I have 10,000 Luxon and Kurzick, but... - Guild Wars Forums

...when in a Kurzick town, they won't serve me, but when in a Luxon town, they do. How do I get the Kurzicks to serve me ?
I have exactly 10,000 of each Faction.

You need to have more of one than the other, i.e. more Kurzick than Luxon to get the Kurzicks to deal with you. Complete the "befriending" quest for each then spend it, trade it in for amber or jade.

How did you get 10k of each? Hmmm, I suppose you quested for one side's faction and did like AB's for the other?

Unfortunately when you trade in the faction for one side you will lose an equal amount for the other. You shouldn't accumulate faction for both sides at the same time. You should always trade in the faction for one side before you switch.

My monk finished the game from the Luxon side after aquiring 10,000 Luxon..then went and did the Kurzick missions/quests and got the 10,000 Kurzick...so now all my chars have 10,000 of each.

He could have done any quest or Ft. Aspenwood or Jade Quarry or whatever - all except AB's from the Kurzick side, that is unless he had a guest invite to a Kurzick guild.

To OP: Buy Amber with your 10k faction and sell the amber - it is worth more than Jade. After you clear both factions down to zeio by obtaining 10 amber chunks, do one quest or bribe a kurzick priest at a res shrine and you will then have more Kurzick faction than Luxon, and the Kurzick NPC's will talk to you. The reason the Luxons will talk and Kurzicks won't when you have equal faction is because your guild is aligned with the Luxons.

I would keep both at or close to the 10,000. this way makes it easier for your other toons. They wont have to do the befriending quest for that 10k for either side and can speed up the game...if that is what you want. otherwise, yes cash it in for ambers/jades

Very smart idea. I've been doing the same thing. Just buy 1 amber / jade and bribe a priest for the tiny faction gain when you need to sell to one side or the other. Once that starts getting expensive you can run a few repetables or AB and then sell the 10k down again by 1k.

What's this about bribing the sacred position of the clergy? Blasphemy?! Heretics?! Tell me about this blasphemous heresy, it sounds like fun.

Swinging Fists · Oct 24, 2006, 09:36 PM // 21:36

Anyways, when do you need to sell to one side or the other ? If I am on the "wrong side" I simply map to somewhere that I can talk to an NPC, or even better for me, my guild hall. The NPC's ignoring you really don't pose much of a problem. The inability to resurrect in foreign territory... that's a different story.

For a mere 50 gold a Priest at a shrine will offer his shrine's services to the enemy. Its a quick way to farm or quest in areas on the other side.

have your Guild Leader make your Guild allied to the Kurzicks.

Shadowfox1125 · Oct 25, 2006, 05:06 AM // 05:06

If you have the same amount of faction for both sides, it depends which side your alliance/guild is allied to.

VGJustice · Oct 25, 2006, 05:57 AM // 05:57

Honestly, if you have 10k faction on both sides, I'd asume that you could just cash in 1k for some Jade/Amber and that *should* tip the balance in the favor that you want it to go in. And if that doesn't do it, a quick run through one of the challenge missions will get you that 1+ faction you need to actually tip the balance.

Just my thoughts on the situation.

Do you read any of the posts in a thread or just the topic title?
