I seriously need to upgrade my enchantresses items but I need to know if there are any negative faction hits involved in obtaing these dull metalic armor pieces.
Everything in all LoY zones wants to kill you for just being there. There are some factions hits in some zones but none anyone should care about and no method I have found to raise them even if you did for whatever reason.
I have just discovered that the drolvarg teeth quest now lowers your faction standing with gunthark pirates (which is always kos to begin with). So old world zones affect factions there too.
Actually, the Gunthak Pirates faction is an old world faction that despite its name seems to have nothing to do with the mobs in the LoY zones. It's confusing, yes, but that's the way they set this thing up.
After having researched the new LoY zones I'm convinced that SoE utterly ignored most faction issues in setting them up. There are virtually no faction hits for anything you do anywhere in that entire expansion.
I might also add that the faction for the LoY zones - broken skull initiate, pirates of broken skull rock, etc. can be affected by quests on the mainland . . . but most of the quests became available in the LoY expansion.
Just before the Dulak zone there is a fort area with alot of "race specific" citizens, residents and commoners. She popped inside the white bldg (follow the left wall to Dulak) midway to the castle area. I was there for about 3 hours and she popped after killing the ph's consistantly. There are 3 npc's that pop in that bldg, and they are never the same when repopped.
