I want to know if I loose my reputation with faction, will I loose it's skill? In example - I have hypnotism, but my reputation with Order of Socrates goes bad if i will lose that skill?
Can i have all faction skills?

Mr Povis,

Once you have a certain faction skill, its yours forever, regardless of how high/low your standing goes with that faction. So fear not!

In answer to your second question, yes, you can have all faction skills. This will obviously take time, and the subject of which faction skills are better than others has been discussed at length on the boards in the past. Check these out, so you can make an informed decision on which skills to go for and when.

I hope this helps.

May I add, however, that it would be prudent to obtain your smart and charm skills first, before looking at faction skills. These are far more important to you at this point in time.

I'll just point out that you can't have all the faction skills unless you subscribe, because you need to travel to be able to work with other factions outside of NY.

Also, LCN's safecracking skill is only useful to people in agencies working on treasure hunts--which means again, being subscribed.

Thank You a lot! Especially to Daphne :)
I thought so, but I love to ask! :) See You!

How do you get Factions Skills anyways?

Apr-12-2007 12:41

You get faction skills by gaining favour with the faction whose skill you want to learn. Once you're at a certain level with them (+25) they will teach you their skill if you have enough skill points. This is covered in more detail in the Newbie FAQ, linked at the bottom of every page.

Hum i think that you cannot have ALL faction skill.. You have to choose only one between tea steepers and tiger faction skill

That is true Matteo, once you pick to go with either the Steepers or Tigers, your affiliation is permanent.

However, this would not apply to Povis since he is unsubscribed and cannot travel to Shangri-La.
