Faction

From EQ2i, the EverQuest II wiki

Faction is your reputation with a group of people/mobs in game, such as The Ashen Disciples or the The City of Qeynos.

You can view your standing with all factions that you've encountered, by opening the Persona window and choosing the Factions tab.

See the Factions category for a list of all known factions.

[edit] Ranges

Faction is split up into ranges of 10,000 point blocks or tiers of value. Any value in that range is considered equal

		50,000	max ally*
40,000	→	49,999	ally
30,000	→	39,999	warmly
20,000	→	29,999	kindly
10,000	→	19,999	amiably
0	→	9,999	indifferent
-9,999	→	0	indifferent
-19,999	→	-10,000	apprehensive
-29,999	→	-20,000	dubious
-39,999	→	-30,000	threatening
-49,999	→	-40,000	scowls
		-50,000	max scowls*

* being max on either end does not change the meter, but does sometimes mean something different to the game.
If a walkthrough says you need 'ally' faction, but 40k+ doesnt work, you may actually need max ally.

[edit] Favor

Favor with your Deity is stored as a "Faction" with that deity. see Favor for more details on obtaining and spending it.
