I just want to make sure I understand. So the slave is going to be implemented in Droga, not FM? I know from looking at comments left on the quest that at some point he was moved out of Droga, so is Droga just where the quest was at this point in the live timeline?

That is correct. The original quest design had them in droga making for a much more dangerous and exciting adventure [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] don't forget to invis.

They were moved to FM after the Droga revamp in late 2003.

Regarding faction:

This thread says the quest version is on scaledmystics. The other version is factionless.

Going with this information unless something else is provided.

Well ok, but if there is a faction requirement over amiable, even Iksar monks will have to do faction work to complete quest. Seems like info, typo, or *actual* faction vs. what the dialogue says, is suspect. Swift Tails is monks, Scaled Mystics is shamans. /shrug

This should have went in with the last update, but it was forgotten on the timeline.

I'm writing this now, and have a couple of questions.

From reading guides, it appears there should be 2 different versions of 'an iksar slave' and a single 'a crazed iksar slave' in the Droga jail cell. Comments suggest that one of the 'an iksar' slaves responds to keywords, and the other does not (eats items). Does anyone have more information about this step?

Also according to comments this spawngroup should pop/depop after a day elapses. Is this correct?

Yes there were a couple versions of an iksar slave and only the correct one responds to you when you ask "are you Veltar?" The mob repopped about every 10 min.

These correct spot is in the jail in Droga.

The way it was on live was that any iksar monk could do the whole quest without doing any faction work. If any humans wanted to do the quest they had to do faction work.

Iksar monks are naturally amiable to ScaledMystics. I saw no faction requirement on quest aside from non-kos, so it is currently written as doable at >= dubious.

Perfect. That was my only concern, for the good of the all, that iksar monks not find themselves having to up their faction standings to do this. It wouldnt make sense and ofc the rants would begin =)

Thanks Nilbog, great work.

Any idea on when it will get implemented? Thanks.

I've already made my bronze shackle. An iksar master is unresponsive the 'Where is your student?' and all other inquiries I made about his missing student.

There has not been an actual patch since this was updated. The hotfix posted on the 2nd was not a real patch. The next patch will most likely be in a few weeks for the March 2001 update, but the exact timing will not be given.
