Faction, Antonica
Orc Scalp Collecting
Highpass Hold
Captain Ashlan spawns in two different areas, both are in the pass itself not the keep. One is up the steps near the Kithicor Forest end above the orcs, the other is near the gnoll camp at the East Karana end, also above the pass. He tends to walk around a lot.
You say, 'Hail, Captain Ashlan'
- Captain Ashlan says 'Greetings, traveler! I am Captain Ashlan of the Highpass Guards. I keep watch over my men and the volunteers here at the East Gate. It's been a busy [job] here lately, with the [orc raids] and all.'
You say, 'What job?'
- Captain Ashlan says 'We're short-handed around here, as usual. Would you like to help us out with the [Volunteer Watch]?'
You say, `What Volunteer Watch?'
- Captain Ashlan says 'The Volunteer Watch guards the entry gates of Highpass. Since the [orc raids] are becoming more and more frequent, it's a busy job. But it can pay well, depending on how many [orcs] you slay.'
You say, 'What orcs?'
- Captain Ashlan says 'One of the orc clans of Kithicor Woods has been trying to expand their territory. Small orc raiding parties are frequently rushing the East Gate. Without the [Volunteer Watch] helping us out, Highpass would probably be overrun by those vile beasts.'
Turn in an Orc Scalp (you may turn in up to four at once).
- Captain Ashlan says 'Great work! Maybe you can help us out again sometime?'
- Your faction standing with Highpass Guards got better.(+2)

Inert Potion
Erudin Palace
Toresian Fhabel is at 727.01, 804.42, 35.13 in Erudin Palace. Requires amiable faction to start the quest.
You say, 'Hail, Toresian Fhabel'
- Toresian Fhabel says 'Welcome, my friend! We are the Craftkeepers. We study the circle of magic called enchantment. What circle do you [study]?'
You say, 'i will study enchantment'
- Toresian Fhabel says 'Then I welcome you into our circle. It is good to see new blood. I have a favor to ask of you. Do you wish to [assist Toresian] or do you not have the time?'
This spawns either Slansin or Slansin Denvin downstairs in the shop Vials of Vitality. Slansin is a merchant selling one item, a cloth cap. Slansin Denvin is not a merchant, is wearing armor, and is an enchanter who will summon an enchanter pet after spawning. Only one Slansin can be up a time.
You say, 'I wish to assist Toresian'
- Toresian Fhabel says 'Ahhhhh _____ . Slansin used to have need of these potions, how ever he mysteriously disappeared long ago. The only person I know of who still wants them is a cleric of the Church of Marr in Freeport.'
Receive Inert Potion.
Slansin
Give Slansin the Inert Potion.
- Slansin says 'Thank you. I have been expecting this. We require it for mixing.'
- Your faction standing with Heretics got better.
- Your faction standing with Craftkeepers got worse.
- Your faction standing with High Council of Erudin got worse.
- Your faction standing with High Guard of Erudin got worse.
You gain experience!!
Slansin then despawns. If you are after the other version, Slansin Devin, like most people are, you will need to repeat this step until he spawns. You can try again by saying 'I will study enchantment' to Toresian Fhabel. It took around 20 hands in and took a level 1 to a level 2 and 2 yellows before he spawned
Slansin Denvin
Works at dubious.
Give Slansin Denvin the Inert Potion.
- Slansin Denvin says 'Ha!! What a fool!! I have stolen another potion to add to the crate. I shall make a fortune!! The real Slansin is in back. Now it is time for me to leave.'
- Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground got better. +1
- Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk got better. +1
- Your faction standing with Carson McCabe got better. +1
- Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards got better. +1
- Your faction standing with Freeport Militia got better. +1
Slansin Denvin does not despawn right away, meaning you can now repeat this part of the quest until he does. He stays up for at least 20 minutes.
Tips
You can actually trigger Toresian from the bottom floor to get the potion with hotkeys if you stand in the right spot. Go into Erudin City Office to the right wall (there is a bench there). Toresian is above at (727, 805). Make hotkey macro with the following lines:
/target Toresian_Fhabel /say I wish to assist Toresian
Then just go straight across to Vials of Vitality, where Slansin is.

You say, 'I have time.'
- Toala Nehron says, 'I have a friend by the name of [Lenka Stoutheart]. She reported to me that her ship was broken into and someone stole a pouch of hers. Could you go look into it for me? Just tell her Toala sent you. Oh, and pay no mind to the walking mountain by her. That will only be Bronto, her navigator. Thanks, friend.'
You say, 'who is Lenka Stoutheart?'
- Toala Nehron says, 'Lenka Stoutheart is an old friend of mine. I trained with her in my younger days when the Steel Warriors sent me to train in the ways of the Wolves of the North, the barbarian warriors of Halas. She is now an adventurer of great sorts. She travels from continent to continent aboard the Blue Beast, her ship. The Last time I had heard from her she was docked in East Karana.'
Find Lenka Stoutheart and Bronto Thudfoot at the Seafarer's Roost dockside tavern in East Freeport during the daytime only.
You say, 'Hail, Lenka Stoutheart'
- Lenka Stoutheart says 'Hi, kid! You seem to be a stranger in these parts. Heed my words, this city is dangerous to new blood!'
- Bronto Thudfoot says 'You said it, boss! Stay clear of taking sides and you should be just fine, young one .'
You say, 'Toala sent me'
- Lenka Stoutheart says 'She does not even have the courtesy to come herself. Some old friend!! Listen, some rogue in this city broke into the [Beast] and stole a pouch containing a voucher ticket for a part I need to repair the Beast. I can't get the part back without the ticket. I did not see the rogue. I did not sleep on the Beast that night. Bronto was there. Ask him if he saw the rogue.'
You say, 'What is the Beast?'
- Lenka Stoutheart says 'You're joking, right? You have never heard of the Blue Beast?!! She is the fastest ship in Norrath. She made the [Kunark run] in under three weeks. She was designed by [Bronto].'
You say, 'What Kunark run?'
- Lenka Stoutheart says 'The Kunark run is the most dangerous run between Freeport and [Firiona Vie], in Kunark. If the seas don't rip your hull to splinters and the pirates and sea wyrms don't kill you, you can make a quick run back and forth, avoiding any unwanted inspections.'
You say, 'What about Firiona Vie?'
- Lenka Stoutheart says 'Firiona Vie is an elven outpost on the continent of Kunark. Every so often I run supplies to and from there. Do not even think about asking me to take you there. It will be months before I can make improvements on the Blue Beast to make it impervious to aerial attacks.'
You say, 'Hail, Bronto Thudfoot'.
You say, 'Did you see the rogue?'
- Bronto Thudfoot says 'I had quite a bit of grog that night and it was very dark. What I do remember was seeing a tall woman in a dress run from the docks. She sort of smelled, too. Like fish. I know it was the docks, but this woman had a real stench to her. Like dried fish baking in the sun. That is all I remember. It was too dark to see anything but her [silhouette].'
You say, 'Her silhouette?'
- Bronto Thudfoot says 'Yeah!! The silhouette looked like a very brawny woman. It had to be a woman. The silhouette was surely that of one with a short skirt and long hair.'
Find Brunar Rankin under the docks right next to Seafarer's Roost
You say, 'Hail, Brunar Rankin'
- Brunar Rankin says 'How are you? Please excuse my stench. I fish all day and night just to feed my large family. You look like an adventurer. That must be exciting. I am but a humble fisherman. Maybe someday we shall both be rich. You by your treasures and me by my catch.'
You say, 'What did you steal from Lenka?'
- Brunar Rankin says 'How dare you accuse me of being a thief!? I labor hour after hour trying to catch one fish which will bring me one copper piece to buy one slice of bread which I will split into five pieces to feed me, my sick wife and three little children, one of whom has the plague!! Poor little Repi. Now please, leave this humble little fisherman alone!'
If you stay with Brunar he eventually goes up into the Seafarers Roost and gives his 'Catch" to Gregor the bartender. If asked about Brunar, Gregor hints that he steals for him. Gregor says he will put the catch down in the storeroom, which by the way leads down to the Thieves guild.
L.S. Pouch
The L.S. Pouch is a groundspawn in the basement of the Seafarer's Roost behind the crates and boxes is a discolored 'Fake' wall that you can walk through which leads into the Evil underground guilds.
Go down the steps, open the first door and the L.S. Pouch should be on the ground to your right. (It looks like a 'Large' bag but is actually a small item and not a container so you can place inside your own bag)
Return to Lenka Stoutheart and hand her the L.S. Pouch
- Lenka Stoutheart says, 'You found my pouch ! Thanks kid. Let me buy you a drink and this is for the good work. Hmmmm. It looks as though they took my voucher. Darn it ! Hey . . . It looks like they were using my bag to hold items they were stealing. Here you go. You can have it. It looks like junk.

You say, 'Where do I get troll guts?'

Trouble is, trolls are scarce around these parts, thank the gods, but Fabian breaks his strings as fast as I find suppliers.

Anyhow, if you find one out in the Karanas, bring me his gut and I can make the strings to take to Fabian.'

Muffins can be bought in West Freeport from Pincia Brownloe (-276, -698).
Note: If Lady Shae is not KoS to you, then it is possible to do this quest at any faction with Pandos as long as you have the ability to go invisible or hide. Cast invisbility and make your way into Lady Shaes' room. If you stand in the corner of Lady Shaes' room at Loc (-206.42, -507.30, -10.87), Pandos will not aggro you no matter what level you are. By opening the door, you can then hand him 1 muffin. The give box will then come up, and the door can close but you will still be able to put more muffins into the slots. Once all four slots have been filled with muffins, you can then cast invisibility on yourself, or activate the hide ability. Con Pandos, and make sure that he is indifferent to you. When he is, press the give button.
If you make the mistake of moving from the corner, Pandos will most likely attack you. Be careful, and happy factioning!

I hate him. I will never trust another human again. After all that, he goes and asks me to hold on to this list for him. Well I am glad it was taken from me by that [Dyllin].

Bottle of Red Wine
Neriak 3rd Gate
Must be Apprehensive to Dark Bargainers
Find Lokar To`Biath in the library of the 3rd Gate at +895, -1245. Responded to hails as an indifferent agnostic DE enchanter.
You say, 'Hail, Lokar To`Biath.'
- Lokar To`Biath says, 'I am the Scribe of Innoruuk. If you do not have business with me, begone!'
You say, 'Are you a Scribe of Dal?'
- Lokar To`Biath says 'The Scribes of Dal? All of them are long since [dead].. or at least most would say that.'
You say, 'Why are they Dead?'
- Lokar To`Biath says 'Perhaps, perhaps not. I cannot remember, but perhaps Innoruuk would help me remember should you tithe him a bottle of red wine from the Blind Fish.'
Give him a Red Wine (up to 4 unstacked). It can be from anywhere, not just the Blind Fish. The nearest bar might be the Cuisine Excelsior, which is also conveniently devoid of hostile patrons.
- Lokar To`Biath says 'Ah, yes, let me pray to our god.. Yes, Innoruuk has given me wisdom. A Scribe of Dal still exists, disguised as a barkeep in the Blind Fish. This information will not help you though, for she has sworn a [vow] of silence and will not speak of the Dal.'

Note: This is one of the best quests to gain faction with the Dark Bargainers (Neriak Residents) and with Dreadguard Outer and Dreadguard Inner as it boosts the factions without giving you faction loss with anyone else. 151 turn-ins will take an Iksar Necromancer or Shadow Knight from scowling to dubious with the Neriak guards. It took between 401 and 460 turn-ins to get an Iksar Monk to dubious, without any other faction work. The experience reward is roughly 1/40th of a blue bubble at level 3, so the experience benefits quickly diminish.
It took 900 turn ins to get a Tunare worshipping wood-elf ranger to dubious with the inner guards.
Meanwhile, 540 hand-ins was still not enough to take a wood-elf rogue to dubious with the guards even long after the citizens started to con warmly; it was about 700 turn-ins until the guards stopped wanting to murder her. Dark elves much really hate their woodland cousins...
26 turn ins brought Lokar To`Biath (the quest giver) from the bottom of Kindly to the bottom of Warmly, indicating that the quest likely gives +10 Dark Bargainers faction per turn in.
Note: With Velious the spell Form of the Great Bear allows shamans to do this quest or at least talk to him for turn-ins , If shamans try for this watch out for the clerics and shadow knights they will want to murder you. I started as warmly from a barbarian shaman so try this idea if you're into faction quest. Pexar Spiritweaver 3/22/16

Orc Vest
The merchant Linadian is located at -142, -545, 161 in Kelethin, two platforms over from the Scouts of Tunare (Rogue) Guild - alternatively - in West Freeport at loc (56, -299). A certain faction level, presumably with Faydarks Champions, is required for this quest in either case. Dubious is not high enough.
You say, 'Hail, Linadian'
- Linadian says, 'Greetings! Please look through my fine wares. I have spent my whole life practicing my skills in tailoring. I do my best to compete with the other local merchants, but I have yet to make a profit. I pray to Tunare that my [banded orc vests] will finally bring me a few extra coins.'
If your faction is insufficient (dubious is not high enough.)
You say, 'What banded orc vests'
- Linadian says, 'Your ways are considered vile to Faydark's Champions. Leave before my rage overcomes my restraint.'
If your faction is sufficient:
You say, 'What banded orc vests'
- Linadian says, 'Glad you are interested. I can create a leather vest I call a banded orc vest. It will aid you in repelling any disease and offers quite a bit of protection in battle. I will need some materials. For a Deathfist banded orc vest, I require two legionnaire pads worn by the clan Deathfist, one Deathfist slashed belt, and ten gold coins. For a Crushbone banded orc vest, I require two legionnaire pads worn by the Clan Crushbone, one Crushbone belt, and ten gold coins.'
NOTE: On 4/25/20 on green server in West Freeport, the text did not include the silk swatch and I was able to do the hand-in successfully without this. Maybe that's coming in a future patch?? - jhod
NOTE 2: As of 17/09/21 This quest has been fixed (pending update) to require only gold coins for both DF/CB, not the silk swatch, as this was a Luclin change. Also, CB/DF Lego pads will not have distinctive names until Dec2000, so watch out. - Dolalin
Hand Linadian 2 Crushbone Shoulderpads, a Crushbone Belt, and 10 gold pieces - alternatively - 2 Deathfist Shoulderpads, a Deathfist Slashed Belt, and 10 gold pieces.
- Linadian says. 'Grand doing business with you. Hold your nose. I can never get rid of the orc stench of the vests. That is why the other merchants do not pay me much for them.'

Muffin for Pandos
Muffins can be bought in West Freeport from Pincia Brownloe (-276, -698).
Note: If Lady Shae is not KoS to you, then it is possible to do this quest at any faction with Pandos as long as you have the ability to go invisible or hide. Cast invisbility and make your way into Lady Shaes' room. If you stand in the corner of Lady Shaes' room at Loc (-206.42, -507.30, -10.87), Pandos will not aggro you no matter what level you are. By opening the door, you can then hand him 1 muffin. The give box will then come up, and the door can close but you will still be able to put more muffins into the slots. Once all four slots have been filled with muffins, you can then cast invisibility on yourself, or activate the hide ability. Con Pandos, and make sure that he is indifferent to you. When he is, press the give button.
If you make the mistake of moving from the corner, Pandos will most likely attack you. Be careful, and happy factioning!
Pandos Flintside may be found at +100, -615 in the Hogcaller's Inn.
You say, 'Hail, Pandos Flintside'
Pandos Flintside says 'Greetings! Please move along. I am not paid to converse with strangers... unless of course you have a muffin or two..?'
Give him a Muffin.
Pandos Flintside says 'Mmmm. This smells delicious. Oh great!! No milk!! Don't you have any sense?! Just tell me the name of the bakery and I will run and get it myself. I am sure Lady Shae will be safe.'

Faction, Bards
Going Postal
This quest covers every town in Norrath, as well as some non-town areas. The reward varies (at whim) between 1gp and 15gp, with values in the middle more usual. With a couple of deliveries, low-level characters could get a few platinum easily. Bards with Selo's Accelerando are really in good shape, as some of these routes can be done in only a few minutes.
The quest is sponsored by the League of Antonican Bards. Faction hits are...

Note: if you are delivering several packages at once, make sure to hand them in one at a time, otherwise you will only get credit for one of them.
Faction, Kunark
Cabilis Faction
Cabilis contains six main faction groups:
- Brood of Kotiz (Necromancers)
- Legion of Cabilis (Warriors/Troopers)
- Cabilis Residents (Merchants/Bankers)
- Crusaders of Greenmist (Shadowknights/Crusaders)
- Swift Tails (Monks)
- Scaled Mystics (Shamans)
NOTE: In original classic, once your faction was capped with Iksar Troopers, you were unable to raise it with anywhere else in Cabilis as they all became capped (even if you were at scowling). I'm not sure if it is this way currently on P99, but please be aware of the possibility. It was later fixed on live.
Pre-Emptive Step: Get an Overthere Hammer, as later stages will involve trashing Venril Sathir faction. So, go to The Overthere, and kill 80+ sarnak berserkers (lvl 29-33) to collect sarnak war braids to hand in to Captain Rottgrime. The best camp spot, if you don’t have a tracker, is the couple of buildings at the south of the zone, north of the Frontier Mountains zone line; a number of static spawns and wanderers. Berzerkers seem to be on the general sarnak spawn table.
As soon as you hit amiable, go to the undead foreman, just south of the ships, and hand him a jade (only one required, although he talks about “filling [his] eyesockets”. Bingo.
Step 1: Mass Slaughter
Outcast Iksar in Warsliks Wood - Iksar Bandits(lvl 9-10), Marauders (warrior, lvl 14-16), Manslayers (lvl 17-19), Pariahs (lvl 19-23), Exiles (lvl 23-26). There are six Exiles in a group in the SW corner of the zone next to a lake that are relatively easy to find. This seems to be the only way to raise Brood of Kotiz faction, and also raises Legion of Cabilis
SKs need to be non-KoS with necros; necromancers interested in doing the skullcap quest need to reach amiable with Brood of Kotiz. 150 – 200 iksar kills will allegedly take you to glowers with necros. There are several camps of low level iksar outcasts that you can use for this: the caves in Warsliks Woods, before the zone to LOIO; several camps of three in huts in WW; and the camp of four NE of the explorer tower in LOIO. The cave in Field of Bone is on a very slow respawn timer, so I don’t recommend there. The caves in WW have 12 – 15 spawns on a 16 minute timer, but you need to pay full attention for 4-6 minutes to kill them all. The hut SE of the zone to The Overthere has the advantage that you can let him do most of the killing; overnight here should be enough for faction.
Goblins in Warsliks Wood – These give faction for the Legion of Cabilis and for the Inhabitants of Firiona Vie. Good to raise this faction if you think you'll end up getting KoS to Venril Sathir eventually as you will be unable to return to the outpost in The Overthere.
There are many level ranges of these. A Goblin Thief (lvl 2), A Goblin Scout (lvl 2-4), A Goblin Watcher (lvl 3-5), A Goblin Outrider (lvl 5-6), A Goblin Hextracer (lvl 7-8), A Goblin Hunter (lvl 8-10), A Goblin Bonecaster (lvl 10-12), A Goblin Skirmisher (lvl 11-13), A Goblin Witchdoctor (lvl 13-15), A Goblin Battlemaster (lvl 14-16), A Goblin Bloodtracer (lvl 16-18), A Goblin Aggressor (lvl 17-19), A Goblin Pit Fighter (lvl 19-21), A Goblin Soothsayer (lvl 19-21), A Goblin Warrior (lvl 20-22), A Goblin Coward (lvl 20-23), Goblin Warlord (lvl 24), A Goblin Messenger (lvl 38), A Frantic Goblin (lvl 40), A Shady Goblin (lvl 40).
The lower level goblins are closer to the West Cabilis and Field of Bone entrances, while the higher level ones are in forts in the center of the zone. See the map for details.
Alternate Step 1: Item Turn-In Quests
If you can, the fastest way to get Legion faction is to collect weapons in Veksar (lvl 55+) and hand them in the the NPC in Lake of Ill Omen until you reach dubious with the Legion. I haven’t done this, but I believe roughly 10 or more hand ins (40 weapons) will be required. If you kill explorers until you have 6 stacks of knives, you should have high enough legion faction to hand in.
The next best is the explorer knives quest; you will need roughly 6 stacks of these to max your faction. (Note: This is Velious era content not yet added on P99.) 4 – 5 stacks will be required to reach non-KoS with other factions; another 4 – 5 stacks if you need to become warmly or better. The explorers are in Lake of Ill Omen, between the Warsliks Woods and Cabilis zones. NOTE: This will bring down your Fironia Vie faction!
Step 2: Bring Out Yer Dead!
Hand in bone chips in vast numbers to Trooper Mozo in Field of Bone until you are non-KoS to merchants, shamans, etc. This is slower than the explorer knives, but without the FV faction hits. Note that the wandering crusaders in the area (Quarg and Bhodli) are on different factions. One is on Crusaders and the other is on Scaled Mystics.
Once you reach dubious to Iksar troopers head over to Kurn's Tower in Field of Bone or any other spot where you can get a LOT of bonechips (this will take many bags of bonechips). Kurn's Tower is the most convenient place because of its location.
There are two ways to do the turn-in:
- Option 1 is to quickly feed as many stacks of 4 bonechips(remember 4 stacks at a time) to Trooper Mozo in the 4-6 minute window and retreat before the Crusaders go on patrol, however this makes it difficult and the Crusaders might not even leave and return in sync making it even harder.
- Option 2 is to stand behind Trooper Mozo in the corner by that lamp thing right up against the wall. SLOWLY take tiny steps forward until you are able to hand Trooper Mozo the stacks of bonechips(you're not close enough if you're right in the corner behind the lamp).
You should be able to give as many stacks as you want from this location WHILE the Crusaders walk past.. this is the method I used.. it was quite unnerving to have some red at level 48 shadowknight go walking past you repeatedly at that distance without turning me into a bloodstain on the ground, but it MUCH easier to give lots of bonechips without interruption.
Chardok Faction
It is possible to become non-kos with Chardok's Sarnak faction, Brood of Di`Zok, by killing hundreds of goblins in the Temple of Droga. This is useful for pulling (especially in AoE groups) and corpse retrieval.
Faction, Velious
First here are the general bonuses of each faction.
Coldain = Thurgadin is a great utility city, Coldain Ring Quests and Coldain Shawl Quests. Armor is sub par in comparison to the others.
CoV = HoT quest capable. Most HoT Quest items are on par if not better than many NToV drops. Armor is on par with Kael gear, generally has better resists but lower AC.
Kael = Kael armor is about the best there is in game aside from NToV drops, which you will be able to farm without faction worries. Dain Heads and Yelink Heads to Tormax generally result in the best rewards.
- Coldain Faction = Easy, by killing Kromrif Giants to raise Coldain.
- CoV Faction = Easy, by killing Kromzek Giants will raise CoV faction.
- Kael = Moderate, Kill CoV mobs to raise Kromzek, and Coldain mobs to raise Kromrif. Kill boss mobs in those zones to raise Tormax faction.
Coldain and CoV at the same time: Easy, killing giants of all types will eventually get you the faction for both. This is probably where most of CT is sitting right now. You have access to the SS quest armor, HoT quests, Kael mob drops, and Coldain Ring/Shawl quest as well as the utility of both cities.
Coldain and Kael at the same time: Difficult, steps below on how to do this. End result is that you have access to NToV drops, Kael Quest Armor, Coldain Ring and Shawl quests, utility of both cities, Skyshrine and WW drops.
Steps:
- 1. Kill Giants till your max ally with Coldain.
- 2. Kill CoV stuff till your dubious with Kromzek.
- 3. Kill Coldain till your dubious with Kromrif.
- 4. Save all Dwarf heads you find while killing coldain.
- 5. Turn in dwarf heads to max out both giant factions and Tormax faction. Buy extra dwarf heads if you need to, however, they are quite hard to find on the open market.
- Now you should be max kos to CoV, max ally or close to it for Kael, and hopefully not max kos to Coldain.
- 6. Kill giants to get Coldain back up to where you want it. But, don't let yourself drop below Ally to giants. Turn in more Coldain heads that you have saved or have bought to keep repairing Kael faction so you can continue to raise Coldain faction and still keep yourself at the faction level you need for the Kael quests.
- 7. Get extra Tormax faction by killing Velketor the Sorcerer.
- It may be quite difficult to get ally to both at the same time, but if you can keep yourself with a decent supply of dwarf heads, it should be possibl to stay near the top of each faction and just edge into ally for whatever quest you need to complete. The goal here really is just to keep yourself non kos with Coldain so you can use the city.
CoV and Kael Faction at the same time: Hard, this is probably the most difficult set of factions to max, aside from the CoV+Kael+Coldain. The down side of even attempting to do this is that you will be out of luck when it comes to most raids or high end quests. Its just not worth it. However, it can be done.
- 1. Max CoV faction by killing giants.
- 2. Kill Coldain for heads and Kael faction.
- 3. Kill Dain as much as possible.
- 4. Turn in heads but don't let yourself go below ally with CoV.
- 5. Kill Velketor the sorcerer for Kael hits.
Its possible to even get non kos to all 3. Ive herd of one person that is Ally to CoV, Ally to Kael, and currently up to amiable with Coldain. All he pretty much does is faction stuff these days. This is a great option for a 100% raid based Magician, since most magicians are generally the CotH people and during raids their function is mod rod creation to keep clerics healing and wizards nuking. Sorry mages, its just how things go.
If you can sneak you may be able to get this faction work done much easier, as most of the time you can just sneak to get to indiffierent, stand behind the quest giver, and trade the item. Captain Belvos, however, is in a difficult spot to perform this feat, and may require someone thats not kos to kael to chain cast invis on you throughout the trade, or you may be forced to bolt for the zone.
