It may be safest to hunt elsewhere (like the hole) if you want to be safe you don't get accidental faction hits.

The hole is factioned too

OT is not a good vendor spot. Sure it's fine for buying cheap supplies, but remember the vendors in OT are 'greedy'. Greedy vendors charge more and pay less.

You can bank in OT even KoS; just go up to the wall, 3rd person to right click on the banker, though I am told you can just right click the bankers through the wall! Beware of dragoons though.

If you want to stay non-KoS after getting your hammer, the hits in KC aren't too bad, top up occasionally with an afternoon hunting berserker braids. I've found HS to be the place with the really big negative hits to VS!

Beware even in basement pullers might bring in factioned mobs.

This, but just as importantly, you don't even need the vendors there!

Let's say you're out of food, you hammer to OT, and you're starving. Just walk out of the fort over to the mud pits (towards the WW side of the zone), and there's an Iksar female who sells food and drink to everyone regardless of faction.

So really the only thing anyone needs the actual OT "city" itself for is the bank, and as mentioned you can totally mess up your faction (by, you know, actually playing the game like you should) abd use the banker without faction ... if you're careful. If not ... "Goons to FM ZL!!!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's the san francisco of norrath

One of the real benefits of that faction is being able to pull undeads single and fear kite with plenty of space near the KC zoneout while others are waiting around lfg. Seen a few twinked SKs doing this regularly.

The main reason I don't like playing a warrior is feeling stuck/helpless in places. Making sure you have Sow pots and invis clickies. If I am in a group deep in a dungeon and I need out I can just hammer myself away to OT to log safely. I plan on getting Jboots and quilmain's cloak so that I can get to the port nexus in TD within a reasonable time after Hammering to OT

Never go to KC or Howling stones. The Hole has some of the best experience in game, camps everywhere and isn't as bad as most people fear it to be. I found as a Troll SK the most consistent, long duration exp sessions came from the hole. I'm always willing to show people around. Wedar's guide is also incredibly helpful.

Another option, if you like sitting around with LFG tag up go to Chardok.

With a ToD you could probably solo very efficiently at the pond assuming you have a hammer to get out. Grab a shaman friend and you can duo the hole very well.

Shoot me a PM and we can see about getting a group together.

I can kind of get behind avoiding KC (as it's sort of a "lowest common denominator" place), but some people have to go there. Some quests, like the Shaman Cann II quest, require it. Lot of good clickie armor drops there (although that can be bought), and also a piece of the VP key quest drops there, so it's not entirely avoidable to many.

Same with Kaesora (you need it for HS key and some other quests). HS isn't required for much (Spirit Wracked Cord mainly), but the zone is awesome and you're only hurting yourself if you miss out on that amazing zone. Loramin got like his last four levels in HS basement, and even that was a really bad camp for Shaman ... relative to how great it is for Necros.

I really think "avoiding key dungeons" is the wrong way to play Kunark; avoiding using the OT vendors (and getting your OT hammer via puppet strings) is the "right" or at least "smart" way IMHO.
