How many HFFF runs would I need to do to get SY! at a good duration (4-5 seconds). My guild is Luxon if that matters (never done this before). Thanks in advance!

P.S. Sorry, didn't know where this would belong.

Step 1. Decide what rank you want. This is how many points you require(Divide by 2 if you donate faction to your alliance or spend faction on PvE skills, as these give double points).

Step 2. Subtract your current faction points in the title track from the figure in step 1.

Step 3. Divide by 400. If you do Jade Arena, then you may get slightly more if you take blessings, so just figure that amount.

A) Move to kurzick and start HFFF
B) Wrong forum :P
C) doing ab can get you to 4 seconds in no time.

fyi, it takes 10 million allegience to get max rank. you get 2 allegiance per faction if you donate it to your guild. so, you need 5 million faction accumulated. each HFFF run takes 1 minute and you earn 400 faction. therefore, you need 12,500 HFFF runs which, at one minute each, takes 8.68 DAYS of continuous non-interrupted HFFF runs at max efficiency.

to get 5 seconds on SY!, you need rank 7 of the allegiance rank, which only takes 1.85 million allegiance, or 925,000 faction accumulated and donated at 2x rate. this will still take you 38.5 hours of continuous HFFF running. doing nothing else at all. without break.

good ole grind wars.

Meh, I just find 3 seconds enough

No thanks, I hate grinding x)

I got mine to 4s through AB, and I never really tried. Just do it on all the weekends.

If you absolutely need it fast, go kurzick and hff it. 4 seconds should only take about a dayish.

Also, should be in the Q&A forum

For a Paragon, 4 seconds is the best. You can easily keep it up with a 4s duration, and you can let it expire and reapply it quickly to let the shout ending trigger Finales and stuff every 4 seconds.

R3 is quite easy to get in AB.

R3(4s) is pretty easy to get. You only need 200k faction, and you earn an average of 1k faction per AB. Plus, AB is fun and less repetitive than HFFF, so the time will go by faster.

Also, to Marverick, you might wanna change your guild in your profile since we disbanded like two or three months ago =P

I would recommend you do a mix of AB and HFFF. HFFF is definitely faster, but it is quite boring to do for more than 1 hour (I think my record was like 8 hours, and I died, literally). Rank 3 kurzick shouldn't take TOO long. You can probably finish it in a weekend of AB'ing and HFFF'ing. If you plan on doing all from HFFF though, I recommend you go buy a few good movie DvD's and watch them as you farm faction.

That's on Kurzick side. Best way for Luxons is the Jade Arena just outside Breaker Hollow into Archipielagos. But is at least 3 times as slower, so I'd say you change to Kurzick or do a perfect team of H/H that can finish Jade Arena in 2:30 minutes or so. And still would be 2.5 times slower than HFFF outside of Lutgardis.

Meh I only do AB for this stuff, got rank 4 in less than a month and wasn't even there many hours.

Any amount of time with +100 al is pretty broken.

Zsig · Jun 01, 2008, 07:41 PM // 19:41

Assumig you're starting from scratch:

4 seconds SY (rank 3) = 500 HFFF runs

5 seconds SY (rank 7) = 2,313 HFFF runs
