East Cabilis

Iksars do get starter armor called Curscale armor, and it is acquired by doing the Scaled Curskins quest. It doesn't work like some of the other starter armors, in that the piece you recieve is random. While this is a minor pain, the fact that the required pieces are so common more than makes up for it.

Good ideas all around, but remember how MANY people go on CRs, and that's how many travelling packs you have to provide.

When you climb to the top of the ladder turn slightly to the right and jump at an angle, the wall should cover around 3/4 of your view. It will prob take a few trys but this is the way you can get back up there. I was having the same problem and a friendly SK (that has to be an oxmoryan, LOL) told me how you can do it. Good luck.

A female clok in West Cabilis sells Water, at the small market near the tower.

You can no longer get faction hits for stacked items. If you hand him 4 stacks of 4 bone chips, you will only get 1 faction hit. It has been this way for about 3 years now, and they have no plans of changing it back. Bone chips are a complete waste of time.

nice. got my woodie druid to warmly in 16 hours

Aight listen, ignore everything he said its a waste of time like you wouldn't beleive..

bone chips? please..

go to lake of ill omen, camp "Explorers" now the only reason you would be doing this is if you are a dark elf, or someone who doesnt care about pinkie faction like Fironia Vie or Storm Warriors or Emerald Templars or whatever it is..

Anyways.. these explorers drop "Explorer Survival Knives" Loot a whole bunch of them.. when you run to the cablis zone you will see this guy named Trooper Vaurk (got his name wrong but you can't miss him) chilling at the bottom of one of the pillars. Hand the knives to him and he gives the same faction as trooper modo, but ALOT more of it.. When you kill these explorers you gave Legion of Cabilis faction which takes like 20 explorers to be not KOS .. After about 10 or so stacks of these knives, I went from kos to crusaders to kindly.. legion of cab can't get any better, vendors/merchants/bankers are all apprehensive but the necros are still kos, just kill those outcast iksar like the other guy said in the post but forget the bone chip thing if you don't care about FV faction and you will be walking in cabilis in 2 days.

Very excellent guide, wish you posted it about a month and a half earlier. I'm a DE SK and now have all factions except brood of kotiz maxed.
I got lucky and was dubious to brood of kotiz before i ever set foot in Cab. Last 5 npc's to turn non kos for me were the 2 bankers, the 2 guys next 2 bank(at fire pit) and the haggle baron. They seem to be on a different branch of merchant faction.
Also i noticed that the npc's you can buy and sell from early are the ones that sell the quest books. I always used the guy in the monk guild.

But as i stated before very excellent guide for faction.

Best quick faction guide I've seen, very good job.

Thanks for posting this!

Yes, Iksar guards default is to attack all non-iksar races, ive never seen a soft-skin in cab.... but u can raise your faction with the troopers (u kill gobs, sarnak and iksar bandits, footpads, etc.).... i have a gnome friend who has worked hard at this and now is looked at indifferently by troopers, which means they dont kos.... he couldn't find a way to raise faction with other groups in cab, like the crusaders, but there is a way.. there r quests u can do to raise faction with them... the three factions that i know of in cab are: Crusaders of Greenmist-crusaders, Legion of Cabilis-troopers, and Cabilis Residents-a few ppl in cab including one merchant (although i think he might be outside of the actual city).... there might be more factions then these but i dont know what they're called, maybe someone else will.... i cant figure out what faction all of the merchants belong to, so i dont know how to get them to not kos u (i heard that u could do some of the same quest that raise crusader faction to raise the merchant's faction but i dunno). --go to the beastiary section of this sight and search by faction. It will tell you what npc's belong to what factions, and the ways to raise/lower your standing with them-- There r other ways though.... if u turn into a wolf (sk cant but someone can turn u into one i think) you should be able to enter any town from what i hear.... or maybe if u go invis.... i've heard of softies getting into cab by raising faction, etc to do quests, but u have to watch out for an iksar hermit (he's in west cab though), dont think u can raise faction w/him and he is lv 61, so u need to steer clear of him one way or the other...

maybe someone with more exp in these matters will reply... that's all i know, sorry

This is one of the two locked doors that I've found so far. The door being described is at the bottom of the west tower with Squire Gristle on the top floor. Location on this door is +1070,-120,-24 and I've not been able to see what's behind it (but I have a rogue in the guild who's tempted to come lockpick the door).

The second door is upstairs in the Haggle Baron (if I remember correctly).

the three factions that i know of in cab are, crusaders of greenmist, legion of cabilis, and cabilis residents (might be more, i dunno).... go to the beastiary section of this website and search by faction, itll tell u all of the factions, the mosters that are included in those factions, and ways to raise/lower your standing with them....

PS- in west cab, watch out for an iksar hermit... he is in a side corridor in one of the hallways i think... as far as i know, u cant raise faction with him... and he is a lv 61 necro!!! Also when u start to fight with him it causes the guards nearby to try and kill u as well.... u can get by this guy without getting kos'd but u have to be careful.... be sure and stay away from this guy!!!
