HELP! How do I raise Bloodsaber faction? My own guild killed me!

[kevinciviced7]

Hey guys,

I have a level 17 Human Shadowknight based out of Qeynos and my deity is Bertoxxulous. I killed many a Gnoll in Blackburrow and turned in a bunch of gnoll fangs to Captain Tillin when leveling up. This lowered my faction with Corrupt Guards of Qeynos and so I kept getting attacked by them. I figured this was no big deal since they were mostly all green, so I just killed any corrupt guard that attacked me. However I didn't realize that doing so lowered my faction with Bloodsabers which is the faction for Bertoxxulous.

Now when I try to go down to the Qeynos Aqueducts to visit my guild, I'm KOS. I need to know how to raise my faction with Bloodsabers so I don't get killed by my own kind and so I can buy spells, etc.

I read over http://wiki.project1999.com/Bloodsabers and it mentioned a few zones you can raise your faction in, but it doesn't say how.

Can any of you help guide me to the best way to raise my Bloodsabers faction?

Thanks!

If you can, do the following in order...

http://wiki.project1999.com/Faren%27s_Tacklebox

http://wiki.project1999.com/Hurrieta%27s_Tunic_Quest

http://wiki.project1999.com/Bone_Chips_Qeynos (give 50g to novashine 2g at a time)

That should not only keep any factions you have now, but also raise the one you need.

Double check that... I'm hunting the same time as I'm typing this out. :P


Alternatively... you can kill this... http://wiki.project1999.com/A_koalindl and turn in 20gp to Novashine for every kill you do to counter the priest of life faction hit.

Eh your a SK don't worry about your Priest of Life faction.. They are your mortal enemies in Qyenos and as long as you stay away from the Temple of Life they won't bother you since Novashine the only person on Priests of Life faction that isn't in their little corner of Qyenos.

Your problem is unless you want to keep running through the sewers instead of the town to get to your guild you need to get your corrupted guard faction up which probably won't be that easy since I doubt your liked in Erudin or Highpass enough to do the scalps or inert potion.

If you don't care about going through the maze that is the sewer to get to your guild... I'd just do the first 2 quests Kreylyn mentioned although you'll have to do it so many times you'd go crazy otherwise kill Koalindls and risk getting killed alot my the Godfish and the guard pather

PS I do congrats you, you must have turn in a hell amount of gnoll fangs to get KOS to the corrupt guards cause if I remember Bert worishippers start at Indiff to the corrupt guards and I didn't think the faction hit to the corrupt guards from fangs were that bad

I have a human necro that started in Qeynos with the same problem only he turned in bandit sashes till KOS at the sewer temple. The easy fix was ..im still amiable in Freeport tunnels!

Thanks buddy. I killed one fish but then I got destroyed by the Cleric/Paladin NPC's.

So, I think I'm gonna try to do the quest and see if I can get some more faction that way.

Isn't the inert potion quest still fucked?

[Catashe]

Probably I think the last time I was in there, there was several quest guys stacked on top of each other but I admit that was AWHILE ago. But my point was he was a SK and I doubt he was liked in Erudin for it to matter especially when having to deal with Erudin's caster guilds

Here's an update.

I am able to do the Tacklebox and Tunic quest up until the point you're supposed to go to the Qeynos Aqueducts, since I'm KOS with Bloodsabers atm.

I'm just gonna keep doing that quest until I get enough good Bloodsaber faction to go back down there. I really don't care that my Corrupt Qeynos Guard faction is down because they're just annoying but not debilitating.

Anyway, I'll update the thread when I've made some progress

If you are interesting in getting your corrupted guard faction there is a mob you should be able to kill easily.. He isn't on the wiki simply because no ones gone through the Qyenos catacombs to collected all the mob info but there is the Exhausted guard at number 13 on the map http://www.allakabor.com/eqatlas/qeynoscatacombs.html Killing him gives negative good guard and merchant faction but that can be easily remedied if you got the money to do the Brandy quest here http://http://wiki.project1999.com/Rohand%27s_Brandy and there's always more gnolls to kill for good guard faction.

Just something to look at if you tired of dealing with the annoying corrupted guards when you are running through Qyenos

[Lictor]

High hold goblin ear turn in or something in high hold raises corrupt faction I think

[Kreylyn]

If you JUST worried about bloodsaber, get that up. That's the only one that would be difficult.

Once that is up, either corrupt or normal guards can be easily raised by just turning in 2gp to the right npc in the qeynos area.

Except Novashine doesn't raise the corrupted faction and I don't think there is another gold turn in that raises corrupted until the Badge of Honor quests are out. Also turning gold into Novashine lowers Bloodsabers anyway cause he is a Priest of Life

[kevinciviced7]

Update:

So I decided to check out the Freeport SK guild and as it turns out, they don't hate me! I dunno how that works but I'm glad cause I was able to get Double Attack when I leveled up to 20.

Sorry, didn't see this response before now...

It's 3gp, but yes, there is a gold turn in for corrupt.

http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Tattered_Pouch

Your Location is -345.80, 36.39, -13.27

Raz The Rat Misk looks your way apprehensively -- You could probably win this fight.

You say, 'Hail, Raz The Rat Misk'
Raz The Rat Misk says 'Spare 3 gold so I can get a decent meal for once, master?'
Give him 3 gold.
Raz The Rat Misk says 'Thank you, kind master. I don't wish to trouble you further but I do have another [favor] to ask..'
Your faction standing with Circle Of Unseen Hands got better.
Your faction standing with Merchants of Qeynos got worse.
Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards got better.
Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got worse.
Your faction standing with Kane Bayle got better.

You gain experience!!


Also... faction hits vary depending on the quest.

For example, doing the DF belt quests... gives you a +5 hit to the corrupt guards in FP and -1 hit to Truth. Since the positive hit is more than the negative, you can do quests that will raise one more than it lowers others. By alternating such quests, you can improve all factions.

Which is why my Ikky monk who started out KOS to all is now warmly with BOTH corrupt and regular guards in both qeynos and FP...

Sad part about that quest turn is I doubt it would work for him since Gnoll Fangs also reduce Circle of the Unseen Hand faction too and if a SK turned in enough fangs to go KOS to the corrupted guards... Its a good bet he went KOS to the rogue guild too..

Qyenos factions are soooo annoying to raise.. And since he apparently went to Freeport, he doesn't matter but still

It worked cause they are on a different Faction then the Qyenos evil guild.. Every city has its own factions well except the Human warrior guild. Both Qyenos and Freeport are Steel Warriors.

But don't give up on the bloodsabers! sure you can train in Freeport but lets face it... the Qyenos Necro/SK guild is 1000x cooler than Freeport! =)
