Zaishen Challenge farming question - Guild Wars Forums

kupp · Aug 13, 2008, 12:20 PM // 12:20

So I recently noticed that I can farm Balthazar Points in the Zaishen Challenge. I take myself (ele) and another ele hero, and I always go against the Illusionary Weapon and wipe them clean in 10 seconds with MS and other fire spells.

The problem is that I made around 2k points, but after that I stopped getting points. Is this normal to prevent point farming like I'm doing (and if so, for how long), can the zaishen be farmed indenitly or is it because I left a couple of times from the game... Or what? thanks.

you can get max 2k /day from challenge And 6k overall from challenge & Elite & training area, try farm Elite and you can get more faction more easy way

You can only earn 2k Balth Faction per day from the Zaishen Challenge.
6k for the Zaishen Elite.
You can't combine these, so don't try to do both.

Quote:

One account can only earn a total of 6,000 faction per day from the Zaishen Elite. Faction earned in Zaishen Challenge or Training Arena counts against this limit. After earning 2,000 faction in Zaishen Challenge, Training Arena or Zaishen Elite you will not gain faction from kills the first 2 rounds. The third round can be farmed up to 3,000 faction, fourth round up to 4000 faction, fifth round up to 5000 faction. You can still earn faction from Guild versus Guild, Random Arenas, Team Arenas, Hero Battles, Alliance Battle and Heroes' Ascent after getting 6,000 faction in Zaishen Elite.

Alright I see. Thank you then.

You answered your own question. You can only farm up to 2k a day in the Zaishen Challenge.

Directly from the GWWiki at Zaishen Challenge

There is a 2000 Balthazar faction cap per day in this mission. Additional Balthazar faction can still be earned in other PvP arenas.

If you complete the Zaishen Challenge, and move to the Zaishen Elite, you can get 6k per day. Again, directly from the GWW:

Faction earned in other simulated PvP (e.g. Zaishen Challenge, training areas) will be deducted from the early rounds. Faction earned in non-simulated PvP does not count against this limit.

Don't bother with Zaishen except to unlock Zaishen Elite, and join a team with 2 trappers and a spirit spammer. It is very hard to screw it up. 15 or 16 in-a-row and you'll have your daily 6k.

That's exactly what I did, I was unaware that there was a cap even tough it's pretty logical. Thanks
