The Freeport Militia

Ok, to clear up some confusion I'm posting what I did to use this quest and raise my KOS freeport faction up to amiably in a few hours. This is the Inert Potion quest in Erudin.

This method was described in a different post, but I changed a few things about it.

First off, yes Toresian says something about someone in the temple of Marr. Don't worry about it, I didn't. When you say to him "I study enchantment" a version of Slansin will spawn in the store near the bank. There are TWO versions of him. The more common one (at least for me) is a human model that conned light blue to my 70 pally. When I gave him a potion, I got negative faction hits with the guards and he would despawn. I ended up doing this for about 8-9 times getting the wrong one to spawn. Finally though, an Erudite male version of him spawned, and he had an enchanter pet. This is the version you want.

I taunted Slansin, and when he aggroed I took him up next to Toresian. None of the guards or other NPC's seemed to care. When he was right next to Toresian, I rooted him. His pet attacked and I rooted it a bit away from Slansin. This is where it would be helpful to have a friend along to hail Slansin over and over to keep him from walking away. Luckily my computer zones rather quickly, so I was able to camp out and get back in before root broke.

I had a hotkey set up with the first line being "/tar Toresian" and the second line being "/say I wish to assist Toresian". Here is where I found an interesting trick to speed things up. The inert potions he gives you are lore, however if something is sitting in an open trade window, you can request another one! My pattern was simple:

I would get a potion by using my hotkey. When I had it I would open a trade window with Slansin. This is where I would usually hail Slansin to keep him from wandering off. Then I would hit my hotkey again and spam it until I got another potion while the trade window was still open. Each time I would get a potion, I would drop it in another slot on the trade window. This way I was getting four faction hits per turn-in!

This still took me a few hours to go from max KoS to amiable. Don't be suprised if after doing this for a few hours and you find they still want to kill you. From what I've seen, the difference between max KOS and the next step up, threateningly, is HUGE. But once you get out of the "scowling, ready to attack" faction tier, it goes really quickly.

Another thought, since it happened to me. I accidently killed his pet once while running him up to Toresian. When I had him right next to Toresian and was doing turn-ins, he eventually summoned another pet that was right in the way of doing turn-ins, no matter what angle I tried. I didn't really want to root him and camp all over again. I found that if I taunted just the pet, but never actually hit him, the pet would attack but Slansin would still do the quest. I did this and had the pet to my back, hitting me once in a while for 1. Low lvl peeps might not be able to pull that off, but at 70 it was a cakewalk.

Also, if Toresian will not give the quest, kill the low lvl necro that spawns near the docks in Toxx forest. Collect his bones for some free guard faction as well. I did this for an hour or so and was then amiable to Toresian (I started at dubiously)

you can use an alt/mule/etc to get 150 of these rebby's rat whiskers (7.5 stacks). then you can sneak behind nestral (Use Rogue Shroud) and turn them in even if you're KOS to underground traders faction. i read in another post that this would be enough to fix faction for both traders and militia.

that's a Ton of running and collecting maybe someday i will have the patience to do that, i did one stack and it gave me a backache and headache just sitting there in ultra-boringness :(

scroll down and this is the post i read..

For some reason im KOS with all freeport militia! I never kiled one but im still getting attacked. Im halfling cleric for crying out loud

Hey the problem is that you guys are turning n Death Fist belts! They lower the faction with Freeport Malitia!!! They do raise the faction with Steel Warriors though. I am a 10 warrior human who is Dubious with her West Freeport guards, because she was killing evil. Shintl Lowbrew is bad to kill even known she's evil! The Freeport Militia doesn't know it but, Shintl Lowbrew is serving the dark elf Queen, and so is Opal Darkbriar! So I'm doing the right thing and starting to be KOS with my own guards! That's upserd! How do I raise my faction with the Freeport Militia, and not hurt my faction with Knights Of Truth or Steel Warriors???
Please do reply, for the fact th at I'm desprate.
And btw Shintl is great exp, but don't kill her to many times, or you'll end up like the 10 warrior who is desprate like me.

Why does every quest to raise faction for a char. who is KOS with freeport milita starts inside east or west freeport or a guard outside? I mean how the HELL are you supposed to start these? Aside from killing orcs to get into north freeport which takes FOREVER there are no quests to raise faction from KOS to getting by. I was able to regain my faction with the militia with my 53 War. by killing guards in nfp for faction then killing orcs to repair it. I like a good challenge but raising faction with freeport militia is near impossible, especially when playing an Iskar Monk who is KOS everywhere.

Any help would be appreciated

I am a level 10 half-elf warrior. Someone was killing milita guards while in wolf-form and leaving their corpses behind. So I looted them and sold the stuff they had....except for their helms, which I turned in at the Pallys guild. Now I am KOS to the militia. The player (who claimed to be partially at fault for this happening to me) bound me in North freeport. So I have been killing minnows in front of the hall of truth. No matter how many I kill, I never seem to be able to go back to east or west fp without being attacked and having to zone. How many does it take to get from glares angrily or whatever to dubious?

My druid ended up grouping with a friend and we killed 10 or 12 toll booth guards maybe more in WC. I understood that I would be KOS but with wolfform I figured no problem get DF belts turn in Faction would be ok. But when I go into wolfform I'm still ready to attack. Is there a difference between shared wolfform and self wolfform. Does anyone have any other ideas to raise faction with Freeport Militia. Thank you

I am a DE and i just started my mage. Fp is very important i think i and i wanna know what i can do to raise my faction so im not kos anywhere in Fp and HH.

ok the final say on the freeport faction, cause i have been doing it with an iksar monk for the last 2 weeks.
orcs raise knights of valor, ashen hand, and one other faction not freeport millita. when you kill enough orcs, you can use the secret tunnels to get to north freeport from west freeport. you will be ok with the guards cause they are all on the knights of valor(or pally) faction. you can use the bank, but the vendors will not sell to you, unless indiffernt or higher. for faction in west freeport and the millita, get belts, get shared wolf form, turn them in a load at a time. do this faction first, cause killing orcs forever gets really boring and since killing orcs wont lower millita faction, i recomend that this be done. that way, you are non kos to the millita and non kos to the pally guards(all named sir) in north freeport. just be careful not to run near the other caster guilds cause you will get nuked. there is no permanent faction hit, its just a long and hard process to get it back up. you can also raise millita faction by turning in orc pics and then derv rings to guard valon in west commons, you just have to be non kos i believe. but that might be too low, indifferent might be better. happy hunting.

Any chance to get back non-kos faction after the Soulfire quest?And how?

I assisted in the takedown of Sir Lucan in West Freeport for a guildies Epic. I zoned out for the first kill, but didn't make it in time for the kill of his skeleton after-self.

Naturally I went KOS in West Freeport with the FreeportMilitia. What surprised me is that I went around to East Freeport and was KOS to those guards as well !! In Addition...I turned into a wolf and was STILL KOS !! WTF ????

If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them, cause it looks like killing one mob floored both factions when they are supposed to be linked.

I got the faction from sir lucan, and I want to know, is it REALLY a permanent faction hit? I mean really, i've been trying to get faction from a week now, i want to know if it's really permanent... If it is, then is there no way for me to get into WFP? I'm an Iksar Monk and i helped kill Sir Lucon DLere because my friend told me it would raise NFP faction very big.... Someone please tell me if it's permanent or not(I hope its not, because my friend just told me it just drops your WFP faction down to 0)... SOMEONE EMAIL ME AT SYKOTEK@PRODIGY.NET !!!

Ok, i started out indiff to the militia and kos to the knights of truth. now i am above indiff to the knights and kos to militia. I had to kill a few guards in Efrprt for darkforge quest as I am a DE SK. Now when ever I kill orcs and the such to raise faction in frport at all, I get no increase for the militia at all. Is there a way for me to correct this. I kinda need the frprt area for merchants and boat to BB. I am just wondering if I can get my faction fixed or not. I cant turn in DF belts, kos and cant get to the guy now. If anyone knows a way to fix this, please post it here. Thanx

Why is it that every quest that gives faction for the FP militia take faction from the Knights of Truth. I am needing faction in all of FP not just East or west. I was wondering if there were any quest that a 15 iksar monk can do to raise faction with both or one that raises it with FP militia but doesn't lower the knights of truth.

I took my first trip to FP, first trip ANYWHERE for that matter. :) I went looking around the place not knowing (should have found out first:( anything about what I would find there. I have lived a fairly sheltered life thus far in Kelethin) :) anyway I ended up somewhere that the bad guys hang out :) I was set upon by this female named Diana Poxbourne ( or something like that) she set her pet skelly on me and in 2 seconds flat I was a gonna, it took me HOURS and being killed a few more times,(and the help from some great and kind players who I never really got a chance to say a proper thank you to.) to retreive my stuff!! I now have this burning desire to go back if I can one day (when I am older and wiser) and pay her a call. I have looked EVERYWHERE I can think of for information about her, but can find nothing. could anyone tell me anything about her? I just have to redeem myself after being killed by someone with a name like THAT!! :)

Thank you in advance.

Killing the warriors (LVL 35) in FP Arena will raise faction to Militia. But this will screw your faction with North FP. You can do the Tumpy Tonic quest and this will raise your faction to NFP again. I think 7 or 8 stacks of Tumpy Tonic handed to Grolfah or something in East FP will fix your NFP faction.

I don't know if this has always been, but this jerk can see invis. He stands right at the entrance to the militia house and got me killed. Watch out for him! I may have the name misspelled, but it's close. BTW, does anyone know if he was added recently, cuz i've never had a problem going invis in Freeport before

Hi, i just got kos (dunno why) with guards in FP. Coming from commons one at least even see trought my invisibility !!
Is there a risk with Sir something that is inside of bank or the guard at entrance ?
Would be nice if anyone knows :-)

hi i am a lvl 6 ikasar monk. i am in wfp and i get kos all the time and i hate it!!
can you tell me pleasse how to have them like me and not kill me?? plz email me at dsl-munk@c4.com

If u were kos to Fp milita and u found a way to get non kos plz post how u did it here

Is it possible to get faction back after killing locan the leader of the militia ?
or is it permanent state ?

Ok, coming from teh EC and facing the fp gate go to the wall on your left, follow the wall down to where there is a corner and go around the wall and in a spot you go through it. From there on its pretty easy, a bit dark though, and u will need a light source if you dont wanna get lost. You follw the LEFT side when going to NFP, you will go down and there will ber a slainted upwards hill, go up it and go LEFT and just follow the wall and whenever you can make a turn left take it. this will bring you to nfp. OOH and in a big circle room go strait through.

I thought this was all common knoledge, but decided to post it incase this could help you.

have fun.

i killed guards valon and colin in wc maybe 10 times and i went from apprehensive to scowl. anyone know a sure way to get this faction up?

This is a long, tedious procedure, but by far the safest yet I've found. Make a mule rogue that starts in Freeport. (or get your high lvl char to do it, preferably a mage so he can gate one way at least) Hail the inky underneath the Tavern at the docks and tell her "Who is Janam and Rebby's?".
This will give you a note that you hand in to Rebby in WFP in front of the ashen order. Do this until you have about 6 or 7 stacks of Rebby's Rat Whiskers, then give them to your IKS monk. The key to handing them in is sneaking and staying BEHIND the inky. As long as her back is to you and you're sneaking, she will be indifferent which will allow you to hand in the whiskers and have them count. This will give you good faction with FP militia, Carson McCabe (ruler of FP) and the tradefolk (both good and bad). Your IKS monk can procede to slay the orc pawns, apprentaces, and centurions to get good faction with the Hummie Monks. (Ashen Order) Don't kill anything higher than a cent though, as your bad faction will bottom out and you won't get anymore increases.
This works only for a monk that has the sneak ability at lvl 8. As far as every other class goes, maybe a wolf form would help to turn in the whiskers, but I do not know.
I hope this helps ya'll. =)
