''Must be Apprehensive to [[Dark Bargainers]]''

''Find [[Lokar To`Biath]] in the library of the 3rd Gate at +895, -1245. Responded to hails as an indifferent agnostic DE enchanter.''

You say, 'Hail, Lokar To`Biath.'

: Lokar To`Biath says, 'I am the Scribe of Innoruuk. If you do not have business with me, begone!'

You say, 'Are you a Scribe of Dal?'

: Lokar To`Biath says 'The Scribes of Dal? All of them are long since [dead].. or at least most would say that.'

You say, 'Why are they Dead?'

: Lokar To`Biath says 'Perhaps, perhaps not. I cannot remember, but perhaps Innoruuk would help me remember should you tithe him a bottle of red wine from the Blind Fish.'

'''Give him a [[Red Wine]] (up to 4 unstacked). It can be from anywhere, not just the Blind Fish. The nearest bar might be the Cuisine Excelsior, which is also conveniently devoid of hostile patrons.'''

: Lokar To`Biath says 'Ah, yes, let me pray to our god.. Yes, Innoruuk has given me wisdom. A Scribe of Dal still exists, disguised as a barkeep in the Blind Fish. This information will not help you though, for she has sworn a [vow] of silence and will not speak of the Dal.'

''Note: This is one of the best quests to gain faction with the [[Dark Bargainers]] ([[Neriak]] Residents) and with [[Dreadguard Outer]] and [[Dreadguard Inner]] as it boosts the factions without giving you faction loss with anyone else. 151 turn-ins will take an Iksar Necromancer or Shadow Knight from scowling to dubious with the Neriak guards. It took between 401 and 460 turn-ins to get an Iksar Monk to dubious, without any other faction work. The experience reward is roughly 1/40th of a blue bubble at level 3, so the experience benefits quickly diminish.''<br>
''It took 900 turn ins to get a Tunare worshipping wood-elf ranger to dubious with the inner guards.'' <br>
''Meanwhile, 540 hand-ins was still not enough to take a wood-elf rogue to dubious with the guards even long after the citizens started to con warmly; it was about 700 turn-ins until the guards stopped wanting to murder her. Dark elves much really hate their woodland cousins...'' <br>
''26 turn ins brought Lokar To`Biath (the quest giver) from the bottom of Kindly to the bottom of Warmly, indicating that the quest likely gives +10 Dark Bargainers faction per turn in.''

''Note: With Velious the spell [[Form of the Great Bear]] allows shamans to do this quest or at least talk to him for turn-ins , If shamans try for this watch out for the clerics and shadow knights they will want to murder you. I started as warmly from a barbarian shaman so try this idea if you're into faction quest. '' Pexar Spiritweaver 3/22/16

''Note: [[Ball of Golem Clay]] will NOT improve faction with Lokar.'' Eniveh 5-May-2024
* As a Woodelf Druid, the Illusion: Earth Elemental did improve the faction but only to Threatening, however Lokar did not aggro me (at lvl 57). I was able to use the invis trick (open trade window, cast invis, complete turn-in) to still gain faction. Although much slower having to recast invis every turn in, but still possible. -Shmagreggy, Blue Server, 12/19/2024
