Dranik Loyalists

It took me 1979 kills to go from KOS to ally. I think Anguish is the best place since there are lots of mobs and most seem to give the faction hit. Nobles Causeway is also good once you learn the circuit for faction mobs.

Were is a good spot for AFK factioning? Ive found a spot were i get 5 to aggro but thats it.

Does the Anguish trash mobs give more than 1 faction hit?

Going off of a previous post about the numbers of mobs killed between factions, and I quote:

Indifferent to Amiable 70 kills (+/- 25)
Amiable to Kindly 350 kills (+/- 25)
Kindly to Warmly 200 kills (+/- 25)

This information was very helpful. I decided to keep track after I reached Kindly faction. After every train I killed I counted the number of corpses I looted and wrote it down in a spread sheet to keep track of. This is what I came up with:

Kindly to Warmly between 237 and 271 kills
Warmly to Ally between 304 and 348 kills

From Kindly to Warmly I spent most of my time in Noble's Causeway, with brief visits to Dranik's Scar and Wall of Slaughter.
From Warmly to Ally I spent all of my time in Noble's Causeway. I could pull trains of up to 30 mobs that give faction and mow them down then move on to the next spot. Ferans, Bazus, and Murkgliders did not give faction, but Dragorns, Kyv, Noc, Ikaav, and Akuan did, and there were plenty of those around. Levitate makes the terrain manageable and after killing close to 600 mobs there I found it pretty easy to navigate. I picked up a ton of gems (a little over 13k worth going from apprehensive to ally)and Flawed, Elaborate, and Intricate Defiant pieces for alts.

I hope this information helps. Good luck!

This faction grind is officially driving me crazy :). Still, it'll be worth it in the end.

This is what happens when you put expansions out so fast without planing for what gonna happen when oow is 4 expansions back.you make a toon and hang out where everyone else is,and its not in oow.

when i first coned the armor guy in DS i was at scowl,lol.this account is 1.8 years old and we started raiding anguish like 6 months ago.so it took me 1.2 years of play to casualy get to kindly,what i coned just before i steped into anguish.on a good note.i think it only took like 7-10 raids in AoA to get to max ally.I think the bosses give ya huge faction hits.

I have seen it parsed out in places and it is around 5k mobs from scowl to max ally,if memory serves.

Do you get more Faction Hits in the higher level zones like WoS or MPG v/s DS?

I've heard it does vary by zone, can anyone confirm ?

Sure you slaughter faster in DS but if the mobs in MPG are giving you 6-10 hits per kill as well as actual XP then it might be worth it.

I've been 2 boxing DS, NC, and RCOD with a warrior/cleric. The warrior is now kindly but the cleric is still dubious. I've been careful to tag every kill with the cleric so why is the Warrior so far ahead of the cleric? Could it be related to race/religion?

Have a 70 druid who can solo the named in DS and i was wondering if the named give a bigger faction hit? equal to two or three maybe, or are they the same as the other mobs?

I have been keeping track of how many mobs are needed to kill to get from one faction level to another. Unfortunately, I only started after Dubious.

Indifferent to Amiable 70 kills (+/- 25)
Amiable to Kindly 350 kills (+/- 25)
Kindly to Warmly 200 kills (+/- 25)

I added the +/- cause I would check every 25-50 mobs depending on time.

All faction was done in Dranik Scar at lvl 65 at the BF zone. Almost all mobs were LB cons.

As a Warrior, making sure you tag all mobs so you get the faction hit can be a challenge. I went to Lavastorm and purchased the Lvl 61 DoN Disc "Whirlwind Blade". I used that a great deal while factioning because it does a single atk dmg on all mobs in a small radius of you. Make sure they are nicely bunched up when you use it. It does generate good aggro so hopefully you have a decent healer.

Factioning this way makes it go by very fast. In total, I spent maybe 5-6 days (3-5 hrs per session).

My faction is stuck on -- with these guys. thats so anoying that it dont even have a name.

This is the faction list that is often used, can't confirm the ranges myself. 1 points represents 1 normal kill. Depending on faction you are working on you MAY get more points from 1 kill. (e.g. raid mobs and such).


Ally = 1450 to 2500
Warmly = 1100 to 1450
Kindly = 750 to 1100
Amiable = 150 to 750
Indifferent = 0 to 150
Apprehensive = 0 to -150
Dubious = -150 to -750
Threateningly = -750 to -1100
Ready to Attack = -1100 to -2500

I have been killing in DS for 2 days. This may not seem long, but they have been 2 12 hour days. Killing only Noc, Kyv and Ukun and almost non stop killing, I have yet to get out of Threatening. Every person I talk to says I should be at least indiff by now, as I have kept count and am at 1127 kills with positive Faction hits for loyalists. Any clue what is wrong?

I have discovered a beutiful little loop to get good faction and staying busy at the same time . upon approaching the bloodfields up that huge hill ....run to the right before first small tunnel entr and kill 5 on right side ...can all be single pulled..then run thru tunnel and kill 3 on left then 4 on right....turn around go back out and kill 2 on right as you leave then around corner on the outside to corner is a posted kyv then follow wall an find 4-5 walkers and 2 more posted ......return to first point i mentioned and start over ...i have been doing this loop now for a cpl days and went form scowls to dubios in 3 days bout 2-3 hours each day ..its about a 20 mob loop and respawns start almost immediately if not already waiting for you when you get back...hope this helps ...any new factioners who always miss raids and what not due to scheduling.
