hide upgrades LQ-MQ-HQ

[Buns]

I know its already posted on the boards somehwhere (back in 2003), but I think its worth posting again that you can upgrade wolf ,bear and cat skins with Dar Forager Lumun in the Guk outpost of Marr. He spawns by the soulbinder for a few hours each day, he also wanders the innothule swamp (ignore him there, only Guk version will upgrade).
If you give him 3LQ you get 1 MQ & 3 MQ you get 1 HQ. This is only for Cat, bear and wolf, must be given unstacked. I found this to be a great help while I was doing expert halfling cultural, especially as baz HQ on povar often hits 100pp and MQ/LQ rarely went above 10pp, even made a little money buying up cheap cat and bear and upgrading them for resale.

I'd kiss my sister - if I had one - if the frog would convert Brute Hides to High Quality Brute hides. Getting any amount of HQ Brute Hides is painful.

Or if he would upgrade LQ lion skins woot

Hmmm, anyone want to do a quick write-up of this and I can put it onto the main site?

There's one at http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=2317 you can probably crib the in-game stuff from.

Except that I can't access Alla's from here. Would anybody mind at least reposting that? Thanks.

You say, 'Hail, Dar Forager Lumun'

Dar Forager Lumun says 'Nice to meet you, Trublue! Please have a look at my wares, I have taken great pains to brings only the best that the swamps have to offer. Or perhaps you are here to make an [exchange]?'

You say, 'I am here to make an exchange'

Dar Forager Lumun says 'I am always in need of more skins, so I will swap three identical unruined pelts for one of my higher quality versions.'

Hand him three unstacked wolf/cat/bear skins of lower-than-high quality.

Dar Forager Lumun says 'Not a bad find, but I will need more.'
Dar Forager Lumun says 'Not a bad find, but I will need more.'
Dar Forager Lumun says 'Hmm. . . That seems like a fair trade. Let me see what I've got in my satchel. No. Wait, yes! I do have a fine specimen here that I think you'll agree is of superior quality.'
You gain experience!!

The XP is almost non-existant. I have a level 11 toon parked in <whatever the frogtown is called> to upgrade pelts for me and have yet to see his XP bar move. Perhaps a level 1 toon might see a change.

Now to hope for anyone that uses this --- Pray that Dar Forager Lumun survives the war and is amongst the refugees in Rathe Mountains.

Tried handing in with my H-E druid (indifferent), and he wouldn't take them, so I created a Froglok Paladin (Amiable) and tried handing in with him, and it worked as expected. I have done the trade-ins with my druid before, so I think something changed with the patch/move to RM.
