Alliance battles, it's fun plus you get luxon/kurzick faction too.

Only problem is...dang kurzick are chickens and don't have a lot of people...dang tree-huggers!!!

Hero Battles are also statistically VERY fast Bathazar faction. I hate it though so...

Or, for a quick 1000 balthzar u can go jus outside Temple Of Balthazar and talk to the master of paths right near the gate and go to the training arena's.

Yeah. No. That's actually because the AB servers are full and you've been put into a line to be the next group to enter. Same exact thing happens on the Kurzick side...when all districts are packed with people waiting complaining about the "Luxons won't come and fight"...It's because too many people are trying to AB, not the opposite. Anet didn't ever figure Alliance Battles would be as popular as they are, I guess? Who knows.

Anyway.

Alliance Battles are a fun way to gain both Balthazar Faction and allegiance Faction depending on which side you play (Kurzick or Luxon), assuming you have access to Guild Wars: Factions. If not, there's Random Arenas (can be fun, can be hell...it -is- Random.), Team Arenas, Fort Aspenwood (Requires Factions), Jade Quarry (again, requires Factions)...GvG (unless your guild is gung-ho about it) isn't really a good way to gain Balth faction "fast", so I'd say one of the other ones. Zaishen battles have a cap on how much faction you can earn with them per day (2k), so you can always come back again the next day and do them again.

Good luck!

That arena shares the same faction cap with the Zaishen Challenge/Elite.

why does the zaishen elite stop giving faction sometimes? there isnt a 2k max because ive gotten more than that in a day so how come sometimes for the first five victories or so u dont get faction then get normal after that?

There's some sort of trick you can use to bypass the Elite cap. Maybe sometimes it triggered and sometimes it didn't.

I've always found I get Balthy faction a lot faster in RA instead of AB, but pick whatever floats your boat and do it for a little while.
