Hole Key Faction
 

What's the best way to faction up so I can buy a key to The Hole? Should I just be killing a bunch of kobold in the warrens?

Just jump off the side and hope a cleric is there to Rez you and bam! You’re in!

If your class can AOE then do that in the Warrens. If not, recruit a buddy who can AOE. Then you run around and white text the entire zone, causing a massive swarm, and have your buddy AOE them for you.

As a Bard I just ran around the zone twisting my AOE dots.

If you don't need to go to Erudin ever. Killing the guards by the docks is 100 times faster than the Warrens.

Takes a bit of work to get into the Hole

Buy her some flowers and some jewelry

Farm plat to buy an AoN for the faction bonus skelly form gives to get the key.

Call the locksmith!

It's the most straightforward way now it's there. Takes a while though unless you're a pet class or one with a bit of dps to it.

Other than that, if you're a race that can sneak then you just need someone to let you into Paineel etc. I don't think there's any high level NPCs on a direct line from the base of the elevator to the bank level (assuming you're 48+ or so).
