Kurzick faction

Kurzick faction is a representation of the efforts you have made in support of the Kurzicks, and by extent your reputation with the Kurzicks. Your current amount of Kurzick faction can be seen on the faction tab of the Hero panel.

Acquisition

There are seven main ways to gain Kurzick faction:

1. Completing quests in the Echovald Forest region of Cantha, where the Kurzicks live.
2. Completing the Arborstone, Eternal Grove, and Unwaking Waters missions the first time per character.
3. Playing in the Kurzick challenge missions (Altrumm Ruins and Amatz Basin).
4. Killing foes in Urgoz's Warren.
5. Obtaining Blessing of the Kurzicks from a Kurzick Priest outside of most cities or outposts controlled by Kurzick, and then killing foes 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; you also gain Kurzick faction for the bribe), and the blessing will disappear if you change zones.
6. Vanquishing explorable areas in the Echovald Forest.
7. Trading in Imperial faction.

Faction rewards

Kurzick faction can be traded to a Kurzick Bureaucrat for the following:

Method	Faction spent	Title points gained	Notes
Donate faction points to your guild ("Raise Alliance reputation")	5,000	10,000	You must belong to a Kurzick-allied guild. A character can create their own guild for this purpose.
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 skills	3,000	6,000	Your character must be a level 20 roleplaying character that is a Kurzick Supporter (rank 1)

Spending both faction types

Spending points for one faction causes an equal number of points to be deducted from both factions.

• There is no way to simultaneously farm both titles.
• Although sometimes you have little choice, it is always inefficient to simultaneously collect both types of faction.
• Some players will collect 10,000 points in both types in order for a character to complete both Befriending the Kurzicks and Befriending the Luxons quickly.

Faction cap

The faction cap is initially 10,000, and can be raised as high as 70,000 by completing various achievements. A Kurzick Bureaucrat will list the missing achievements when asked about "Raising Kurzick Faction cap".

Achievement	Faction cap increase
Complete Befriending the Kurzicks	10,000
Complete Unwaking Waters from the Kurzick side	7,000
Defeat Urgoz	10,000
Score 100 points in Altrumm Ruins	1,000
Score 100 points in Amatz Basin	1,000
Win a match for the Kurzicks in Fort Aspenwood	5,000
Win a match for the Kurzicks in Jade Quarry	5,000
Win an Alliance Battle for the Kurzicks	5,000
Achieve rank 1 in the Friend of the Kurzicks title track	5,000
Each additional rank in the Friend of the Kurzicks title track	1,000

Notes

To finish the Protector of Cantha title, you must do both:

1. Get 10,000 Luxon faction to complete Befriending the Luxons to open the Gyala Hatchery mission
2. Get 10,000 Kurzick faction to complete Befriending the Kurzicks to open the The Eternal Grove mission.
