About
One of my favorite things about the classic Everquest experience was the faction system. In my early days of playing, I saw a human monk sitting in the Neriak bank and immediately thought, "I want to be THAT guy." I rolled myself up a human cultist and went straight to Neriak, but soon learned that life would be difficult if I did not invest time in faction. Frequent were the times when random citizens would jump through walls and ceilings to punch me to death. I eventually settled upon playing a half-elven bard and did a great many quests to gain faction in unusual areas, up to the point where it was possible (as Everquest was a very buggy game back in those days).
On p99 I relive these days. Many of the bugs have been fixed, and a few of the faction numbers are not the same as they once were, but there is enough nostalgia that I find great satisfaction in factionquesting.
A question I receive often is how I managed to increase my faction in different cities (and for some reason I am asked about this more often in Cabilis than in Neriak or Oggok). The short answer is that I prefer to do this through quests. It is much more satisfying to quest for faction than to kill innocents for faction, and gathering items for quests is more consistent with the rich Everquest theme than is...say, killing the exact same thing every six minutes.
Having played on p99 for some time now, while we wait for that "other" half-elven bard to finish his faction guide, I should share my accumulated knowledge with the community. Still, there is never a point when one really understands the entire system, and I still learn new things all the time. For this reason, I have decided that rather than try to write a guide that tells you what you should do to increase a faction, after I max ally any given faction, I will share how I did it...in Haiku format.
