Starting Out
Every character must do the entry quest via the Roaming Gnome standing in the starter area. This will force you to talk to all 3 faction leaders and they will give you a brief explanation of what their tier will offer you.
- Stone Sergeant Grognir of the Faydwer Alliance will tell you about Orcish Tier.
- Warlord Asmodae of the Cabilis Foreign Legion will tell you about Sathirian Tier.
- Grand Summoner Agwin of the Indigo Vanguard will tell you about Gnollish Tier.
After speaking to all 3 of these leaders, you will complete the entry quest and choose a path for each and every character.
At this time, this choice is completely irreversible!
- Orcish Tier has high HP and no heroic resists, tank / melee bonuses
- Sathirian Tier has low HP and high heroic resists, caster bonuses
- Gnollish Tier has medium HP and medium heroic resists, healer / buffer bonuses
Before You Set Out
There's still more to do in the camp after you have aligned your characters with the factions of your choice. There are two important NPCs of the Qeynos and Freeport Initiative to speak with.
- Leokul Spiritmender will offer a Bandit Quest and a Vampire Quest
- Elgeon Silvershaper will offer a Plagueborn Quest, Qeynos Exiles Quest, and a Freeport Exiles Quest.
Grinding Your Way
Each faction will start you off with a "Slay 250" quest followed by a "Slay 500" quest. Upon completing both of these, you will unlock the Armory dialogue from your respective faction leader as well as a repeatable "Slay 750" quest to improve your reputation with the corresponding faction.
- Unlocking the Armory for all of your characters as quickly as possible should be your first goal, as it allows you to pick up two quests immediately: Boot Tier Armor and Weapon Research.
How to Acquire Tier
Every faction level you attain, you will unlock a new Tier quest. If you have one of these quests, you must seek out a boss of the proper faction and kill him to receive tier. The quest will be automatically turned in as the boss dies, for a few characters at random. As these characters return to camp, by using the Armory dialogue, you will be able to requisition any of the tier you have earned. Note: You will NOT level your faction with every single turnin. The exact # of faction awarded is unknown at this time, but here is information regarding how faction works in Everquest, specifically the model used by EQ Emulator source code:
| Faction Level | Faction Rank | Faction Points | Tier Piece Unlocked |
|---|---|---|---|

You will start your journey at Dubious.
How to Acquire Accessories
Leokul Spiritmender will offer a Bandit Quest which must be completed to gain access to the Jewelry and Accessories. Upon killing a Bandit Leader, you will gain +5 credit toward this quest and they will drop a random amount of Immaculate Chromatium Fragments. These fragments may be turned in to Leokul Spiritmender on a character AFTER finishing his quest to be awarded a random accessory.
- Important Note: All characters have access to all accessories, meaning you can and will get shields on characters which have no use for them. Every item he awards is LORE, so make sure you tuck these away in your bank so you don't have the misfortune of being awarded them a second time.
How to Acquire Epic
Elgeon Silvershaper will offer a Plagueborn Quest which you required to kill 1000 Plagueborn NPCs. Upon completion, Elgeon Silvershaper will reward you with Epic 10.0. (Need more details)
