Troll shamans killing me (ogre sham)

[1203jjt]

Is there a reason why the troll shaman guild would be pwning me? I'm only lvl 6, and just been killing frogloks...was heading to the bank and got killed...3 times.

[Pringles]

cause youre an ogre?

[Brut]

Unfortunately classic, ogre shm starts out KOS at troll shm guild. Remember this awfully well from live. =<

[1203jjt]

Well that blows...any tips on raising faction at this low of a level?

[Sithel1988]

shoulda gone with like a cleric brah, or druid. then you can be friendly with everybody starting out and chill with all the cool people in greater faydark

[1203jjt]

I'm not expecting to be friendly with elves...just thought trolls and ogres tolerated each other a bit better :/

[Sithel1988]

awwww man i was hoping you would do it lol. i just started again and made a high elf mage, hes lvl 3 now :P

I think the ogres/trolls have some weird faction clashes, to particular classes against each other... I think it has something to do with the Dark Elves involvement in norrath politics or something lore wise...

according to ZAM the troll shaman faction is called the Dark Ones, allied with the Shadow Knight guild, but no real way to raise the faction it would seem...

I have a 50 ogre shaman. I was NEVER KOS at the Grobb shaman guild. I am now and I don't know why. It only started about two or three weeks ago. I had assumed it was from faction hits taken from assisting my cleric with her Aegis of Life quest but now after reading this post, I'm wondering if they changed something in a recent patch.

And on live I also played an ogre a lot and hung out in Grobb all of the time and NEVER was KOS in the shaman guild. NEVER! I think I would have remembered that since you have to pass through Shaman guild to get to the bank.

[1203jjt]

Yeah, I don't remember it being like this back then either, but it's been a long time for me. It's kind of a big deal since it cuts me off from the bank as well :/

There was some major faction work done recently - see this announcement (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=81229).

You can still sell to Stragak in Innothule; just avoid going into Grobb.

And kill dem Bashers! :)

assisting my cleric ??? Boxer confirmed?

Had them both positioned there. Logged on shaman. Pet kept the placeholders killed. Logged on cleric to kill the nameds.

Phobus... I think you've shed light on the situation. My ogre shaman is of Rallos Zek. And yes it was a troll shaman who inexplicably started putting the beat down on him.

You'll still get faction hits from pet kills.

[Doeboy]

yes, i went through this last week. it's one troll in particular near the guillotine. if you run across fast enough to the bank she won't aggro. i was level 12 when i tested this. i'm almost certain it's a rallos zek thing.

I know that, Phobus, but the mobs I was killing shouldn't have affected my faction with any shaman in Grobb.

[Purdee]

yes I used to be able to train in Grobb, Rallos Zek Ogre Shaman here.

a little while ago I got attacked and killed by some Troll woman when I went to train in Grobb, didn't even realize she was attacking me until it was too late :)

Purdee! It's me... Vlasic!

Purdee, how goes it? Long time no see :)

Did it tickle? I love it when the green girls do that.

If it makes you feel any better, my Troll SHM got murdered in Oggok the other day when I wandered too close to the Ogre SHM trainers... At least I don't have to run that gantlet to get to friendly merchants or the bank, however.
