Do I see it correctly that massacring the undead in Asterkarn does not give faction reputation with any faction? They certainly don’t with either Kurn or the Rovers. While it makes sense (they are not Bloodbound, hence no Kurn rep, but they are also not Arkovian undear), as far as I can tell, if it is so, that makes them the only enemies (and a rather group at that) that give no faction rep.

I have a feeling it may change in the future to make rep grind easier. Who knows, maybe they will give Rover’s rep just because they are the undead and Kurn rep because they were their enemies when they were alive. But, for now, no rep.
Of course, if it does, then any undead in Cairn should give Rover’s rep. In the tooltip, it may just say undead vs. Arkovian undead?
Then again, I haven’t played FoA in ultimate and there are two factions there. Beavertons and Dranghouls. Maybe those undead provide rep for them?
I have a feeling Crate still has plans for them, especially since they haven’t rolled out the 2 roguelike dungeons or the second wave of blues to be awakened.

Ultimate-only factions? Curious. Any idea how those work? I can’t see any faction gear for them on GrimTools.
Back on topic, I think it would make sense if defeating the undead gave Kurn rep, as you’re placating their dead, similar to what you’re doing for the quest that Veilwalker Utaro gives you (only he specifically asks you to placate their heroes).
Nope. No idea. I haven’t done FoA content on Ultimate yet, just Norm and Elite. However, I am curious as well. Then again, I haven’t decided which character I want to take into Ultimate difficulty. I have a few lowby character that I want to level up also, so it may take me a while. Good to know that new/fresh content waits for me in the future.
It would and I still think it will later on. But, I don’t see that happening any time soon tho.
What factions are those?
From what I understand, 2 factions that are available in Ultimate mode. But I haven’t done FoA content in Ultimate mode yet. So, I haven’t unlocked either one.
In Grim Dawn, “beaverton rep” refers to your standing with Kastorran (beaver) NPCs, which is part of a hidden/secret questline in the Fangs of Asterkarn expansion. This reputation is tied to the “Got Wood?” quest, which is only available in Ultimate+ difficulty and is not part of the main story. That was a copy/paste from a quick online search.
Dranghoul rep is tied to Kurn rep and doing the prerequisite quests. The farthest I have gotten in the Dranghoul questline is retaking Bloodbound Bastion in Elite mode. So, I don’t know what the next step is. I tried looking it up online, but the AI is really horrible and very unhelpful. I am sure, I could find the info somewhere in this forum, but I can wait till I get to the content.
Soooo you really need to stop trusting AI, because it confidently makes complete crap up. There is no separate Dranghoul rep nor beaver rep. They aren’t another faction, not even like Asterkarn Undead is (defined but can’t earn any).
Dranghoul quests are tied to Kurn rep and end (currently) with retaking Bloodbound Bastion.
You need to collect wood for the beavers, but calling it “rep” is an extreme stretch.

the Dranghoul quest also arent’ Ultimate exclusive, just regular Kurn faction quest at XY rep stage, just like all other factions have on all 3 difficulties.
Kastoran NPCs interaction are Ult exclusive because it’s part of the secret quest similar like Lokar and Crate quest (you dont’ consider those ghosts a faction either right?)

Gotchas. Here I thought it was an exclusive thing and there was rep to be grinded only in ultimate. Anyway, it works to my advantage since I am still in no hurry to do any ultimate mode content. I still have a few low level characters that I need to get to level 100. Plus, I need to make an Aegis of Menhir Werewolf because that sounds absolutely bonkers bananas. Well, not as much as a poop throwing werewolf, but up there.
Edit.
What about the level 94 purple medal Howard’s Marvelous Pendent that turns you into a wereduck? Ultimate mode only?
