I agree with drool's findings. I have a druid that I tanked only karana residents faction on, and cons dubious to me now. So I'm pretty confident he's on karana residents.

Yeah, they changed it at some point. But back in the day, everything (nearly) was attack/kilable.

This guy conned exactly the same as farmers to over 25 diff combinations of characters spanning various races and religions..

I am 98% sure he is on karana residents just like the farmers.

What is interesting, is that the barkeep and innkeep mobs have a diff con profile.. no idea what they are on.

Sometimes killing an NPC gives one hit that is way higher than the rest, when this happens it is generally their "home" faction --though not necessarily.

Yeah, the problem is, these guys are all merchants and now not attackable.

Updated.

Unfortunately there is no consistent rule for NPC being attackable or not. This NPC must of been attackable at one time (if the faction hits listed previously were correct) but then again it could of just been misinformation that was never contradicted until now.
On Bilbus Briar, some observations

As of 9/16/03 Bilbus Briar is no longer lvl 30. He now cons red to a 37 Ranger, cannot be Harmonied, hits for upwards of 132 and does agro the surrounding guards (though not Brother Nallin, oddly enough). Whether or not he is a place holder for Watchman Drixlin (sp?) remains to be seen, as I have been unable to kill him to see.
Happy hunting.

Edit: Came back later and indeed Drixlin was in Bilbus' spot. Was at 9pm gametime and he has some text which says he will disappear when the dial reads 8 (or somesuch thing) which I take to mean he despawns at 8am gametime.

Also, despite what RaeinOfTorv says (a couple of posts down from here) Dexlin is indeed a gnome and Capt. Linarius was at the top of the tower when Dexlin was in Bilbus' location.

Hope the helps.

What faction?
# Dec 09 2002 at 10:34 PM Rating: Decent
ss from when i killed him

problem is, im scowling to karana residents, kindly to guards, and amiable to priests and knights due to the bandit sash quest.

what are they on mixed factions, some npcs?

Killing him

I'm still trying to figure out what faction he's on... *sigh* but I'm starting to toy with the idea of just killing him to find out. Problem is killing him without aggroing all the guards around him - probably have to try a similar tactic to that used for the named Freeport Militia guy pallies need to kill for some big quest - someone aggroes the guards, pulls them to SK zone. In the meantime I aggro Bilbis, pull him up the coast and smack him down.

Problem is I killed SOMETHING in SK which dropped my faction with him to the point where he'll no longer sell to me. I'm not sure if killing him will help the faction but it should at least answer the question for me.

Watchman boots

Hes place holder for theGnomish watchman that gives the box for the quest for the watchman boots, anyone on the nameless who can kill him and mind helping me do the quest? shoot me a tell

Not totally true. The guard isn't gnomish and Briar doesn't have to die in order for the guard to appear. The guard randomly spawns at night depending on wether or not the captain is on the top of the tower or at the base (he spawns more often when the captain is at the bottom, I believe). I have only seen him at night and only twice.
Word, not law

...but I'd think he'd be tied to either Karana Resident or any of the Qeynos factions. Just a thought.

How do I fix my faction so that Bilbis will sell to me without having to sneak?
RE: Faction
# Apr 18 2001 at 2:09 AM Rating: Default
Yes i also would like to know what faction Bilbis is tied to
North K, I thought...

This guy is in the tower at the north end of the bridge in North Karana, on the second floor. Is he in SK as well?
