Quest Issue: Shaman Epic

[Daldaen]

I'm confused at why that's worse faction for me.

Make a post saying Shamans should have default indifferent faction. Provide some in-era evidence and it will get changed.

I'm not doubting that to be the case.

For now, find a chanter or bard and charm it.

Shaman default faction should probably get moved to Indifferent though. Unsure how they can do that for already created characters however...

I wonder if something can be taken from the Stanos class check code to return an if class shaman, faction is indifferent if less than that.

I found 2001 evidence suggesting that you cannot do that part of the quest until indifferent and several suggestions to either use a chanter charm or utilize a bug on the server at the time (all mobs would con indifferent for first 10-15s after logging on a new character)

Faction files were loaded several seconds after characters entered world/zone. Until the files are loaded you would have the default faction. Example: Camp in Skyshrine next to a mob, which is kos by default, then when you logged in you might get eaten depending on the speed of the faction loading.

Oh man, I'm remembering some Ranger/Druid bitching about logging in next to a Kodiak in West Commons and getting ganked. Can't recall if it was "so sorry, too bad, can't fix it" or if they patched in a fix later, or what.
