Dont ever leave this zone! you can come here at lvl 20 and stay in the basement and kill goblins till 35, then you can solo guards or group them if you like but there faction is only good for HighKeep so dont worry about faction, the faction is also affective if you enter one building in freeport and thats the building wit the big FREEPORT MILITA painted on it just dont go in there an you will be fine ). plus guards drop Fine steel weapons which can be sold and they drop 1-5pp a kill making quick plat even ont he greenest guards. I have been here since lvl 20 and i am now 37 soloing guards with my monk. Bind Wound, Mend, Kill.. Kill... Bind wound, mend, kill... kill.. ETC... im getting ALMOST a full blue bubble from killing Darkblue guards have fun and dont worry about faction if it ever comes to it you can always get it up by killing orcs )UBAH EXP

Never leaving is a good idea, except that you will get encumbered a lot.

Wrong.

Freeport militia is the guard faction for east freeport, west freeport, east commonlands, AND West commonlands.

If you are interested in travelling ANY of these zones, please be aware that killing guards and/or nobles in Highkeep will make you KOS to these guards.

Also, you get a faction hit with Corrupt qeynos guards, which, while not as bad, can still be a problem. Not all Qeynos guards are corrupt, but they are mixed in with the regular ones. What makes this bad is, once a corrupt attacks you, all the regular guards will jump into the fight, and help the corrupt guard, not you.

Also, one corrupt guard, usually seen near the crow's nest in North Qeynos, is a lvl 51 SK, with a mean harmtouch.

Corrupt guards are found primarily IN Qeynos, however there are a few in Qeynos hills, and throughout the Karanas.

Something to think about, before you move upstairs,and start killing the human inhabitants of HK.

Last thing : killing orcs doesn't help freeport militia, or corrupt qeynos factions. Killing the orcs in highpass will help Highkeep factions. However, turning in their scalps, along with gnoll scalps from the other end of the zone, and goblin ears from the basement, to the appropriate guard captains, will. Killing Deathfist orcs (the ones near freeport) won't help militia faction, unless you turn in the belts to the militia captain, which in turn ruins faction in NORTH freeport, and you can't do it anyway, if you're KOS to militia.

The flip side of the corrupt guards faction for Highpass is there are three mini-quests you can do in Highpass Hold and Highpass Keep to RAISE your faction with the Crrupt Qenyos Guards and the Freeport Militia without lowering any other factions.

Turn in goblin ears to Capitan Bosec in High Keep. Turn in Gnoll scalps to Capitan Orben and Orc scalps to Capitan Ashlan in Highpass Hold. It takes a LOT of turn-ins, but it's one of the few ways to get in their good graces without upsetting anyone else.

Yes, I agree. The quests are great for faction. My point is, killing guards/nobles wrecks your faction FAST!!! It took several weeks for me to get my pally to max ally, and 2 hours to lose it all back to indifferent killing guards.

To many other good zones to hunt, to kill all those factions by killing guards/nobles here.
