Faction points - Guild Wars Forums

Hi all

I have been playing along and decided to start developing my Necro build. So faithfully started playing PVP to get some Bal faction but wow it's slow. In two hours I managed 3200 points just enough to unlock an Elite. I tried Random Arenas (only 50 points for a win) then tried Factions Quary mission still only 10 points per hard earned kill.

So the question is, surely there is a better more efficient way?

I tend not to notice my faction increasing as a I PvP...
Mainly because I don't PvP for the faction, I guess.

I always thought it was pretty quick though.
Like after I've finished a few CMs or some rounds in RA...
I'll notice I just made enough faction to grab a Zkey or something.

Anyway, I think the fastest, most efficient way is to run Zaishen Elite as a trapper along with other players, or heroes.

You can earn 6,000 faction a day from Zaishen Elite, and it's very quick and easy with a party of trappers.

(If you decide to use heroes, it might take a bit of practice to take on mixed teams, or large teams of Obsidian Spike Elementalists without trouble.)

Try the Zaishen Challenge, or Zaishen Elite missions. Take 1 trapper and 3 sf eles and you should be able to get 6K faction in a short amount of time.

What build are you running, how often are you winning? I normally play on Double Faction weekends but you should be getting more than that.

Well I have been running my Sin build in PVP [Golden Phoenix Strike] [Critical Strike][Moebius Strike] [Death Blossom] [Critical Defenses] [Way of Perfection] [Live Vicariously] [Res Sig] I havent been getting owned in there having decent results on the whole.

I was just v suprised how slow the points were building up.....I should have done more on the double points weekends.

Thanks for all the responses I will definatly try Zaishen Challenge though..
