Factions Worth Working On?

[Loadsamoney]

It varies by class. If you're a Paladin for instance, you must max out Priests of Life and Deepwater Knights, as they are mandatory for your Epic.

Highpass Guards is a good one to build for when you eventually go to High Keep. You'll probably tank it once you start killing guards, but it's easy to raise, just kill bandits in Karana or LFay.

Is there a benefit to raising Freeport Militia faction for any class?

Not being attacked by the guards if you're evil [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But isn't the Freeport Militia evil itself? I thought they were corrupt.

Heh, well "evil" in the "good race vs. evil race" sense.

The Freeport Militia might be "evil" in many senses, but they're "good" in the sense that they are KOS to "evil races" (Dark Elves, Iksar, Ogres, and Trolls) by default.

They may be corrupt, but they are still guards.

They have sympathies for followers of Innorruuk, but trolls and ogres are still monstrous, and often follow other unsavoury gods and professions, so are unlikely to get a pass without at least a little boot licking.

They don't like Deathfist orcs, bandits, gnolls, trolls, ogres, iksar, a select few dark elves, and Dervish Cutthroats. They're still a source of law and order. Kinda like the Lawful Evil to Lawful Neutral types. Or like the mobsters that don't like other bad men pissing in their neighborhoods. I like the pragmatism they represent. Plus the petty bickering in the quests between Lucan and the Dismal Rage makes me lol.

Plus in Everquest 2, Sir Lucan D'Lere is voiced by the late Christopher Lee, so that's rad.

MAX ally? As in, not just ally, but like "Your faction standing could not get any better"?

Is that even a message you can receive? I know there is one that says faction could not get any worse... lol

Why have you never maxed a faction? GO MAKE SOMEONE LOVE YOU.

So they're honest guards then, like the Knights of Truth, not corrupt. Got it.

They do their job enough. Morality isn't a zero-sum game. One does not have to be a Saint to also not be a rapist or murderer.
