Anyone with 40k faction Balthazai?

<p>Guess If I'm the only with this problem (if it is a problem)</p><p>With all Balthazai adventure quests done I had a faction with 22k. I start then to do some crafting writs just after they changed to more faction (750 each). After some writs my faction was nearly 30k; NPC then stops to offer me the quest. Thus, my only option to increase Balthazai faction to reach 40k (needed to buy items from quartermaster) is to kill mob for 25 point each... (400 mob eek! ) <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Is this intended or it's a bug? Shouldnt npc continue to offer me the quest until I reach 50k? Rilis faction npc in fact allow you to craft until you reach 50k...</p>

Or there's supposed to be, last I had heard. If Riliss is allowing you to go to 50k just by crafting, that's most likely a bug.

<p> It's seems a little odd if there are Tradeskill related items (like the prov recipes) that you can't possibly buy unless you do the adventure-based faction quests.  Wasn't the point of having the faction writs and special recipes there in the first place for the lower adventure-level tradeskillers that don't have the option to do all the faction quests?   I know I only needed 10k for the advanced alchemy books, but if everything else requires 40k that seems a bit unreasonable. </p>

Think I done few script until I reach the 50k cap.</p><p>I was guessing if I missed some Balthazai quests to increase my faction faster - but ok - if this is intended I'll start yha-lei massacre in fens <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
