So there is no faction requirement to do the wolf turn in? It only starts at the pages that you have to worry about whether or not you have enough faction? Sorry for all the questions man! You're so helpful though!

Haha thanks mang!

I should have clarified before - proper faction is required for every step of the epic (with the exception of Bondl since he is the start point for the epic). When you complete each step in the epic it gives you enough of a faction boost to either activate dialogue or the ability to turn in your reward from the previous step (ex: handing in gems from previous steps to the next quest NPC). AFAIK it will not let you leap frog beyond that point by virtue of having insufficient faction to hand in/start new dialogue.

The only points where this really matters are when you receive an item of value (say.... Shield of Falsehood or Black Fur Boots, Epic). At any other point all you're doing is padding your faction to progress through the story. While the story may be immersive you may have a problem mobilizing groups of people literally in the corners of Norrath (hole, com).

Tl;dr I was suggesting doing your epic to the point where you can collect the best item (see: black fur boots), after that it's like a large gap until maxed as there are no items of value you can unlock till the final fight that will net you cash or slot upgrades. Doing it properly to the boots is a guarantee you will have sufficient faction for pelt turn in and subsequent book dialogue.
