I cant find information pertaining to using alliance on him in order to turn in the tear for the shaman epic. My enchanter friend has the tear but not the faction. Could he use alliance to max faction out?

I would not recommend risking this, get the faction. This turn in won't work unless you've seen the "your faction standing cannot possibly get any better" message. Needed for both turning in the tear to Rak and turning in the scale to the ghost wolf in EJ

I second what Ginnas said. You need MAX faction for this to work. The shaman epic is a faction grind with a final fight. Do not chance it with the spells or you will have a bad time.

Gah ok the wiki also says that as of 10/23/18 (yesterday) that you dont need MAX ALLY just ally

max ally

This might be true, but you absolutely do need max to turn in the scale in EJ. Also, the person turning in tear to Rak doesn't lose the faction so you might as well max it just to be sure. As this MQ succeeding / failing is the difference between you getting your epic, or not.

You do need it.

Believe

Didn't have max ally on my shaman and it worked fine.

For the turn in to the wolf in EJ? Or to Rak Ashy?

Fake news max ally doesnt matter
