one thing to note wrt to the VS faction. different zones had different hit levels.
case in point:
on live, many years ago:
my troll shaman hunted in kaesora several times, going from amiable to dubious. after some work in OT, got this repaired back to amiable. only some of the ghosts gave hits, but all the spiders gave negative VS hits. i cant remember if zalgoz gave a negative VS hit.
hunting in karnors was a non-issue. i leveled from 51 through 55 in karnors and went from amiable back to dubious, requiring more OT faction work. not every drolvarg gave a faction hit (depended on the type i think), only certain ghosts gave hits, and i cant recall if the hands did or did not.
hunting in charasis (howling stone) gave VERY HUGE faction hits. after about 20 kills, i was KOS and forever barred from banking/vendoring in OT (unfortunate since i would use the gate-hammer for convenience porting).
thus it seems the level of impact on faction was highest in HS, followed by kaesora, followed by karnors (not including the huge faction impact of killing venril sathir himself).
AFAIK, the only way to fix KoS VS faction was by killing Ring of Scale dragons, and that was pretty much a pipe dream because of the 5-7 day respawn on most of them.
not sure if the various DB's reflect these differing levels of faction impact, but something to be aware of when tuning your servers.
