Took 12 times doing Recoup the Coup plus who knows how many aviak kills to get to allied.

Circle of Divinity II is a great spell but unless your cleric summons food and drink a lot, be prepared to work on CONJURATION in order to be able to use it. At 236/325 my cleric fizzles about 12 times out of 13 trying to cast this spell!

Another interesting piece of info, for what it's worth: I did this camp boxing 6 toons. For the most part they ALL were together the whole time doing the faction work. But I only did the Recoup the Coup quest with my cleric (12 times) and my wixard (4 times.) I checked faction regularly because once I got to warmly I was getting damn sick of killing these birds. The cleric was almost done with the 12th time when he needed some supplies so I took a break to gate him back to Camp Valor. Pleased was I to find he had jumped to allied! I finished getting his last drop for the 12th time, figuring I could use a little extra XP. Ran the whole group to Camp Valor to do his turn in. Lo and Behold I discover the entire group is now allied.

If that's the case AT BEST the cleric doing the quest 12 times means he gained a handful of kills worth of faction over the rest of my group. Because I couldn't possibly have killed more a dozen or so aviaks to get his last drop after confirming he was already allied.

On this basis I would conclude that this quest gives a TRIVIAL amount of positive faction (like many the equivalent of one extra aviak kill), although this does seem to contradict other posters.

My cleric has done RECOUP THE COUP 5 times as well as spent several hours of faction killing all at "warmly." He's still warmly. That last jump to allied is TOUGH!
