Looking for Info: "Feline Veil"

[Spottycat]

I saw a quest reward item which had the effect of granting "Panther Form."

I would like to know `any/all information relating to this quest` so I can go quest it... that would be awesome.

Item Level 30(Rare)

Hardest part: You need to get 12k faction with the witches on the other side of the mines from the Shildreth Mining Company. You do this by killing the lvl 26-28ish miners all throughout the cave.

A full clearing of the mine will net you around 700-800 faction. 20 faction per kill. Once you have 12k faction, there's a named chick out on the patio. She'll give you the quest, which is pretty easy when compared to getting the faction.

Panther form gets you 20% speed increase.

ouch :).. a little OT, but what factions are worth grinding for rewards? Is there any post out there on which rewards you can get for faction?

Thanks

Any outposts nearby you can gain faction from WO's for to get the quest ?

Run speed would be nice but 12k faction ... bleh

[Garn]

Anyone know if the run speed increase is a clicky with a refresh or is it permanent as long as its worn?

Around 4 second cast time
Lasts as long as the buff is active (30min duration)
Can recast the mask any time

The other thread states this won't stack for DKs ...

Thanks for the info on the duration.

And yeah it is likely not supposed to stack with the runspeed portion of shadowyviel but I would imagine we still get the invis part.

Shadowyveil is a 1minute speed/invis buff with a 1.5 minute recast. So we cant have it up all the time. Still making this mask very worthwhile to us.

As well as when you are seen by a mob that knocks off shadowy veil you alos loose the whole buff, run speed portion included. This would still keep us sped up a bit.

Just double checked. You indeed cannot stack the run speed portion of the invis spell and panther form.

As a side benefit, however, the panthers don't have an invis skin. So when you go invis as a panther, you actually ARE invis (except for your name floating above your head, lol).

lol, I can see that causing some nice suprises for any PvPers with names turned off ;)

Actually, it is just you who cannot see yourself. I asked a random person if they could see me when I was invis and they said yes - in catlike invis form. It seems to be a bug with just the user seeing it - not other people.

That's weird. When I unveiled my newfound inner kitty to my RL buddies, I quickly fired off invis. I was on vent with them all and a couple of them said "Hey, how'd you do that? where did you go? I see your name..."


Might just be buggy all around, but I've gotten a number of comments about my floating name.

Update on this:

I took a few RL friends to the mines last night, and now each kill is only giving 10 faction vs the 20 faction per kill I was getting last week.

Anyone know anything about this?

i ran through there yesterday mobs gave 10 faction per kill. either faction was nerfed last patch, or you were mistaken.

**edit** nm didn't see your last post, I can confirm only 10 faction per kill

Naah... there's a huge difference between 10 and 20. I was definitely experiencing 20 faction per kill.


12k faction was pretty hard at 20 faction per kill... I can't imagine how long and drawn out it will be now.

sigils answer on how to slow the # of items of these that enter the world, its pretty powerful, and i guess once everyone figured out how to get it, started farming it, they probably figured they'd nerf faction grinding instead of nerfing the item.

what sucks for me is I used to kill the siren when I ran by for the +200 miners faction, I have to work off about 2200 faction and then work up the 12K needed. at 400 faction per clearing with it being patrolled by as many as 5-6 people I spent about 2 hours yesterday and went to -1800, loooong looong way to go.

[eol]

Has anyone getten the mask and then ran out to the siren camps to see if any other quests were available? I lost all my faction with the bug, but did get the mask. I am not grinding back to 12K to see!!!!

It sure would make flower picking easy at least. I just wonder about the 4dot camp though, as there are quite a few name there that may be quest givers.

Anyone check it out?

No, the drop in faction per kill was not intended. In fact, it is being raised. They were changed to prevent people from becoming friendly to both, but the amount per kill was unintentionally lowered. :/ It will be fixed soon.

Woohoo! Thanks for letting us know! My buddies will be happy to hear that!

guess i like doing things the hard way. spent 6 hours grinding it out friday night @10 per faction, and got my mask.

my g/f however lost all her faction (about 9K) with the sirens that she accrued fridaynight grinding with me with the server restart. we'll see what happens with her petition.

[lostforever]

Quick question,

What faction people start at pls?

Do people start at 0 faction and need to get +12k faction or people start at -8k faction and need to get +12k faction?

Thanks

you need 12K dynamic faction with the sirens. you start at 0 faction with the sirens.

That happened to me, but I only lost about 1500 faction, so I just started over. However, I've run in to at least 6 people that this has happened to.


/bug

[Illusive]

a nice gm was able to restore my g/f lost faction yesterday and we headed out to the mines.

miners are now 25 faction per kill and named are 40 per kill. about 1000 faction for a full clearing.

also AE is now working on the miners.

Got my mask alos but i spent more time camping the named than getting faction :)

hehe, we been camping jaffar excusively for around 7 hours now. He hasnt spawned in the area between brikash and akram, or in the front right room. My guess is he is bugged or in the wall. :rolleyes:

Update: If Jaffar or his PH isnt spawning between Akram and Brikash, then that means someone trained his PH outside the vizaria area, under the balcony. Kill the PH there and it shoild respawn as normal. Thanks to Fieora of Shifting Lucidity for pointing it out to me.

[Gobbwin]

Awesome, thank you very much! I've been camping that guy off and on for a while now. A few people have given me several different spawn locations. Further, I usually seem to start camping the area after someone else has trained through, so that entire end area by the sirens is vacant. I've always wondered where those guys went. Can't wait to go home and finally finish this damn thing!!!

Been camping Jaffar for several hours with no luck. I was glad to see this post, but can't find him stuck and trained to anywhere and don't see him in any walls or under the world. Very frustrating that this seems to be happening with the same damn spawn, you'd think the devs would realize something was amiss. Oh well, hopefully he'll be back in his normal spot tomorrow morning.

Did you check under the balcony area on the river valley side? That is where I found his Ph to be. Its outside on the River Valley side.

Just wanted to update the information on the item itself. The Feline Veil no longer stacks with any other speed buffs. (Bards can still benefit somewhat, since speed components beside the Melody component still do stack.)

It was an undocumented change a few patches ago.
