WTF am I missing?

Trying to get Steel Warrior faction by killing Dorn in North Ro.

Started out Amiable with Indigo Brotherhood.
Started out Threatening with Steel Warriors.

I'm now Threatening with Indigo Brotherhood, so about -1000 faction @ 30 per kill.
I'm still Threatening with Steel Warriors (supposedly +10 per Dorn).

1000 / 30 = 33 Dorns (my pets loving duel wielding his Dragoon Dirks). 33 * +10 to Steel Warriors = 330 which should easily have taken me out of Threatening to Dubious but still no joy.

Edit: Scowling with Indigo now, still Threatening with Steel Warriors.

Probably that the wiki isn't always correct, especially about faction issues.

Yeah, don't put much faith in the numbers.

You'd probably be better off doing Deathfist belts then giving milk to Mojax Hikspin.

Yeah, oh well, trashed my Indigo faction for nothing. On the bright side going to get my spells will be more exciting then it used to be.

I'll try the deathfist thing. Thanks

Yeah but killing Dorn is SO much fun. I hated that guy on live and hate him now. I go by on some of my level 60 toons if no one is camping it and kill him for the hell of it.

You're missing the biggest factor in all of this. Everquest hates you. It hates us all.

Yeah Dorns a bitch. Gets sowed and buffed by the shaman derv lol. Nasty for melee's.

I think I figured out what is it (apart from EQ hating us [You must be logged in to view images.

I hope, because next is Yelosom Paust... at 5 will need to be 300 kills to get amiable to Paineel I think, yuck.

Could get a wolf form but doesn't go with my skeleton, and looks are important to a necromancer.

Must be less than 5 lol. Indigo is - Couldn't get any worse, 100 Dorns roughly. WTF. Maybe the faction hit is +1 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's generally going to take you a few hundred/thousand kills to get from a KOS faction to a non KOS one.
