Iksar Faction in Freeport - how to raise it?

[LordRayken]

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.

[Aalderon Crystafire]

If you want all of Freeport you need to do it in a specific order--


Arcane Scientists --

Rat ears can be purchased infinitely off of vendors. Buy several stacks and go to Rephas in Qeynos Hills with wolf form. He can be found near the pond where Hadden is.

Turn in rat ears for:

Your faction standing with Arcane Scientists has been adjusted by 5.
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Opal Dark Briar has been adjusted by -1.
Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia has been adjusted by -1.

THEN turn in the grilled rat ears he gives you back for the same hits!

You'll want to do this first since it lowers Freeport Militia. It isn't too bad though since it's a 5 gain and only a 1 loss. You'll also get a start on Knights of Truth this way.

Don't worry about Opal Dark Briar.




Dismal Rage

As a Necromancer, you should have a good class modifier for Dismal Rage -- I'm not sure if they welcome Iksars by default on P99 right now the way Bloodsabers do. If they are KOS skeleton form is all you'll need to change that.

Head down below East Freeport and find Xelha Nevagon the necromancer GM. Turn in 4 bone chips at a time for the following hits.

Your faction standing with Dismal Rage got better. +5
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth got worse. -1
Your faction standing with Opal Dark Briar got better. +1

This will start lowering your Knights of Truth again but the ratio of 5 gain to 1 loss is still quite good and we're going to take care of that afterwards anyway. You'll also fix whatever damage you did to Opal Dark Briar from rat ears. Only Opal Darkbriar (Dismal Rage Wizard Trainer) is on this faction.

Once you reach amiable you can also turn in fire beetle eyes x4 or spiderling silks x4 for double the gains.

Your faction standing with Dismal Rage got better. +10
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth got worse. -1
Your faction standing with Opal Dark Briar got better. +1

You'll want to get Dismal Rage up as high as you can before proceeding because you're going to need a buffer when you work up Priests of Marr.

Knights of Truth, Coalition of Tradefolk & Coalition of Tradefolk Underground

On a 'good' race alt head to the Ocean of Tears and make sure you have 8 empty 10-slot bags. Get off at Sister Isle and load up on kiola nuts - 80 of them. Now you can either take these to Tumpy Irontoe in Kaladim and give him 1 water flask + 1 nut to have him brew them into Tumpy Tonics or you can brew them yourself, have a friend brew them or hire someone to brew them for you.

Take your 80 Tumpy Tonics and head to the Seafarer's Roost at night in East Freeport with wolf form and turn them in 1 at a time to Groflah Steadirt for the following massive hits.

Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk got better. +10
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth got better. +10
Your faction standing with Merchants of Qeynos got better. +7
Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground got better. +10

That's +800 faction to Merchants/Bankers, Knights of Truth, Rogue's guild and as a bonus +560 to Merchants of Qeynos -- from just one trip. If you have a porting alt who can bind in OOT and grab kiola nuts, port them out and dump them on a vendor for your main you can do that as well.

Once you're Amiable with Knights of Truth you're ready for..

Priests of Marr & Steel Warriors

Stock up bottles of milk and head over to West Commonlands. Find Mojax Hikspin who is usually sitting by the lake and start doing turn ins for the following hits.

Your faction standing with Knights of Truth has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Dismal Rage has been adjusted by -1.
Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia has been adjusted by -1.
Your faction standing with Priests of Marr has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Steel Warriors has been adjusted by 1.

Mojax is usually sitting next to Skipynn Stoneshear who is on the Commons Residents faction. He's only level 6 so he should not attack you once he's a green con. The milk turn ins are one of those quests where it is 1 item per turn in but still allows you to turn in 4 at once.

Since it is a +/- 1 for all factions you'll need to go back and forth between these turn-ins and the Dismal Rage turn-ins -- this is why you wanted a buffer zone for your Dismal Rage faction. Fortunately, the Dismal Rage turn-ins are +5 or +10, and the Knights of Truth negative hits are directly countered by the milk -- while Priests of Marr and Steel Warriors will continue to raise. Freeport Militia will continue to dump so make sure you finish these factions off before proceeding.


The Freeport Militia

Really the easiest way to do raise Freeport Militia is by doing the Inert Potion as you can have a friend lure Slansin up near Toresian and then use hotkeys/target swap to keep doing turn-ins which will keep him there. I'd go into more details on this but since I'm assuming you haven't done Erudin factions already I'll give you the other options instead.

Gnoll/Orc Scalps from Highpass all turn in for +1 Freeport Militia with no negative hits.

Rebby's Whiskers which you get for delivering a note from Nestral TGaza in East Freeport to Rebby in West Freeport are tradeable, not lore, and stack - can be turned in to Nestral for the following hits.

Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground has been adjusted by 10
Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk has been adjusted by 10
Your faction standing with Carson McCabe has been adjusted by 1
Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards has been adjusted by 1
Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia has been adjusted by 1

That is probably your best bet. I suggest you farm the whiskers on another character who can bind/gate or a Bard.

Finally we come to my guild,

League of Antonican Bards

If you do any leveling in Mistmoore that alone should take care of us. If not, find Fabian in Grub n' Grog in East Freeport and do turn-ins of 2 gold for the following hits

Your faction standing with League of Antonican Bards has been adjusted by 2.
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Ring of Scale has been adjusted by -1.
Your faction standing with Mayong Mistmoore has been adjusted by -1.

It's actually not at all difficult to do these turn-ins provided you use my guide for doing quick turn-ins. http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=250704

Also, I have yet to test it but if it's anything like Lashun Novashine's turn-ins you can 'MQ' it by turning in heaps of gold at once, then doing single turn-ins of 1 copper at a time to get the hits. Mapping Left-Click to my keyboard I was able to do coin turn-ins by just alternating two key presses on my keyboard and with Lashun Novashine I set 'Hail' to the same bind as USE CENTER SCREEN so I never needed to chase him around either.

Ok, that's a ton of information thanks a lot for compiling so much stuff! I don't know how long it took you to put that together, I appreciate it. I will check out your guide too. Thanks Aalderon!

Re: Priests of Marr/WC

You can't mez or CC the NPC there and get faction gains. I was kos on a character and gave it a try, not sure if wolf/skeleton/etc form works or not but its trickier than it should be.

Wolf form ought to work for Mojax, but if not, you should kill orcs to get non-KoS because he's on Knights of Truth faction.

I don't suggest mezzing or CCing anyone there. Mojax would already be brought up to amiable from the preceding section since he is on Knights of Truth. Skipynn next to him would likely be KOS but he's only level 6 so he shouldn't aggro.

With regards to mezzing, however...

I have yet to test it but I'm told that if the mezzer zones or gates out it removes combat status and you can then do a turn in provided you have someone to invisible you after putting the item in trade before hitting give... Like a Bard pulse invis.

[Boyblunder]

Thanks for great post Aalderon, now I have something to do when I hit 60 :P
