War Suppliers in Freeport and NeriakFollow

Archimedus Ragnarok and Pankki Hankki of the Legions of Ragnarok on Tribunal have discovered that by visiting the War Suppliers in Freeport or Neriak Foreign Quarter will yeild experience gains, faction, and various potions such as EXP potoins and illusion potions. In Freeport, see Anamain The Quartermaster, War Supplier, located in the West Freeport Gatehouse tower. Turning in old weaopns (rusty weaopns, cracked staffs, etc) yields facion gains with "The Guardian's Alliance" faction. I suspect that this has something to do with the upcomming war. Several other agents on Tribunal are exploring the suppliers in Neriak.

(Bushnell the gnome here) The war supplier in Ak'Anon is Tinkerer Sprocketsnik. He asks you to go get parts from Izibat in Shadowhaven, who is in the building with the library, right next to the library. Izibat says he wants robes (he sells robes). He gives you nothing back for his own robes, and gives back anything, like a tunic, that does not say "robe," even if it says "robes." For most kinds of robe, he gives you a Polished Alloy Cog. For a Robe of Benefits and Flowing Black Robe, he gives you an Imbued Sprocket. Robe of Enshroudment, Blackened Crystilline Robe, and Noble's Robe yield A Bundle of Parts. Ghostly Robe yielded a Tempered Spring. Siren Scale Robe yielded a Coil of Wire.

I have heard a rumor that the war suppliers can give a 30% exp potion. I tried giving various combinations of the five items to Sprocketsnik, but the only thing I got was a dark elf illusion potion. Usually he only took one thing, gave the rest back, and only yielded faction.

Rorigon the Human of Fennin Ro did the Freeport quest, and got an Elixir of Learning (no trade - increases the amount of exp you get by 60% for up to 15 minutes). He said it was random, trading in one item at a time.

Quartermaster Mivten in Rivervale is the War Supplier. Hand him food or drink. Just to add in my experience, the items they give back seem to be totally random. They either give an illusion potion, or one of the 3 xp potions, or nothing at all (of course a positive faction hit with the guardians alliance every time). Also to note, you can use the "find" button for location.

(Bushnell here) The troll war supplier in Neriak wants troll-sized armor, heavy weapons, and shields. He gives DarkSupplier faction.

With all of the war suppliers, they will take the same item once, then refuse it, then take it. Hailing them seems to help get them to take the item - has anyone had any luck with getting them to take items more consistently?

I am a barbarian shaman, and the Freeport guy won't take anything from me, any ideas? There was a human monk there too and he could not get him to take anything.

/edit The monk finally got it to accept, and I got the guy in Halas to accept.

Well after 100 turn ins or so, I got approximately 10 illusion potions and one minor exp potion.

Speed: give him 4 items, if they reject you have them on your cursor, then you can click on him 4 times (or 3 or whatever) and he takes when the timer is up. He never takes more than one item, but it went a lot faster this way. I kept giving him mostly daggers.

As said above, use the find button, that's how I found the Halas one.

Has anyone confirmed: Does it have to be home city, of was the Freeport one being just temporarily uncooperative?

any one know what the Vah Shir are supposed to do in all this?

Was at work and limited for time, but visited the riverdale one with my 66 Halfing Rogue, gave in 3 stacks of Iron Rations and also a 1/2 stack of Holy cakes as he said they especailly wanted magic food and drink. I did not get anything extra for the magic food. I got 1 essence of ogre during the hand in of the 3 stacks of iron rations. My faction before I started was kindly and it was the same when I was done. I got exp on my halfling for the first 5 iron rations I handed in, switching to the holy cakes after all Iron Rations were done did not get me exp. It did not move my experience bar at all though.

Note there were no negative faction hits. Therefore it could be possible for some ie gnomes, erudites and humans to get both factions up. I will try to see if dark elf mask enables handin at neriak later tonight.

I also bought up my 24 froggie cleric to see if his experience would be noticable. I handed in two items and got no exp at all, only faction. His faction was indiff to start and was same after the two hand ins.

Q. I wonder why the faction was different to start for froggie and halfling? The level or race perhaps? Or does some other faction influence it?

There's a high elf supplier in Kelethin next to the half and wood elven ones. I assume that's your lady.

The gnomish, troll, and dark elf war suppliers are currently dying over and over, too quickly to even click on them, at least on Fennin Ro. You get the message that they died with their usual name, but all three of them looked like a naked male human. Very strange ....

They are all gone, I think. Went to the Halas one, wasn't there, guildies said the rest are gone too.
