If you are a rogue knight no knight guild will give you access to the guild hatchery, while if you are an apprentice in one of the knight's guilds you are not allowed by your guild to request a falcon until after apprenticehood (or after off probation). In both cases if you want a falcon you may find it very difficult to have one. Here are some pieces of information on this subject.

First of all you need a falconry glove. I have seen them sold in Delos (NE N from western entrance) and in one of the four shops in Lodi (by Rurin). Probably there are more shops who sell them, but those are the two I know of.

To request a falcon you have to be at a hatchery and the only public one I know of is in El'jazira. I found no way to get there by normal means, the only way is through the wilderness map. Any spot where you can enter the wilderness will do, but the one closest to El'jazira is just before the entrance to Moghedu. The spot is not marked (in the main map) as an entrance to the wilderness, but it is. ENTER WILDERNESS (if it is the first time HELP WILDERNESS will be useful) and march NE until you see a '?' on the map. Bring the '@' which represents you on the '?' and LEAVE WILDERNESS. The hatchery is just one step north, FALCON REQUEST and enjoy your Mhojave falcon (if you have no falconry glove now you are in trouble). AB CHIVALRY FALCONRY and AB CHIVALRY will tell you what you can do with your falcon, it is pretty easy to figure out.


Take care of your falcon like you take care of yourself. It is easy to do it, the only difficult thing is to set an alias so that your falcon is sent to sanctuary every time you leave the realms. If you leave the falcon in the open while you are away chances are that guilded knights (and I heard other people do 'falcon hunt' too) will PROBE him/her and, after seeing it is loyal to a rogue or an apprentice, kill the falcon.

Be aware that, if you are an apprentice/probated in any of the knights guilds, requesting a falcon before being out of apprenticeship/probation will mean you will be outguilded and banned forever by ANY and ALL of the knight guilds.

One of the following may happen: People from knights guild will try to buy all falconry gloves on the market. In this case just go to the entrance to Minia and pay some newbie to buy a falconry glove in Lodi and hand it to you. Or you may find the hatchery in El'jazira guarded/blocked/controlled by the aforementioned guild people. In this case, just ISSUE them, the administration will take good care of them. Or maybe something else, but I am quite sure that after this post the three involved guilds will try to regain control of who, when and why are people allowed to own falcons. Just report it here and I'll try and find some workaround to the problem.

A final note: I'd have liked to post this under my real name, but I do not want to have several people from three different guilds hunting to kill me (I am not sure this would have happened, but who is willing to risk?), thus you have an anonymous post. If you do not like it, just ignore it.
