Quest Issue: Temple of Solusek Ro Quest Mobs

[Zereh]

Trying to get some Ronium for the Ivy Etched boots ranger quest but I am only at "indifferent" to Lord Searfire in the Temple of Solusek Ro. So he won't give me the mold I need to complete this.

I killed Shadowed men all morning [boring] with no change to my faction with Lord Searfire.

I then decided I'd try to the old bribery route and turn in 20gp to Rathmana Allin in SRo. He gives you the quest text correctly. But after the hand-in there is no message to confirm that you do indeed get the faction bump (or any message of any type for that matter).

Soooo, I guess I'll try the bloodstone and beta neutral route to see if I have any luck raising my faction with Lord Searfire that way.

But even if that ^^ solves my problem, the original faction oddities need to be addressed for future questers. And Rathmana needs to be fixed to hand out the correct faction bumps as well.

Editing to add: I just turned in 80 bloodstones and it had zero impact on my faction with Lord Searfire. I'm still at indifferent with him.
