Bloodsaber Plague = Bread shipment quests please!

[Aalderon Crystafire]

Way back when during the Karana plague there were a series of quests all across Norrath that would have you collect the lore no drop "Loaves of Bread item" and deliver it to the appropriate NPC for your city.

The bread was collected from Jarlen Meadowgreen in South Karanas and they also later dropped in Runnyeye revamp. This was a great time to raise city factions as you would get hits wherever you delivered and was in fact the ONLY time period that you could raise "Merchants of Ogguk" faction. The XP was also amazing but was quickly nerfed in the July patch..

This quest is definatly not working. When hailed, Karn does not give the prompt: You wouldn't happen to [be a baker] anymore. Has anyone asked a GM?

Since the GM event to remove the plague from the Karanas, the quest is broken. The food supply is unhindered, and no further deliveries are necessary.

Which is a shame because this was a nice quest to do.

It would appear that this quest existed only due to the plague in the Karanas. Since the plague is gone, the merchants no longer need help getting their goods, hence no more quests. I've noticed that the bread shipment quest (and in some cases the muffin quest) is no longer given out by merchants who used to during the plague. It's a darn shame because it was no-brainer way to raise faction with the guards of Oggok and Clurg so that anyone could do the stein of moggok quest.

It is still profitable at lvl 28. Just don't get jack crap for EXP anymore. I have been making atleast 1 to 2 pp off the quest each time..and that is pretty helpful since lvl 29 spells are **** expensive as a druid.



The most notable and only one recorded on the wiki was in Qeynos http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Bread_Shipment.

Here are some posts from allakhazam during the time.. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=1261

If this is a quest that you can do repeatedly, and you can sit inside the Bakers shop without being spotted by someone you are kos with, then I can tell you what, going in and making stacks of muffins is a lot less work than killing gnolls in BB for faction.
My Iskar monk (15th lv) has killed enough gnolls to have 60 gnoll teeth to hand in. No faction changes visible yet. Handing in the teeth is going to mean a lot of running around in wolf form with a friendly druid at hand. Maybe I will get a faction change finally (yes I know about handing in the stones, and then the brew after). After that, muffins looks like a good option, although monk guild improvements would have been welcome from this quest as well.

=============
Food shortages cause merchants concern
=============
A poor harvest and damaged crops are leaving some merchants short of cretain baked goods. Karn Tassen, local merchant, had this to say about the food shortage.
"It is hard enough to scrape by and make enough money to pay your taxes in this town. Now with this blasted plague affecting everything, I'm starting to run out of stock. It's a mess I tell you."

A call has gone to independant bakers to assist our local merchants and those abroad in keeping their supplies properly stocked. Anyone interested in assisting the community in this time of need should inquire local members of the Merchants of Qeynos. Those traveling abroad are urged to contact the Coalition of Trade Folks.

You can also get a similar quest from the merchants in Neriak, both in the Foreign Quarter and the Commons. Factions raised are the Dark Bargainers, Dread Inner and outer Guard. I'm also told that one can get this quest from merchants in Freeport, raising faction with the merchants there.




OGGOK VERSION (FEERROTT) also here (http://www.tokyo2001.com/game/eq/que...eerrott02.html)

>Hail, Innkeep Morpa

>What loaves of bread?

>Hail Jarlen Meadowgreen.

>I want a shipment of bread loaves

So, ya want some of my bread is that it?
Well, you've come to the right place I'd say.
My brothers told me the market was ripe for that sort of thing so I decided to move on over here. Anyway, hand over two gold pieces and I'll give ya a sack of bread made by me own two hands.


2gp

Jarlen Meadowgreen bites the two gold pieces and says,

'Yup, that's real gold alright. Good enough then, here ya are.
Stop back any time and we'll do business again.'

The exp is great even at lvl 26 i still get the same exp as killing something 3 lvls higher than me, and then all my mana is wasted, no this quest is great i have done it since i was lvl 19 and now im 26 just bound myself next to jarlen in s karena and ported and gated back and forth to ferrot, Innkeep Gub takes the bread and gives 1-4pp plus lots of nice exp and faction with guards and clurg and merchants in oggok, i can now do the stein of moggok quest also thanks to this quest. Im still dubios to innkeep gub, but that doesnt seem to matter it works anyway, in wolf form however he looks warmly upon me... guards in oggok are indiff to me. Im a wood elf druid btw...

The merchant for the Oggok faction version of this quest is Innkeep Morpa, who is actually in the Feerott, not Oggok itself. You only need to be dubious to do the quest (wolf form gets you to indifferent). She's in one of the huts on the road that leads to the city. It gives faction boosts for Clurg, the merchants of Oggok, and the guards of Oggok.

BTW, I've noticed that most bread merchants in several zones give the same bread/muffin quests. Different factions raised, of course.

I also got this quest from Innkeep Reslon (sp?) in West Karana. That may help with people who cant get into Qeynos.

At this time I didnt know where Meadowgreen was though.

Thanks

I, as a agnostic dark elf wizard did this quest 3 or 4 times in kelethin (merchant is the innkeeper just up from newbie lift, on same platform as the forge) and I got my faction from "scowls" to "threatening" I will do it a few more times so I can actually bank/shop in kelethin. The factions in kelethin are all positive, they were as follows :
kelethin merchants
feydark's champions
anti-mage
and something else i cant remember.

I was wondering if there is similar quests in felwithe and erud. I really want to do mystic cloak quest.

Faction


Hey guys, this whole discussion of this quest has neglected one HUGE aspect of it: FACTION.

I'm an agnostic Erudite wiz, and so i was apprehensive to guards and merchants in gfay. Unfortunately, I like to do my banking there, inlcuding the selling of my loot, but I hated getting bad prices for all my stuff.

Well, this quest gives you 4 positive factions:

Your faction standing with KelethinMerchants got better.
Your faction standing with FaydarksChampions got better.
Your faction standing with EmeraldWarriors got better.
Your faction standing with Anti-Mage got better.


For me this was a big plus, in about 6 trips the merchants were indifferent, another 30 they turned aimably, and about 60 trips total the guards turned indifferent.

This quest is worth doing a few times if you want your gfay merchant faction to be nice and high.

I will be reposting this in bugs but I wanted to get some attention here and ask the help of from any in our community that either remember these quests or would like to help with additional research. Jarlen Meadowgreen is currently not in SK nor do any of the mentioned merchants have any dialogue for him at the moment.
