What tonight
costs you later.

Faction moves while you are not looking. You clear a zone for six hours and find out afterwards that an unlock you had not started is now expensive, or that a vendor has stopped speaking to you. This checks that before you commit the evening.

Read the coverage before you trust a silence. The faction movement here is measured from our own combat logs, so it covers only zones we have actually played and counted: Befallen, Blackburrow, Kerra Isle, The Castle of Mistmoore, The City of Guk, The Ruins of Old Guk. Every other zone on this site is not measured, and this page will tell you so rather than return an empty result that looks like good news. What a faction is for — which races need it, which quest steps raise it — comes from the race unlock work and covers everything we hold. An absent zone means we have not looked, never that it is safe.

Seen moving, direction unknown. Guards of Qeynos, Jaggedpine Treefolk, Karana Residents, Merchants of Qeynos, Sabertooths of Blackburrow, Silent Fist Clan, Split Paw Clan — these appeared in the log without a mob we could attribute them to, so neither the sign nor the size is known. A session where the faction message and the kill sit adjacent would close it.

Where we cannot answer

These zones have plates but no faction measurement: Najena, Lair of the Splitpaw, Crushbone, Nagafen's Lair, The Hole, The Warrens. Faction data for them would come from a combat log of an hour in the zone — the same way the measured zones above were produced. Until then this page has nothing to say about them, and says nothing rather than guessing.
