Kurzick faction
From Guild Wars Wiki
Kurzick faction shows how much work you have done for the Kurzicks, and hence how popular you are with them. There are eight main ways to gain Kurzick faction:
- Completing quests in the Echovald Forest region of Cantha, where the Kurzicks live.
- Taking part in both of the competitive missions (the Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood).
- Playing in the Kurzick challenge missions (Altrumm Ruins and Amatz Basin).
- Fighting in an alliance battle.
- Obtaining Blessing of the Kurzicks from a Kurzick Priest outside of most cities or outposts controlled by Kurzicks, and then killing mobs while in the explorable area the blessing was obtained. Price is 100
if you are Kurzick, and 150 if you are Luxon (50 for a bribe, 100 for the blessing), and the blessing will disappear if you change zones.
- Killing monsters in Urgoz's Warren.
- Vanquishing explorable areas in the Echovald Forest.
- Completing certain Zaishen Bounties or Zaishen Missions
To finish the Protector of Cantha title, one must do both:
- Get 10,000 Luxon faction to complete Befriending the Luxons to open the Gyala Hatchery mission
- Get 10,000 Kurzick faction to complete Befriending the Kurzicks to open the The Eternal Grove mission.
Note that spending points for one faction causes an equal number of points to be deducted from both factions, so saving points from both at the same time may be inefficient.
[edit] Faction rewards
Kurzick faction can be traded to a Kurzick Bureaucrat for several things. Be aware that trading in Kurzick faction will deduct up to an equal amount of unspent Luxon faction. You may spend your Kurzick faction on the following:
| Method | Faction points spent | Title points gained |
|---|---|---|
| Donate faction points to your guild1 | 5,000 | 10,000 |
| Exchange faction points for Amber Chunks | 5,000 | 5,000 |
| Exchange faction points for Passage Scrolls to Urgoz's Warren | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| Exchange faction points for Kurzick skills2 | 3,000 | 6,000 |
- You must be in a guild with allegiance to the Kurzicks in order to transfer faction in this manner. You also cannot have more Luxon than Kurzick faction or your allegiance will not be recognized.
- You must have at least rank 1 of Kurzick Supporter and be a level 20 PvE Character in order to exchange points for skills.
