Default Shaman epic advice please

How would you guys recommend doing the shaman epic?

I have heard people doing it different ways. Doing a certain turn in over and over or going through he entire progression.

right now the quest is really pissing me off with faction issues, seems to be broke as fuck.

looks like i'm gonna need to re-do the first step over and over just to get opaque jem and start test of patience.

I have already obtaines envy/woe/marr, and all 6 pages from COM

Faction not broken, just takes forever when you're not potsbound. Still took me half a week via pots doing the faction quest to get it maxed (pegleg in bb)

The fastest way possible would be you, a Druid porter and binding in nfp.

so the quest was built purposely to have to charm quest npc's and re-do the same steps multiple times?

There is no need to charm anything for faction gains.

Kill pegleg in bb, macro the sentences you need to talk with the wolf and gate back to nfp to hand in the gem.

I think I did the hand in at least 100 times

There was no need for me to charm it.

The gimped starting faction for the quest was added in last patch. Not sure of they're taking it out but currently you need a charming class to charm the sentinel on order to get it started. Maybe charm animal works though due to it being a level 25 dog?

For me on blue it took like 70+ Bondl turn ins + quest line all the way up to black boots in order to max it. Unfortunately I out levelled most of com by the time I got it so it wasn't worth of, however, sub-10 page turn ins + Ghiosk might just be enough if you've done the quest line up to the boots. Com on red will be kind of a pain in the ass unless you're high 30s-low 40s. Anything above that gets raped from above. Beware.

There's also a faster way of corpsing the gems you receive from the wolf in NFP and rezzing into Eruds crossing but I think the spirit despawns after the quest speech (he used to hang around for 10 minutes or so before so you could get a ton of quest gems during that time).

Ymmv. Consult the class section of the forums - lots of good options there.

I've done it twice, and for your own sanity don't bother doing the pegleg/bondl shit like 80 times. Do the quest completely legit up through the black fur boots part. The next step is the report turn ins, if you're in your low to mid 50s you can make good exp in CoM while also getting reports to drop. If you can get a group, the reaver in the 1st house spawns Neh'Ashiir and the stuff he drops is a really nice faction hit...plus he can drop ORS and woodman's staff.

I did 2x Neh'Ashiir and like 7 or 8 report turn ins, plus the quest legit up through black dire.

There is also another much faster way to get faction that is actually part of the wizard epic (a lot of epics are on truespirit faction). It involves dying a lot though and putting the lore item rings on corpses. You'll end up losing like 1-2 levels but you'll be done factioning in a couple hours. Not sure on the complete details since I never bothered with it.
