OK, the Crown of Deceit is obviously a quest aimed at the dark races to give them something comperable to the masks for the rogues and bards which seem to drop all over the place - a nice quest to be able to turn into a light race and make faction a bit easier.
Except for one minor problem.
If you are of a race that has a real need and use for this item, then you've got a quest of epic hellish proportions in front of you.
The two folks who can get the most use out of the crown are trolls and ogres in that they not only get a bit in the way of faction by using it, but they also essentially get themselves a free shrink spell - two for one.
Unfortunately, those who need it most are also those who are going to have the toughest time getting it since your average pre-grobb troll and all ogres are bound to have slaughtered thier ways to max KOS with the frogs by the time they are 10th level.
As if that's not bad enough, we've also got faction caps, so we need to camp the Ghoul Lord for his scalp - an item which I'm now finding out is apparently a VERY rare drop to boot.
So we've got tons of faction farming, an uber rare drop that only us darkies need to do the quest and just to add insult to injury, the darned undead frogs are tough as all heck - at 54, my SK has gotten killed several times thanks to thier long memories, supersized aggro areas and the fact that the @#$% greens don't know not to mess with something three times thier level - and they hit hard and fast to boot?!?!?
About the only positive aspect of this whole boondogle is that the plat isn't half bad and there's actually a few things still worth selling in LGuk dead side - otherwise, I'm feeling that whomever the bright boy was who descided that the frogs would invent an illusion wood elf item must have been a total and utter sadist.
