Iksar Faction in Freeport - how to raise it?

[Lhancelot]

I am hoping Aalderon and other faction masters can add to the ways to raise this faction.

Yes, I know I can bank in Freeport, and I know I can invis wall the bank, or FD etc. But, as an Iksar necro i want to raise my faction via quests to be able to legit bank and sell in Freeport. I want the humans to love me! I killed orcs incessantly for 3+ days, and I finally can walk by the militia they are dubious to me... But, the vendors STILL are dubious too, I want to buy and sell with them.

Can some people please give some ideas what quests will raise this faction in Freeport?

Also, I don't want to damage the "evil" factions in tunnels, so I am looking for ways to improve all the factions in Freeport, not just one or another.

P.S. Aalderon, I know you gave me some ideas earlier in the game, I can't remember it all tbh. So, I am asking here that way if you respond, it will be easier to keep track, the info I mean. Plus, I am at a point where I can move in FP a little easier etc. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Turn in brandy in qeynos

10 stacks or so should do it

Edit: I have no idea if this harms evil factions there

ok. will look it up for more detail. Just wondering if my iksar can get in to the npc and turn in. I am only 17 lvl now. Don't have skellie form yet etc.

Wrecks circle of unseen hands (Qeynos rogues)

My current path:
* Killed tons of deathfist orcs for NFP paladins + monk guild faction
* Rat ears to Rephas in Qeynos Hills for FP caster guild faction if you can sneak turn-in or something similar (wolf form?) (lowers militia, but positive hits to caster guild are greater)
* Still turning in scalps in highpass for militia, but faster way is to get wolf form and turn in deathfist slashed belts (lowers NFP faction - just kill more orcs)
* Rebby's whiskers for coalition of tradefolk + illegal (bankers)(although the orc picks clearly work better)
* edit, forgot this one - turn in 2gp to Fabien in wolf form to reach non-KoS with Antonican bards

Not sure on FP cleric guild at the moment

Rebby's whiskers is a looooong time investment, tried it on my red RZ bard...went 2 hours or so running back and forth with no faction tier gain. If you've got patience try and see how long it takes ^^

This is more or less what I did with Grallos, minus the rat ears. Kill deathfist orcs, turn in scalps in highpass, do rebby's whisker quest over and over.

I also camped Mojax Hixspin for Freeport Militia faction before I started grinding orcs for the Knights of Truth, but I don't recommend this because it's long and boring and makes repairing that faction more difficult later on. Just do the scalp thing in Highpass.

For the bards, just go to Mistmoore in your 20s or 30s and don't leave until bards are apprehensive (this doesn't take very long). No need to do any quests.

Never did repair my faction with the clerics or the casters, but neither of those is necessary to have access to 90+% of Freeport along with most of the vendors. I can bank and sell without mishap in any of the Freeport zones, including the bottom tunnels, and that's enough for me.

Wohoo! I just started killing pawns and grabbing orc pawn picks I read that Hallard will take 4 of them and give good faction hits for the vendors for them... and, checked with a vendor and i am apprehensive! Weird thing is, one vendor in same Inn still glowers at me, lol. Rest of them are apprehensive so i can sell/buy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you are raising militia faction with turn-ins you are lowering NFP paladin faction. I think the only time you raise both is when you kill the orcs but if you proceed to doing WFP turn ins it will lower your NFP guard faction. Also, none of that helps your Antonican Bard faction which is a big part of NFP (and many other NPCs around the world). I think you need to decide which is more important..NFP guards or militia (I don't think you can have both unless you just kill an ungodly amount of Orcs (with no turn ins).

I did a bunch of belt turn ins (like 70-80?) which raised my merchant faction and militia faction to non-KOS. I then tagged Lucan when he was being killed which put me instantly at apprehensive with NFP guards but back to KOS with militia (merchants unchanged). I then went to EFP tavern where you can find a bard who accepts 2gp "tip" and this raises your Antonican Bard/NFP guard faction (had a druid guildie pull to zoneline and used sneak to do turn ins). I turned in 70p to him 2gp at a time (yes it's a PITA). After doing those turn ins I was amiable with NFP guards and went from KOS to apprehensive with Antonican Bards. That basically gave me free reign in NFP (except bankers who are on a different faction so I still have to wall bank).

If I was doing this again I would change the order of what I did and do the bard turn-ins before tagging Lucan to make things easier. Hope that helps.

Yes, i had a lowbie necro and tagged Lucan when I seen him getting killed, instantly realized that was a mistake because my militia faction was wrecked. Aalderon told me that building NFP guards is easier than militia, so I deleted that toon and remade an iksar, and since then just been building militia and tradesfolk with pawn picks. I turned in a lot of belts too, but I will worry about NFP guards once i get my vendor faction up and militia faction up too. That's the route i thought to take anyway. Bard, and caster guilds I haven't even begun to figure that part out yet. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Use the bard in EFP tavern. It's a serious PITA turning in 2gp at a time but it does raise both bard and NFP guard faction with no negative faction hit (pretty sure). Aside from killing Orcs I don't know of another way to raise NFP guard faction without also lowering militia faction.
