Just FYI, You do not need 1k faction to get infection. Only need 1k faction to finish quest to get wereform. I was infected with approx 450 faction. You will get the popup as you approach your tail quest giver. He was tell you that he needs to speak to you about somthing very important. Once you have 1k faction, go back to quest giver and speak to him again. Tell him that you do not want to hunt lions any longer and then speak to him again to get the last part of quest to gain the ability to change form
Or... once you get the faction , tun in the tails that you have, and then delete the quest. This will prompt the last part and the final mob that you must kill.
As far as having a high lvl in your grp... example, keep the high lvl friend in grp while searching for the mob, when you locate a lion, drop grp and kill it w/o the high lvl being in grp. Infetion is XP based. Kill the mobs that are closest to your lvl. If you are going to be in a grp, try and grp with people that as close to your own lvl as possible. As i said, infection is Xp based. I was a lvl 30 warior and was soloing gators with a 60 cleric on the outside healing me. I found a lvl 30 shaman that wanted gator form and we grped up. We hunted and killed for about 3 hours and was able to get infected.
I read a post a while back by a guy that stated that the gator that infected him dropped a uncommon stack ( torn gator hide), the second me and the shaman killed a gator and that one stack dropped, We ran and checked and sure enough we were infected. Ask around, there may be a particular item that drops on a lionwere that will let you know that you are infected. Once infected, get as many high lvls in your grp as possible and have them kill kill kill. You are now infected so who cares about the xp, you just want faction. If ya haave any other questions just let me know....
