I recently came back to EQ after a two year long hiatus, (75 SK, mostly anguish gear) and i did the OT hammer quest before with the braids. After that I killed those golems when i was bored, eventually i got maxx KoS and couldnt run by without being attacked.

One day smithing i had a lot of different hammers because i was tinkering as well, well i destroyed the OT hammer by accident, but later i decided to quit so never bothered getting it again.

Well when i came back i decided i wanted it again, so started looking for ways to gain faction, mainly because i didnt want to do the whole charm thing, its a clever way of doing it, but i hate playing shrouds.

So i got bored reading here on alla's and started exploring a bit. I had read that a lot of zones that needed keys were now open, so i went to VP as i had never been in there before, just to see if i could kill a few dragons, just out of boredom. After a couple I looked at the faction hits, I was getting good faction for VS. So i figured wth, might as well stay awhile and see if it was good enough to get the faction i needed. Later a friend of mine sent me a tell asking if i wanted to do anything and I suggested she come get faction for an OT hammer, just for the sake of having it, (she was an 80 cleric)She decided to get faction for her hubby's pally and we went thru about 40 or so mobs, 1 named, most didnt hit very hard, 250ish - 400, took about an hour, by then i read in faction that my faction with VS could not possibly get any better.

We gated out and ran back to OT and sure i enough i was maxx ally (gnome sk, her hubby was warmly (human pally), and she was indifferent (high elf cleric), so me and the pally both got the hammer after turn in.

This is what i think is a good alternative to the braids and shrouds, i did the braids before and it took me days to collect enough, it was worth it when i was lvl 60, but if your high enough to solo or group in VP i'd definately do that if you dont like level'ing shrouds or gathering braids like me :D
Evil eye shroud works

I just did this quest about a week ago after leveling my wizard shroud to unlock evil eye. As a level 70 EE chanty, the charm landed on the first try.

A word of advice, if you are KOS in OT, you got about 15 seconds from when the charm lands on the npc until the goons get all over you. You can safely skip the dialogs and just hand in a jade to get the hammer. Then run really fast
Bard charmed @ lv55.

Charmed the foreman at lv55 on bard alt. Twisted Occlusion of sound + charm until it landed (mebbe 5 casts). Had Selo's on for runspeed safety. Much easier than wasting puppet strings for non-charm class :)
Try Shrouded.

I heard if your shrouded as an evil eye you can turn in the gem I'm current working on it but you might want to try it as a 50TH lvl evil eye or you might die. I tried as a 35 evil eye and was killed easy. Good luck and this beats killing 90 million berskers.

I submitted this information via the "Click Here to report a correction" link a couple days ago, but in the mean time, I figured I could post this here, too.

My wife and I killed him a couple days ago just for the fun of it, and he dropped a leather whip and about 7pp in cash and gave no faction hits, despite his affiliation with Venril Sathir.
puppet strings

i am a level 70 monk and just did this quest.. i bought puppet strings and charmed him.. quickly gave him a Jade before charm broke and he gave the Jade back .. wouldnt take it.. so i am wondering if this quest still works using the puppet strings.. i did everything according to the way others have done it and it just didnt work

I did this on the 10th, which was only one day before you tried it, and it worked fine once I was able to land the charm. Since there was no patch between our attempts, I don't see why it wouldn't have worked.

Are you sure the charm stuck? He's VERY magic resistant. Assuming you're KOS to him (and if you aren't, using Puppet Strings wasn't really necessary as you could just improve the faction with sarnak war braids), you shouldn't even have been able to initiate a trade with him at all...
got it

I just got this and tested it. The spot it teleports you is safe(as far as I can tell). I am an agnostic erudite who is "threatening" in there and the skeleton on the boat you port to was indifferent to me.
works

Just did the quest using puppet strings.. worked fine.

As of today, charming him no longer works for the turn in. I charmed him with Enslave Death, ranger friend tried the turn in..."Bah!! I will not work with one who has yet to prove his allegiance to Venril Sathir" was what he got.

The Charmer is the only person who can do the turn in. When you charm an NPC they become amiable to you but indifferent to your party members.
Necro's can charm him

I am a 53 necro and I used cojole undead to charm him and get my sledgehammer. Took about 5 trys but it worked long enough for me to get the hammer and FD.

The hammer to proc so it probably isn't good for a emergency situation. But to do some banking and stuff it is great.

The port in location doesn't seem very unsafe if you just put up invis vs. undead once you get there.
CHARM FUN

Yeah just throwing out necro can charm this guy too, just charmed him and did turn in. He resisted thrall of bones, but the higher level only 30 second necro charm worked fine. yay for charm turn ins

I tried the Essence of Dark Elf and was still apprehensive. Don't waste your money.

I think you missed the point of his post. You need both items not just the illusion. Illusion is just to sneak you in the door. The other item is to make him cough up the goods.
Questions

Can he be charmed or mezzed, then given the jade to recieve the Mallet? Or is Factioning the only way. Would really appreciate it. Thanks =)

I did this a few minutes ago with a 65 chanter that is VERY kos in the outpost after multiple VSR and VS kills. The foreman is very magic resistant but tash took care of that nicely. Used my best slow on him to make him hit less then used CoD to charm him. Gave him a jade and received the hammer.

However, a SK with me that was NOT kos but did not have good faction either did not receive the hammer when giving the jade. It seems the foreman may need amiable faction to give the hammer but I don't know the minimum faction is to get it. I know apprehensive is not good enough faction though.

We tried several variations of sneaking, illusions, and invis to get him to give the hammer without success. Only person to actually get the hammer was the chanter that was kos but had charm.

The foreman has to con amiable or better. Indifferent isn't good enough

Go inside the south gate, turn left. He's down near the boat that's under construction, against the south wall.

Getting better faction with this thing

What do I have to do to get better faction with this foreman? I'm curently apprehensive to it.
RE: Getting better faction with this thing

You have to turn in sarnak beserker braids to Captain Rottgrime. This is the only way to raise your Venril Sathir faction, which is the faction that all the dudes who hang out there are on. You need to turn in 4 braids at a time, but I always turn them in one at a time cause sometimes peeps have already turned in two or three so you can MQ it by accident/purpose if your lucky. Oh and as a DE I went from apprehensive to amiable with approx. 15-20 sets, so it does take some time to track all those beserkers down. Hope that helps.
Any xp from this?
# Jul 30 2002 at 10:33 AM Rating: Decent
Do we receive any experience from giving this creature the jade? or do we just receive the weapon?
You need faction boost
# Jul 26 2002 at 6:39 AM Rating: Decent
Jawnimus, you need either amiable faction or chanter/bard help you out with faction boost.
either you are human or iksar are KOS in outpost I think so u can't do the berzerker braid quest.
Sneak??
# Jul 09 2002 at 9:15 PM Rating: Default
im a lvl 30 Monk need a port item could i buy a jade sneak up behind and hand him the jade??? seems good in theory but would it work PLz help b4 i do something stupid:P
Just A Jade?
# Jun 22 2002 at 3:06 PM Rating: Default
All you have to turn in is a jade to this dude and you get the Mallet?

I really appreciated this section for helping me in this quest. I used to hunt inside KC all the time. Can;t tell you how many Skellys i killed but it was tons!! Anyway, being a troll Warrior i still had a trashed dubious faction in OT. I estimated handing in about 35 sets(140 braids!) just to get from Dubious to apprehensive. I am guessing i am half way to indifferent right now so another 20 sets or so and i should be done. Getting to Apprehensive was the real hard part for me
what the?

Doesn't this guy have loot? i want to see if he,s worth killin. Does he drop that whip?
Where

Where does this mallet port u to? would a human enchanter whos faction is completly ruined with VS port to OT with this safely? will the proc port me to a safe spot?
RE: Where
# Apr 22 2002 at 12:48 PM Rating: Decent
No, it's not technicly safe. The single skeleton worker that aggros is quite green and a fairly small problem. If you don't want to just kill him, you can easily root him, run off the boat without aggroing anything else, invis yourself and run out. It really poses no threat if you're high enough level to charm the foreman and get your hammer. Most likely if you have been told it's a major issue and not worth it, the characters who told you as much are pretty low level.
RE: Where
# Apr 10 2002 at 3:14 PM Rating: Decent

Ports to a boat on the shore of the OT. No, you can not port in safely. No, the port spot is not safe. There is a skeleton there that hits for 58 or so.
