OT Outpost faction help

[murcielago200]

So I have a 59 iksar necro im trying to fix my OT faction with. I have no desire to go into VP(which is probably the easiest way to fix it). I farmed a bunch of sarnak war braids and I am trying to turn them into Captain Rottgrime(he is 55). Does anyone know if he is charmable or have any tips to turning these in?
I was talking to an enchanter and he said I need to use the 60 charm spell (ench or necro) and then I will be good. Has anyone tried this?

Should be pretty simple no? Train him outside of outpost, root him, FD, clear aggro of his cohort, stand up and charm him.

A Charmed NPC gives no faction hits when completing quests.

The only way you can fix your faction is killing mobs in VP, killing Kunark Dragons... Or being sneaky with that quest.

For what purpose do you want the faction? Cause you will literally need to farm 100s of war braids to become non-KoS as an Iksar. This is a lot of effort for a place to sell to vendor who rip you off and buy things at double the price.

The only thing you could do is enlist the help of a druid or ranger, have them snare Captain Rottgrime, Harmony him and zone.

When harmonied, you can get close enough to him to turn in war braids BUT you would need put the four braids in a trade window, Get IVU cast on you (so that he cons indifferent) then turn in the braids.

Probably doable with a cleric or enchanter Calming instead of Harmony, but would be tough to get to him unless someone pulls him out and snare him for you.

You would need to continually put four in trade window get IVU then turn in and repeat. It would get old really fast.

And after doing all that, never kill in Howling Stones or half the mobs in Karnor (less of a struggle for most, stupid Karnor). Is this all for an OT hammer or what? Since you can vendor in Cabilis and OT vendors are a terrible choice even if you have faction.

edit: As a necro you can probably do all the things that Daldaen suggested on your own, but it's still crazytown level effort.

Captain is pretty resistant but you could train him, root him, FD to blur, undead calm, and turn in I suppose. Forgot about rest the dead.

That being said -- if you just want an OT hammer charm the foreman like everyone else and turn in a jade. It's VERY easy as a Necro to get a hammer.

I already have OT hammer, thats easy mob to charm. Just felt like fixing faction. Sounds like its way too much work. Thanks for the input.

Hmmmm.. I have been to that zone (The Overthere) but I do NOT think that outpost is very good. Lots guys that are not helpful and just really not place that i like much but it is true that iksars need a friend but not outpost.

u can add me as friend if u want

Doesn't skelly form automatically make you apprehensive to everything at the outpost? Or does ruining your VS faction via HS for example even make skelly form KoS?

I've done braid turn-ins for xp in the early 40s and was able to get apprehensive via skelly form, would be good to know if you can ruin your faction even in skelly form since I like using OT as a bank lol.

**Note i'm an iksar necro and normally KoS at the outpost**

You can still use the outpost bank while kos. Duck against the wall and you can click the banker.

train him out, root him, pac him, put item on trade window and have somebody else ITU you before each turn in.
