The company of Gnomes living and working in Solusek's Eye form this group. They are connected to the main gnomes in Ak'Anon, but this faction can be enough to be able to barter and trade with them.
You can raise this faction by killing the Kobolds in Nagefen's Lair.
Yes ogres can raise faction with em even if they r SKs...I started off scowling to em but after 1850 confirmed kobold kills (had some help with the EQ Faction Parser to keep track) I had maxed it out with the gnomes with them conning kindly to me =) Oh btw, I'm a Zek worshipper and no, I did not kill a single fire giant while I was in SolB...Hope this helps my fellow ogur brudders =p
These guys are not really connected to regular gnomes ... i was kos to them and regular gnomes to begin with, got warmly to regular gnomes, was still kos to these
I've killed tons of clockworks and have made myself so that they glare at me threateningly. Killing kobolds in SOL B no longer gives me faction with the Sol Mining CO. What do I do?
