Benefits

• At level 20, upon gaining the first rank (Kurzick or Luxon Supporter), the following skills, which scale in power with Allegiance rank, become available from a Kurzick Bureaucrat or a Luxon Scavenger for 3000 faction point each:

"Save Yourselves!" Triple Shot Selfless Spirit Signet of Corruption Ether Nightmare

Elemental Lord Shadow Sanctuary Summon Spirits Spear of Fury Aura of Holy Might

The Kurzick and Luxon versions are considered separate skills, however you cannot simultaneously equip both a Kurzick skill and a Luxon skill.

• The first rank increases the faction cap by 5,000, each subsequent rank increases it by 1,000.

[edit] Acquisition

Transfer the respective faction points to either a Kurzick Bureaucrat or a Luxon Scavenger. Faction points can be transferred in several ways (shown in table below). Depending on the method used, the amount of faction points transferred does not correspond with the amount gained towards the progress of this title track.

Method	Faction points spent	Title points gained
Donate faction points to your guild1	5,000	10,000
Exchange faction points for Amber Chunks or Jadeite Shards	5,000	5,000
Exchange faction points for Passage Scrolls to either Urgoz's Warren or The Deep	1,000	1,000
Exchange faction points for Kurzick or Luxon skills2	3,000	6,000
Turning in Shiro's Return	None	10,000-120,000 depending on mode and pages filled
Turning in Young Heroes of Tyria	None	12,000-90,000 depending on pages filled

1. You must be in a guild with allegiance to the appropriate faction in order to transfer faction in this manner.
2. You must have at least rank 1 with the appropriate faction in order to exchange points for skills.

Unlike other reputation titles, faction points you earn don't count directly to the title. You must earn the faction points, and then transfer them. You have a maximum intial capacity of 10,000 unspent faction on your account, which can be increased as you progress through Factions. Any further faction you earn after reaching the cap is wasted, so it's advisable to spend the faction before that point.

The faction can be earned by:

• Completing quests in the factions' respective regions.
• Fighting in Alliance Battles
• Fighting in the competitive missions Fort Aspenwood and The Jade Quarry
• Playing in the faction's challenge missions or elite missions
• Through kills after receiving the blessing from Kurzick or Luxon Priests (getting Blessing of the Kurzicks and Blessing of the Luxons respectively). In the use of blessings, this title has some synergy with the Vanquisher title.
• Completing the Arborstone, Boreas Seabed, Gyala Hatchery, Eternal Grove, and Unwaking Waters missions the first time per character.
• Bribing the priest of the opposing faction to activate a resurrection shrine.
• Vanquishing zones in the Jade Sea or Echovald Forest.

[edit] Recommended point farming

• Alliance Battles
  • Alliance battles provide one of the quickest ways to gain faction points.
• Echovald Forest (Kurzick Faction)
  • Arborstone (explorable area) provides a relatively easy run to kill the four Stone Guardian bosses there, to reap the boss bounty under the Kurzick blessing.
  • Duel of the Houses is a repeatable quest in Drazach Thicket. A strong team can complete this in a few minutes and it is fully hero/henchable. Frozen Soil is recommended to make things go faster as opponents all carry Resurrection Signet.
  • Amatz Basin is a challenge mission south of Mourning Veil Falls. A perma-assassin team of three can tank all the wardens coming from each direction and divert their attention away from the kurzick refugees running past to a portal. ( Gives 25 kurzick faction for each npc who makes it alive and 50 for every 10 people. )
• The Jade Sea (Luxon Faction)
  • The Jade Arena is a repeatable quest in Archipelagos. A strong team can complete this in a few minutes and it is fully hero/henchable. Frozen Soil is recommended to make things go faster as opponents all carry Resurrection Signet.
• Vanquishing
  • Combined with priest blessings, you effectively earn 70 faction per kill (plus boss bonuses), easily resulting in gains over 10K faction from a complete vanquish.

[edit] Notes

• Allegiance skills' green numbers cover a rank range of 0...12.
• The maximum faction cap for either faction is 70,000.
• For title skills, allegiance rank translates to effective attribute rank as follows:

Progression
Allegiance rank	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12
Effective attribute rank	0	1	2	3	5	6	7	8	10	11	12	13	15

[edit] Trivia

• The prefix for each tier's title is the same as for Zaishen, excluding the last tier.
