Quest Issue: King Tormax's Head

[Colgate]

nilbog mentioned in other threads that the current faction required to turn in King Tormax's Head to Lord Yelinak was set at kindly, and the faction required to turn it into Dain Frostreaver IV was set at ally

there are basically zero posts in 2000/2001 about these quests, 2002 seems to be the very earliest that people were discussing these

most posts suggest that amiably will work, and the general consensus was that if the NPC responded to you with quest text, which was given at amiably, then the turn-in was also possible

turn-in to Lord Yelinak:

Going to go cry now. Everyone else loves me but Yelniak says I'm a lump of talking refuse. =( But wait . . . what's this? I'm an enchantress! /cast collaboration!! /watches as Lord Yelinak's demeanor towards her turns from apprehensive to amiable and tries the Hail once more.

/skips merrily home with her new White Dragon Helm =)

EDIT: 24 Frost Giant Toes, 10 Helms, 6 Storm giant toes and I am now amiable. The quest WORKS (so I guess I am high amiable...). Woot! Thanks for the boots Yeli! (Now get ready for some dragon smack-down you giant toe loving freak!)

2) You only need mid to high Amiable faction to do the turn-in. You don't need even close to max Ally. Lord Yelinak was indifferent to me this morning when I conned him, I used Collaboration (I'm an Enchanter, raises faction by 300), and he was Amiable and responded to me allowing me to do the turn-in. From what I understand, Indifferent faction range is 0 to 99, and Amiable is 100 to 499. So with Collaboration, I had between 300 and 399, which puts my faction range in mid to high Amiable range.

3) As someone else posted, if Yelinak doesn't respond to you, you're not standing in the correct place. You need to be standing under him, pretty much in his stomach to get the hail response. If you're in the correct place, you will *always* get a response of some sort. If your faction isn't high enough, he'll call you talking refuse or some other form of insult, if your faction is high enough, he'll talk and give you the quest.

Went & Handed in another 10 Helms & conned him again, was still Amiably, Hailed him & .......
Still nothing ......

So I decided to get right under him, standing inside him even, & I hailed him again. Woot, it worked, he talked to me, I handed him the White DRagon Helm, got the sword, handed the sword back, & got the boots !!!!!

as for turning it in to Dain, there are hardly any posts anywhere about this(99% of players would rather have White Dragon Helm or White Dragonscale Boots than Tri-Plated Golden Hackle Hammer on PvE servers)

there is a post from 2009 that confirms that the turn in worked at kindly for him

2009 post:

I can confirm this turn in with Kindly faction. Didn't try with lower.

This is good enough for the meantime. Any additional research can be posted for changes.

Pending update:
-Lord Yelinak will accept Tormax's head at amiable or better faction.
-Dain Frostreaver will accept Tormax's head at kindly or better faction.
