Lowest Character to Ever Clear Factions?

While making money today, I got the ridiculous offer to run someone through Imperial Sanctum...in OVER 5 minutes. For 5K. Naturally, being mildly price competitive, I offered to do it for 2.5k. (Hey, I rarely have over 10K at any time, so it's enough for me). Wondering why, I asked them, and they pointed out their low level: 8. They wanted OVER 5 minutes so that they wouldn't get anything but the minimum reward.

So does anyone else know of anyone clearing all of Factions, including Shiro, at 8/86%? Just wondering if they broke the record that they were hoping to.

or upto a year ago one of your guildies could map to Guild Hall from wherever (say Domain of Anguish), add you to the party and then map back so you had a lvl 1 in DoA

been seen too many times to be anything special

liked this players idea of doing all missions slow as possible for the minimal reward though

Well, I haven't exactly been around the block as long as everyone, but I was just kinda wondering if anyone had seen someone else do that. Do I think it's like, this great achievement or anything? No, but I thought it was nifty.

And obviously they had someone run them through the game. I helped. :/

And I'm fairly certain that getting to Ring of Fire isn't at level one isn't as impressive as getting the extremely mission-heavy Factions as level 8.

How2dothat? Not without somehow cheating the system I guess.

You need to accept quest rewards for at least two quests (Defend and Restore) in FoW before you can craft armor as far as I can recall.
Not to mention you need to do an ascention mission which also gives XP.

So you have at least 20K experience from the Forgemaster quests alone which will get you at the high side of level 6 or early 7 depending on previous experience.

whatnow?

Is he going to try to "complete" all 3 chapters, and remain as low as possible level wise? Has anyone attempted that?

Well since it's been bumped semi-recently, here's another since nobody has said anything about this - character is wearing Elite Canthan armor, meaning they'd already beaten Factions before this screenshot.

Basic point is that we don't even know what the experience level was at the end of Factions.

Edit: I'm an idiot, screenshot was taken in Divine Path, meaning they could have made the armor and then taken the shot. Feel free to point and laugh.

Just for kicks, I'm going to run the #s and figure out the minimum possible exp required to beat Factions =). I'll do it later and edit.

I haven't seen anyone doing it in Factions since you can't avoid a lot of XP, on the other hand Proph is the best at avoiding XP... i have seen a lvl 2 Warrior playing the drums on Hell's Precipice outpost

too bad i can't find the screen shot though i think the name was Lil Stich or something :/
