Iksar shaman + necro bro's is how I started the server with a friend and it was very profitable.

I think he is referring to the wall trick. You can bank through the wall, even if you are KoS. Between that and OT hammer it is pretty convenient regardless of faction. You just need to invis over to the bank so you don't get attacked by the guards.

You basically right click one of the corners of the wall where the banker is on the other side and you can actually bank with them.

Ogre's aren't KoS in OT. You can just bank. Barbs are kos though... so I wouldn't choose barb for ease of passage.

Most characters regardless of starting faction end up being KoS in OT because a lot of higher level Kunark Zones reduce OT faction lol, like Karnor's Keep and Charasis. Both my Shaman and Shadowknight are now KoS because of that.

I think we were talking about starting faction due to race. Any faction you destroy you will be KoS to. That is a given.

My point is that OT faction is much easier to ruin than normal, so you shouldn't assume just because someone is evil that they have good OT faction.

OT hammer is the reason why OT is convenient. Unless you are heavily twinked there is a decent chance you will have ruined your OT faction by the time you get one.

Before you get an OT hammer there really isn't a convenient way to get to OT, and honestly it isn't hard to build up FV faction as an evil race, just kill goblins. Both my Shaman and SK can bank/buy/sell in FV hehe.

I guess I spend too much time in the 1-50 game running in classic world where faction matters. I just thought calling me a dumbass was a bit extreme. And yes, sticking to my original statement, there really isn't a HUGE difference between shaman races. I like not being kos everywhere.

Velious exists and thurg is a simple port away and everyone starts at dubious. Hope that helps.

You start at apprehensive, and yes it's a great spot for all races. You can't accidentally ruin your dwarf faction just by playing in velious, unlike OT and Kunark hehe.

Your thinking of Kael, where Rallok Zek characters start as dubious.

Key take away is that eqravenprince is banking in all the worst places and chooses his race based on that.

Real answer: it actually doesn’t really matter.

Some people like planning their character out. Nobody cares if you're someone who doesn't.
