Kerra Isle

I've been reading through the old posts here on the Kerran faction, and noticed a lot of people saying things changing from indif to apprehensive, or dubious to apprehensive and the like.. Basicly, all bad/good deads erased to apprehensive..

I have a feeling it has absolutely nothing to do with who you've killed or done otherwise, no mystieriously unlisted faction hit for the Kerrans, but the simple fact that Kerrans are supposed to be the new playable race coming up.

It makes perfect sense... Verant started working on this in the begining of this year, so would have started making small changes to prepare the area for PC kitties, such as removing the heritics, giving Mitty's Paw rings to another NPC, etc, so you don't have to kill her (killing player town people seems frowned upon and all).. But the most noticable thing I can think of is this-

Most 'neutral' monster start off Indifferent to players. All townsmembers that are not familar to you and your quests/kills for them, say, FP's guards to a RV halfing visiting for the first time, start off as Apprehensive, instead..

It looks like, in preparing to make this spot a player town (which is only a guess that this is the actual zone the karrens will start in, but to be honest, it's already mapped that it'd make a perfect town), they clensed the faction to a more townlike setting.

I guess it really depends on how long ago people were dubous when they last checked, to know for sure.

If you kill an Erudite emmisionary in the Tox forest you can turn it in to the leader of the Kerrans. I have yet to complete this quest because the Erudites are already apprehensive to my gnome wzd so I plan on getting faction by killing kobold runts first. I don't want to be KOS to the erudites because of they have a lot of the wizard spells.

Is it possible for there to be a faction adjustment that is not listed in the faction message following a kill?

Here is why I ask....My druid hunted the front guards in Kerra when he was young - and became dubious. When he tried to get quests he was rudely dismissed.

Later he hunted a particular NPC in Erud - who shall remain nameless as he is getting camped enough (poor NICE guy ) - and killed the erudite dozens of times. Never was Kerra Ridge listed in the faction messages - the only positive listed was "Heretics".

Recently I went to Kerra Ridge to try for the Spahi - to discover that I was indifferent, and was allowed to do the Kerran Toy Quest, the Fishing Pole Quest, and The Sharptooth Quest.

I've since returned to Threatening after killing the princess and the Spahi a few times (My Warrior loves the Cat O' Nine Tails BTW).

Just wondered if it was possible that killing that NICE erudite gave a positive faction bump, without telling me.

I completed the Gnome Tinker Toy quest and it raised my KerraIsle faction.

The Gnome Tinker Toy (LORE ITEM NO DROP) is located in Steamfont Mountains on Nilits Contraption a semi-rare spawn near the Mino Caves. You give it to one of the smaller Kerran children (I gave it to the one on the left). They are located in a hut near the wall approx north from the first pier. The hut has a caldron with what looks like a human torso in it. In return for the Gnome Tinker Toy you get a Kerran Toy (LORE ITEM NO DROP; AC 3, AGI +2; Usable by everyone) that you put in your Range Weapon slot.

are iksar kos here?

Anyone know what I need to kill to raise this?

Somehow this faction is associated with the Herectics faction. The first time I went there Ive been indiff as I wanted to go their a second time I killed Elial Brook so I dont have to swim. This time I conned apprehen to them.
