Faction ActionFollow

As I was tooling around the left side menu bar to see what improvements have been made to the sight, I clicked on the Faction List, which I think I've never clicked on before.

It shows a long list of the various groups in Norrath that can be affected by faction, either through killing mobs or doing quests.

I was particularly interested because I want to get enough faction with the Qeynos guilds (you know, the ones that give you the City Tasks) to be able to purchase a title from a vendor. And since I've done enough writs to kill a whale, I figure I'd be able to get several titles.

Unfortunately, I quickly found out, which I already knew but had forgotten, that when you do a writ for one guild and gain faction, you lose faction with other guilds. So all this time while I've been doing 1 writ from each of the 4 guilds at the same time, my faction with all of them has gone nowhere.

Not to worry, a few dozen trips to Barren Sky with single writs in hand should do the trick.

Yeah, that's no longer accurate unless they changed it back very recently (I haven't done a writ for a few weeks). Guild writs for one faction should no longer lower the other city factions. Hasn't for quite some time.

On a side note - you might want to do writs enough to kill a whole family of whales, as your own city factions is still at this time the longest, hardest, biggest pain in the *** to level (which totally makes no sense but heh). Far back when they werent showing you your faction in numbers I remember it was taking 125 writs of the same faction (back then without doing writs from other factions or you had a faction hit) to get to the first title (Crier for me, was doing Ironforge). Then I THINK like 375 to get to the second title. I gave up after that, mostly when they changed the tradeskills system, because I used to always make a few extra to sell but now if you're a provisioner you have to basically sell at a loss +_+.
