Velious armor MQ

What level do you have to be to MQ this? The Wiki says 45 but is that just a recommended level or can my lvl 30 enchanter wear it?

lvl 1

so long as faction is correct (Kindly for Thurg, Ally rest)

Does your 30 Enchanter have the needed faction? I believe you can wear it you just cant cast. Not sure if this has been changed or not. The faction is the hard part for the lower levels unless you have some buddys to tag giants with.

Is there a guide to pros/cons of each faction and time to reach faction requirement?

No faction - I'm an unwashed casual! Haha. Quit during Kunark back in 2000 so this is al new.

Just go Dragon/Dwarf. If you're casual there's no reason to do Giant unless you really want to for RP reasons or something.

You can max Dwarf faction in 1-2 10th ring wars, just hang out in Great Divide or get a friend to watch the Sentry. Dragon takes about 6 hours of grinding in Wakening Land near Kael.

edit: You can tag for faction during the 10th ring war at level 30 with no problem. To grind faction in WL you'll need to be level 45+ or just tag off of the group that's already there.

Here's a quick and dirty guide.

Dwarf (Coldain) Faction: the armor sets are about equivalent to Plane of Growth armor. Kill giants with beards to raise Coldain. The quest pieces drop in Kael very plentifully, especially plate at the plate cycle house.

Dragon (Claws of Veeshan) Faction: Also very easy to raise in Kael. Maul stuff at the arena in Kael. Other options are in front of Kael in Wakening Lands, or kill misc Giants in Great Divide. The quest armor drops in East Temple of Veeshan, known more commonly as Halls of Testing (HoT) You'll need at least a small raid or a solid bank account. This armor set has more HP on most pieces.

Giant (Kromzek) Faction: kill all the dwarves and/or hunt in West Temple of Veeshan with a raid. These quest pieces drop in WToV or NToV and you'll need a raid or a solid bank account. This armor set generally has more AC on its pieces.

Most people just grind Kael and get ally to Dwarves and Dragons. The hardcore raid guilds are just KoS to everything / everyone. Only one guild that I'm aware of is on Giant faction, Divinity.

Just going to post this here since people seem unaware and seems like a good thread for a reminder. CSR staff does not support failed MQs, meaning if the wrong player receives the reward, we will not reimburse the quest items or transfer the reward to another player.

You can cast it as well. I had a level 30 Necro back on live with Thurg Robe. Was so nice having stacked coffins at level 30.
