Troll trying to get High Pass faction

[ShampooChicken]

I'm seeing a lot of info on the wiki about things I can kill to raise faction with High Pass. How accurate is the faction info there? It says that the orcs/gnolls within High Pass give 2 points, and the highwaymen/gnolls/raiders in Karana give 10. Where do these numbers come from, as I don't know of a way to see the exact raise in game? Or is it just an estimate?

Anyone have an efficient suggestion for High Pass faction that I can do solo as a 22 Troll?

Most wiki information about faction hits are wrong sadly, and I have no idea if the current values are correct for the monsters you are talking about. From my understanding, the majority of monsters only give 1 or 2 faction per kill, which is why that is typically the slowest way to go.

Some monsters are well documented at giving more faction per kill (such as Velious City Leaders), but those mobs are easy to document since they are killed so often, and it is easy to see the large jump in faction.

As a Troll I wouldn't worry about raising faction in good cities, especially Highpass, where you don't need to buy any spells for Shadowknight/Shaman. With a bit more game knowledge evil races can find enough places to vendor. I mostly play a Troll or Ogre, and I have little issue with vendoring, banking, etc.

If you are dead set on improving your faction, I believe https://wiki.project1999.com/Orc_Scalp_Collecting is the way to go for highpass. But since I assume you are still KoS, you will probably need to ask a druid to wolf form you first before doing the quest turn in.

Thanks for the info, that will save me some wild goose chases. It's mostly for fun and novelty that I want to raise it.

You're a 22 troll what? Are you a shaman and do you worship Innoruuk? If so, you can get yourself the halfling illusion mask (skinned halfling face mask) from the Innoruuk symbol questline to help you do turnins without a wolf form, and hand in orc and gnoll scalps.

But the faction hit values you find on the wiki are unreliable, as they are 90% cut and pasted from zam, and don't accurately apply to p99. For instance, I killed a TON of the named Shralok orcs in Kithicor and can tell you with 99% certainty they are NOT the 10 or so points the wiki said they would be.

Anyway, if what you're after is the most improvement you can get for highpass without damaging any other factions, your top choices are going to be Karana bandits, Mucktail gnolls (EK or Highpass), and Shralok orcs (Highpass and Kithicor Forest).. The side benefit of the Shraloks (which will be tough solo at 22) is that you'll raise Kithicor Residents which applies to a couple of the WC druid ring npcs.

Good luck!

update: looks like someone has updated the wiki a bit as those kithicor orcs now show a <3 number instead of the 10 I remember from months ago.

Yep, 18 hours so far killing the gnolls and still at scowling faction [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So they are definitely 1 point.

Most standard mobs are going to hive 1 point faction from killing. I'm not sure where some of these numbers come from as alakazaham has much more reliable numbers even for out of era.

As others have mentioned you probably don't want to waste your time worrying about this faction. It's not really necessary for everyone except maybe rogues. In fact many good races trade their amiable faction in for scowling by choosing to level on guards in highkeep.

[ShampooChicken]

Now at threateningly after 21 hours. If each gnoll is 1 point, that's about 45 gnolls per hour to get the 950 or so points and that seems about right. Went through 2 stacks of standard food/drink and had people vendor/bank for me 3 times. Made 200p and 2 levels of experience. Should be about 7 more hours until dubious. Then I can turn in the scalps [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sounds like you are making great progress, keep it up!

[Castle2.0]

I can respect the faction hustle. If you're this committed, you may as well max Rivervale faction. It's the easiest city (guards / merchants) to max in the game.

Might be able to buy/sell there and it's close to Kithicor.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Bandages_for_Honeybugger

I think its like 10-16 backpacks from KoS to get maxed.

Once maxed you can get an instantly rechargeable instant heal ring. See Manadance in my signature to see what I mean.
