Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

That may have been said before a long time ago but I have a really quick way to get the reward from that annoying trader that want to be escorted to Orchard Farm.
  1. Agree to help him
  2. Get him to follow you
  3. Kill him right there and then
  4. Grab the rest of the reward and the gem
you don't get the renown reward but you can do that this way
  1. Get married +1000 renown
  2. Kill wife +20 renown
    (make sure no one see you so that you can repeat without fuss)
  3. Repeat
I was able to become Legendary before my second quest.

Note you a little bit of renown to be attractive enough to get married the first time hence why I needed to finish the Wasp Queen quest.

Both of these are of course EVIL :devil:

+Rep Nice way of earning renown!
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

Wait, theres only one trader who wants to be escorted and he wants to be taken to Orchid Farm. Are you talking about the one in Lookout Point? Or the two traders that need to be taken through Darkwood?

I am confused :wacko:
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

The darkwood
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

Yea me too. I don't remember any trader wanting to go to Oakvale, only the one at lookout point that wanted to go to Orchard farm.
But then again barrow fields is close to Oakvale.

I don't think so, if you kill them you fail the quest and have to reload, it must be the Lookout Point guy, he respawns when you kill him, so you could just keep killing him for the money (and gem). And when you're sick of him, just do the quest, no need to go through greatwood lake either, even with the barricade up.

You can sacrifice the balverine infected trader and another trader, you don't fail as long as you get one of them there.

Ah, didn't know that, good tip. But still you don't get his money or a gem do you, correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't usually sacrifice them so I don't know. I make a lot of boasts when I play so I need to keep all my followers intact. I've seen my friend do it, but I wasn't paying much attention. Sorrys. I wish I could tell ya.
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

Yea I meant the one who wants to go to Orchard farm I think there are three of them each with a better gem than the last.
Edited sorry for the confusion
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

You can still kill the trader once you have taken him to Orchard Farm, thus getting the renown, the rest of your reward and the gem.
I normally use a bow as he does move quite fast. Once dead you can stroll over and pick up another gem, or money..it it random what they drop.
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

That's true but it takes longer and he sometimes gets away :realmad:

Yeah I did that once too, it annoyed me that the guy ran and dissapeared after entering the cottage, so I reloaded, escorted him, then using slow time ran to the door and blocked his path, it was pretty funny he just stood there as I taunted him with various uncivil expressions. I then casually killed him and picked up the gem, but because I was good I reloaded and did the right thing.:angel:
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

I use that idea a lot with the stupid Orchard Farm guy - I used to be nice and try to help, but then he started cussing me for not looking after him properly so I shot him in the face with an arrow and took his money. Now I do that every time...:devil:
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

It's pretty fun
"Right then I'll follow you"
"AAAAAARRRRGHH"
Collect 375 gold + gem & go about my merry way.
 
Re: Escort Annoying trader to Oakvale/ Easy Renown

He's just so bossy as well, "Right, don't go too fast and I'll let you know if we're going in the right direction"

Oi, moron - I'M THE ONE WITH THE MAP!!!!
