KC leveling - OT Factioning. Protect the Shipyard?

[iruinedyourday]

So I really enjoy merchants/banking in OT - you can bank KOS if your clever but merchants not so much.

If you level in KC/HS from like 49-55+ can you rebuild faction doing this quest?

Ive read some old 2011 posts about it being both impossible and not impssible, so I do not know.

Has anyone leveled deep in KC/HS and been able to bring faction back up to apprehensive?

I am not looking to get a hammer, just merchant.

Thanks!
