Faction Boons and Duds

[Seducio]

Leaving aside the three main Velious factions.

Which faction did you do work on that really paid off? (Great boon)

Which faction did you work on that you really regret getting? (Big dud)

Neriak faction is a big winner. Many great dungeons, (mana free) wiz port, dru port, EC, shadowed rapiers all nearby. Plus not getting ganked by the dark elf camp in l fay and nice vendors in sro.

The dark elves in that camp are on the Cleric and Warrior guild factions, not the Guard factions. I'm tolerated in Neriak (apprehensive DreadguardOuter / dubious DreadguardInner) and unwelcome in 3rd Gate (hunted the Clerics for sport) and Indigo Brotherhood is KOS (too many quests helping their enemies) and the entire camp will aggro me.

Brother Benanov good to see you again

I had fun doing the cabilis factions; is it a great boon to run through as a human cleric? Not sure about that, but it sure is fun.

For my ikky necro I hung around Kunark until the 30s and then made a few nightly visits to an abandoned crushbone to up my sisters faction. Then I moved to OOT and haven't had to leave in 20 levels except to go spell hunting and snag gear from ec on occasion.

I second Cabilis. Kunark is a big barren island with cities only on the outskirts or in the middle.

Keeping Overthere faction on my Shaman and Cleric is working out very well.

Ogre Rallos Zek Shaman and Human Innoruuk Cleric both can use vendors for spells, bank freely, and spell-turn in quests (much quicker than running to FV)

Came in super-duper handy on Shaman when I was levelling 55-60. Was able to bind in bear pits in Permafrost, and only needed to emerge to OT outpost when I needed bandages, food and water.

Rivervale faction is really handy. Closest bank to a druid port,easy faction to fix

I did Cabalis on a Bard, mainly to see if i could.

Not sure it was worth the 10,000 Bone Chips... yes i documented them all at the time, but is still nice to be able to run through and bank there in safety.
