Getting RK2 spells and tomes.

[relgguns]

Raise your fangbreaker faction to buy some rk2 spells:

The spells and tomes for which the rk1 version is dropped, and not purchased, tend to have the rk2 versions as purchasable off merchants; but with high faction.

Different factions will give different options. Many of the details are not on alla, and must be dug out of class specific sites. For steamfactory, no one seems to know what you can buy with high rebel brownie faction ( I am very curious )

However! For fangbreaker faction you can buy the following, with faction around kindly or ally. ( got this from alla )

Arc of Arrows rk2
Aurora of Morrow rk2
Bite of the Borrower rk2
Bonestitch Charm rk2
Eleventh-Hour rk2
Survival of the Fittest rk2
Tome of Battle Frenzy rk2
Tome of Knuckle Smash rk2
Bloodmoon Taxidermy Kit
Knuckle Bone Extractor
Knuckle Bone Stringing Cord
Howl at the Moon rk2
Trial for Power rk2
Talisman of the Puma rk2
Scales of the Reptile rk2
Flashflames rk2
Were-Orc Bone Shield Ornamentation (Container)
Emblem of the Fang Breakers (Augmentation)

HOW DO I RAISE MY FANGBREAKER FACTION?

there are a number of quests, the easiest is:

Talk to tyrinam in Loping, he is near docks area in south west area of zone. Get the quest: "reducing the theat - Worgs", then go kill 20 worgs. You get xp for the quest as well as faction. Worgs do not summon, are snareable, and are animals, so druid charming works.

Other quests: the rebuilding quests from Ryveron in loping; Get them and kill alligators for the mounds of clay. Or kill treants for the piles of wood, or miners for the ores. Remember to get quest before looting these droppable items, if you dont have quest, and you loot the item, that item is useless.

These Rebuilding quests also give nice xp, about half an aa!!!

Please post in this thread any info you have about other factions that raising will give access to merchants. This is a very helpful thing that can help our guild significantly.

For druids; the two fangbreaker rk2 spells are quite nice to help save groups: One spell is a group heal that heals the most damaged members of the group the most ( survival of the fittest rk2 ). The other spell ( scales of the reptile rk2 ), adds a defensive healing proc to someone; mobs beating on a tank will cause heals on tank, very nice.

Enjoy!! and post any info on faction based SoF merchants that you have, even just a link.

added note.

to get to kindly, need around 20 solo missions.

to get to ally, need around 30 solo missions.

And to the wizzies out there, i believe flashflames rk2 is a nice spell. so get out there and kill those worgs!!

Holy shit thats a good pally spell!

Do you know the best way to raise strike force v? That is one we all will need to indiff at least to upgrade our gear.

[relgguns]

Im looking into the quests to raise strike force v faction. here is a list of the quests from alla. many are in dragonscale hills.

* Construction Junction, What's Your Function?
* Creepfeet Thievery
* Darwin's Award
* Disposing of Unwanted Things
* Endless Enemies
* Engine Room Schematics
* Farm Clean Up - Crows
* Farm Clean Up - Doombugs
* Farm Clean Up - Scarecrows
* Forgetful Nanzie
* Gearing Up
* Getting That Stabilizer
* I Can Fly
* Mechamatic Spelunking
* Modulation!
* Oil Cans
* Stopping Production
* Switching Gears
* The Steamwork You're Looking For

I think the farm clean up ones are probably quickest as far as solo missions go. the crows are level 71, so will get some xp i guess. the doombugs are 68, so maybe faster to slaughter them in mass, although probably ghetto xp.

If we want better xp as we work on faction, I think the gearing up, and the oil can tasks will work, both in fortress mech. The gearing up seems faster; it has multiple versions, and requires looting relatively few items.

All others seem either somewhat slow to use for faction, or very ghetto on the xp.

to get the farm missions, go to

Your Location is 3665.17, 1818.12, 102.98

You say, 'Hail, Sigglik'

*** I read that the crows are not root or snareable, makes them rather nasty for us druids. I think the doombugs are snareable though.

another interesting mission that rogues can solo is
Destroy the Competition from Pyrotechnician Flizcog in fortess Mech.

I know this last task is not very helpful to most, but I get a kick out of quests that rogues can solo using sos.

[Vizier]

I think the best way to grind those farm missions would be to have kreig or Nim (or both) tanking and just mass pulling and killing.

I was grouped with 3 clerics in that zone and the clerics were tanking and soloing 2-3 mobs at a time. This tells me that with a couple melee and dps classes we could clear things very fast.

20 solo missions to indiff
30 solo missions to kindly

At least thats what i heard.

[figgan]

Sounds like a great idea, Viz. Nimolak is rdy to be used whenever, so just let us know!
