Jade Arena or Scout the Coast. They generally take upwards of two minutes each, though.

edit: If you scroll down to the related threads, you'll find one for Scout the Coast.

Not as efficient so people do kurz. Luxon takes 2 long, but can be done. Its also alot easier iirc coz theres nothing in the way, just flag and wait.

If you're trying to get luxon faction as fast as possible, do the jade arena quest from jade flats (luxon).

Get a party full of SF eles as heroes and the rest ele and monks. Put fall back on the eles and disable the skill so you can chain it when you run. When you exit jade flats just flag the heroes along the way so they don't fight and chain fall back. When you get at the arena, cast frozen soil so none of the npcs res and use a teleport to tele to where the spectators are then flag the heroes down at the bottom. Get the quest and block the quest giver as he runs down and you should be able to get the reward within 1:20 to 1:40 of entering the zone.

Good luck, sorry about not bothering on grammar, etc :P.

They have explained, but i will do a bit further :P

Take 2 ele heroes (or any nuker you want), 1 ranger hero with frozen soil (sorry, you will have to micro it :P) and henchies to heal and deal more damage.

You should bring a fast-killing build (nuker, assasin, warrior, whatever...)

From Breaker Hollow, exit to Archipelagos and take luxon bounty from the Luxon priest (optional, for a +XX faction) and go right. You will find a standard archipelagos group: some fishes and a Irukjandi (jellyfish one).

Kill them and go up to the nearest green/yellow hill. There will spawn 3 or 4 onis, kill them and locate (pressing Alt, f.e.) the Arena Master NPC. Accept it quest and go downstairs.

When you reach a square-like place near the last stair, flag your FS ranger in the nearest square to foes (so FS range get all of them), leave him/her alone there and go down with any of the other allies.

Just kill all the foes down there while FS is on (need because monks rezz) and take reward from Arena Master NPC.

Easy as you can kill things fast on NM.

Otherwise you can do the "kurzick-like" flagging. But i think that is less boring this way (HFFF is boring to me anyway xD) and you get bit more faction per each foe (even you may get some drops rofl!).

Edit: ups, someone beated me xD

Or just AB this weekend... From what I understand (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong because it sounds way too generous to me!), if you transfer 5k luxon faction to your alliance this weekend it will add 20k to your title track!

I think... that's about as correct as it gets

5k to alliance is doubled normally.. and that is doubled this weekend ^^

5 x 2 = 10 x 2 = 20k

There is a HFFF we do in my guild. We call it the Yetti farm. You can do this alone with all Hero/Hench.

Its just outside Aspenwood Gate. You take the Lux blessing from the Shrine, kill several groups including 4 Yetti bosses, rinse and repeat.

Nets you on average 1400pt in 10min, slower yes the Jade Arena but this one can be done alone with H/H and is faster then AB.

I do this when im board and there are no FFF groups going. You also get 2-3 locked chests per run, I play it drunk, so Im working on 3 titles at once.

If you want to see the run pm me IG some time, I would be happy to show.

I know but I just thought I must have misinterpreted it because 20k onto title track for transferring 5k faction is LOADS, and they're not normally THAT generous with stuff! :-)

I agree, the flagging is just so boring! (Kinda why I hope they get rid of the micromanagement aspect when GW2 comes out) I'd just rather get my hands dirty and bash a few deranged heads together than play flag setter all day.
