Has anyone done this from Freeport?
I want to do the Freeport betrayal quest to see how difficult it is, because my cousin is going to be getting the game soon and wants to be DE, but my friend and I are both Qeynosians. So, I created an Ogre to try the betrayal quest.
Anyone done this? If so, how difficult is it? The manual makes it seem like hell.

I know to betray Freeport you basically gotta kill several named Gnolls between Antonica and BB, and on top of that you gotta kill like 500 random gnolls. Its no simple easy task.
From what little I seen of Freeport, Id stick with Qeynos myself.
Im sure to betraw Qeynos will give a similar task involveing killing a bunch of orcs or something. I was going to make a Iksar Paladin, but after seeing the requirements I deleted him and made a wood elf lol.

I've done it, it wasn't too hard. 500 gnolls is the easy bit. sounds like a lot, but if you get grey ones round camps near the lighthouse they go really quickly. The named aren't hard if you can get a group, and are up most of the time. I started this quest with a dark elf shaman at level 12, and I was a citizen by level 16.
if your gonna betray qeynos ,
500 orcs , and 5 named orcs and then answer all the questions correctly or pay out the ying yang (1 gold each incorrect answer)
. Personally , id say just start an alt in freeport and stick with that to play with your friend .
A buddy of mine is in the middle of it right now and the poor guy has died like 4 or 5 times in TS on the way to Nek . So tonight we gotta try and help him get his shards and then make it through nek (luckily have a 30+ fury to help) .
The quest IMO isnt worth the hassle , id just start a new toon in freeport .
Thats just me tho

hehe, yah but u know it would be kewl to be a High Elf SK tho or something. People would know when u hit lvl 50 you worked your *** off to get there. making it through Nek is quite easy tho, atleast as long as u know where to go. now if they stick fish back in the river again lol, then it would be a bit more of a pain. as takin the river to zone atleast saves you a little hassle but not much. if you want to really make it easy, jus sit an wait at the beach path till u see some SK or Paladin training like half the zone towards or away from the beach an make ur dash for it then, and if you even think your gonna get aggro'd hit the sprint an dont stop till you cross the bridge
*btw forgot to mention it first time is the old hard part of this quest used to be one of the named would never spawn you could spend like 6-8 hours waitin for him to show and he never would, but now you get it pretty good, he pops about ever hour now days

Don't sweat the quest. It's not difficult, just time consuming. I've done the quest from Freeport to Qeynos with 2 characters, and I'm getting ready to begin it with a 3rd tonight.
You'll need to kill 500 gnolls, as people have said. Not a problem at all. If you just take your time, and kill blue/green gnolls, you'll be XP-capped at 220% into 17 before you complete the quest. It's cool that way, because as soon as you finish the quest you'll ding 19 and get to start your archtype quest (You won't actually ding twice....when you ding 18 you'll be 99% in to 18 and have to kill one more xp-bearing mob).
The named mobs are just not an issue if you get a group of other people doing the betrayal quest as well.
The hardest run is through Nek. Get a higher level to group you (30 or higher, preferable) and most of the stuff in Nek will be grey to you, allowing you free passage (with the exception of some named mobs that I still have never seen).
TS is the *easiest* run you will make. If you take the shortest route between Nek and Antonica, there is absolutely no reason to die in TS. Off the dock as soon as you enter TS, run straight ahead and take the *first* right into a small canyon. Nothing in that canyon is aggro. Keep running until you get to the road (you'll see guard towers) and hang a right. Stay on the road, but on the left-hand side of the road to avoid any undead. The road leads you straight to Antonica and you shouldn't pass close enough to *anything* that is aggro.
The quest is fun and gives you a great sense of accomplishment. It's on an epic scale, without requiring a small army to complete.

I just dont think its right that answering a question wrong puts you into 1 gold debt (each question) . 1 gold is a fortune at lvl 15-17 . I got lucky and had a high lvl buddy kick me down some cash to begin with , which made things ALOT easier . But for someone whitout that luxury , i can even imagine ..
The other thing is what if you cant afford the gold , then what . Your stuck as heck . the 500 orcs and 5 named is cake , its the cost if you answer a question wrong thats the pisser :)

I worried for hours about the questions....until I saw them.
Just remember what it is you are trying to do, from the perspective of your *character*. Your character is attempting to move away from the "dark side", the "evil" side, towards the "light side". A person like that is not going to answer questions sarcastically, or in an immature way just for a laugh. He's definitely NOT going to make a comment like "yeah, you're right, you might as well kill as many Freeportians as you can. Just don't hurt yourself." If you take that to heart before attempting the questions, you'll find, as I did, that the answers to those questions are truly obvious. (Speaking for the Freeport to Qeynos betrayal. I haven't betrayed in the other direction yet.)
The truth of it is that all you really need to do is take your time while reading the dialogue. That's really all there is to it. If you do that, and take your time while reading your response choices, then the correct response is going to be *painfully* obvious.
