Your not the only one that is questing to repair faction when you spend your character career keeping it clean. How About from Apprehensive to dubious to all merchants, and guards in Freeport. I didn't kill or adjust my faction there at all. Then "The Patch" comes. Now i suffer with these no Xp Excedrin Headache faction adjustments, just so i can buy from Merchants there. So you tell me. Was it a patch goof?
This guy is basically a faction balancer. Some people are dubious to every one in Qeynos, but if they do gnolls/fangs the still get worse corrupt guard faction OR if you one of those bad asses who camps the corrupt guards in WK. Just jump down in the sewers and smack this guy around.
Depends: some have easier ways of raising faction than others. For Qeynos guards, just go to BlackBurrow for a couple nights and either 'tag' every gnoll you see (where you run up to a gnoll someone else is fighting and hit it once - doesn't KS from those fighting, and you won't get xp, but you will get the faction adjustment when it dies).
I think the same holds true for the merchants of Qeynos, but not sure.
The one I struggle with is the temple of life, which I wanted good faction to get a quest item. Somehow, I ruined my faction there down to dubious, and they are not as easy to raise. Bandit sashes work, although I have yet to collect a substantial amount of those, as does the rabid wolf/bear pelts. Also, curiously, if you give Novashine whathisname 4gp, you'll get a small faction hit. I managed to, after 20pp or so, to go from dubious to apprehensively. Whoo hoo. Good to know that the priests there can be bought off. :)
Moral of the story? Don't ruin your faction in anymore places than you have to, because you never know when you'll need it back.
Temple of Life faction can be raised by giving Lashun 2 bonechips at a time too. Takes about 160 bone chips to get from dubious to amiable, then you can get prayer beads or rodcet nife ring by giving other dude in the pool the fish.

Posted:Jul 11 2000 at 6:13 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Why are DE guards such pussies? I mean such low llv, if there were HG's and Griffenes in their zone they would be SOL. Give me a Qeynos Guard any day!
I can testify that, indeed, this guard is level 4. He appears in one area of the aqueducts that I know of, typically with another similar level spawn (a beggar, a skeleton), close to the exit to the docks. The faction hits for killing him are:
