Zaishen Elite

Zaishen Challenge has a 2k daily cap so it's not very good.

Running a bot in RA seems a popular way

But seriously it depends on the time you have to spend and if you can get a team together. TA is pretty good if you have 4 people, otherwise you are probably stuck with RA. AB and HvH are too low faction per kill. HA is very good but you might find it hard to get into a team if you don't play it a bit and they might need some skills you don't have unlocked. GvG is not really fast compared to HA.

Well RA never works for me...i do solo zaishen (iway warriors) on my rt and ele, i was just wondering if there was a faster way.

Zaishen Elite has a daily cap of 6k, and takes about 15 minutes.

Of course, once you hit the cap, you need to figure out something else.

If you don't have a half-decent PvP guild, RA is probably the fastest.

Wow, you are wanting something *faster* than Zaishen?

I'd hit my daily Zaishen cap, then hit RA. If you have a good day in RA, it has huge Balth Fac rewards. If you have a bad day, you'll be banging your head against the wall. Get a good build, then see what you think of it. It's certainly not for everyone.

When did it change to 6k the Wiki still says 2k?

Zaishen Elite is different, it has a 6k faction cap if you can keep up consecutive victories. The 2K from other zaishen sources still counts against it, but there's an extra 4k to be made. I put how it works on the talk pages, maybe they were deleted by now, and obviously never incorporated into the article.

Edit: OK well they were deleted or lost, and there is misinformation floating about on the 6K. Here's the deal.

All the zaishen/training areas have a daily cap of 2K. Zaishen Elite is limited like this too.

But for every consecutive round in ZE from the third victory to the sixth, your effective cap there is raised by 1k.

So on third round you can get faction up to 3K, fourth up to 4K, fifth up to 5K, sixth up to 6K. 6K is the absolute limit, and you can only earn this in ZE, and you only get it in the consecutive victories. IE if you earn 5K faction from a winning streak and then wipe, when you re-enter ZE you will get no faction from matches 1-5 but will start getting faction on the sixth match.

With the right hero build it's pretty easy to get 15-16 consecutive victories, which gives you 6K. I use a trapper, Melandru's Resiliance monk w/frozen soil, and two SF with meteor shower/glyph sac. There are probably more efficient/reliable builds but that should get you started.

You can still repeat the training that you do to unlock RA right inside the GoTB explorable area.

also limited to 2k, faster to do zaishen

zaishen elite is the fastest, even more then very high level GvG.
Hard to fail at it as well, just roll a ranger and make sure you already unlocked some traps and spirits.

Divinus Stella · Apr 01, 2008, 05:31 PM // 17:31

You get 2.5k balth per win in gvg, then extra ontop of that for kills on NPC's and players.

Also if you play an automated tournament you get reward points, 15 reward points gets you a golden flame which is another 3k faction.

Never tried zaishen before but im pretty sure its not as good.

Hi, my name is Zaishen Elite, the idiot-proof Balthazar Faction Farming Method.

Check the PvE farming section. I moved all the Zaishen elite farm builds there.

Oddly enough, this works often. I'm not kidding
