For shits and giggles I tested this out on live with new faction:


[Sun Jul 20 12:11:16 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- Bondl
[Sat Jul 26 13:11:24 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- Erud's Crossing
[Sat Jul 26 14:03:37 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- Wandering Spirit
[Sat Jul 26 15:51:21 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- Envy/Woe
[Sat Jul 26 15:55:05 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- Spirit Sentinel (Sparkling Gem)
[Sat Jul 26 16:01:01 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- Black Dire
[Sat Jul 26 16:18:17 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- CoM Reports
[Sat Jul 26 16:19:49 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- Lord Ghiosk Books
[Sat Jul 26 16:36:53 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- High Scale Icon Turnin
[Sat Jul 26 16:42:19 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 100. -- High Scale Kirn Ring Turnin
[Sat Jul 26 16:44:28 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit has been adjusted by 695. -- Neh'Ashiir Book Turnin
[Sat Jul 26 16:50:01 2014] Your faction standing with Truespirit could not possibly get any better. -- Bondl to max

^ Those are the faction hits live has currently for the quest. Interestingly everything is a +100 hit except Neh'Ashiir's turnin, which is 695.

I cut out the duplicates. Those are all the steps in the shaman epic (per allakhazam guide) that I went through and did.

it def isn't working like that. I turned in something like 30+ gems to bondl, turned in multilple woe/envy multilple completed reports and 2x sets of the books from lord ghiosk

Nilbog was just asking which steps in the epic yielded a faction hit.

Those are the different steps that yield faction hits. I believe Nilbog will be retuning the amounts so that doing each step once gets you to max faction.

Skipping via doing 30 bondls may or may not give oyu max faction though.

Any movement on fixing this? I have begun the quest and the Lesser Spirit is still Apprehensive (had to have him charmed to get the piece).

If you're high enough does shaman charm v animal work on him?

almost positive the lesser spirit is not tagged as animal

perhaps summoned?

Like I mentioned earlier, I don't think it should work like that either. I don't know why Sony would change this stuff so many years after Kunark, but there's no way that everything was an equal +100 faction hit.

the quest on live was designed so that you only had to do each step once to complete it. that's why Nilbog is wanting the faction hit hand ins. so he can tune it to do this

He also stated that new shamans only will start on indifferent to true spirit. you'd either need to reroll after patch, or work the faction

[BlkCamel]

Even back in classic shaman were scared of not having enough faction. Yes you should have enough faction just completing the quest as is, but most shaman would do 5X woe+envy turns in to make sure since you get message faction cannot go any higher.

i didnt repeat anything on live and had no issue.
