Maximum: Yelinak/Tormax/Dain faction was required for armor quests for well beyond the Velious expansion IIRC, passed the release of Luclin. Your posts are an indicator. There are screenshots that are instant proof.

Currently, in research, I've only discovered 5 mobs that give a positive Yelinak faction hit. There are nearly a dozen that give a positive Tormax faction hit (mostly Coldain). And an almost equal number that give positive Dain hits.

This means that my recollection of how freakin hard it was to get Yeli faction is intact.

** Quest Changes **

- We've made a change to the Velious armor quests. The folks in Kael
and in Skyshrine that give out rewards for these quests are now being
stricter about who they will reward quest items to. You will have to be
considered an 'ally' (see Features section below) by these NPCs in
order to be able to complete these quests. If you are doing quests for
the Coldain, however, they are somewhat less picky, and they only
require that they consider you 'kindly' to reward you for your labors.

...

- There is a new /consider message: "regards you as an ally". This is
the highest level of friendliness that an NPC will register using the
/consider command. The faction required to reach this rating is
significantly higher than 'warmly'.

- King Tormax is now a little more particular about who he gives quests
to.


This thread also provides evidence that the Kael/Skyshrine quest armors come in an earlier less buff versions of themselves for the first 3.5 months of Velious, and then get buffed to the stats we currently know.

Thurg armor doesnt have a chain look.
Quest givers on Yelinak faction

You can charm the quest giving mobs in skyshrine, so Yelinak faction isn't absolutely a requirement.

Rumor has it, that currently it is possible to have a non-kos enchanter charm the Kael and Skyshrine quest mobs (Green at 55) and walk them out to zone to complete quests, indifferent faction is all that is required.

It should also be noted that any with sneak skill, can complete the quests with only dubious faction (Since they can get back there, and get indifferent with sneak)

First rumor is unchecked, second is fact, and has been done a few times.

Quest NPC for the Kael cleric armor is Vylleam Vyaeltor (located in room directly behind Tormax). Faction required is indifferent to Tormax (Dwarf heads to Bvellos, or kill Seneschal, Royal Guards, Dain, Velketor, or Yelinek for this). The quest npcs are low 30s in level and can be charmed. Faction needed to get there is Kromzek and Tormax. Components needed for the Quest are: 3 gems (varies with the piece) and the corresponding piece of ancient tarnished plate. Ancient tarnished plate drops in Temple of Veeshan of CoV factioned mobs (there's some right at zone in).

The quest givers in Skyshrine were recently changed from Yelniak to CoV faction, you only need to be indifferent to CoV to do the armor quests. Currently the only MOB in skyshrine that is Yelniak faction is Lord Yelniak himself.
