Factions

[Mundokar]

Was wondering which factions you have in Hibernia. For exapmle in Midgard your Svartalf faction absolutely has to be good otherwise you cant enter the Epic Zone.

I understand there is a faction with Curm's and a Siabra faction. Any other factions ? And at what level are these factions important. (to enter a dungeons for example)

Thnx in advance

Bah, don't get me started on the bloody factions in Hibernia...

We've got:
Siabra
Curmudgeons
Lucradens
Cluricauns
Land Sheerie
Water Sheerie
Empyreans

and lots more smaller ones.

However... having them positive just means that if you wander through their spawns you don't die. The only one where that makes a real difference is the Empyreans, and that only on the way to and from CF as far as I can tell. Still, it's an easy faction to keep, so most do.

My problem? Suicide Hills (the epic zone) is called that for a reason.. you go in there, and sooner or later (usually within a couple of hours) you're garuanteed to die because you're scouted. Kinda like going to your epic zone if you have an aggro Svartalf faction I guess. Afaik no dungeons have any factions involved whatsoever. So all in all? I hate the damn things, and I hate the epic zone.. waste of space

You need curms or dergans to be friendly if you want to do the lvl 16 quest Lesser of Two Evils.

generally at lower levels you'll want siabras as neutral to you cos it makes a lot of quests easier (kill curms for positive faction). However at higher lvls, siabras drop loads of nice loot and are great xp, so you'll prob be killing a lot of em.. or you might just camp in cf no factions of any importance there

In our Dragon zone there are 2 factions, Azures and Glimmers. Don't think you can get friendly with the Glimmers tho, since I think the Dragon is included there, would be very fun tho.

It's easy to get neutral or friendly with the Azures but they only spawn at a small area? And you need to kill them to get the Glimmerspirit Sword.

Azures start out as neutral, killing glimmers gives positive azure faction. You cannot get positive glimmer faction

However the Azure valley is good exp and nice drops at some lvls.

So my conclusion to SH would be..... SH = aggresive, but mad fun area. The aggro range of some of the glimmers makes it even more fun

wouldn't advise killing them as occassionally they *all* baf, and they are nearly impossible to run from (they move at faster than sprint speed). bards/rangers might be able to get away I guess.

 

[old.Nedowiz]

Sorry for going of the faction subject but I have often wondered about those azures. Are they questrelated? If I remember correct they keep saying something?

And yes that baf have made me sprint like mad a few times in vain

There's a OTD or quest that relates to them. You have to kill the named one, which gets all of them on you.

On a sidenote: I once used them to test my new bolt... Nothing more undignifying than being hammered into the ground by a bunch of grey/greens...
