I know that MQSC (Mount Qinkai) is around, for farming luxon faction.
I'm coming from a luxon point here as I am luxon myself.
Recently I have seen this on PvX.

And was wondering whether you could do pongmei seriously quick with 2 Wallow teams and 1 yeti team.

EDIT: They split 1 Wteam clockwise, 1 counter clockwise, and yeti team goes for various yetis situated around the place.. Would probably start from Boreas.

Your thoughts on this please

Thanks.

Sounds like a bad idea tbh, afaik it isn't technically a "luxon" area, so you wouldn't get the vanquish faction bonus. Also due to the shape of the map you can't split as effectively to vanquish faster.

it is luxon, and from south you are garanteed to have a luxon shrine.
I did some tests on this zone already, before roj fix.
But it is hard to get better results than MQSC : less/~ faction points for more time.
100b on 600 looks fun

About pongmei, without checking, if i remember well, faction is rediculous, not a lot of foes, and huge explorable. So probably not even worth trying.

not only that but starting from boreas you have the whole area oustide the gate full of oucast, then the kraken floating around, naga all over the place and then the defunct palace full of luxon...take a lot more than 12 min or less with the standard MQSC.

Ahh ok so it would be worse faction:time compared to MQSC then.

Does anyone else do MHSC and is it easy to get a team? I went to an american district last night and there was hardly anyone there, is there one of those things that just needs time to kick off or has it been around for a while and is generally unupopular

I think the MHSC is pretty new. Most teams I've done it with were just alliance mates, and it's pretty much impossible to just pug it for now, unlike MQSC, as there is usually few people there. But if you do it properly it nets you quite a bit more faction and can be done in 11-12 minutes. The only problems are that mistakes by one team tend to lengthen the vanquish more than in MQSC because it covers a larger area, and that most people just MQSC for faction anyway.
