I know someone's going to bring it up), I'll find some other way to get through HH, I guess. It's faster than killing orcs, but I wouldn't use the term efficient to describe the process.
So, nilbog, I'm sorry I ate your chocolate squirrel.
