Iksar Faction in Freeport - how to raise it?

If you are raising militia faction with turn-ins you are lowering NFP paladin faction. I think the only time you raise both is when you kill the orcs but if you proceed to doing WFP turn ins it will lower your NFP guard faction. Also, none of that helps your Antonican Bard faction which is a big part of NFP (and many other NPCs around the world). I think you need to decide which is more important..NFP guards or militia (I don't think you can have both unless you just kill an ungodly amount of Orcs (with no turn ins).

I did a bunch of belt turn ins (like 70-80?) which raised my merchant faction and militia faction to non-KOS. I then tagged Lucan when he was being killed which put me instantly at apprehensive with NFP guards but back to KOS with militia (merchants unchanged). I then went to EFP tavern where you can find a bard who accepts 2gp "tip" and this raises your Antonican Bard/NFP guard faction (had a druid guildie pull to zoneline and used sneak to do turn ins). I turned in 70p to him 2gp at a time (yes it's a PITA). After doing those turn ins I was amiable with NFP guards and went from KOS to apprehensive with Antonican Bards. That basically gave me free reign in NFP (except bankers who are on a different faction so I still have to wall bank).

If I was doing this again I would change the order of what I did and do the bard turn-ins before tagging Lucan to make things easier. Hope that helps.

Yes, i had a lowbie necro and tagged Lucan when I seen him getting killed, instantly realized that was a mistake because my militia faction was wrecked. Aalderon told me that building NFP guards is easier than militia, so I deleted that toon and remade an iksar, and since then just been building militia and tradesfolk with pawn picks. I turned in a lot of belts too, but I will worry about NFP guards once i get my vendor faction up and militia faction up too. That's the route i thought to take anyway. Bard, and caster guilds I haven't even begun to figure that part out yet. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Use the bard in EFP tavern. It's a serious PITA turning in 2gp at a time but it does raise both bard and NFP guard faction with no negative faction hit (pretty sure). Aside from killing Orcs I don't know of another way to raise NFP guard faction without also lowering militia faction.

I did tons of belts for the North Freeport guards, and then turned in 2gp at a time for like 2 hours straight to the bard. I'm apprehensive in the bank area now and dubious in the main freeport area now.
