Starting with the quest Playing Along, which is given by Tracker Gekgek after you have killed Pitch, you will begin a chain of quests that will first acquaint you with the Frenzyheart Tribe and then with the Oracles. This has no actual bearing on your ultimate choice of faction so don’t panic. Just continue to do the quests until you reach A Hero’s Burden.
A Hero’s Burden
Upon completion A Hero’s Burden will allow you to begin your journey towards real reputation gain with either the Oracles or the Frenzyhearts . The quest is given by Moodle and requires the player to kill Artruis the Heartless. Artruis is a level 77 elite lich, located in the Sundered Shard which is east of the Lifeblood Pillar. While Artruis is very powerful he may be killed solo by some classes, but it is always smart to bring some help along just in case.
Once engaged, killing Artruis comes in three phases. In phase one Artruis will position himself at the back of the cave with a wolvar, Zepik the Gorloc Hunter, and a gorloc, Jaloot on either side of him. He will cast Frost Bolt, Frost Nova, Ice Lance, and even engage in melee in his attempts to kill you
In Phase Two Artruis will encase himself in ice and will turn Zepik and Jaloot against you. This is the crucial point in the fight. Killing one of the NPC’s allows you to align with the other faction after the fight. So if you want to ally with the Oracles, you would need to kill Zepik, however if you choose to ally with the Frenzyheart Tribe you will need to kill Jaloot.
Once either Zepik or Jaloot is killed, Artruis will reactivate, starting Phase Three. Phase Three is much like Phase One except the NPC that you left alive will now help you complete the battle. Once defeated you will be offered a either the quest Frenzyheart Champion from Zepik or Hand of the Oracles from Jaloot allowing you to become aligned with that faction.
Changing Factions
If at any time you feel you have made a mistake in your choice, or you have simply reached exalted and are ready to change from one faction to the other all you need to do is go back and kill Artruis. This time though you will want to kill the opposite NPC than you did the first time. Keep in mind that once you switch factions all reputation gains will be lost permanently. Also any items you purchased from the opposite faction that required a certain amount of reputation (Revered, Exalted) will no longer be useable. You may only switch between the two factions once a day.
Hand of the Oracles
Completing the quest Hand of the Oracles after killing Zepik will shoot you to Honored with the Oracles, and hated with the Frenzyheart Tribe. Upon returning to Rainspeaker Canopy, the home of the Oracles, you will find that you will now have access to daily quests which will help further your reputation with the Oracles. These quests will be the only way to gain further reputation. Three daily quests will be offered awarding around 1700 reputation.
Mystery of the Crystals
Oracle Shoo-dow asks you to retrieve the crystal defenses at Sparktouched Haven (letter A on the map) and use them to kill 50 of the nearby Frenzyheart wolvar (letter B on the map).. The chest with the defenses inside can be found inside the Oracle Village right next to the Mosslight Pillar. The best place to complete the killing part of the quest is to go to Frenzyheart Hill which is apparent on your world map, and put down your crystals near the largest group of wolvar you can find. Keep in mind that you will need to do a little damage to each of the wolvar or they will not count towards your total. AoE spells are great here. Gives 700 reputation.
Will of the Titans
Given by Oracle Soo-dow this quests requires you to obtain a Tainted Crystal from the wolvar near Sparktouched Haven (letter B on the map). Sparktouched Haven is southwest of Rainspeaker canopy and just to the west of the Mosslight Pillar. Kill Frenzyhearts till a Tainted Crystal drops. Once you have the Crystal take it to the Great Lightning Stone which is located near the Mosslight Pillar in the Oracle Village (letter A on the map). This will transform you into Soo-holu, a Spirit Beast. Then head off to Frenzyheart Hill (letter C on the map) and kill the unsuspecting wolvar until the quest is complete. If you do not enjoy using the Spirit Beast form you can also complete the quest without it. Gives 700 reputation.
Power of the Great Ones
Oracle Soo-dow requests that you charge the Dormant Polished Crystal at the exposed Lifeblood Pillar (letter D on the map). Once this is done you are to travel to Sparktouched Haven (letter A on the map) and use the power of the crystal to kill 30 Frenzyheart wolvar. Simply take the Crystal to the top of Lifeblood Pillar, and charge it. Once charged go to the southwest corner of the Basin and begin to kill the Frenzyhearts there. The buff the Crystal gives heals and also gives you extra damage. Gives 700 reputation.
