Getting to KC is not easy even with invis - when I went there, the guards outside were scowling at me, even though I was invisible.

Kurns, not KC.

Yeah, but they talked about getting to Kurns via EJ>FoB, which involves evacing from KC.

ah

Posted this recently in another thread:

Iksar faction can be gained by killing bandits/other outcast Iksar, and by doing the bone chips turn in quest in Field of Bone.

In order to actually do the turn in though, you would need a druid to wolf form you. It's a long road to get faction with Iksar. For vendor, the closest I can think of is an indifferent Iksar merchant in OT, by the pond just north of the WW zone line.

Anyway, I want to add that you shouldn't be discouraged simply by things being difficult or whatever. This is EQ. Explore! Do what you want.

Fastest way to get iksar faction as a non iksar is to reroll an enchanter and do the iksar illusion quest ;)

If you want to go there safest bet is to bind in Freeport and then use the evil boat to Overthere, then follow the coast to WW and then follow the WW coast to FoB. If the server has it, not sure if it's classic, you can bind in the ruins of Kaesora, but that's guarded by the lv 30ish ikky skellie.

Next would be Druid port to EJ plus invis while going cautiously keeping an eye out for skellies to aggro, but they have a tendency to hang around the staircase along the way, as do a lot of other mobs.

As for faction, it's only viable in the late 50s, if not at 60, by living in Seb and getting faction as you level there.

imo it would take way too long to get iksar faction, we hate outsiders :P

Another long option if you can't find anyone to escort you to KC and evac is to at least get levitate/invis/sow then run over DL to Frontier Mountains then to LOIO, then FV, Then swamp of no hope and finally into FOB. Not the best option by any means but I did it on my level 15 shaman the other day just fine.

Or you could just DL -> FV -> SoNH -> FoB. No need to go through FM and LOIO.
