Corrupt Guards (Paladin Version)  

Why dont the freeport militia and knights of truth fight each other now, because they are in same zone. How come when I pull a freeport militia to the knight of truth guard he doesnt do anything, and I'm his ally. Whats so special about being an ally when indifferent is the same thing, its not like you get extra PP for selling to an ally, or getting help. Because of this quest and new zone the knights of truth and freeport militia should be attacking each other.

I'm a Warrior/Human Lvl10 with the Steel Warriors faction, and after completing the initial newby quest for my Warrior GM - Cain Darkmoore (who is now in East Freeport behind the Arena), he sends me over to the Hall of Truth to speak with the Paladins regarding the Freeport Militia, who are not be trusted he says.

Now, I spoke with Valeron Dushire - Paladin GM first, since I remembered him from my PAL character, and he gave me the story behind the Freeport Militia and their leader Sir Lucan (interesting story).
He also goes on to say if I am able to defeat Sir Lucan, to bring back his 'Testimony' which each Knight of the Hall of Truth carries (Sir Lucan still has his), for a reward.

He then explains that if I want to help in the fight against the Freeport Militia and it's Tyranny, I am to speak with either Jemoz or Sir Theron (Theron Rolius the Paladin GM obviously) who is just next to him.
Now, he goes on to explain that since I want to help, he'll put an open bounty on all Freeport Militia member, and that he will reward me for every 'Bashed Militia Helm' I return to him.
IF I don't feel like I'm ready for that, he needs assistance in other areas.
One of which he would need a young acolyte to retrieve a message for him, OR
Since he's been working on Sharkskin Shields, he requires (2) two shark skins from Reef Sharks.
I chose to help with the Shark Skins for now, and he gave me an 'Empty Shark Sack' with orders to travel to the Ocean of Tears to swim around and kill Reef Sharks until I filled the bag with Shark Skins. Once you have the (2) two Shark Skins and combined them in the bag, you return it to him for your reward.

Experience: Negligable by the time you can do the quest. Even when you can kill Ledshin (the lowest level guard that drops the helm. WFP, level 28. 800-900hp, hits for 70s max) the XP is crap. But, this isn't supposed to be done for xp...
Money: 1 to 4 pp each time you do it.
Faction: Excellent. My iksar beastlord (level 49, so it was pretty fast for me), following cazic, went from scowling (maxxed down, I've killed a lot of paladins) to amiable in a half hour and 32 helms. The half hour of guard killing got me to dubious (I did some pulls from the gaurdhouse, higher levels) and the helms took me to amiable. This quest is VERY worth doing for faction or boredom (I did for the latter) as it is _the_ fastest way to raise your faction with the Knights and Priests of Marr, and all those other factions.
Risk: High. Every zoneline out of freeport is guarded by high SVM guards with an extreme amount of hp and high damage. I recommend West freeport as the guards are more spread out and tend to be lower level on average (exception: gate, gaurdhouse), and you can med/rest at the arena without fear of them jumping you.

GL with this all, as the fewer softskin guards there are patrolling this overgrown village, the faster the Iksar Empire can take it for our own.

There are some some low level guards in East & West commons, so yes a 15 can do it solo or better yet with a group.

ok to do this i have to do some side quest called test of truth .. my paladin alt (lvl 32) worshipper of brells went to talk to the paladin guildmaster that starts the quest and he wouldnt say anything after i replied to his first remark.. wth is there a certain faction i need to have right now im indifferent but when i talk to others about the quest (killing lucan , newb armor quests) i get the entire conversation what am i not doing ?

it says that that you can does this at lvl 10.i dont think you can kill a guard at 10 can you?

Lets say you kill a North Freeport guard. Will your faction go up with the freeport militia as much as it goes down with the Knights of Truth? Please help.

Down below a Sk asked if he could do this quest and some answered that he could if he were no somehow KOS to every Paladin on Norrath. My SK has killed hundreds of gnolls and turned in about 128 gnoll fangs and now cons ally to many in qeynos, the worst cons(paladins) are dubious. So an SK can be not KOS to paladins in certain places.
I guess that as an SK if you kill a corrupt guard the faction with the goody goodies will go up. I can't guess why an sk would do this anyway, doesn't the orc belts quest (good version) raise faction with the goody goodies anyway?

I don't understand how you people say a lvl 15 pally can complete this quest or even start it. I'm lvl 23 and they still con red to me. Are you people majorly twinked or do you have a high lvl partner doing most of the work?

I dont know how to get through the tunnels. ive gone a part way through but i didnt know where it went so i went back. Also thre are lots of different paths.

"ohh yes let's not forget THE FACTION"

It's nice to be ally to almost every good race. High faction is good, I sell FS weapons for 6pp+ and buy stuff cheap, yes it saves and makes money over time :) Just think how much you lose when you go to town with 5 bags full of FS :)

Something to be proud of, most people don't realize this is a RP game. It's not about killing same mobs over and over for 10 levels in same zone, there's more to do that just killing all the time. Raising faction is one way.

I suggest not doing it until a higher lvl. I did it at 18 and now I have to run through WFP really fast to get to NFP.

If the tunnel is meant for "evil" races then how safe is it for a paladin to be running around in them?

a little side note to the guard quest. i pull yellow guards to rear entrance of the arena...now i must use LOH for thois, but once i have killed the yellow guard i go into the arena have a friend kill me...this will refresh LOH and so on and so on....

Getting this quest seems to trigger another quest involving the bones of a fallen paladin. I can't find any information about this quest, so I was wondering if anyone else has come across this quest as well.

I cant find a place to attack Fentallin without another guard or merchant seeing.

Hehe Im a lvl 11 monk and amiably to Knights of Truth and Freeport Militia just do this FP rogue guild letter quest quite often.

if you goto highkeep and kill goblins you get goblin ears which increase your freeport, highpass, and qeynos faction while NOT decreasing your knights of truth faction. This is a good way to keep both factions high.

i think it would be bad for me to go in to fp with the glowering at me and killing a guard.... how would i get out of the city
