Faction

In EverQuest, Faction is a measure of how much a population or group of NPCs like or dislike your character. Various mobs and NPCs belong to faction groups. Some belong to multiple faction groups. Every player starts out with various levels of like or dislike with every faction group. They may be different depending on your race and/or class. Killing mobs and completing quests can change faction levels. When you Consider (/con) NPCs and mobs you will get a message. The message relays two things. The first is the NPCs attitude toward you. The second is how tough the NPC is compared to you.

Faction Standing

Faction standing refers to the level of friendliness a character has with a certain faction. A new character starts at designated, specific faction levels with all factions in the game world. The player can alter the character's standing through several methods, such as by killing certain monsters and/or NPCs or by completing quests. There are many faction groups that are diametrically opposed, meaning, that a raise or lowering in a given faction with automatically raise or lower the opposing faction.

Example: Killing an orc in Crushbone
Your faction standing with Crushbone Orcs got worse. Your faction standing with Storm Guard got better. Your faction standing with Faydarks Champions got better. Your faction standing with Indigo Brotherhood got worse. Your faction standing with Emerald Warriors got better.
