Yep thats what im doing today. Im at 53k on my title, i would like to make decent progress today toward my 100k goal.

Sword · Jun 18, 2007, 09:27 PM // 21:27

this title is still ridicolous ... 10 million is an insane of amount of repetive farming

Surely there are people out there with R12...not many but there has to be at least a couple. I'd actually like to see how many people have hit R10 and what sort of dedication of time/effort that would take to reach. In the absence of insane PvE farming spots on par with Sulfurous Wastes or the Stygian Veil its gotta take a long while of doing nothing but farming faction.

As an example if you ran just nothing but the arena on the Luxon side @400 per you'd be looking at 12,500 trips to hit 5 mil, 25,000 to hit 10 mil. I can't see doing that many trips to anything for the sake of maxing out a title. It even puts it far above lucky/unlucky and those titles are at least afk-able.

Yeah when i was ff'ing today i saw a r10.

But i would rather the priest points count toward a different title that the skills would be linked to, like a factions version of sunspear.

the max is 10 MILLION? Figure, FFF nets you on average 1,000 points every 10 minutes (probably a bit more, but weighing in some bad runs). 10,000 points for 100 minutes, 100,000 for 1,000 minutes, 1,000,000 for 10,000 minutes, and 10 million for 100,000 minutes. 100,000 minutes is about 70 days of 24 hour farming. If you farmed 6 hours a day, it'd take you 280 days to obtain max.

I generally farm Altruum Ruins in hardmode for Faction. You run up the hill avoiding the double group. Kill the wardens to the right and the others on the bridge. Luring one of the bottom groups in. Kill the other bottom group. This is 21 wardens. Go up the path to kill the Necro boss, we have had his green weapon at least 3 times. The 4 extra's in that path get you your 25 before the boss. After the necro Kill the ele boss and go thru to kill the monk boss. 10 minute for 1000k. There are additional things you can do like go into the temple and kill the wardens plus the Ranger boss. Never had him drop his bow. So for another 5 minutes about another 500 faction. I want to try Eternal Grove but find Altruum to be quite adequate and never in the hands of the Luxons.

Unless there has finally been a nerf, the quickest way would be with the Kurzick repeatable quest, I believe there is a specific team build required.

IMO this is an exploit really, seeing as it is impossible to do the same with the Luxon equivalent quest, and it entails doing the quest in a way never intended.
I believe this was used widely by Kurzick guilds to hold House zu Heltzer.

This kind of run doesn't work with the Luxon equivalent quest? After visiting the 4 areas and then collecting the quest does the quest not list those areas as visited?

I was not aware the Luxon's were at this disadvantage.

This is a good guild farm as you take 8 players, 4 runners and a door man and three hang abouts - you get 8 * 400 kurzick to feed the ever diminishing Alliance. 10% a day really sucks. Luxon is hard to farm, even getting the initial 10k to get to Gyala Hatchery is a pain in the fundimental orifice.

But I do not have that many people I play with regularly. So Arborstone is where I farm sometimes.

First, do all your bounty hunting in Hard Mode. It goes twice as fast. Second, find a spot that has a bunch of Bosses clustered reletively close together so once you have 25 kills, you can nail one boss right after another and collect several bonuses all at once.

Arborstone has 3 bosses near the Altrumm Ruins door, just to the left.

Eternal Grove has 2 bosses near the door to Vasburg Armory, and another 3 clustered not too much further away.

Morning Veil Falls has 4 bosses near the door to Durheim Archives. The Ritualist Boss can be difficult on Hard Mode though.

All of these locations can net you 1000 - 1750ish Faction in 8 -12 minutes fairly consistantly.

Or, you could do Team Lutgardis Runs for 400 faction in 1.5-2.5 minutes, depending on the skill level of your team.

Or, you could do the Braur Academy Duel of the Houses quest for 400 faction every 2.5 minutes with Heroes/Henchmen. (480 Faction in the same time if you choose to go Hard Mode with the bounty active) I reccomend a dual Searing Flames Hero Setup for this. The Duelists tend to bunch up a lot.

lol, that's how I would define grind...boring and repetetive and still for some reason I feel obligated to keep doing it...Hating every minute.

Wow, after reading that Lutgardis build...a designated "door-runner". GJ Anet...G...J...

It's definitely an exploit but I would do it if i were Kurzick.

Nothing beats Kurzick FFF or Luxon Jade Arena runs (with a good build, you can do Jade Arena in 2-3 minutes), however I can imagine doing them repeatedly for more than an hour.

Hard mode boss runs are good because you can get some good items too. I use a There's Nothing to Fear + Save Yourselves + They're On Fire paragon for those (makes any boss in Factions fairly easy).

People have listed some good Kurzick sites for HM boss runs. I have done Boreas Seabed (3 bosses: Sskai, Geoffer, and Milodestus) for Luxon, but I'm looking for some other good Luxon sites.
