Iksar Shaman, getting Heretics (Paineel) faction
 

Had no idea there was a CT symbol necklace until recently and was wondering how rough grinding out the faction would be for the Heretics for an Iksar shaman. I know there is the Warrens "aoe the zone" tactic but are there other options? I just need indifferent.

Is Paineel an outside city? Would wolf form work? Same deity but I'm sure the race thing is causing most of the faction issues. I read that skelly illusion works but unless an AoN drops outta the sky that ain't happening.

Or perhaps Ball of Golem Clay?

Well I just answered my own question, the info on the wiki for the key to the Hole says the Ball of Golem Clay gets you to indifferent.

The way I got my Heretic faction up on my SK for Hole key was I killed the guards in Erudite Palace. They give bigger hits per kill than the Warrens. Not sure if it is as fast as AoEing Warrens, but I don't remember it taking that long, and depending on your level you will still get experience. I think the guards are in their 30s. My SK was a troll though, so my starting faction wasn't as low as an Iksars.

I got to Amiable on my iksar monk in like 3 hours of erudin guard killing.

Well getting exp whilst faction would be a better route probably.. I need to check out the guard levels on the wiki.

If you know someone with an AON who is willing, you can borrow one and click it once.

Also, you can /duel a necromancer and have them use Ignite Bones or Chill Bones on you for an 18-second skeleton illusion.

Everyone should level in the warrens until the throne room area is mostly greened out for this very reason.
