So, you are thinking about betraying Freeport and joining the forces of good by becoming a Qeynos citizen? The road is not an easy one, but it doesn't have to be too hard if you take a few quick shortcuts in the path,
Betraying Freeport and becoming an exile...
You start your betrayal by speaking with Izzay (304, -3, 90) in the Blood Haze Inn in West Freeport. He will give you a series of relatively easy quests which will end in you being booted out of Freeport and becoming an Exile.
After completing the first quest in this line, the next two require it to be nightfall, so it is best to start your betrayal as night closes in on the city.
Note: Throughout this guide I have provided quest details from the EQ Wikia. These quest details will give you exact locations of where to go and what to do.
Questing Tip: You can type in "/waypoint" followed by the full location (three numbers separated by commas) to get a waypoint on your in-game map. This means you can easily copy locations out of a quest guide and paste them into the EQ command line using control-v after you've typed in the waypoint command.
- Listening in for Qeynos. This one is pretty simple. Remember that you sometimes might need to jump on top of a table to get in just the right spot. Quest Details.
- Timing the Night Shift. This is where you need to start doing the quest at night. You will get a message on your screen about being in a good hiding spot when it is safe to listen. Quest Details.
- Resetting the Militia. This one is the quickest and most straightforward of the quests. Remember to do all the steps at night. Quest Details.
- Destroy the Weapons Cache. This one is relatively straight forward. You can be sent to the instance by talking to Izzay. Cleaning out the basement of guards makes this one simple. Also remember that you first place the explosive devices, they will appear on your screen, and you then click on them to activate the devices. Quest Details.
Once you are complete, you will wake up in Haven. Talk to Scout Elrohir to complete the process and get your Call of Haven ability.
Making nice with Qeynos on your way to becoming a Qeynos citizen
Qeynos isn't going to trust you until you hit the 10,000 mark in faction, so you'll need to go from -50,000 to 10,000, and you will probably want to do it as quick as possible.
Your best friend in this process is Gil McMartin ( -927.89, -47.85, 15.10 ) who is in one of the towers in the second set of towers as you head away from Freeport. He'll offer up a number of quests from sabotage to major sabotage to hunting down and killing individual enemies.
The quickest way to do this is to do loyalty quests -- or really one loyalty quest in particular. "Extracting the Defector" is your ticket to a fast and easy Qeynos citizenship. At 5,000 faction a pop, you'll have to run it 12 times, but after the first, it's really not that long.
In order to get the Extracting the Defector quest, you will need to hail Gil and ask him what you can do to really prove your loyalty. Extracting the Defector is only one of several quests he might offer you (it's random), but if he offers you something else, just decline it and continue asking to prove your loyalty until Extracting the Defector comes up.
You'll need to be able to get into South Freeport to do the quest. If you aren't high enough to scoff at the guards, you can get there by going through the Graveyard (-1305, -78, -278) from the Commonlands, entering Longshadow Alley (-125, -17, 73), immediately enter the Thieves Way and go to the South Freeport exit by heading down the passage, taking the open doorway on the left and heading south to the South Freeport grate (-111, 0, 104).
For the rest of the instructions, check out the Quest Details.
Note: If running the same quest 12 times in a row is too boring of a task, you can break it up by running the kill tasks by telling Gil to give you anything that involves killing. These give you 3,000 a pop and are relatively easy, though they'll have you traveling to Antonica , Nek forest, etc. Overall, the Extracting the Defector route is faster, but running these will give you better experience and AA experience. If you want to break it up, only run 5 of these kill tasks. That'll give you 15k faction and let you run the Extracting the Defector quest three less times.
Very Important. When you finally reach 10,000 faction (amiable) with Qeynos, you need to talk to Gil and get a quest from him directing you to speak with Vishra in South Qeynos. Don't run all the way over there and then find out you forgot to get this quest!
(Okay, don't run all the way over there period -- use the bells to jump from Commonlands to Nek to Thunderous Steppes to Antonica.)
How to become a Qeynos Citizen
This part starts when you talk to Vishra (731.45, -21.00, 142.17) in South Qeynos just outside the Concordium Tower (i.e. the mage tower). Vishra will give you a series of pretty easy quests that will lead to you becoming a Qeynos citizen.
- Becoming a Citizen of Qeynos. This is the quest you got once your faction with Qeynos was high enough. Talking to Vishra ends this quest.
- The Fulfillment of Dreams. This quest might sound dreamy, but it is really all about garbage. You have to pick up 30 pieces outside of Qeynos. The garbage will spawn all along the highway from the South Qeynos gate up until just past the hunter's cottage. Take the fork to the right on the way back to lead to the North Qeynos gates, then head over to the South Qeynos gate to repeat until you have 30 pieces. Next, you'll need to donate 1 gold piece, but it is straight forward. Quest Details.
- Quieting Discontent. When you reach this point you are just a few minutes from being a Qeynos citizen. Talking to Vishra will take you to an instance where you just bash down a few enemies and it's over. Quest Details.
- Freeport to Qeynos - Acceptance. The last step to becoming a Qeynos citizen is seeing your trainer to get a big thumbs up and a Call of Qeynos ability. Quest Details.
Remember: Completing the last step will reset all of your skills back to Apprentice I, so you'll need to have some coinage saved up in order to upgrade your skills. You'll also have to go through the pain in the butt of putting them all back on your hotbar if you've changed classes in the exchange.
