Game Forum / Role Playing Games / EverQuest / April 2005DoN faction: How to start?
Yes, yes, I know how to start: get a group doing a mission. But how did THEY get the faction to start? Kill guards? Or is there a task somewhere in zone that gives faction? I've hailed everyone at the gypsy camp, but they don't seem to offer any tasks related to DoN factions. The npc's at the camps won't talk to me without some small level of faction first; so how do I get it? Can it be done solo, or is groupong the only way? Is there someone who should talk to me at this stage? EJH > Yes, yes, I know how to start: get a group doing a mission. But how > did THEY get the faction to start? Kill guards?

I believe that there should be some tasks you can get from one or the other camp to start it, but, I admit, I happened into a group that did several evil DoNs before I started on any tasks myself, so I don't actually know. Killing guards will raise your faction, and would be an option.

Or maybe you're confused, as "they don't seem to offer any tasks *related to DoN factions*" is unclear as to whether you can't find anyone to give tasks or you're getting tasks but you don't think they're related to DoN faction. Any tasks given in Lavastorm are related to DoN factions. > Yes, yes, I know how to start: get a group doing a mission.

They give faction tasks. I printed the one for GOOD faction and the names you need for single person tasks are Mercenary Bitral and Mercenary Elanye. Kanethus Forrestwalker, Bianca Galbraith and Boldger Bristlebeard offer single group tasks. Upon completing the tasks you receive a token and some of the Crystals. I believe you need to turn in five tokens to reach indifferent faction to be able to do the more advanced tasks. I will cite my personal experience. Background: Druid level 66 and quite timid. I accepted a task to gather spider silks. Said to self: those spiders are green and I killed lots of them trying to help someone with a task. I can do this. BUT, after killing numbers of them and finding no silk, I checked Allakhazam for what was wrong. I needed spiders in zone other than Lavastorm. Zone into Lavaspinner. See a narrow path. Track: see only blue mobs and only a few spiders from that location. By the way, the task window did not divulge the task details until I zoned into Lavaspinner. Decide to spend some time foraging. Did not see any mobs from the place I had gone to, only a small distance into the zone... Went AFK for a few minutes. Come back and see I am nearly dead... EVAC. Some mob had wandered my way or I had been "trained" with one mob. I abandoned the task. >> Yes, yes, I know how to start: get a group doing a mission.

Most of those tasks are not very difficult, trivially soloed at level 70. As a druid, you should have little difficulty soloing them at your level, just root and rot.

My 52 Monk and a 65 Chanter friend were able to handle the spiders okay, until we got careless and tried to take over a room that a larger group had recently vacated. (Their kill rate was faster, of course, so the respawns came closer together, so we found ourselves fighting about 4-5 mobs just as the chanter's VOQ, pet haste, and other buffs ran out. Of course. :-) The task should've specified the zone. You have to click on the task line in the upper portion of the Task Window, and then it should show the current state of the task as individual steps. Each step will show the required zone (which may be "ALL", e.g. for killing Stillmoon creatures). I'm told you may have to be patient and ask the NPCs in the wayfarer's camp (NOT the gypsy camp; they're up on the hill in Lavastorm) multiple times before they offer you other tasks. My 52 monk was getting offered only a task involving killing Stillmoon creatures, which are much tougher than mobs in Lavaspinner, while the 65 chanter was given a choice between that and the easier spider task. Eventually I managed to get offered a different task. We later tried doing a task that required killing drakes in Lavaspinner, and those are a bit higher level and tend to be casters, not to mention they like to drift off into the lava stream during the battle. So I'd say stick to those spiders for your first task. The one task we did finish gave us faction, but no "token" to turn in for more faction. I gather the tokens come from group tasks, but I'm not sure where to get those tasks. (Maybe a non-KOS group member goes in and gets a task from one of the camps in the tunnels? Not sure.) -- Don. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- See the a.g.e/EQ1 FAQ at http://www.iCynic.com/~don/EQ/age.faq.htm -- -- Sukrasisx, Monk 53 on E.
