New Targornar Crafting Factions

[sorkvir]

There are 3 factions in NT for crafting.
- Imperial Trade Organization
- New Targonar Trade Company
- Arcane Camarilla

Notes:
* No faction required to start the quests. You only need to be a level 25 crafter.

* Completing a WO for one faction, decreases your standing with the others. Each WO completed gives you +1 for the Organization you completed it for, -1 for each of the other 2, and then +10 to NT Artisan faction and Thestran Faction.

* There does not seem to be any 'rewards' yet for high faction, but I did see someone running around with a special title.

* Dropping one of the groups quests nets you a -10 Faction hit for that faction.

The Imperial Trade Organization (I.T.O.)

This Organization is staffed by former mercenaries. Although a legitimate business on the surface, they participate in several illegal activities. They are also known to bully, harass, and target the opposing trade factions.

Opinion: I believe that this will be the black market trade organization in NT. The WO's appeared to standard WO's with a few black market items mingled in them.

New Targonar Trade Company(N.T.T.C.)

This organization is the legit organization in NT. It strives to improve the life of NT by working with government, civic leaders, and community leaders. They strive to make NT a better place and are constantly harassed by the I.T.O.

Opinion: This appears to be the white market trade organization. They have a well rounded set of Work Orders with nothing that raises an eyebrow.

Arcane Camarilla

This secretive organization is focused on achieving its own ends in the magical trade department. Because of this, they dabble in both the black and white markets for their own gains. They hold both the I.T.O. and the N.T.T.C. in disdain and attempt to have no connections with them.

Opinion: The work orders are more centered on magical and mundane items. There were WO's for items such as Silk Handkerchiefs to 'Magical Armor'.

Has anyone gathered info on the Qalia factions? Also, I assume that Kojan does not have a setup like this since the capital is unavailable. Does anyone know this for a fact?

edit: Added the info provided by Shinto. Keep it coming

Further information on the New Targonor Trading Company:

Note: I already had 150 faction prior to the previous patch (which changed the requirements), so I don't know when these now become available.

The NTTC gives a quest (level 29-, 150- faction; I don't know exactly) that asks you to complete three WOs. In exchange, you receive a ring that adds 16 to Refining. That quest opens another. The second quest is for joining the NTTC, which becomes a mixed reward. You gain another ring, this time with 19 Refining, along with 100 faction. However, you can no longer do work for the other companies (though whether because of faction or just locked options I don't know).

This, along with several work orders, pushed me to 300 faction. I have not yet seen any new quests from the NTTC. I have been told that the ITO has a similar introductory quest that rewards an earring, and I assume that the AC has a similar arangement.

updated it with more information

Wiki wiki wiki! :P

[sorkvir]

Ok, I only need one more piece of info before this gets wikified.

Does anyone know the title you get for joining the I.T.O.? If you can get me that I'd greatly appreciate it

[Sigurd]

*NOT THE ANSWER*

"Waste Management Consultant"

... just popped into my head and couldn't resist.

[Tekken Longbow]

Imperial Tradesman is the title you get.

[Stuby]

So is it posable to do the first quest for the I.T.O. and the N.T.T.C. before desiding what one to join?

[sorkvir]

Yes. But you'll have to live with the faction hit. You'll be looking at aboutish -20 or -30 faction when you're done.

With the groups +1 faction increase PER WO. And an incredibly slow refresh on WO's (I've timed it somewhere about 2hrs), that's a very large hole to get out of.

Also, honestly? You can always go to Ahgram and do the crafting factions there to fill out all your jewelry

If you do all three intro quests, you will end up with -7 faction for each organization. (+10 for the quest, +3 for the WOs, -10 each for the other two quests.)

In light of the fact that there are only three known quests for any one of these organizations and the highest requires 200 faction and several more levels than the others (secondhand information), it doesn't seem so bad to do 7 extra WOs. That is especially true when you consider that the "join" quest gives 100 extra faction. A couple of good jewelry pieces seems worth the price of doing 107 WOs over the course of several levels. You will do as many for exp, anyhow.


Edit: By the way, the refresh on WOs is based on doing other WOs. Instead of looking for a timer, when you run out just go do 6-12 WOs from a different taskmaster. If you experiment with the number of WOs you do away from the trading company and come back when they are just starting to refresh, you can see that when you take one, another will appear.
