Required Faction for 1st two Shawls?

[Binkin]

What's the required Coldain faction to start the shawls? I can confirm that the first 3 shawls can be done at apprehensive (did that with my druid). What about dubious?

I'm asking because all those toes and heads I've collected getting my faction up are filling up my bank. And my tradeskill mule's bank. And my traderbot's bank. And by the time I get up to apprehensive, they're going to be filling every nook and cranny in the wall. If I can do the heads and toes turn ins at dubious, it would help a lot.

And I'm just stingy enough that I don't want to waste 4 toes finding out.

Anybody know?

Okay, since nobody answered, I'll answer myself.

1) You can turn in frost giant toes for the 1st shawl at dubious to the Coldain.

2) You still get a +Dain faction adjustment for this turn in. I can confirm that as of 8 Mar 2004, the faction adjustment is still there.

I'll edit this post after the patch when I can turn in the heads I've collected, but if the faction adjustment is there for the toes, it's likely there for the heads as well.

*phew* Getting my Dain faction won't stink as much as I feared. I did confirm this evening that I'm in scowls to the Dain though. *sigh*

Now, to just con some of my guildies into camping Tormax's guards some evening....

You get both coldain AND dain for every turn in. Keep in mind you only need coldain to be non kos UNTIL you ask for the device to make the thurg gate potion. She requires at least indifferent. Dain faction isnt required until the 8th shawl.

It will take an eternity to raise Dain faction in this fashion. Stick with Tormax guard camping. If you can contrive to take a faction hit from Tormax himself that will be worth more than many days of toe collecting.

I dont recal for 100% sure, but dont the giants in the 10th ring war give CoV, Coldain and Dain faction?

Heh -- I was excited because I'd heard that Sony had stealth-nerfed the +Dain adjustment out of the 1st and 2nd shawl turn ins. I know that it's insane to raise Dain faction with toes; I'm just glad that I *can* still turn them in for a little faction. Glad I didn't throw them away!

My guild is doing a ring war this week (hopefully), and I'll pay close attention to what gives Dain faction and what doesn't.
