Is it possible to raise merchants faction?

I am playing a shadowknight orge and I have been hunting gnolls in Blackburrows.

I have successfully raised the guards faction from "ready to attack" to "apprehensively", but the merchants faction remains at dubiously.

I used to be able to raise the merchants faction in the classic eq by hunting gnolls with a shadowknight, just wonders if it is a bug or merchants will never sell stuff to evil raise no matter what you do.

It's possible, you just get alot lower faction hits with merchants than you do with the guards.

Also Qeynos stinks for evulz due to the vast array of lvl60 NPCs that are on paladin/caster/monk/necro guild faction patrolling the city.

I see, thanks for reply, I thought they have very close faction hit for gnolls.

And yes, I hate the patrol, maybe I will go back to neriak or oggok then if this is the case.

Fangs and subsequent stones will eventually get you able to trade with merchants. Takes a bit but it will happen.

Those damn wandering wizzies will still kill ya though.

There's a merchant that spawns at night in WK behind the house that Misty Storyswapper spawns by. I don't know if she'll sell to ogres or not, but she sells to at least some evils. You can try selling there.

Coming from Qeynos Hills, right after you zone in to WK, look to the left and you should see some houses nearby. She spawns behind the first house you come to, on the side closest the zone wall. A good merchant is there during the day. I think the evil one is up 10 PM to 8 AM game time.
