Shadowed men raise faction

[hedbonker]

Are Shadowed men in the game yet? Was not sure but I guess they would have to be for at least the jboot quest to work...

There are 2 or 3 places in the game where you can buy runes to raise faction. I think they are like 30gold a pop or something... don't quote me on that.

Derv rings is something else you can collect easily and hand them in to the named Orc in SouthRo. Make sure you are handing in three at a time.

Sorry I'm not giving you more detailed info but this exact question has been answered a few times already on the forums.


EDIT:

Tarn in Highkeep (Erudite). hand him bloodstones for faction:

hell, i gave you something to do eh? forums would be dead without some repeat questions. thanks for info i'll look into these methods

You don't hand the Derv Rings to the Orc actually.. You hand them to the Erudite in the tent. And giving him 30 gold increments is the easiest way to raise faction for temple, just hand the Erudite in the tent in the corner of South Ro 30 gold at a time for faction raise.

Bad news: Not knowing when to stop handing in gold cause you're already amiable, other thann running all the way to temple to check the con. Iirc I gave about 120 - 180pp to get up to amiable myself.

Good news: Each time you give him 30g, he reaches into his spell bag and gives you a scroll, by the end of it you can make back a 20%-50% or so of your money from vendoring all the spells you got

Hey I posted this a while back. easiest way is to go to Mistmoore. Get an invis to the graveyard. Inside the hut there their is a flower that spawns on top the sarcophagus (spelling...shuddup) bring that flower to the named shadowperson behind the hut (ssynthi or something). The flower respawns every 20 seconds or so, takes about 10-15 mins to go from almost threatening to amiable. Enjoy.

these are facts


timeframe is not an exaggeration either, 10-15 mins = threat->kindly

You definitely hand the rings to the orc. I've done it multiple times on this server:

That being said, the flower thing in MM sounds real good but it should be spawning in Lfay, not in MM.

Negative; in classic EQ it will be in Mistmoore.

A little while back on EQLive, they turned Mistmoore into a level 75ish zone. While this was going on, Xicotl, Ssynthi, and a few other important mobs were moved out into LFay. It would appear as though Allah's updated for this, then didn't change it back when the temporary level 75MM event ended.

just wanted to confirm that this works insanely well. as a half-elf paladin of tunare i went from indifferent to amiable in 5-10 turn ins, ~3 minutes. cool

I remember that flower being in MM in the early days, not sure when it got moved so it makes sense that it's there now at least.

In addendum to this thread I remember Keepers in the Temple of Sol Ro being really good and uncontested solo XP for Necros and Enchanters. The MM trick sounds like a good solution for leveling there and still being able to do quests when you want/need to. I can't believe I didn't pick up on that while doing my Shadowbound quest (flower/scepter is for the robe iirc). Good find. Thank you.

-You can con Ortallius the orc to see what your faction is. Hes on sol ro faction and wanders near the erudite (Rathmana Allin)

-You can give him 3 plat instead of 30gp.

-Your right about selling the spells back, I think I almost broke even by doing it.

This has to be the easiest way to raise Sol ro faction
