How do you rake in Balth Faction?

Hey hey all you Guru heads!

Well I'm starting to get bored with the PvE side of GW and EoTN. So I've been hitting up some HA, I'm still a HA noob with 9 Hero Points! w00t!

Just curious how all of you PvP'ers rake in Balth Faction to unlock skills.
-AB's just take to damn long... and can only earn decent faction on certain maps.
-Zaishen Challenge and Zaishen Elite there is a cap. (but I have heard you can bring a group of trappers and pwn the Zaishen's)
-FFF seems like it would take just as long as AB's


So how do you rake in all the Balth faction??

GvG is the fastest way to earn faction, providing you win.

HA can also be a good way for faction as well as fame, but again its providing you win.

TA/RA can be good too, but will be a little slower than GvG/HA, but like always, you have to win to benefit from it.

AB = horrible for balth faction

Trappers will own the hell out of the Zaishen, but youre only allowed 1k faction a day i believe.

Probably the "Fastest" way if you have the cash and dont have a guild dedicated to PvP that participates in PvP actively, would be to buy Golden Flames of Balthazar. They are usually selling for like 5k a piece and give you 3k faction.

8k in Zaishen Elite, 2k in Zaishen Challenge, so you get a net profit of maximum 10k per day.

Abit of trapping and ABing makes my day.

Yah seems likes trapping in both Zaishens is the way to go.

What kind of group do you take? 3 trappers + 1 monk?
And what are the builds?

Search the PvP forums or PvXwiki

www.pvxwiki.com

It's 6K in Zaishen Elite, and have you actually tested whether you can do both Challenge and Elite to earn 8K/day? Pretty sure that Elite just lets you pass the 2K Challenge cap to a total of 6K/day in all Zaishen zones. I'll test it later.

Trust me on on pvx every day. But nothing on what you should bring for Zaishen trapping.

I guess the UW trapping build would work.

Thanks for the info everyone!

Have a look here:

Too lazy to repost builds.

Thanks a bunch man!

Also with the faction cap on the Zaishens... from what wiki says.... it sounds like if you reach the cap in the Challenge (2k) you can't earn anymore until 24hrs EVEN if you head to Elite.

But also sounds like if you don't cap out at 2k in Challege.... and you go to Elite then you can earn a total of 6k.

Again this isnt FACT its just how I'm taking it from Wiki

Trapping is a good thing to do in the zaishen, but that requires either other players, which means you need to find people who know what they are doing.

So what I do is:

- SF ele hero w mark of rodgort and meteor shower.
- Monk hero, many PvE builds will work.
- Ranger with frozen soil, maybe EoE and 6 optional slots.
- Black spot, usually I get someone here to just leach faction off of me. But a second SF ele hero also works. Strangely things seem to go better with an AFK human than an empty spot.

Going against the illusionary weaponry team I rarely see a match last over 1 minute from the gate opening. The only micromanagement you might need to do is making sure the ranger doesn't place FS down too early, and targeting a straggler if some survive the initial AOE so that your heroes attack it.

I'd suggest you play the ranger and make sure the spirits stay up in the starting area. Let the heroes do as they please until the enemies scatter from the AOE then you attack the closest one.

I got most the Balthazzar Factions in fort aspenwood.They count NPC Kill for factions as well.

I did some searching on YouTube for trapping in Elite.

Unless they nerfed something... seems like you only need 2 trappers to get the job done. 6k every day... not that bad at all.

Fort Aspenwood is good to me in balth faction terms.

Playing as a healer in RA.

Yes very simple, play a monk in RA and don't suck.

50x4 = 200balth for kills

+50 or 100 for flawless


Do this on international server late at night and youll rake in faction casue half of every team you face will leave

RA. But that's only because I go there all the time.

gvg?

I second those who said RA.

Even without playing monk, you can try to simultaneously enter with a monk at a late hour and own or just try ur chances with randoms. I'm r4 and a half hero but I unlocked most of my skills/runes/upgrades playing RA.
