Velious Beta Empy?

[Yukkers]

I think people are forgetting that faction isn't really that hard at the start of Velious. I'm boxing my mage and a cleric and got both max dwarf faction in 2-3 nights of clearing giants in GD. Ally isn't in the game yet, armor is dropping and gems are dropping. All of those quest need to be tested, faction isn't terribly hard to get.

You start out apprehensive to dwarves, of course its easy to faction. Try working on giant and dragon, which are both KoS unless you are Rallos Zek or Veeshan, respectively. Also, dwarf armor has lower minimum faction than dragon and giant if I recall correctly.

Factioning isnt as big of deal as some of you guys make it out to be.

come to the ghost town known as Kael Drakkel and join up with some peeps to start a group

I was max kos to Dragons after first week and a half of Beta ( thanks WW) but now Im indifferent thanks to a casual week or so of being in Kael.

Dwarves also love me bc I spent one night doin the wimpy frost giant fort in GD near EW in hopes to turn in some armor quests ( they were broken [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

Factioning is not a race guys, maybe when the real deal happens you can neckbeard your faction, but for now youll have any faction levels you want just putting hour here and there while grouped in like a week or 2 weeks time.

Then guess what, the beta is still going AND you have your faction ! its also alot of fun doing Kael groups, way more fun than farming in droga, kedge or sol a which was what I was doing before the release.

So yeah, come play in the snow, we won't bite.

While this is true, you can't even make gear from Giants or Dragons with ToV being closed. Aren't the drops from NToV and WToV irrc?

[falkun]

You are correct in that you cannot complete those armors yet, however giant armors drop in WToV and dragon armors drop in EToV (Halls of Testing).

I think 99.9% of the population would consider a week of casual grinding to be a big deal, as it relates to beta testing content.

Well, I'll give Kael a try this weekend, hope there's groups.

[Kindadar]

If I'm on, I'll group with whomever wants to kill/test some giants or play around with dwarf/dragon quests. Just look me up on the server.

Also, if you're in the 35-50 range, tower of frozen shadow needs some love.

Again, re-read my post. It's one of the first. Yes, there is non-raid content in velious, but it is by far a more raid-centric expansion than Kunark. There's a raid encounter in *almost every single zone* in velious, and a lot of the quests are faction locked. The biggest faction hits come from... raids!
