this means you have more kurzick then luxon faction either get more luxon faction or get stuff from kurzick guy in house ze heltzer and zero both of them out then get more luxon faction

That doesn't work for donating

In order to donate faction you will have to be in a guild aligned with the side you are donating to. So you can only donate to one side at a time. Unfortunately, when you do so, you will lose the faction for the other side. You can buy skills, amber/jade and scrolls without having to be aligned (though you will still lose the faction for the other side and do need to have more unspent faction for the side you are getting rewards from than for the other). But to donate you must be aligned.

um im pretty sure that does still work even for donating since the faction updates. I tried this a few times after a kurzick vanquish and couldnt donate my luxon faction. luckily y luxon factin cap was higher than kurz so i could just max it then doante fine.

Nope - doesn't work. Just tried it today to see

if you are not in a guild you are told they don't have time to talk to the likes of you.

If you are in a guild of the opposite faction or a non-aligned guild you are told to ask your alliance leader to join with the luxon/kurzicks.

You can get a guest invite to a guild to donate, I believe.

You can use the guest invite to get skills for some lesser-played characters to still get the double title gain

This is true. And I guess if you were going for the title you could hold one slot open to constantly remake a toon so you would essentially have no limit on the amount of title gain you could get. A little more hassle than just being able to donate but workable.

ya I realized this recently because I always was a Kurz and have more kurz faction but I cannot donate it anywhere since my guild/alliance is luxon now so I'm stuck with kurz faction ( even tried the guest invite )
It would be nice to let increase the alliance faction or just donate kurz faction to NPC if you're in a lux guild.
