Detailed Walkthrough

Almoner Mission

Iulus Truptor at the Imperial Chapels in Ebonheart will ask you to collect donations from citizens in Ald'ruhn for the Buckmoth fund.

Buckmoth Alms

You'll find the people in the town a little tougher than your previous donation runs. In general, all of the Dark Elves will completely ignore any attempts to get them to donate. Even the non-Dark Elf citizens will not donate as much and you may be hard pressed to collect the full 200 gold. To receive any donation, you will have to raise the subject's Disposition to at least 30. To get a larger donation, you'll need to raise it to 70. The Rat in the Pot seems to be the best place to go for donations. Being a member of the Thieves Guild will help you a lot here. This is a list of people who will donate money:

Name	Location	Donation
		Disp 30	Disp 70
Aengoth the Jeweler	The Rat in the Pot	30	60
Baradras	Guild of Fighters	10	20
Cienne Sintieve	Cienne Sintieve: Alchemist	10	20
Codus Callonus	Codus Callonus: Bookseller	10	20
Dular gro-Buzga	The Rat in the Pot	1	5
Edwinna Elbert	Guild of Mages	10	20
Erranil	Guild of Mages	1	5
Estoril	The Rat in the Pot	1	5
Galthragoth	Galthragoth's House	5	10
Hoki	Morag Tong Guildhall	5	10
Lirielle Stoine	The Rat in the Pot	5	10
Malpenix Blonia	Malpenix Blonia: Trader	10	20
Merthierry Laelippe	Ald-Skar Inn	1	5
Percius Mercius	Guild of Fighters	10	20
Tauryon	(wandering outside)	1	5
Tongue-Toad	The Rat in the Pot	1	5
Yak gro-Skandar	The Rat in the Pot	1	5
Totals		111	245

Return to Iulus with the donation proceeds. If you raised only 100 gold, you will receive a Scroll of Fphyggi's Gem-Feeder and a Scroll of Didala's Knack as well as five Imperial Cult reputation points and a five point disposition bump. At 200 gold, you also receive a copy of The Buying Game, a Mercantile skill book plus ten points of faction reputation and disposition.

Notes

• Of course, you can always lie and say you collected 200 gold, and just give him the money out of your own pocket.
• There is also a journal entry for Manis Virmaulese at the Mages Guild, but the topic of "alms for the poor" does not come up for him, so he will not actually donate.
• A donation of whatever size causes the disposition of each donor to jump by 10.
• If you report failure to Iulus, his disposition towards you drops ten points.

Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
1		Iulus Truptor told me to solicit alms for the poor in Ald'ruhn. The goal for the Buckmoth Fund is 100 gold. When I have reached the goal, I should return and deliver the gold to Iulus Truptor.
5	Finishes quest	I told Iulus Truptor I was not be able to raise enough gold for the Buckmoth Fund to reach the fund raising goal of 100 gold. He was disappointed, and told me to decide whether my talents and temperaments are suited for fund raising. Before I approach him again for an almoner's mission, I must be sure I want to give the Imperial cult my full commitment.
50	Finishes quest	I reached the fund raising goal for Ald'ruhn, and delivered the 100 gold for the Buckmoth Fund to Iulus Truptor. He seemed pleased. He gave me a little blessing, and told me to speak to him again when I'm ready for another almoner's mission.
60	Finishes quest	I reached the fund raising goal for Ald'ruhn, and DOUBLED it! I delivered the 200 gold for the Buckmoth Fund to Iulus Truptor. He seemed very pleased. He gave me a copy of 'The Buying Game', and told me to study it, and to speak to him again when I'm ready for another almoner's mission.
