Iksar Necro looking to raise faction in the old world
Iksar Necro looking to raise faction on the old continents. I don't want to spend my entire existence on Kunark...
I already read "An Iksar's Guide To Love and Friendship Through Murder" on the wiki. I really just want to be able to bank/sell and train/buy spells at a Necro trainer. From the guide, it sounds like the best options for this would be Freeport, Neriak, and/or Ak'anon. I kind of like the idea of having an option per continent. I want to do this as soon as possible (I really don't like Kunark). I'm totally fine with grinding out hundreds of kills, so that doesn't bother me. But what is the earliest level I can start? Any Iksar Necros out there who have done this have any tips? Thanks! | ||

Yo! Fellow Iksar Necro here. Though I can't go into the greatest detail, here are a couple of nuggets for you regarding the Qeynos area:
With zero faction work, you can bank and use trainers in the Qeynos Catacombs: https://wiki.project1999.com/Qeynos_Aqueducts You will at least need to be a high-enough level to cast invisibility. Keep invis up at all times in the catacombs until you reach trainers. In terms of accessing the catacombs, use the "secret entrance" in North Qeynos-- do *not* try to take the shortcut underneath the S. Qeynos arena as there is a Warrior there that can see invis and will wreck you. You can build faction by killing Gnolls in Blackburrow and later Bandits in the Karanas. There is a sweet vendor in West Karana I found that was willing to sell to me (conned indifferent) named Carlan the Young. He can be found at the small "village" in the NW corner of West Karana. Again, keep invis up as you are exploring. Will try to post more later! | ||

Hello again! Here's another tip:
As an Iksar, vending and (especially) banking in the old world will be a pain. Thus, having a bank option that is *right by a port* is super helpful. As an Iksar Necro, you have a "head start" on what is known as the Paineel faction grind. Namely, you will go to the Warrens and slay a ton of Kobolds until you can get a key to the evil city of Paineel. The city is right by the port to Toxx Forest and is a great place to bank and train as an evil class (once you get faction in order). There is plenty of information on the forums if you search for “paineel faction” or something similar. It took me perhaps 4-5 hours of Kobold slaying to get myself to amiable as an Ikky Necro—seemingly less of a faction grind than others, though I’m not sure. (our religion is what the “head start” is, I believe) Happy hunting! | ||

Paineel sounds interesting...can Iksar Necros buy spells there as well?
I was planning on making my way to Qeynos Aquaducts, maybe I'll do both. | ||

Once you have your faction, yes, you can buy spells and train in Paineel at the Necro trainer. Very convenient as it is just a "hop and skip" from the Tox Forest port.
Once you are a high-enough level to tackle the Warrens, I'd suggest spending a few levels there-- you will take care of your faction "in the background" whilst hunting | ||

If I remember correctly, you can get faction high enough in Freeport necro guild (tunnels under EFP) by turning in a whole 4 bone chips. Start off dubious, and she'll still take them from you at that faction level. You can then vendor, buy spells, train, etc. in Freeport. Can also bank in North FP using wall trick.

I'm currently level 9. I'll probably hit Kurns Tower until I'm at least 12 or 16.
Would that be a good time to find a port to Toxx? Or should I wait until a later level to grind faction? | ||

Necro banking
Lizard necro here as well.
Paineel is one of the easiest as it gives banking services as well. Freeport isn't bad just make sure to learn the tunnels. Once you hit 34 and have call of bones it makes things a bit easier as skellies are less hated than lizards in quite a few cities. I'm currently raising all factions possible in all cities. Most cities. Only a handful left to go then I'll be one of the most loved lizards. Good hunting -Necabe Froman | ||
