Shaman Epic faction change with Vel?

[Apodacka]

So I was part of a group that did the final fight to get shaman epic and guildy had max faction (before vel) and even turned in the lord ghiosk books and then went and turned in his epic to the other spirit. He didn't receive his spear of fate. My question is, with the release of Vel do you need max ally faction now?

[suppresso]

you always needed MAX faction

[HalasHermit]

Yes if it doesn't say "you can't raise it any higher" or whatever the text is on the faction hit message, keep grinding.

[Nocsucow]

Which in velious they added a extra faction

[Apodacka]

Yes, this is what I thought.

I also read/heard that if you have max faction before Vel came out that you would be bumped up and continue to have max faction? I am testing this since I had max faction before and I will do part of the faction quest to confirm that I am still max faction.

so if I'm ally now, do I just keep going until it's maxed?

[Apodacka]

I would check to make sure you are max faction. I know now that you do have to be max ally faction with Vel. I am unsure if you had max before you have max now. An easy way to check your faction is to do one of the faction steps again, like turning in a tiny gem or turning in CoM books.

But yes, you do need to have MAX Faction! even in ally.

Keep going until you do a turn in and it says something along the lines of "Your faction with truspirit cannot be raised any higher".

Only then are you safe to complete the epic.

Good luck!

Has anyone completed the shm epic since the start of velious, and with which faction?

[Man0warr]

Just max it out, it's simple.
