New quest NPC by the Ak'anon strike force vendors +banker

[Sat Nov 29 18:34:41 2008] You say, 'Hail, Scribe Choone'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:41 2008] Scribe Choone says 'Hello there, friend. Would you happen to have a moment to speak with me about a [matter] of some importance?'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:46 2008] You say, 'matter'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:47 2008] Scribe Choone says 'First, allow me to introduce myself. I am Scribe Choone, one of Gimblefixx's gatherers of information. We left the caravan to investigate the rumors of a minotaur fortress in this region. Six of us went out, but only I made it back, for we were soon ambushed by angry minotaurs. The one they called Higoren was especially [brutal], seeming to take a fair amount of pleasure as he struck us down one at a time.'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:57 2008] You say, 'brutal'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:57 2008] Scribe Choone says 'We were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and were ill-equipped to fight. I barely escaped. Five good gnomes died to gain access to the minotaur lands, and by rights those deaths shall not have been for naught. What advance money Gimblefixx gave me to finish my reporting, I'll grant to you if you'll thin out the minotaur herd and bring me the tail of Higoren. Is that a [deal]?'
[Sat Nov 29 18:35:03 2008] You say, 'deal'
[Sat Nov 29 18:35:03 2008] You are not at the right level for this task. Note: Here is with a level 66 character

At level 85 saying Deal i received the quest: "Kicking Tail" Objective:
Killing ten minotaurs should make it easier for Choone to do his work -0/10 - Dragonscale hills
Killing the minotaur Higoren will put Choone more at ease. -0/1-Dragonscale hills
Take Higoren's tail for proof of his demise.-0/1-Dragonscale Hills
Deliver the tail to Choone -0/1-Dragonscale hills

Handing in the tail:
[Sat Nov 29 20:25:12 2008] Your task 'Kicking Tail' has been updated.
[Sat Nov 29 20:25:12 2008] Scribe Choone says 'Scribe Choone looks at you and smiles. 'You killed Higoren! The souls of my companions can now rest in peace. Thanks to your efforts, I'll be able to get around in the minotaur-held area a little easier now. Thank you so much. Here is your reward.''

Some more information
Found Higoren in the minotaur mines (NOT the fort as mentioned in the quest dialogue) at location -998.08, 3263.91, -242.46 He does NOT see invis.
Fight is straight forward, tries to run at low health.
When agroed:
[Sat Nov 29 20:05:06 2008] You begin casting Sha's Legacy.
[Sat Nov 29 20:05:08 2008] Higoren says 'Higoren charges toward you, eager to spil your blood.'
When killed:
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] Your faction standing with Minions of Meldrath could not possibly get any worse.
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] Your faction standing with Brownie Rebels got better.
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] You gain group leadership experience!
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] You gain party experience!!
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] Higoren's corpse says 'Higoren roars his last, and settles to the ground, dead.'


Does not have a reward yet, handing in the tail did not give me anything at this point. This quest is availble on the Test Server

just found this guy in Dragonscale Hills. have no idea what he's for. Fenden Helter. cons dark blue to lvl 80 so 75-79 in lvl. looks like a naked human male (unequiped...) and did not respond to hails. regards me indifferently and also sees invis. is standing inside Ladies of the Light tower on right side of door when facing door from inside (where you appear after GH port)

Please add Automated Banking Unit III. He is a Banker on Ak'Anon Strike Force V faction and he CAN be used even at dubious faction (as all bankers can be used at any faction from Ready to Attack to Ally) and is also lvl 80. :)

He is located right beside Automated Vending Unit II. Also note the Banker and both Suppliers see invis so you don't have to remove invis to check faction.

What is up with the drops in this zone? There is almost nothing for Clerics. I have tons of armor drops that are either "WAR RNG MNK BRD ROG BST BER " or "RNG SHD DRU SHM NEC WIZ MAG ENC BST". Besides the "Flail of Redemption" and a couple of All/All there is nothing for Clerics here, or Pally/SK's by the look of it.

You say, 'Hail, Gimblefixx'

Gimblefixx says 'Hello there! These certainly are interesting times, my friend. Keeps me busy, it does. Every gnome, dwarf, and elf has come by here to tell me one amazing story after another. It's almost to the point where these stories are getting boring. What we really need is an amazing story, something truly fantastic. I don't suppose you know anything like that? No, I imagine not. But maybe you're a good investigator. Are you [willing to] look into a lead for me?'

You say, 'i am willing to'

Gimblefixx says 'Well, that's good to hear. I'd look into this myself, but I have to stay here to keep in touch with everything. One of my contacts found this odd looking item. I don't know what it is, but it's obviously finely crafted. One of the nicest pieces of work I've ever seen. Clearly gnomish. I'd like to make a deal with you. I'll give you this thing on two conditions. You find the rest of the device and you tell me the story that comes along with it. How does that sound to you? Is it [a deal]?'


You say, 'its a deal'
You have been assigned the task 'The Search for the Ultimate Story'.

Gimblefixx says 'Great. I'll show you the thing now, but I'm only giving it to you if I'm convinced you have the rest of the device, whatever it is.' Gimblefixx shows you a finely forged and silver filigreed rod. The rod is thin and about seven inches long, with a thread at one end and eight threaded holes along its length at the other end. 'I'm certain it's gnomish, probably part of some masterwork of tinkering skill. It might even be made by Meldrath himself, but he rarely uses silver. It's been ages since anyone has taken the time or had the skill to make something this detailed, this finely crafted. So find the rest of it and I'll give you this piece, as long as you give me the whole story and figure out what it is and how it's used.'

Targeted (NPC): Gimblefixx
Right click on the NPC to consider him.
You must turn in all quest items at once in order to complete this quest.

--------------------------------------
The Search for the Ultimate Story
Turn in the following (all are random drops from minotaurs):
-Crank Handle with Silver Figurine
-Small Silverthread Sack
-Small Silver Clockwork Device
--------------------------------------
Your task 'The Search for the Ultimate Story' has been updated.

Gimblefixx says 'Well done! As promised, I will give you the piece I have. I see it all fitting together now to make a key of some sort. Most curious indeed! I wonder what this key fits. Take it and bring me back further news for my story.'

Reward is a 'Clockwork Key'.

This quest NPC is on the top level of the Citadel of Tri'Qaras and gives a faction quest against "Brownies". level 68 too low even for faction quest. This quest appears to require a faction higher than the Wind Nymph quest.
