Faction requirement for Shadowhound quest

[Necros]

Can anyone help me with which faction is required at the Northern Border part of the quest where you turn in the trap?

There are several 3-dot 40s that are kos to me (goblin). Also, what is a good mob to grind out the required faction?

Thank in advance

The "Gardens of" something-or-other will give you the needed faction. Mid-upper level teens, 3 and 4 dots. You only need 200 faction to get the quest, but you only get 1 faction per kill.

Also note that I hear you can invis up to the quest mob and hail him to begin the quest.

Confirmed, that's how I did it. It's the only place in the whole quest line I had a faction "problem" as a dark elf.

Awesome - thank you guys

I found it just as easy as an orc to just quickly hail him and get quest then run away. No need to build faction if u can take a couple hits. Also i am a ranger so i just used sneak to get to quest giver and it gave me the first quest but crashed me to desktop when i cam back i was unsneaking however i had that invulerability buff on me so i just stood there and got quest. My friend who plays a goblin necro just put his pet on the one that attacks and got quest then took off. I was also able to root down the guard one time.

I also just used invis to accept the quest. I'm a Paladin (no invis), but I use the Invis Carvings that you can buy on the exchange. Worked like a charm! If you can't invis or take hits, then I recommend using this approach.

The actual room where the quest giver resides is non aggro iirc, its just gettin there thats the pita. I had a little oopsies so grinding the faction was looking grim but sneak saved me!

Is it a bug that KOS npcs will still give you quests/rewards? Ive done most of southwatch, and am still kos.

Personally seems like a bug this whole step is in the Shadowhound quest. I think it was originally part of the unicorn quest and either added by mistake or on purpose to the hound quest. We have basically the same exact step to do next given by an evil faction npc. There is no similar step in the unicorn quest.
