How much work for iksar monk to train in fp
 

So I have an iksar monk that I would prefer to keep close to ec and explore old world content. How difficult is it to be able to train with the monks in freeport?

Iksar Monks, from my experience, are dubious to the Monk guild in Freeport. This allows you to walk into the guild unharmed, granted you make it past the 140-150 hitting guards at the gate! However, you'll need to sneak to be able to train with the guild masters there without any serious faction work.

You'll definitely need to kill a few hundred level 5-16 orcs in EC and WC. My monk is 21 and kills most of them pretty quick like... but hours and hours of killing orcs and I'm still KoS.

The way to do it is to get a few bags full of DF belts, like 40 or so belts, and turn them into whomever it is that takes them in wfp. This will require wolf form to do.

This also obliterates your faction with North Freeport, just something to keep in mind if you were looking to bank there instead of Neriak.

This is only the case if you turn the belts into Captain Hazran, not Cain Darkmoore.

I brought my Iksar over to the mainland around level 12, mainly due to my addiction to the Oasis of Marr. With the right resources (other characters with money around Freeport) or friends, you can easily grab a couple of Cloudy Potions from the herb shop near the Monk guild. This will allow you to move freely past the guards for the few trips you have to make to the guild. As I said before, in my experience, my Iksar Monk started out dubious to the Monks in Freeport. With a few invis potions and Sneak (Lvl 8) I was able to train all my skills up to Feign Death from Puab Closk easily, before moving back to Kunark. After a few server crashes I was able to hang out in West Freeport and get 2 faction hits from Paladins killing Lucan D`Lere, which put me around Apprehensive with North Freeport, the only Freeport zone that really matters.

I wish I had better help for you, I really do.

But on Live, I was way way KOS to the gate guards, but could invis or flop my way to the bank, and also flop my way to the monk guild and train if need be, and while I don't remember specifically what work I did... because I don't remember what it was, it must not have been particularly oppressive ;) Just hope I'm remembering right ;P

Well then, I stand corrected.

..and rumour has it that CB belts can be handed in okay to both Captain Hazran and Cain Darkmoore - and the DeathfistOrcs/CrushboneOrcs faction is in fact the same faction by a different name.

Something worth trying, as its certainly easier to clear CB for belts although you won't see the positive Freeport hits while killing orcs in CB itself.
