[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Count zu Heltzer

"The Council has spoken. To prove your allegiance, you must first earn Kurzick faction by undertaking tasks on behalf of the Kurzicks. There is rumor that certain unscrupulous individuals will even sell faction for gold! When you have accumulated 10,000 unspent faction points, you will be counted as an ally of the Kurzicks. What say you?"

Accept: "I'll prove myself a friend to the Kurzicks."

Decline: "I don't have time to jump through hoops."

When asked about quest: "You have not yet accumulated 10,000 unspent Kurzick faction points, so I cannot help you."

[edit] Reward dialogue

Count zu Heltzer

"You have proven yourself a true friend to the Kurzicks. You are welcome in our lands and may count us as allies in your fight against Shiro."

[edit] Notes

• The 10,000 faction required for this quest is not turned-in when accepting the reward, allowing you to complete this quest with several characters on your account simultaneously.
• Upon reaching 10,000 faction, the quest will become complete regardless if you donate the faction before accepting the reward.
