50K Bellywhumper Faction - good for anything?

[kojuro]

<p>Well, since there are two BW NPCs who "don't want your business" (Blugie, Beezner the Short) at 30K faction, AND there is a BW NPC there that gives a quest to dink along faction at 500 per quest (Gribs McDibbles), AND I am slightly insane,  I decided to max out my BW faction to see if those 2 reticent NPCs would come off some goodies.</p><p>So - got my faction up to 50000 - and still no joy.  Interestingly, McDibble continues to ask for help with the harvest, even though the additional faction gained goes to ground.  I suppose I could investigate whether doing another 5000 iterations of a seemingly useless quest might bear fruit, but I'm not THAT insane. <.<</p><p>Oh, and for the record (read this in some other threads), having your Pretty Coin, Burynai L&L Book, or Burynai L&L trophy in your inventory when you hail McDibble for a new quest with max faction DOES NOT give you a different quest.  McDibble is just one mega-lazy mofo, I am afraid.</p><p>Does anybody know what the deal is with those 2 disagreeable Bellywhumper NPCs? Or is this just some SoE developer's idea of a joke?</p><p>Thanks for your input <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src=" width="15" height="15" /></p>

Also getting 30k faction allows you to finish a Rillis quest. There's one that makes you buy an item from one of the badgers which requires 30k faction. Of course, the quest doesn't really do much and isn't worth grinding your faction up so much, but it's still there.
