SG faction and bard song

[jazzman_so_fresh]

If I completely trash my SG faction, can I use my faction song to become non-kos?

On that note, does an instrument help in the amount of improved faction? Thx

You can only kill a few mobs before even faction song wont save you.

Not sure if you're 60, but if so, you should be able to get through with your DA song.

From data taken from the wiki:

Faction bottoms out at -2000

Dubious starts at -699

Bard song only adds 600 faction at 60

I've never killed anything in SG and faction song takes me to apprehensive

Apprehensive starts at -449

You have a 250ish faction buffer to kill in SG

Most importantly

Don't kill in SG, don't be in a group if you are in CS or SG, don't sing any songs other than faction song in SG

Once you lose that faction, you can never get it back


*edit* faction song is not currently affected by instrument mods. It may or may not be classic (no firm evidence), but devs have been pretty clear that a 1440 faction jump will not happen on P99.
