Quests: A Master's Burden

Non-Factions-born characters, please skip down to the Kaineng Center section below. Factions characters, you've loaded in a small explorable area. Find Headmaster Greico up the stairs and talk to him to get the A Master's Burden primary quest. Now, for my convenience, and because Kaineng Center not only is the first town in Factions where you can acquire max armour but also has a crapton of quests that give a crapton of EXP which is good because you need to get to lv 20 as soon as possible, get your butt up to Kaineng Center already! Often enough there are people hanging about in The Marketplace who will run to Kaineng for a rather small amount of gold or even for free (although you might have to ask in allchat). Alternatively, you can grab some henchies and get there yourself pretty easily. Use this map to get there, but just be careful when you get into a open area with a grey floor that has a bunch of holes in it, because really strong monsters (you'll recognise them as the Afflicted from Zen Daijun, cept these are higher level) will probably jump out of the holes and attack you. The easiest way is to cautiously enter the area and run back when you see red dots appearing on your compass. This will usually cause you to avoid aggroing the Afflicted and they will instead go after some nearby guard NPCs. Take this opportunity to run past them and up the stairs at the north end of the area (you should be able to see the stairs before even entering the area with the holes) while the Afflicted are distracted by the guards. Remember, even if only one person makes it to the portal the entire party gets to go through it, and there are no more monsters before you reach the Kaineng Center portal.
