NPC Spawn Issue: Forpar Fizfla on the Wrong Faction

[Teddie1056]

This guy is Ready to Attack to me, but Allakhazam lists 3 possible factions:
Gemchoppers (I am not KoS to Gemchoppers)
Ak`Anon (I am ready to attack)
Merchants of Ak`anon (I am max dubious to merchants I believe)

Someone commented:

"I know faction is very important for those Bards doing their epic (like me). By playing around with my faction song I have determined that Forpar is on the same faction as the Guards: Gemchoppers.

This means if you've been hunting clockworks in Solusek's Eye you may have faction issues since that gives a Gemchoppers hit.

Several ways to fix:

1) Use Charismatic Carillion for faction boost
2) Use invis song and make sure you are invis (indif) before doing trades
3) Kill aqua gobbies or Mino's if you are KOS and can't get non-KOS using faction song.
4) *Unverified* Have a chanter charm him to make him amiable to turn in epic pieces.

I believe he is on the Ak`Anon Faction on p99, which doesn't make sense, since I am pretty sure only clockworks are on that faction.
