Prexus Cleric Heretic Faction
 

Hello, returning player. Was gonna get back into the game tomorrow as a Deepwater Knight, was wondering how many kobolds do I need to kill to make it so that I can travel safely inside Paineel so I can level in the warrens early on? Should I even attempt the Warrens at earliest possible level (solo)? Thanks!

I think going from max scowling to dubious is around 1500 faction points. This means 1500 kills at the absolute max. I highly doubt you start at max scowling, so it will be less than 1500. But I don't know the exact figure. If you get more than 1 faction point per kill, it will go faster too. I am not sure about that either. Most mobs only give 1 faction point per kill sadly.

Warrens is a great spot to gain XP, but I am not sure how easy it is if you are untwinked. Haven't tried a solo untwinked Warrens run. You could probably ask for an invis from another player or a dial-a-port so you can get to Warrens without needing to faction up first.

Thanks! I’m aggressive, not scowls, and I do have a little bit in the ways of twinked gear (Poison Wind Censor, boots of brawn, hero bracer and the rest banded as well as two str rings and two hp earrings). I was considering trying to book it in there at level 6 and rush the warrens tunnels lol.

I was a bit off on my number. It's 1301 faction points to go from max scowling to doubious.

Going from threatening to dubious is easier. You'll just need 350 faction points at most.

Poison Wind Censor isn't the best option for a level 6. Your weapon damage gets capped at lower levels. This is the table for priests:

1-9 = 9 Weapon Damage Max
10-19 = 12 Weapon Damage Max
20-29 = 20 Weapon Damage Max
30-39 = 26 Weapon Damage Max
40+ = 40 Weapon Damage Max

Your Poison Wind Censor is a 9 Damage 28 Delay Weapon right now with level 1-9 damage cap. Usually you want a weapon like Jade Mace for the first 19 levels. Jade Mace is a 9 Damage 18 Delay weapon.

Once you get to level 20 the Poison Wind Censor will be a 20 Damage 28 Delay weapon.

Ah gotcha, thanks for that. I do have an ebonwood cudgel and a cracked darkwood shield as well! I’ll use those for a bit then to get me off the ground. 350 shouldn’t be that bad, I’ll just need to kill a lot of kobolds lmao.

It took way less than I thought, by the time I got to level 5 I was already dubious with heretics lol. Just from levelling normally in Toxx. Now I gotta try the Warrens. Wish me luck!

Good luck! Once you hit apprehensive you’ll be able to vendor there too! In the mean time the druid ring may be your closest ‘friendly’ merchant.
