Mods, please add something to the sticky about the way faction works. If you have more Kurzick faction than Luxon faction, you can talk to and trade with Kurzicks. If you have more Luxon faction than Kurzick faction, you can talk to and trade with Luxons. If you redeem faction for either side, it takes faction away from both sides, so it's better to accumulate and spend faction for only one side at a time.

I was wondering, if my guild is alegned Kurzick and i want one char to be Kurzick and the other to be Luxon, will this affect my gameplay? Like, not being able to become Luxon, etc.?

If your guild is aligned with one side, the only thing that means is that you can only do alliance battles for that side. Plus, you can only buy favor for your alliance with that faction (in hopes of accumulating enough favor to control a town).

As far as your character being aligned to one side or another, the only thing that really matters is as I mentioned it before. If you have more favor for one side over the other, then you can deal with that faction. Otherwise, they will ignore you. You can temporarily "align" with one side by acquiring faction for that side. Then, you can easily "align" yourself with the other side by doing quests for the other side. A common practice would be to to get faction for one side to get either favor your your alliance or jade/amber if you're not interesting in controlling a town, then get faction for the other side to only get jade/amber. As I warned before, spend all your faction for one side before gaining faction for another side because you lose faction from both side when you redeem faction.

Ok, thats kind of what i figured. Thanks for the help.

sorry for the noob question but...

unlike at chapter 1, you don't get skills (not the elites.. i noe you have to cap them) as rewards from quests? My character is canthan born (ritualist) and so far i've only been getting exp, gold and commendations from quests. i just did the Convocation Mission (where you need to kill a big purple giant squid - luxon mish) and haven't gotten a single skill reward since Shing Jea Island.. are you supposed to buy the skills.. as in all of em? im at 1000 per skill now and i don't wana spend any more -___-

Yes, you have to buy them all. Anet's reasoning is that it would cut down on 'cookie cutter' builds and that people would be free to experiment and use whatever skills they wanted rather than being limited to a certain set of skills until you reached the end of the game.

Yes, no matter what you or guild are aligned with, you can always access both capitals. Simply because you can take both Journey to Cavalon and Journey to House zu Heltzer and enter Cavalon/Hzh.

IF your guild is Luxon, you can still be a Kurzick but that just means you wont have faction to contribute to guild.

Scroll up and you'd see that I already answered that question before.

Sigh. It's like somebody doesn't want me to do the Welcome to Cantha quest. The person I should be talking to is not there at all. Can anyone tell me specifically who I should be talking to to get the quest and where this person is?

Thrawn Foxheed · May 25, 2006, 02:08 AM // 02:08

Welcome to Cantha, well assuming you are a Tyrian Character otherwise you won't need Welcome to Cantha. Start off at Lion's Arch, take Mhenlo's Request from Firstwatch Sergio, at the end of that you should be at Benkunjan Pier (or something) and Mhenlo + Friends should be there, then you should get Welcome to Cantha :\.

At least that's the way I remember it.

I never had a chance to play in the preview events so I have a question...

How does one go about gaining faction for their respected side (kurzkick or luxon)? Do you gain it by completing missions/quests/alliance battles or what's the deal?

moko · May 30, 2006, 06:40 PM // 18:40

aye, ive just registered and got a question as well which is bugging me for a while now, i cant really seem to figure it out.

ive finished the quest befriending the kurzicks, explored the whole area, and basically done everything there. due to various reasons, id like to explore the luxon land as well. i know i need to do stolen eggs for that, but to get that quest i need to do befriending the luxons, and here comes my problem, i cant get befriending the luxons. elder rhea just wont give it to me. :/ i joined a random pug whose teamleader had stolen eggs, done the quest with them, hoping to eventually end in gyala hatchery as well, but the whole team left leaving me behind.

so im stuck not getting access to the hatchery. :/ what should i do? get the 10k luxon faction without quest and maybe rhea will give befriending the luxons to me or something?

id appreciate any help on this, and i hope i havnt missed it in this topic, was reading it in a bit of haste.

thanks in advance!

Thrawn Foxheed · May 31, 2006, 11:48 AM // 11:48

Don't know about that one :\. From my experience, my monk had finished the game going luxon and I wanted to explore the kurzick areas. When choosing Journey to Cavalon or Journey to House zu Heltzer, i picked both, resulting in access to both capitals. From my experience Befriending the Luxons is only given after claiming reward from Elder Rhea for Journey to Cavalon.

My solution would be to visit Jamei in Maatu Keep, take Journey To Cavalon and then talk to Rhea again? If not then.. well it might be a bug :\.

moko · May 31, 2006, 12:09 PM // 12:09

yep, that was the one. someone just messaged me in game telling me the exact same thing, so i tried and i got befriending the luxons from rhea. my problem was, that when jamei first gave me journey to cavalon, and i came there, i abadonned it without getting the reward thinking id end being a luxon. so yay, now it works. thanks a boatload!

*goes to get faction so she can continue hunting titles*
