Spell Vendor Faction Recovery

How a KOS or dubious character earns the faction needed to buy spells in any caster city.

Spell Vendor Faction Recovery is the cross-city playbook for getting a caster who is KOS or dubious to a city's spell vendors back into "indifferent or better" — the threshold most spell merchants require before they speak to you. The Last Camp's any-race-class doctrine means a Troll Wizard, Ogre Necro, or Dark Elf Cleric is normal — but the faction grind to get them to their preferred spell line is non-trivial.

This page collects the canonical turn-in chains by city. Most are the same chains used to buy gear or quest items in those cities; the spell vendor sits behind the same faction wall.

At a glance

Field	Value
Reward	Indifferent (or better) faction with the city's spell merchants
Quest type	Faction grind
Recommended level	10-30 (faction items level-scale loot tables)
Solo / group / raid	Solo for most chains
Zones visited	Outlying zones for faction loot + the target city
Time estimate	1-4 sessions per city
Prereqs	Survivable approach to the city (invis or sneak helps)

Reward

Speaking-faction with the spell vendor and the ability to purchase that city's spell line. Higher faction (Apprehensive → Indifferent → Amiable → Kindly) unlocks better merchant prices and removes accidental aggro from city guards.

Walkthrough — by city

Qeynos

Turn in bone chips to Sir Lucan D'Velt in North Qeynos guard tower (Qeynos Guards faction).
Turn in rose, spider silk, or jade quest items to Erollisi Marr priests for Erollisi Marr / Antonican Knight faction.
Both faction lines spill into the spell vendor faction.
Recommended for: human / half-elf / barbarian casters who started elsewhere; any non-evil race trying to access Qeynos wizard / cleric / enchanter lines.

Freeport

Turn in bone chips to Sir Lucan d`Lere (Freeport Militia) in the Freeport militia hall.
The Freeport Militia line opens the Freeport spell line for clerics, enchanters, and necromancers (Necro line is in the Academy of Arcane Sciences — separate faction).
Recommended for: any race tolerated by Freeport Militia; KOS races (DE, Troll) need invis routes.

Felwithe

Turn in Crushbone belts to Faydark Champions NPCs in the Felwithe outer ring.
Each belt = one faction tick with Faydark Champions / Soldiers of Tunare; vendor faction lifts in tandem.
Recommended for: any non-good race trying to buy Felwithe wizard, magician, or paladin spells.

Kelethin

Same Crushbone belt turn-ins as Felwithe (the cities share faction lines).
Werewolf furs from Lesser Faydark and Greater Faydark werewolves also raise Kelethin guard / merchant faction.
Recommended for: dark elf, troll, or ogre druids / rangers trying to buy from wood elf vendors.

Neriak

Canonical evil-race vendors — dark elves, trolls, ogres, half-elves, and gnomes start at amiable or better.
Other races: turn in Crushbone belts to Indigo Brotherhood representatives in Neriak Foreign Quarter (yes, the same belts work — Indigo Brotherhood opposes Felwithe).
Recommended for: any "good" race forced into a necromancer or shadow knight build needing the Neriak spell line.

Cabilis

Turn in Iksar bows to Crusaders of Greenmist in Cabilis East.
Turn in Sarnak medallions — opposes Sarnak Empire, raises Cabilis-side factions in tandem.
Recommended for: any non-Iksar caster who picked an Iksar-aligned class (shaman, necro) and needs Cabilis spells.

Erudin

Canonically Erudite-only on live; on The Last Camp the vendor doors are open but faction with Heretics of Paineel or High Council of Erudin still gates conversation.
Turn in Erudin missions (city-internal quests near the Erudin Academy of Arcane Sciences) for High Council faction.
For Paineel-aligned characters, turn in bone chips to Heretic NPCs in Paineel.
Recommended for: non-Erudite wizards, magicians, or enchanters needing the Erudin or Paineel spell line.

Final turn-in

There is no single final NPC. Each city's chain ends when the spell vendor opens conversation. From there, every spell purchase reinforces the faction; KOS regression rarely happens once you cross indifferent.

Custom race-class adjustments

The Last Camp's any-race-class doctrine is the entire reason this page exists. Canonical EQ assumed your race chose your spell line; The Last Camp does not. A Troll Cleric will always face Felwithe and Erudin faction grinds that a Human Cleric never sees. Plan spell-vendor faction the same way you plan gear — as a chain of small turn-ins layered over your XP grind.

Where a chain is impossibly long for an opposed race (e.g. Ogre into Felwithe), use Plane of Knowledge vendors as a backup — PoK sells a broad mid-tier spell selection at neutral faction.

Tips

Layer faction with XP. Don't make dedicated faction trips when you can grind faction loot on the way to your XP camp.
Track your starting faction. /con the spell vendor before you start — you may already be amiable.
Watch guard faction separately. Vendor faction can lift before guard faction; you can buy spells but still aggro on entry.
PoK is the universal fallback. Mid-tier spells without faction; use it as a bridge while you grind city faction.
Save faction items in stacks. Bone chips, belts, bows — keep a tab; you'll always have another character that needs the same chain.
Don't accidentally turn in to the wrong NPC. Cross-faction NPCs are present in most cities; reading the right faction is on you.
