Delslow posted a superb guide to getting all your SH factions raised in short order. The original is
here (scroll down a bit for the message), but I've reposted it here for easy reference.
This sequence runs you through a couple of parallel quests that lead to pretty much the same faction hits. This lets you double the number of faction hits per zone.

This gives you four faction hits per run, and the faction hits are HUGE. Three to four runs of this quest should let you buy and sell anywhere in SH without needing the amulet. I've run it about 15 times total (every time I guide a newbie through the quest, I do it myself too
), and I am now amiable or better to ALL of SH, I can bank or buy anywhere, and I always get best prices with 100 CHA.
