OK, so a couple of days ago. a fellow bard calls me up and asks if I had still had the Kedge backbone (phinny backbone) to do an MQ for him, I said sure no problem, went over there to steamfont and do the MQ, I get the exp message.. and then I tell the guy, that I had to log. So I camped. Last night. the bard sends a tell to me that the MQ didn't work and he lost his stuff, and he had petition to get it back, and then asked if I could petition to get the backbone back... I said sure, but didn't expect to get it back because as we all know.. MQing is frowned on by SOE. But the GM on gave the backbone back to me.. I was surprized, he also gave me a warning about MQing being frowned on. No biggie to me. (why did even bother give it back to me to begin with I wondered, since I already have my epic) Anyways later that night, I send the tell to the bard that I got the backbone back, and to meet me in steamfont... And lo and behold.. when I try to give the backbone to Forpar, he gives it back and tells me its useless to him and doesn't need it... /boggle. I'm like man this sucks.. look at my faction.. I'm aimable.. so no problem there.. tried a few things like have the box up and move out of range of him.. nothing happens... Well.. looks likes you can no longer do an MQ... I think maybe that GM knew so thats why he gave me back the backbone.. Knowing that it wouldn't work... ohh well.. just means my bard friend is going to have to go camp that phinny now.. Anyone else have a problem with Forpar lately on MQing?

I finished that part of my epic about a month ago via a Backbone and skull MQ (I had the whip) so pre-patch it worked. If that's the case, it's a ninja nerf. Hmm, I still have a AC ring for JBoots I was considering giving to an alt. Hope that still works. :o Sinfonian

Blah! anyone else notice problems with this? I would hate for my guildie's phinny back bone to go to waste.....well and me have to pray for a drop for myself.....

Just did an MQ tonight. My monk had the backbone, skull and whip, my bard had the note. Handed in the 3 items from my monk (faction warmly), camped to my bard, used illusion gnome and faction song (faction amiably) and handed in note and got the mystical lute head. So...at least as of just after midnight Central time Jan. 6th it works...on Terris Thule at least. Bhill Diekatze

Thanks Bhill, that's good news.

:D Bhill You said you had some stuff on monk? are both on same acc? LOL i have a 65 necro but only one acc!! If i can MQ from necro to bard that would be sweet!! I think my necro could solo most of bard epic hehe :O)

From the sound of Bhills message, yes it was the same account. Problem is that his monk had warmly faction. A necro by definition is going to have terrible faction so careful. That is great news, hope it works for you Tsol! Sinfonian

OK.. I'm going to try this again... I'm a bit peeved that it didn't work.. I'm wondering if maybe I should have camped after getting that backbone back from the GM, or maybe Forpar was bugged.. *shrug*... I'll give a yell to the bard again, and give it a try.. crosses fingers..

Yep, monk and bard on same account. Might be able to raise faction with him by killing minotaurs (and Meldrath) in Steamfont. I'm thinking that was you I talked to the other day Kokapelly? My monks name is Ranador, don't know if you remember him. Bhill Diekatze

Not sure if this can be of any help, but I did MQ the whip from PoF when I did my turn in not too far from now, guy handed whip even before i handed the note from Vedico to Fropar, but everything went well..

need gnome faction??? here are some ideas to raise it, Keep in mind this will raise your faction with Fropar (gem choppers, king ak'anon and the eldritch collective) but lower it with others (Dark Reflection), but who cares about the evil gnomes anyway, heheh 1) Camp the heck out of the Mino Caves and Meldrath the Malignant. 2) AE kill the small camp of Minos near Lfay ent every 10min as they pop. 3) Kill the evil newbie quest characters, ie. Dirolensab and Diloperia 4) Turn in scrap metal (nice stackable item) that drops off of clockworks that you kill while terrorizing the mino caves. its turned into Sanfyrd Featherhead (fred sanferd?) at the bottom of Ak'anon about loc 2000 -250. 5) Turn in Mino Horns into Larkon Theador outside the mages guild in akanon.

OK, so a couple of days ago. a fellow bard calls me up and asks if I had still had the Kedge backbone (phinny backbone) to do an MQ for him, I said sure no problem, went over there to steamfont and do the MQ, I get the exp message.. and then I tell the guy, that I had to log. So I camped.

thats your problem, you got the exp thus you screwed the MQ by turning in the items last instead of the bard. i finished epic 2 days ago and did a 3 ppl MQ were i only had the Skull, one other had the bone and another the whip so it still works. Faction doesnt matter at all, as long as you are not KOS it will work. If you screw it dont yell BUG. Check your inventory you should have the Lute Head, still can MQ that tho.

hmmm... nver thought of that... we were grouped together when we did the turn in. I told him after I gave Forpar the backbone. to do his turn in. thats when I saw the exp message. maybe I shouldn't have been grouped with him? be that is it may.. he did petition.. and asked me to petition. and we got the items back.. just was surprized to get the item back because I wasn't expecting to get it back. I didn't say it wa bugged by the way.. I said nerfed or fixed.. hehe some say nerfed.. my opinion is that it was a long time in coming "FIX".. since we all know that SOE frowns on MQing. As of now, I heard that on other server it still works. And its possible that the GM gave me a buggered Backbone.. or the other possiblity is that Forpar still has a backbone on him.. thats why he keeps giveing it back to me.. (Sinfonian mentioned this as a possibility) Anyways told the other bard if he wanted to take a chance to try it out and see what happens.. He said, he'll just camp Phinny and get teh backbone that way or maybe try it out again after a major patch.

I'm miffed on this one Tsol. Like I've said, I had the backbone and skull MQ'd for me about a month ago (same server) and it worked fine. We were all grouped (people love bardspeed, hehe) and it worked like clockwork. I have NO CLUE what's wrong. Maybe I'll break down and pass along my AC ring to an alt finally to test out the MQ status on Morrell Thule. (just have to decide if my 48 cleric is better off getting Jboots when he can shortly get Run3, or should the 21 wizzy that I hardly ever play get them?) Let me know if I can help, Sinfonian

/giggle... just got word that the bard (Baso) just killed Forpar :lol Wants me to try it again, tonight when he respawns.. :lol If it don't work, kill the gnome!!!! :lol
