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 combat logs, so it covers only the measured zones: Befallen, Blackburrow, Clan Crushbone, Kedge Keep, Kedge Keep - Group, Kerra Isle, Nagafen's Lair, Nagafen's Lair - Group, Nektulos Forest, Paineel, Permafrost Keep, Temple of Cazic-Thule, The Castle of Mistmoore, The City of Guk, The Feerrott, The Greater Faydark, The Northern Desert of Ro, The Oasis of Marr, The Permafrost Caverns - Group, The Plane of Fear, The Plane of Fear - Group, The Plane of Hate, The Plane of Hate - Group, The Plane of Sky, The Rathe Mountains, The Ruins of Old Guk, The Ruins of Old Paineel, The Ruins of Old Paineel - Group, The Southern Desert of Ro. 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 every faction listed. An absent zone is unmeasured, never known to be safe.

Zones with no answer

These zones have plates but no faction measurement: Najena, Lair of the Splitpaw, 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.
