it isnt the hardship that is the concern... it is the fact that i probably need another 2K bones lol That's several hours or maybe half a day of farming!
Paineel Newbie Area is very good to farm bone chips. Kill skeletons and lock down their respawn spots. Took me like 2-3hours of farming to get maxed out faction - now that you can stack 1k bonechips pr. stack i'd say even faster.
