    Hardam Stonegrinder says 'I'm simply lookin for someone to take me box of [goods] here to my friend in the bazaar, his name is Faeroi and he will know what to do with them.'

    I did this quest on 11/2/16, and there needs to be a correction made.

    [Wed Nov 02 13:12:08 2016] Faeroi says 'Ah Hardam sent you eh. Fair enough then, please let him know I will get to selling these goods as soon as possible and please let him know that the helm will be done soon. All I need is a certain [piece].'

    [Wed Nov 02 13:12:23 2016] You say, 'piece'

If you wanted to be a big help, any rhino beetles horn would do fine. Bring one to me and I can then finish Hardam's helm and send it back to his shop in your hands.'

    Now, here is the rest of the text once you go out and get yourself a Rhino Beetle Horn and give it to Faeroi.

    [Wed Nov 02 13:39:48 2016] Faeroi says 'Its good to see you again so soon Hazan. I knew that you would be able to assist me in this task. As I said , here is Hardams finished helm. Please return it to him for me as I cannot leave my booth here.'

    Now let's take the item [Hardam's Custom Helm] to Hardam (no link to item could be found).

    [Wed Nov 02 13:42:37 2016] Hardam Stonegrinder says 'Ah what a pleasant surprise indeed it seems my Helm is done! Many thanks for all your help once again Hazan. And safe travels to you.'

    Hardam will not respond to "goods" in dialogue in order for a PC to receive a box, presumably since the Bazaar redesign, since Faeroi is no longer to be found in the Bazaar (at least that I can find).

    If you give Faeroi the Rhino Beetle Horn he says..

    Faeroi says "Its good to see you again so soon Xeiko. I knew that you would be able to assist me in this task. As I said, here is Hardams finished helm. Please return it to him for me as I cannot leave my booth here."

    Your faction standing with House of Stout got better.
    Your faction standing with Traders of the Haven got better.
    You gain experience.

    He gives you Hardams Custom Helm.
    Lore Item, No Drop
    Class: none
    Race: none

    you then run to Shadowhaven and give Hardam Stonegrinder (loc: N318, 1461, N33 - little people section, building behind forge) his helm.

    Hardam Stonegrinder says, "Ah, what a pleasant surprise indeed it seems my Helm is done! Many thanks for all your help once again Xeiko. And safe travels to you."

    Your faction standing with House of Stout got better.
    Your faction standing with Traders of the Haven got better.
    You gain experience.

    There you go:)

    ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS "I WILL TAKE THE GOODS" AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE BOX. NOT FOR SURE IF HE WILL DO IT THE FIRST TIME YOU TALK TO HIM BUT ONLY TAKES ME ABOUT 2MINUTES TO DO THIS QUEST WITH SOW ON.
    Faction, Charisma, and Prices
    # Nov 05 2003 at 12:22 PM Rating: Decent
    Barring a few vendors that are considered greedy, this is what I know of pricing:

    The vendors in your hometown guildhouse will give you their best prices at a Charisma of 93.

    With a faction of INDIFFERENT or better, a Charisma of 104 will get you the "best" prices.

    With a faction of APPREHENSIVE, a Charisma of 132 will do the trick.

    Note: large ticket items may see a difference of a few pp here and there with more charisma and the same faction, but when you're spending 150pp+ whats 2pp?
    apprehensive to indifferent

    Maybe, just maybe this will have something to do with the second quest? Kvaknak horn? Just a thought???
    RE: Rhino Beetle Horn
    # Aug 21 2003 at 11:16 AM Rating: Decent
    I gave Faeroi a Rhino Beetle Horn all he gave me was a helmet to give back to Hardam. I turned it in and just got more faction and XP....
    Is this one broken...?
    # Aug 10 2003 at 5:13 PM Rating: Decent
    Has anybody done this quest recently? Hardam says, "... as soon as I can get some dern time to deliver my [payment] to the commissioner."

    I've tried the different combinations off of payment but he just looks at me like I'm babbling... any clues? I've done the Traders of the Haven quest if that makes a difference...

    Thanks!
    RE: Is this one broken...?
    # Aug 21 2003 at 11:13 AM Rating: Decent
    Just say " What payment " and it will work just did this again last night.
    NOT a RHINO horn

    This is only part of the quest but this much is doable with the TotV (Traders of the Haven) quest:
    https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=1449

    1.Say "I will deliver the goods". Take the box to Hardam Stonegrinder (n316,p1477) in the bazaar.
    2.In bazaar go to Nexus Bank and go north following the wall to find Faeroi (n593,p149). He will not respond to hails, just give the box to him.

    As a 8th level Troll it seemed to give me a 1/4 blue of XP, and took 3 times for any changes in faction.
    Can I quest it more then once?
    # Oct 25 2002 at 12:16 PM Rating: Default
    Can this quest be done several times to raise the fraction several times? Or do i need to do the amulet quest to be able to trade in SH??

    Yes, you can complete most any quest over and over. Unless the quest involves recieveing a no-drop item, you just wont get a duplicate item.
    RE: Can I quest it more then once?
    # Jan 06 2003 at 5:09 PM Rating: Default
    Actually that is incorrect information. You can do a No-Drop quest thousands of times. You cannot however do a quest that has a LORE item more then once
    RE: Can I quest it more then once?
    # Feb 05 2003 at 5:42 PM Rating: Default
    still wrong u can do either quest as much as u want u just wont get the lore item more then once it will tell u , cant have duplicat lore items but u will get the faction or u can destroy the lore item right before turn in .. u can even do the epic quests more then once u just wont get the reward again unless u destroy first one

    That is mostly correct, however, you do not get the lore item message. You do the turn-in, get any faction and exp, and no lore item message. However, you also don't get a second item.

    Rhino BEETLE horns drop off beetles in shadeweaver's thicket or in the pit in Shar Vahl. My bard has (or had) a thousand of 'em

    # Jun 22 2002 at 11:33 AM Rating: Default
    Another way to have at least better prices, if you're in shadow haven just for that reason, is to Sneak. It makes you indifferent, and I have found that the prices are just as good as amiable. Of course, this would take the fun out of doing quests so you are amiable (or whatever) or you don't have sneak. Just so you know if you are rogue, halfling, ranger, monk, or vah shir who has vendor troubles =)

    from what I have gathered you dont get better prices from better faction....you get better prices from your lvl of charisma...or "CHA" for the ones who dont remember human speech .. lol


    ....oh...sorry ....and to add: sneaking only allows you to be able to get a response from NPCs that wouldn't normally deal with you BECAUSE of faction...I could be wrond but that has been my "EXP".

    best way to faction up for house of stout
    # May 15 2002 at 4:38 PM Rating: Decent
    The best way is to deliver the food to the dwarves in Padual Caverns. Talk to the gnome standing in the corner by the rooster inn in the common section of Shadowhaven. He will give it to you if you have done the trade commisioner quest. It made me amible with all the shorties in Shadowhaven. Becareful in Paduala Caverns if everything doesnt con green to you Stuff will agro. And you will die. Good luck

    #Anonymous, Posted: Feb 12 2002 at 5:33 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This is just genious on verant's part, make the game even MORE boring by making you do these piddly quests to raise your faction... What is the purpose of this? All it does is slows the game down even more and make people even more mad at them. I swear, they need to think about things before they put all this crap in. It's annoying, what company annoys their customers??? They're the only people who could get away with crap like this, and I have no idea why we let them. I mean, I paid my 30 bucks to get Luclin, and now I've gotta do faction work just to be able to use it??? COME ON!!!
    #REDACTED, Posted: Aug 09 2003 at 8:24 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) one more thing....your question...what CO. annoys their customers?? How about DELL or McDonalds or BEST BUY or APPLEBEES or PHILLIP-MORRIS or DISNEY or MICROSOFT or ... We all have Problems with our favorites, or should I say the Companies that are the best at what they do...My wife annoys me but com'n over some time and you'll see me suckin up to her because she IS THE BEST IN HER CLASS...
    #REDACTED, Posted: Aug 09 2003 at 8:14 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) HAHAHA....YOU ARE in our world now...here ..take the pipe...take another hit while you curse yourself for being a junkie..."I just can't....OK just ONE MORE HIT, and then I'll quit"

    The game is called EVERQUEST and it is an RPG, NOT Diablo! Use your common sense.

    If you want the hack and slash game, then go play Diablo.

    RE: genious
    # Feb 16 2002 at 10:09 AM Rating: Default
    The last time I checked the game was called EVERQUEST, so if you dont like doing quest, go play a different game and stop playing.
    SLOW!
    # Jan 27 2002 at 1:29 PM Rating: Default
    I did this quest a number of times while I was doing Steaon's Deliveries. It only changed once. From apprehensive to indifferent. This quest is incredibly slow to raise. So if you are looking to raise your faction quickly, this is not a good quest.
    notes:
    # Dec 24 2001 at 9:26 PM Rating: Decent
    faction pts for box to faeori is less than 10 on house of stout. also, rhino beetle horns are lore and also run less than 10pts for house of stout. so as it stands not a quick way to raise house of stout. i will investigate other avenues. p.s. can buy rhino beetle horn off merchants in shadeweavers thicket or just kill ck tk swarmers.
    #Anonymous, Posted: Dec 17 2001 at 6:33 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) it dosen't look like it will go to a zone it does. echo caverns the one that leads to the deep
    From what they drop
    # Dec 12 2001 at 4:54 PM Rating: Default
    the rhino BEETLE horn drop from the Chk Thk Swarmer in shadoweavers thicket , its a lvl 4-5 mob and the quest does not grant you many exp for lvl upper than 5 so its better to do many time the amulet of haven quest who is more easier and give really better faction hit
    RE: From what they drop
    # Dec 21 2001 at 4:26 PM Rating: Decent
    Well it might be easier to do the commissioners quest...but the two quests give different faction.

    I got my faction up to considers me kindly and Hardem still glowers at me dubiously. So apparently there is something else that this quest gives you faction wise that the other doesn't.
    RE: From what they drop
    # Mar 11 2002 at 5:59 AM Rating: Decent
    you will be allied with traders of haven normally one or two quest repeats before you are apprehensive to the house of stout, fordel, and midst.

    amulet of the haven quest:
    we druid:
    (traders of the haven) 1-amiable, 3-kindly, 4-warmly, 6-ally, 10-ally,maximum.
    (house of stout, fordel, midst) 5-apprehensive, 10-indifferent, (i have heard 15 for amiable. my druid has yet to get there to prove it however)

    de necromancer:
    (traders of the haven) 1-amiable, 3-kindly, 5-warmly, 6-ally, 10-ally, maximum.
    (house of stout, fordel, midst) 7-apprehensive, 12-indifferent, (i have heard 17 for amiable. my necro has yet to get there to prove it however)

    # Dec 07 2001 at 2:09 PM Rating: Decent
    I've combed most of city and I don't see anything remotely resembling a "short and stout section" of the town.

    Any clues?
    Short and Stout Quarter
    # Dec 09 2001 at 2:48 AM Rating: Good
    The entrance to the Short and Stout Quarter is at location 47, 1571. It's a passage or tunnel carved into the rock. Looks rather like it might lead to a zone line, but it doesn't (at least not immediately). It's near the transporter to Shadow Haven (mini-wizard spires above a large pool). If you hail the guards there, they will mention that the passage leads to the Short and Stout Quarter. It you are coming from the Bazarr, it's to the southwest.
    RE: Where is Hardam?
    # Dec 08 2001 at 11:26 AM Rating: Decent
    Can't say for sure, but I have seen quite a few dwarfs on the side of town near the echo Caverns. Look there.
