Ok cool thanks for the replies. Faction in EQ just always spooks me out. I did do a sham epic once on blue and I just remembered it was really faction dependent, and you *had* to be max ally for the final turn in. I also seem to remember trying to start the druid epic once and the dude in burning wood wouldn't talk to me because I had been naughty at some point and killed something I shouldn't have, but I had no clue what it was.

Shaman epic is easy you just do all the steps and get a real epic, if you fake out faction to skip fights you get the looser epic (which is otherwise identical) or risk no epic if you fuck up.

Waiting for those ghosts takes real patience though.

Yeah I actually liked doing the proper sham epic quest instead of just cheesing the faction and skipping to the end. Plus the insta-click sow boots are nice to get. Then I saw some war epic mobs are on true spirit (for some reason I don't understand lore-wise) and I was like oh shit... right, faction. That's a thing. First time ever playing a war much less doing the epic, didn't wanna beef it on any important turn ins.

When I did my shaman epic I too did the entire quest. It is pretty fun. I will note as iksar even if you do the entire quest you still have to cheese the faction to complete it.

I do remember wizard epic also involved true spirit faction for some reason, I think they just used it as a catch all for most epic quest factions.

Most epic quest mobs you talk to for any class are on truespirit faction. "True Spirit" while it sounds shaman-y and is very delicate during the shaman epic, has nothing to do with shamen. It is just the faction that epic quest mobs are on and was implemented to try and prevent people from skipping steps during their epic quest.

Imo p99 should use a flag system instead of faction system for epics. Lets close these exploits.

You can ruin your True Spirit faction if for some reason you kill mobs that are on that faction, but those aren't mobs one would normally kill. It's also pretty easy to fix it again.

All warriors start with enough True Spirit faction to do the quest without needing to work on it. There's really no reason it should ever be an obstacle to anyone.
