Standard Information
Issam and his merry band of crooks have outsmarted themselves. Find them and help them out with their problem.
Estimated Mental Difficulty Rating: Eight Estimated Physical Difficulty Rating: Zero Estimated Danger Rating: Five
This quest was created by Ishamael.
Spoiler warning: information below includes details, such as solutions to puzzles or quest procedures, that you may prefer to discover on your own.
Starts at Grey Mouser. "say crooks" then after some dialog "say password." Next go n of where the catelius minor quest is (the dirty alley). Knock on door. Say the password. Then follow their instructions.
Kachan says, "If you're willing to give it a try, here are the commands to get the balance to work. You can put XXX in left/right pan and get XXX from left/right pan. You must secure balance before you can put items into or take items out of the pans. When you are ready, simply weigh balance to see which pan is heavier or if they are balanced."
Once you think you have the correct key "unlock chest with key."
Tips:
- My strategy was to put half in one pan then half in the other and weigh. I took the lighter half and dropped them. Then I put half of the remaining six on each side and dropped the lighter side. Then I put 1 key on the left and 1 on the right. If the scale was balanced, I had the heavy key in my hand. If it tilted to one side then that was the key. It says the key can also be lighter in which case I would've had to have done the opposite but I don't think there's any way to tell going in so there's still a little luck involved. (Just tested, it isnt always the light blue key)
- If you're relatively low level and may not want to risk blowing your hand off, kill the thieves one at a time (Kachan, in particular) before the third weighing. That way you can leave without aggroing them all, if your third attempt doesn't turn up the correct key.
- After going through the quest a few times, I've noticed the light-blue-lacquered brass key seems to be the correct one each time. Above method is still recomended until more thorough testing can be performed (to increase accuracy)and posted though.
