Welcome to my 100% Shayzien Favour Guide.
This guide covers the fastest way to get favour, which takes under an hour to get to 100%, as well as the perks along the way.
20% Favour
Gaining Shayzien Favour is important for a number of reasons. Having 20% favour is a requirement for the Tale of the Righteous Quest, which rewards you with the history and hearsay page of the Memories Book.
This unlocks unlimited teleports southwest of the Shayzien House bank.
100% Favour
Getting full favour allows you to access the Lizardman Canyon Sharmans,
as well as Tier 5 Shayzien Armour, which provides 100% Protection from the Poison attacks of Lizardman Sharmans.
The Shayzien Helmet 5 can then be combined with a Slayer Helmet after completing the Elite Kourend Diary. That allows you to stack the boost of the Slayer Helmet with the rest of the Shayzien Armour set.
Items You Will Need
This is what you need for the fastest route. You will need 5 full stamina potions, at least 43 Prayer with around 50 Combat. You will also need a few Prayer Potions, some food, armour, and a decent weapon. You will specifically need a Melee weapon as well to obtain the Shayzien armour sets.
To begin earning favour, you will need to make your way to the most eastern tent in the Shayzien region.
For this part, I recommend having only the Stamina Potions and the rest of your inventory free. There are a lot of ways to get here – like using the Kourend Teleport Spell – but, the easiest and most accessible way for most accounts is buying a Skills Necklace and going to the Woodcutting Guild. Once you are at the tent all the way on the eastern side, make your way slightly southwest to the small tent filled with Med Packs. Grab an inventory full, and go back to the main tent.
In here, there are wounded soldiers – both on the ground level, and upstairs. The soldiers that need a Med Pack are the ones that are lying down on the ground. By using a Med Pack on them, you get 0.1% favour. You should closely watch your inventory, and use the next Med Pack as soon as the previous one disappears from your inventory. Also, working in this formation will slightly speed it up, since there are less tiles to run between.
In total, you will need to use 400 Bandages on the soldiers to get all the way through to 40% favour. This is actually faster than cannoning Lizardmen in the Canyon, which is another common method unlocked at 5% favour. I only recommend cannoning Lizardmen if you are going for Xeric’s Talisman or if you want to AFK your favour. I do recommend getting Xeric’s Talisman if you do not have it already, and it will help a lot with traversing around Kourend.
Once you are at 40%, you can partake in organised crime, which is the fastest way to get 100% favour if you follow the method I am about the show you. These are meetings of gang members and a gang boss, which rotates every 30 minutes. For this part, you will need your armour, weapon, food, Prayer Potions, and a Stamina Potion.
So, firstly, you will need to make your way to Captain Ginea,
who stands in the tent east of the Shayzien Combat Circle.
After talking to her and finding out what is wrong, she will give a hint at the location of the current organised crime.
If no gangs are active right now, you can go back to healing people with the Med Packs, or you can work towards getting your Shayzien Armour set, which I will talk about soon. At the end of this article, I have linked the Wiki article that shows all of the screenshots of all of the locations,
and once your find and make your way to the location, you need to hop worlds to find which server region is currently active. So, you need top hop – for example – from a US world, to an Australian world, to a German world. Basically, the organised crime activity happens at the same place on every world, but not at the same time. So, you need to find the region that is currently active.
So, keep hopping through until you find a group of gang members and the gang boss. Put on Protect from Melee, and target the Gang Boss, since sometimes they do not use Melee. Once you kill the boss, you get 10% favour. Then, killing each gang member gives 2%.
The Boss and members drop something called Intelligence, which is really worth picking up and trading in for XP at the end with Captain Ginea.
The gang members also drop a lot of noted items – very handy for Ironmen, especially the huge amount of Planks. Once you finish one world, you need to hop to another world of the same region, and if no one else has already killed them on that world, there will be another full group of gang members.
From 40%, it will take 3 – 4 gang fights, so, 3 or 4 worlds, to get to 100% favour. If, for whatever reason, you cannot find any gang members on any worlds, there is a good chance that the world has rotated. So, you will need to go back to the Captain, and check where it is.
While the goal here was to get 100% Shayzien Favour the fastest, you are actually better off only going to 84% by doing your decided method, and this is because getting the Shayzien Armour reward requires you to kill Shayzien Warriors, which give 16% favour in total on the way to Tier 5.
To get the Shayzien armour set, make your way to the Combat Ring in the Central area on Shayzien.
You need a Melee weapon, and I recommend Prayer Potions, a Super Combat Potion and food. You also require 20 Defence in order to partake in the Combat Ring activity. So, firstly, speak to the Tier 1 Shayzien Solder, and he will duel you to a battle. Upon defeating him, you will get a piece of Tier 1 Shayzien armour. The only way you can move onto Tier 2 is once you have a full set of Tier 1 armour, and that trend will continue through to Tier 5. Killing Tier 1 – 4 soldiers will get you 16% favour, and then at 100% favour, you can kill Tier 5 soldiers and claim the 100% Protection armour set.
If you are a level 3 account or an account with low Combat Stats, the fastest way to 100% is actually to use Med Packs on soldiers. It is a lot faster than killing Lizardmen, which also give 0.1% favour per kill, and by just using Med Packs, it will take a little over 1 hour to 100%.
If you are a higher level and have the Dwarf cannon, you can kill Lizardmen, as I mentioned earlier, for the Xeric’s Talisman, or for AFK favour. Getting from 5% to 100% killing Lizardmen takes approximately an hour and a half. Even if you do not have a cannon, or you cannot afford one, I would still recommend getting the Xeric’s Talisman by killing Lizardmen normally, because it will save you a lot of time transporting down the track.
So, overall, the fastest route is to get 40% with Bandages and Stamina Potions, and then complete organised crime to 100%. It is worth stopping at 84% if you want the full Shayzien armour set. Anyways, that is my complete Shayzien Favour Guide.
