Warrior epic quest faction requirements

[Ciderpress]

Does it have any? I noticed on the wiki guide some of the npcs involved are on True Spirit, which I thought was only for the sham epic. It makes no mention about faction requirements when doing turn ins though. Anyone know for sure?

I'm apprehensive to the Tenal Redblade guy in EK gorge, but he does talk to me if I hail him.

Anybody know? It's the True Spirit thing that is sketching me out, because I know the sham epic is super faction dependent and if you don't have the right level of faction when turning stuff in it can get eaten.

I'm a gnome warrior and afaik I've never killed anything that would break the epic.

I can't say for certain, but ... there is zero mention of faction on https://wiki.project1999.com/Warrior_Epic_Quest, and probably 1k+ warriors have used that guide to get their epic.

If none of them ran into faction issues, I doubt you will.

That's my thinking too just wanted to get confirmation. Haven't even started the quest but I didn't wanna get half way through and lose a turn in or something, cause that would certainly be part of the classic experience haha

Not familiar with warrior epic but barring exceptions you don't need to work on faction for epic outside quest steps. In the shaman case it is so you don't just show up to rak'ashiir with your iksar tear and be done with it. Enchanter epic doesn't have faction AFAIK but like almost every single step is combined into a bag for the turn ins so you can't really MQ/skip anything.

If you haven't killed major quest NPCs and follow the progression I think you'll be fine. Best way to double check is to hail the mob and go through the dialogue. If he gives you the quest you're most likely fine. Like for the sash/headband part of the monk epic if you don't have the silent fist(?) faction they'll tell you to come back when you've proven yourself if you go through dialogue.

In theory, only time you need to faction is if the quest gives faction during small steps and the next one won’t respond to prompts without it. Many of those you can cheese with invis though.

If I was doing the warrior epic quest I’d certainly make sure there are no issues with quest prompts. Even if you were paranoid and wanted to faction to ally with TS it only takes about 1.5hrs and a few beers. Then you can MQ Childs tears for fun too, lol.

Have you ever done a shaman epic? Isn’t that the only way to drop true spirit faction, so the only way you may make problems for epic hand ins?

Even that you only lose faction on the hand-in for the epic. My ranger is ally with Truespirit and has retained it for triggering the CoM fight. I MQ’ed my gnarled staff to my wiz with him having a buddy pilot one char.

Talking to the quest mobs is a good way to confirm faction in general. No talky, no clicky.

Ok cool thanks for the replies. Faction in EQ just always spooks me out. I did do a sham epic once on blue and I just remembered it was really faction dependent, and you *had* to be max ally for the final turn in. I also seem to remember trying to start the druid epic once and the dude in burning wood wouldn't talk to me because I had been naughty at some point and killed something I shouldn't have, but I had no clue what it was.
