How I walked into Cabilis at level 29

Troll Warrior - Rallos Zek

Came to Field of Bone at level 18, farming spider silks. This graduated into starting the faction quest by killing forsaken iksar. From that point on, I would not intentionally kill any mob for experience which did not get me to my goal of increasing Cabilis faction.

Killed forsaken iksar in Field of Bone for a little while before camping the forsaken Iksar ruins in Lake of Ill Omen. While there I'd run over by the Explorer tower to kill goblins and sarnaks (gave a bit of xp, but addressed Trooper faction only). Eventually I made my way to Bandit Lake in WW, and I was there from about 20 to mid-20s (the one manslayer gave me more than one level of xp). Then the troopers turned dubious.

When I started Trooper Mozo's Bone Chip quest, the Crusaders' faction started at scowling, and the outside vendors started at dubious. I was probably level 25 when I first started in Kurn's Tower. I was there until level 29 and was still getting xp, though only from an odd mole and about 1/4 of the lesser charbone skeletons. It was the bone chip turn-ins that gave me most of my xp during the bone chip farming, about 5% per 20 stacks at level 28.

Tips for Kurn's farming: I sold just about everything I looted (passing them to an iksar alt), and ran most of the coins that I collected to the OT outpost to deposit in the bank. I spent about 300p total on purchasing bone chips, and maybe 200p in maintenance and upkeep. In the end I have netted 1.7k plat in the bank just from farming bone chips in Kurn's (and some from the Field of Bone; aside from the mobs being more spread out, the drop rate for bone chips in FoB is abysmal compared to Kurn's Tower).

Also, the sooner you learn the keyboard-mouse trick for turning in the bone chips, the better.

The following numbers are +/- 1 or 2 stacks.

Between 369 - 389 stacks of bone chip turn-ins, both Bodi and Quarg turn threatening

Between 444 - 460 stacks of bone chip turn-ins, both Bodi and Quarg turn dubious

Between 444 - 460 stacks of bone chip turn-ins, crusaders and most vendors turn apprehensive

Between 585 - 592 stacks of bone chip turn-ins, crusaders and most vendors turn indifferent

Between 602 - 612 stacks of bone chip turn-ins, crusaders and most vendors turn amiable

Necros are still threatening, due mostly to the goblins and sarnaks that I killed during my relatively short time on Lake of Ill Omen. It probably wouldn't take me too long in the tunnel to LoIO to bump this up. From what I've read, the iksar manslayers and pariahs give +10 faction (and barely give xp at level 29).

I believe the half-dozen or so vendors in Cabilis West which are still dubious, also started out at dubious, as I did poke my head into Cabilis at one point (with invis potions) to check out factions and all vendor-types were dubious.
