Enchanter Epic: Test of Illusions (Archive)  

Lengthy post...

Because your race AFFECTS your faction, it doesn't eliminate it. For most of us this is irrelivent because we can not modify our race but for enchanters, and to a lesser extent bards and rogues, this is invaluable knowledge.

Everyone starts out with a base faction with EVERY faction in the game. For some factions like say crushbone orcs that faction puts us below the KOS (Kill on Sight) level but for others like say freeport militia most of us are not KOS. Your starting faction levels with everyone are determined by your race, religion and class at character creation. Once you go out into the world you will eventually do things that adjust these factions.

Now I don't know the exact numbers so I'll make some up as an EXAMPLE ONLY, DO NOT take these NUMBERS as fact they are just used to show you how faction works. Say you are an agnostic high elf enchanter, you will have a base faction with dark elf (DE) guards that makes you KOS, we'll call this faction 100. You can use illusion DE to boost base faction with DE guards, lets say this brings you up 100 points to 200 and are not KOS.

Now say you killed some DE guards for sport at some point, and took 100 points. What this means is you have a faction of 0 and your 100 point boost for DE illusion only brings you up to 100 which is KOS.

Another example say you need a 300 points faction for a quest. You have 100 and your illusion gives you another 100 but you still have to do faction work to get that last 100 before you can do the quest.

Another example would be if you use gnome illusion instead, this may only give you 50 more points than high elf. Maybe 150 isn't KOS but that means you have to be more weary of killing these guards because you are closer to being KOS than you would be as a DE.

Last example, say you wanted to stroll through Nek Forest as a high elf, you need to gain 50 points of faction by doing quests as a dark elf (or a gnome) first.

You need 2 open slots in your inventory for this to work now. Give the seal to the any of the quest mobs, and he (or she) will give you the seal back first, and then the bag. If you have only 1 inventory slot open, the seal goes into the open slot, and the bag goes into oblivion, being that it is no drop.

Well about your faction in Oggok,
Just do stien quest hun several times ,(Ive never had prob getting rid of one to do quest again) so Have fun ;)

I've noticed that miss Blossum is indifferent to me even though my Ogre faction is otherwise very good. The merchant, however, may give you trouble. Usually merchants don't drop below dubious though and maybe that's good enough to do the quest.

Don't kill the poor Ogres next time.
