League of Antonican Bards

There is also one in Surefall Glade. She stands in the building when you zone in in the left corner to your back as you enter the door. Her name is Sivina Lutewhisper. She ask if you will deliver to Qeynos.

You can give Fabian in East Freeport 2gp for these faction hits:

Your faction standing with League of Antonican Bards got better.
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth got better.
Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got better.
Your faction standing with Ring of Scale got worse.
Your faction standing with Mayong Mistmoore got worse.

This must be the most well kept secret in the game. There is a Bard named Fabian in the Grub and Grog located in E. Freeport near the exit to North Ro. Giving him 2gp at a time will raise your faction with the Antonican bards, Qeynos guards and Knights of Truth while lowering your Mistmoore and Ring of Scale Faction.

Granted if you are KOS to bards you must have sneek or invis for this to work, but for about 120 plat worth of gold pieces (and a lot of clicking) I raised my Druids faction from KOS to Amiable.

As I said a very easy, but some what expensive way to atone for the sins of my youth.

Miniak's guide to getting unkos to Bards:

1) Level up to 59....after stupidly going kos in your mid-twenties

2) Round up a bored 58 wizzie, 54 warrior, 53 cleric, , and a couple other 55+ friends and head to Mistmoore.

3) send the warrior one way into the castle, while you go the other way into the castle (you better be a tank class)

4) agro EVERYTHING

5) bring em all back to camp, toss a small buff/heal onto the warrior so his agro also becomes yours

6) let the wizzie go nuts with AE's

7) rinse, repeat.

We did this for about 4-5 hours, killing up to 70 mobs a round. Took me from max bottom faction to dubious. So, in short, it is possible to raise this faction.....but be prepared to kill ALOT of mobs, like at least 1000 just to get dubious. Besides, it's a nice little break from grinding out 59 xp.

I have killed vhalen 3 times, and have not been able to get any faction gain, despite spending so much time in mm that it's rediculous. We had a guild raid there, killing practically the entire zone, and i'm still kos. Any suggestions?

I killed Vanhalen like 14 or 17 times, gone KoS to bards, I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO DUBIOUS, BUT........ it seems to me not all of them are on dubious. I am level 50, all the Blues and up are dubious or better (a suggestion there is actually at least 3 different factions, some con indiff) and I am KoS to the greens, no big deal but it does affect the time I can spend in a zone, eventually the little hits start to take effect on my health. I am wondering if anyone knows the other factions Bards are on. I am good with League of Antonican Bards.

Thanks,

I am a nice little Troll who tries to be a friend to all nice people. I have worked hard allover the world raising faction, and am considered an ally by both dwarves and elves, even the Barbarians like me now.

But thes Antonican Bards are anti-social psychos. I have avoided them like the plague they are as they have all conned red to me in the past. There are ways around towns to avoid the varmits - and I have becomeused to being carefulin towns.

However they don't all con red to me anymore - as many of these bards have found out. Looks like they will become good in-town experience from now on for me - I am hunting them with relish - I loooove to hunt evil which these bards seem to represent.

I do lose both KnightsofTruth and GuardsofQeynos faction, but these factions are both easy to raise as well. Killing orcs in East Commons raises KnightsofTruth, and gnolls in Blackburrow, Qeynos Hills, and Qeynos raises GuardsofQeynos faction.

So far the guards have not minded my actions in the least - I think becuase these bards are AWFUL - not like the melodic bards from Faydwer.

What about not Mayong Mistmoore hating the bards but the bards hating Mayong? And why? Well look at the gypsies, they are know musicians for example, perhaps had the bards some kind of alliance (doubtful) or just friendship with them and through Mayongs enthralling of those poor guys he made himself some enemies.

OK I went from level 10-15 killing Misty in West Karana. Now i'm KOS and I'm a cleric so there's no invis for me. Most of the responses i've seen here are an answer for higher level people, what about for myself and some other friends I hiave who are in the teens. Any idea what we can do to improve.

I too have killed Nostrolo(many times) and a Sentry(only once) as I was was walking by...big mistake. Here's my question: my faction stinks with Knights of Truth, Antonican Bards and Guards of Qeynos. There is a low level mail delivery quest in N FP which addresses all of these factions. Assuming you can charm these NPC with a strong enchanter, could the mail run be completed? Has anyone ever attempted this? I do not know of any enchanters personally so I will call on the help of the guild and give it my best. Any input will be greatly appreciated or you can reach me at Xmenfan@earthlink.net. Thanks again.

Hi all,

First I just wanted to say that I was extremely KOS to bards at one time. I'm an enchanter and even with the use of Benevolence they were still "scowling". I spent about 2 days in Mistmoore with no success. I had heard, however, that factions are best raised through questing, instead of killing. I found out that this is so. Unfortunately, all bard quests involved associations with bards. I thought for a while and came up with an idea, and it worked. I looked at the name of the faction and noticed it said "Antonican" bards. So I went to the bard house in Kelethin, under invisibility and conned them all one at a time. I would target one, run out, cancel my invis, and hit "C" for con. Only 2 were of the Antonican bard faction, both of them green.

First of all, I proceeded to Felwithe, and saw Ticar Tissleplay right inside of the zone. I charmed him and was happy to find that he allowed me to receive the letter from him, as well as my friend who was also KOS to Antonican Bards. I then proceeded back to Kelethin to give our letters to Jakum Webdancer. However, there was another "green" bard in there. After thinking, my warrior friend proceeded into the bard hall and both of them jumped him. He ran out and I mesmerized the other one, besides Jakum Webdancer. None of the other bards came, much to our satisfaction. He was levitated by me just in case he had to zone, and was SoWed as well. But no other bards came, since they weren't "Antonican" bards, being that they resided on the continent of Faydwer. After Jakum's friend was mesmerized, I charmed him and was glad to see that he accepted our letters and we got faction. After doing this about 20 times, plus or minus (not sure), my warrior friend ran inside to pull the 2 bards, but they wouldn't aggro on him. He conned them and they were dubious, so I used /assist on him so my target would jump to Jakum and hit "C" for con, and he was dubious. This took no more than 30 times to do, and only having to zone once. I was able to gate to Felwithe, my friend had to run however.

Anyway, this was how I got my faction back. Hope this helps. Good luck!
