Quest Issue: Gnoll Fangs being eaten 1/4

[murrayh81]

I turned in 3 gnoll teeth to Lysbith Mcnaff (sp?) in Halas per her dialog. She gave me one set of faction hits and 1 item. The last time I did this I recieved 3 items and 3 sets of faction hits. Additionally, the exp I recieved as about 1 blue bubble at 9, which is the reward for 1 tooth, at least in my experience.

I am not sure if this is what the original poster was talking about, but I also heard (yesterday) from a character in-game that the quest was not responding correctly.

The test I conducted occurred at about 10:20pm Pacific on 10/26, and I was playing my human monk named Mystache. I hope this highlights the problem with real data.

Ah okay well that is the problem.

The bug with her quest was that she was previously rewarding exp and items for every fang. It should be for every 3, as she states in dialogue.

I've placed a bounty on the gnolls o'Blackburrow. Their whelps have invaded our land and we must carry the fight into their dens. Join the fight and return three gnoll fangs as proof of yer victory in Blackburrow. Do so, and earn the respect o' the Wolves o' the North.

Captain Tillin's gnoll fang quest in Qeynos should be better than Lysbith's.

Nilbog:

1. Are you saying that the way it is now (turn in 3, and get a reward commensurate with 1 tooth), is the way it should be working, and therefore will not be changed?

-or-

2. Did the changes made essentially nerf the better of the two turn-in possibilities, and those unintended changes will be fixed.

Making it so you can turn in 1 tooth at a time and get an equal reward to the Qeynos turn-in quest makes sense. Paying an extra bounty for 3 teeth at once is what she advertises, and what has been occurring. (I will be honest and state that I have no idea of how "classic" that extra bounty was).

Many people save their fangs up and trek to Halas, because of the extra reward of the bounty. This incentive helps young barbs out, because most higher level characters stop to buff, heal and help them (especially with the vengefuls).
