HighpassGuards faction

[Malrubius]

As a Troll SK, I'm trying to get my HighpassGuards faction at least to dubious.

Checking my log file, I've killed 390 gnolls of all varieties including the nameds quite a bit. Most of them I killed in HPH although a few (20-30 were in EK).

All of these kills gave +HighpassGuards faction. But I am still KoS.

I did obtain a wolfform, but that only got me to Dubious, so the Captain still wouldn't accept the 100+ gnoll scalps I have.

Are there any Troll SKs that have managed to get to non-KoS to the guards here? How many gnolls (or orcs?) did you have to kill?


Also, maybe a dev can chime in here...
-do the higher level gnolls give a bigger faction hit (i.e. a gnoll champion vs. a gnoll shaman)?
-do the nameds (Vexen and company) give a still bigger faction hit?

Checking your log file? Do you write it down every time you kill a gnoll or something?
But seriously, what program does that?

you can pay a Bard to help you out with this. Have him play the invis song while in a group with you if you're dubious. Open up the trade window - doing this will cause invis to drop, so wait for invis to come back. When it does, trade Captain Orben a scalp. Lather rinse repeat.

I guess you'll have to be in wolf form first to do this, but trust me, the scalp turn-ins give massive faction hits. 100+ scalps will cap your faction for sure.

I went from threatening to dubious by handing in Left Goblin ears. But I believe that after I got wolf form I was apprehensive, so the guard took the ears from me.

Awesome, that sounds like the way to go - thanks!

I can't help but feeling I'm being trolled here. But just in case I'm not...

Type /log.

You can feign death at the guys feet and turn in your quest items even if you're KOS. That's what I did. I'm an ogre and ally or warmly to the guards can't remember which.

Thanks, yeah, once I hit 30 I'll try that if I don't find a bard/druid to help in the meantime.

I guess too that it doesn't have to be a Bard song - a recast of Invis after the hand-in window should do it, although Invis would have to be recast a LOT for all these scalps.

Don't mean to high jack your thread but are there is anyone hunting in HH? Oasis is getting old....very....old....for my toon. Last time I went, nobody there.

Highpass is horribly underrated, so you likely won't find many groups there.

One of the biggest things that people often overlook doing faction work is to zone or /log to reset the levels. i.e. you cannot jump multiple faction levels without doing one or the other to 'reset' each level. When faction farming I always make a point to zone out every 50 or so kills for just this reason.
