Storyteller Abilities

Storyteller Abilities

Too old to continue his adventures across the land of Norrath, the Storyteller has passed the time in Baga Village by recounting his feats to others. But people can only hear the same stories so many times and the Storyteller needs new tales to tell.

You are now able to earn faction points with the Storyteller for seeking out new stories to tell him, and these points are redeemable for special rewards. You can purchase everything from new abilities, to armour and weapons, even some charged items or special food/drink.

The Storyteller is located in Baga Village (NE) next to the well, or west by the river (he roams between the two locations). His special merchants are just to the west by the river.

Basically, you will receive faction from the storyteller. You get a faction stone from cashing in your faction with one of the storyteller merchants. Faction stones can be turned into faction again by talking to the storyteller/or spend your faction stone with the merchant.

So far, stories you can get faction for are:
Quest Faction Repeatable

Quest	Faction	Repeatable
Theatre Bizarre Acts 3 and 4: The conclusion… or is it? Higher-level adventurers can help Sabrina and a new director in town. The storyteller has an affinity for the theatre, so he will surely be interested.	50
Temple of Light Something's just not right here these days. If something is reeking of deception, trickery, and ancient relics of power, it's likely a dark elf is involved. Crack the code to find out what's going on with a secret society and spill the details to the storyteller.	75	No
Highpass Investigator (The Illusionist) Something is up in Highpass with high ranking members of the guard. Higher-level adventurers can unravel the story and decide who to trust. Their decisions will affect the way the quest ends. The storyteller wants to hear the tales of deception no matter which way it was finished.	50 / 25	No
Book of Neriak Book of Qeynos Windbreaker Pick up a strange book and it will interest a strange scholar. Adventurers level 20 and higher will be able to help translate an old and mysterious tome. The storyteller just happens to absolutely love old and creepy books!	25	Yes
Panieel (Kerran escapee) This is the classic escape tale for higher-level adventurers. Help the leaders of a slave uprising to freedom and gain possession of a very powerful artifact (though only for a short while). You'll will want to find out how this one ends and why you end up being compelled to do something against your will. Your tale is of much interest to the storyteller.	50	?
Evil'ution: The Highbourne Quest for the Ring Madrias is an odd individual, but has been pretty keen on helping you unlock the potential of a powerful ring; though, it won't be easy. Starting at level 20, he will tell you how to improve and enhance the ring. You just have to wonder what his motivation is for helping you...and the storyteller does too.	240	No
The Dawn Maiden The Dawn Maiden: Madness is spreading, and the very existence of Arcadin is threatened!	25	Yes

Rewards ranging from 25-375 points do not have a description. The 400 points(ability) do have a description for what class its for. Be very careful, read before you buy - you can buy an item for a class that you are not (ie. waste your time) and then not be able to exchange it.
