Factions You Have Ruined

Please help me with the following project:

Have you ever accidentally killed a banker or a healer or a random NPC somewhere in your life that has ruined your faction permanently with no recourse but to petition and wait?

If so, please reply with the faction or NPC name or enough identifying info to let me know, thank you.

I DO NOT MEAN faction changed for quest purposes (paw, giant, dragon, etc). Only slip of the mouse woops everything is ruined faction errors. THANKS!
 
This happened to at least a few people back when undead tunnels in remnants were farmed heavily:

Neck back to sadri after done farming
Forget you have skelly illusion on
Sit down across the bridge
Green con sadri citizen aggros you and dies to pet/DS/riposte.
 
Underhill citizens/guards

So you kill a few dozen gnomes and suddenly they all hate you.

Unless I'm mistaken, which I easily could be, there isn't a way to get back to non-kos with the gnomes in Underhill once you hit scowls.

Not that it's a big deal or anything.

Sadri faction can be fixed by ingame measures for years now. This is a bad example.
 
My monk Zawrlith is kos in sadri from accidentally killing a citizen in a similar way. Hes also irrevocably kos in oggok because several years ago(4+ at least, possibly more) I thought it would be cool to see if I could kill a guard, lowering both the "Denizens of Oggok" and "Oggok City Watch" the problem being with oggok that there is no way in game(at least to my knowledge) of earning back out of kos. Because of this I am unable to do the mielechd key quest.

I one shot auto riposted something from the rogue guild in Newport and from then on the merchants at the South Newport docks wouldn't sell to me (dubious faction).
 
I think that between the mielechd key and oggok having a gateneck now, it would be cool if a quest or questline to reset your faction similar to the newport or sadri malath ones that already exist would be cool, or possibly a universal way that lets you choose out of all the base cities a single one to reset.

I guess I didn't really understand the aim of this thread then, sorry.

Ruined sadri faction isn't permanent, so yes, I think you didn't understand the aim of this thread.

If you have certain illusions on, they bum rush you and you can repost kill them. I was doing, i believe, the althuna aug quest fight and it happened...
 
Posting to add emphasis to this fragment of the original post: "... ruined your faction permanently with no recourse but to petition and wait" So yes, reparable factions are interesting in other contexts but not perhaps in the context of this thread.
 
My necro is KoS to Athica because my brother (a toddler at the time) decided to charge in and say "i want 2 kil the weak green mobs!".
I realize there's a quest to fix the faction, but seriously... You have to learn two different ridiculous (and for the most part, useless) tradeskills just to fix your faction...?
This reconciliation quest needs to be looked over, or at least maybe people who have messed up faction could have it restored. You shouldn't have to spend well over three days learning baking so you can fix your faction when you can fix newport faction in about an hour picking up crops.

Incoming newport faction quest nerf. Hope you feel like leveling blacksmithing, bitches!
 
I am KoS to Halas, I do not know how I lost the faction but I was surprised that I did. All attempts at raising faction via newbie quests and whatnot have failed, and I know of no way of reconciliation.

Not sure if it counts but the caster guild in newport is a real stickler outside of two bounties (that are pretty negligible hits).

I would second this. I don't even remember exactly how I messed up this faction (I think I killed an augur by mistake with a damage shield in Athica B when they were first being implemented), but I believe this problem plagues most if not all of the caster guilds, as killing an NPC from one guild yields negative faction across other cities' caster guilds. This has made it impossible for me to make use of many augurs and has also resulted in some unexpected ambushes when I would mosey through the various cities, even including Oggok's MoP area IIRC. There is no practical way to repair this faction that I am aware of despite having hunted down all the info I could from the wiki at the time. I've since given up, but I'd love to have an opportunity to redeem myself.

An example NPC on this faction would be ENC guildmaster Harland Idrovo of Southern Newport, though I cannot recall the exact faction name.

I might also mention that, as far as I can tell, not a single one of the three hilarious "Newport Cup" quests for ENC / MAG / WIZ contain even a single boost to caster guild faction. I did these quests a long time ago myself, but it might be a decent place to put in at least a little positive faction so that a person who commits a "crime" like I did would have something of a faction buffer before being made KoS to the whole guild!

I like you man, but the way you describe this issue makes me wish I could witness it happening to you lol!
 
I took over my friend's sk (Keeto) at level 28, and he was already KoS to oggok at that point. (I stepped out of the mop, and got to re-visit my bind in Athica) I know he did many of the grobb sk quests and such, and something in there must have dropped his faction (just not sure what). I know it wasn't the MQ hammer part, as he hadn't worked on the MQ at all. As I mostly used him as an adept toon, I just learned to avoid the place. I don't know of a way to repair it at kos, as you can't turn in the tal'yan heads when kos already.
 
i believe i ruined my underhill faction doing the entropy questline by killing a guard that i aggroed via proximity on Faylahs but i am a bit hazy as i did them some time ago.
 
Arcane Academy, killed the healer in SNewport with one spell on accident and well, now I can't buy mod rods.
