Faction

From Project 1999 Wiki

Faction

As an Enchanter, I've always worried about faction. I'm sure Iksar are in the same boat, so I decided to look up every quest I could find that gave only positive faction hits, and no negative ones. The now defunct Iksar Faction Guide goes into great detail for Iksars, but it involves a lot of back-and-forth with raising one faction, lowering another, and then going back to raise the faction you lowered.

Some of these quests require a minimum faction to be able to complete. Some you will not be able to do without killing various groups of mobs (namely, Gnolls, Deathfist Orcs, Kobolds and Aqua Goblins) or without an illusion, a wolf form, a faction-raising spell, a sneak, an invis, or a feign death (verify this last one?). Before going to do any of these quests, make sure to con the applicable quest NPC and all other NPCs within aggro range using your chosen faction-raising method to make sure you are safe.

A note of advice from the defunct Iksar Faction Guide: When doing quests, I have found out that one can turn in up to 16 items at a time. This was only verified with quest that only have one item to turn in, though. You can hand in 4 stacks of 4 of that item, and you will get 16 faction hits. I have tried with more, but it does not work. I also suggest switching to windowed mode while trading. That way, you will not have to reopen your inventory after each turn in.

Faction Table

There seems to be some conflicting reports on how many hits it takes to go from one faction to the next. Both charts are below:

Ally +4 1450 to 2500	Ally 1100 to 2100
Warmly +3 1100 to 1450	Warmly 750 to 1099
Kindly +2 750 to 1100	Kindly 500 to 749
Amiable +1 150 to 750	Amiable 100 to 499
Indifferent 0 0 to 150	Indifferent 0 to 99
Apprehensive -1 0 to -150	Apprehensive -100 to -1
Dubious -2 -150 to -750	Dubious -500 to -101
Threateningly -3 -750 to -1100	Threatening -800 to -501
Ready to Attack -4 -1100 to -2500	Scowls -2100 to -801

Note: NPCs who are low enough level will often not attack if they are Threateningly or Scowls. Undead will almost always attack, no matter what the level difference is. Threateningly will attack, but usually only if you remain in their aggro area for a period of time. Scowls will immediately attack.

Orc Scalp Collecting

Highpass Hold

Captain Ashlan spawns in two different areas, both are in the pass itself not the keep. One is up the steps near the Kithicor Forest end above the orcs, the other is near the gnoll camp at the East Karana end, also above the pass. He tends to walk around a lot.

You say, 'Hail, Captain Ashlan'

Captain Ashlan says 'Greetings, traveler! I am Captain Ashlan of the Highpass Guards. I keep watch over my men and the volunteers here at the East Gate. It's been a busy [job] here lately, with the [orc raids] and all.'

You say, 'What job?'

Captain Ashlan says 'We're short-handed around here, as usual. Would you like to help us out with the [Volunteer Watch]?'

You say, `What Volunteer Watch?'

Captain Ashlan says 'The Volunteer Watch guards the entry gates of Highpass. Since the [orc raids] are becoming more and more frequent, it's a busy job. But it can pay well, depending on how many [orcs] you slay.'

You say, 'What orcs?'

Captain Ashlan says 'One of the orc clans of Kithicor Woods has been trying to expand their territory. Small orc raiding parties are frequently rushing the East Gate. Without the [Volunteer Watch] helping us out, Highpass would probably be overrun by those vile beasts.'

Turn in an Orc Scalp (you may turn in up to four at once).

Captain Ashlan says 'Great work! Maybe you can help us out again sometime?'

You gain experience!!

You receive 5 copper from Captain Ashlan.

This spawns Slansin down in Vials of Vitality. The real Slansin wears a red robe. The fake Slansin looks like a merchant. If you meet the fake Slansin...

You say, 'I wish to assist Toresian'

Toresian Fhabel says 'Ahhhhh _______. Slansin used to have need of those potions, however he mysteriously disappeared long ago. The only person I know of who still wants them is a cleric of the Church of Marr in Freeport.'

Give Slansin the Inert Potion.

Slansin says 'Ha!! What a fool!! I have stolen another potion to add to the crate. I shall make a fortune!! The real Slansin is in back. Now it is time for me to leave.'

But if you meet the real Slansin, you can kill the real Slansin to get the fake Slansin to spawn. OR if you turn in the potion to the real Slansin. The real Slansin will despawn after turning the potion in to him.

Going Postal

Northern Felwithe to Kelethin (Tacar Tissleplay). Other places that have bards that want mail delivered:

Ak'Anon to Kelethin, Butcherblock to Kelethin, East Freeport to South Qeynos/Kelethin/Highpass, Erudin to Qeynos, Feerrott to Freeport, Halas to Qeynos, Highpass, Innothule, Kaladim to Kelethin, Kelethin to Freeport, Nektulous, Qeynos, Rivervale, Surefall Glade to Qeynos, West Karana to Qeynos

You can only have one “Note to Kelethin” on your person at a time. (See below for list of other locations that want mail delivered. This is the partial dialogue for the Felwithe to Kelethin version only.) I believe the secondary faction that goes up aside from the bard faction (occasional) depends on where you are delivering the mail to. Can someone please confirm/deny here?

Tacar Tissleplay is at location -83, -320 in North Felwithe.

You say, 'I will deliver mail to Kelethin.'

Tacar Tissleplay says 'Take this letter to Jakum Webdancer in Kelethin. You can find him at the bard guild hall. I am sure he will compensate you for your troubles.'

Faction, Kunark

Cabilis Faction

Cabilis contains six main faction groups:

• Brood of Kotiz (Necromancers)
• Legion of Cabilis (Warriors/Troopers)
• Cabilis Residents (Merchants/Bankers)
• Crusaders of Greenmist (Shadowknights/Crusaders)
• Swift Tails (Monks)
• Scaled Mystics (Shamans)

NOTE: In original classic, once your faction was capped with Iksar Troopers, you were unable to raise it with anywhere else in Cabilis as they all became capped (even if you were at scowling). I'm not sure if it is this way currently on P99, but please be aware of the possibility. It was later fixed on live.

Pre-Emptive Step: Get an Overthere Hammer, as later stages will involve trashing Venril Sathir faction. So, go to The Overthere, and kill 80+ sarnak berserkers (lvl 29-33) to collect sarnak war braids to hand in to Captain Rottgrime. The best camp spot, if you don’t have a tracker, is the couple of buildings at the south of the zone, north of the Frontier Mountains zone line; a number of static spawns and wanderers. Berzerkers seem to be on the general sarnak spawn table.

As soon as you hit amiable, go to the undead foreman, just south of the ships, and hand him a jade (only one required, although he talks about “filling [his] eyesockets”. Bingo.

Step 1: Mass Slaughter

Outcast Iksar in Warsliks Wood - Iksar Bandits(lvl 9-10), Marauders (warrior, lvl 14-16), Manslayers (lvl 17-19), Pariahs (lvl 19-23), Exiles (lvl 23-26). There are six Exiles in a group in the SW corner of the zone next to a lake that are relatively easy to find. This seems to be the only way to raise Brood of Kotiz faction, and also raises Legion of Cabilis

SKs need to be non-KoS with necros; necromancers interested in doing the skullcap quest need to reach amiable with Brood of Kotiz. 150 – 200 iksar kills will allegedly take you to glowers with necros. There are several camps of low level iksar outcasts that you can use for this: the caves in Warsliks Woods, before the zone to LOIO; several camps of three in huts in WW; and the camp of four NE of the explorer tower in LOIO. The cave in Field of Bone is on a very slow respawn timer, so I don’t recommend there. The caves in WW have 12 – 15 spawns on a 16 minute timer, but you need to pay full attention for 4-6 minutes to kill them all. The hut SE of the zone to The Overthere has the advantage that you can let him do most of the killing; overnight here should be enough for faction.

Goblins in Warsliks Wood – These give faction for the Legion of Cabilis and for the Inhabitants of Fironia Vie. Good to raise this faction if you think you'll end up getting KoS to Venril Sathir eventually as you will be unable to return to the outpost in The Overthere.

There are many level ranges of these. A Goblin Thief (lvl 2), A Goblin Scout (lvl 2-4), A Goblin Watcher (lvl 3-5), A Goblin Outrider (lvl 5-6), A Goblin Hextracer (lvl 7-8), A Goblin Hunter (lvl 8-10), A Goblin Bonecaster (lvl 10-12), A Goblin Skirmisher (lvl 11-13), A Goblin Witchdoctor (lvl 13-15), A Goblin Battlemaster (lvl 14-16), A Goblin Bloodtracer (lvl 16-18), A Goblin Aggressor (lvl 17-19), A Goblin Pit Fighter (lvl 19-21), A Goblin Soothsayer (lvl 19-21), A Goblin Warrior (lvl 20-22), A Goblin Coward (lvl 20-23), Goblin Warlord (lvl 24), A Goblin Messenger (lvl 38), A Frantic Goblin (lvl 40), A Shady Goblin (lvl 40).

The lower level goblins are closer to the West Cabilis and Field of Bone entrances, while the higher level ones are in forts in the center of the zone. See the map for details.

Alternate Step 1: Item Turn-In Quests

If you can, the fastest way to get Legion faction is to collect weapons in Veksar (lvl 55+) and hand them in the the NPC in Lake of Ill Omen until you reach dubious with the Legion. I haven’t done this, but I believe roughly 10 or more hand ins (40 weapons) will be required. If you kill explorers until you have 6 stacks of knives, you should have high enough legion faction to hand in.

The next best is the explorer knives quest; you will need roughly 6 stacks of these to max your faction. (Note: This is Velious era content not yet added on P99.) 4 – 5 stacks will be required to reach non-KoS with other factions; another 4 – 5 stacks if you need to become warmly or better. The explorers are in Lake of Ill Omen, between the Warsliks Woods and Cabilis zones. NOTE: This will bring down your Fironia Vie faction!

Step 2: Bring Out Yer Dead!

Hand in bone chips in vast numbers to Trooper Mozo in Field of Bone until you are non-KoS to merchants, shamans, etc. This is slower than the explorer knives, but without the FV faction hits. Note that the wandering crusaders in the area (Quarg and Bhodli) are on different factions. One is on Crusaders and the other is on Scaled Mystics.

Once you reach dubious to Iksar troopers head over to Kurn's Tower in Field of Bone or any other spot where you can get a LOT of bonechips (this will take many bags of bonechips). Kurn's Tower is the most convenient place because of its location.

There are two ways to do the turn-in:

• Option 1 is to quickly feed as many stacks of 4 bonechips(remember 4 stacks at a time) to Trooper Mozo in the 4-6 minute window and retreat before the Crusaders go on patrol, however this makes it difficult and the Crusaders might not even leave and return in sync making it even harder.

• Option 2 is to stand behind Trooper Mozo in the corner by that lamp thing right up against the wall. SLOWLY take tiny steps forward until you are able to hand Trooper Mozo the stacks of bonechips(you're not close enough if you're right in the corner behind the lamp).

You should be able to give as many stacks as you want from this location WHILE the Crusaders walk past.. this is the method I used.. it was quite unnerving to have some red at level 48 shadowknight go walking past you repeatedly at that distance without turning me into a bloodstain on the ground, but it MUCH easier to give lots of bonechips without interruption.
