Default Favorite way to faction farm?

Just wondering what everybody likes to do to accumulate faction.

I like farming the Jade Arena. It's possible with henchies, and a sure-victory if you have at least one human ally, particularly a healer. If your party wipes, you've only wasted 3-4 minutes.

But I'm just a Luxon and I haven't tried any alliance missions yet. What do the rest of you prefer?

I love Fort Aspenwood. For some reason, the randomness of teams is just addicting to me.

I too love Aspenwood. Especially since it seems I know how to play it and alot of my opponents dont.

I really love the alliance battles when I'm doing them with some buddies of mine. We have some killer builds and love dropping those minion armies point-blank. ^^

alliance battles and aspenwood are great fun, but if i want to 'faction farm' quick, i do Lut runs. 400 faction every 2 minutes? yes please.

so my favourite fun way is ab/asp. my favourite fast way is lut runs.

I love aspenwood with my monk ,either healing the turtles (luxon) or keeping the gate npc's alive (kurzick).
Althoug it is easier for luxons couz when they loose they still get around 320 faction. When kurzicks loose they get around 180 faction.
Although using cripshot with apply poisen on amber runners while on luxon side is gr8 fun aswell.

you are just wasting your efforst

as smiter, there is only one skill you need to kill the minion master... scourge healing... cast it on three or four of the minions... and watch the necro die the moment he uses blood of the master .

i also love fort aspenwood, specially now that i have new classes arriving there

With the new update, Alliance Battles definitely net you more faction than Fort Aspenwood, although at Aspenwood there is no downtime of group organization (and thus no group organization).

Fort Aspenwood..

The random teams are great, with little to no judgments about your builds…. No on rejects your class like a PvP environment...Its easy to get on a Team just enter mission... You don't JUST have to fight other people you can fight the Turtles or the Fort defenders...Also with the Randomness there is a strategy for winning that does not involve a Team Build...

I can also play my fun Smite Casting, Beast Master, MONK. And I don’t get people Rage quitting because I’m not healing or protecting.

I'm guessing you play with an Assassin, yes? I feel your pain.

I love Fort Aspenwood as well. I was able to try Jade Quarry once and liked it, but no one is ever there.

Allaince battle is the way to go IMO. They arent too long, they are timed so you dont waste forever trying to win. And the rewards for winning are decent.

I like alliance battles, provided they aren't taking 112341234 messages of "No opposing party..." to start.

I also really like the Jade Quarry, but as has been previously noted, no one is ever there. On a side note, with the faction update, the Quarry and Aspenwood have the same victory award amount. Anyway, Aspenwood can be fun when i get a good team, otherwise...meh.
