This was suggested by Racthoh in another thread, but as far as I know, it hasn't been given it's own.

I, and quite a few others I've talked to about this, feel that there should be a Faction Blessing NPC at the beginning of both Urgoz Warren and The Deep. As it is these areas lack any real incentive. Sure there are a few rare skin weapons and greens that drop only there, but on an average run, you dont really make enough money to justify the time spent. If you use cons, the run will most likely cost you money.

FoW has Shards, UW has Ecto, DoA has gems. Why cant Urgoz give Kurzick faction and The Deep give Luxon faction?

i agree with u, for 2 reasons:
1 is the one u explained (no incentive to do it atm, much better do UW or FOW)
2 is that to max the faction title requires too much time also with FFF and, for sure, it becomes boring after few hours u do it so...

Give us factions in urgoz and the deep!

Yes, and give us a zashen chest to open with kurzak and luxon faction. Or at least let us buy keys with these factions too.

Imo there has to be an NPC that gives you the blessing and you should get factions for completing it.
I think that this will make the missions active again..right now it's almost impossible to get a team for it. The Deep is active in the evening but no1 is ever in Urgoz.

That would make it more worth the time, but it would have to be pretty decent faction otherwise it would be rather pointless.

Will provide another way to contribute to allegiance titles. AB and FFF is boring.

They should simply add a priest giving a Buff at the very start, but just a bounty, without the +3Regen and +35HP.

Then, bossses would give the usual extra bounty, and the final boss would give a lot of points. Something in the lines of 2500/5000 points.

So both playing without finishing it and finishing it would give points.

Completion should also give an amount of Faction. 1000 for Normal Mode, and 1500 for Hard Mode maybe. Would also be nice if the monsters in the 2 locations had a double chance of dropping Amber/Jadeite too. Since the change of either of those items dropping is so small, doubling it wouldn't flood the market.

Very good idea, there is always npc in DoA for LB blessing, why not in those areas.

Seems more constructive to be playing in groups in these areas then HFFF or something alone.

With con costs, on average I lose money on Urgoz atm. This would give a fun area a real reason to go.

I think that faction should be awarded the same way it is with vanquishing. If you kill everything, including the monsters in the last room, it should give you faction/exp based on the number of kills.

It would take 1000 enemies to hit the 10k cap on hard mode. I'm not sure how many enemies an Urgoz run kills but when you think about it in terms of how much experience a run nets...

Level 30 enemy in 12 man party on hard mode = 33 exp
1000 enemies = 33000 exp

I know not all the enemies are level 30 but pretty much everything is 28-30 and the difference is 4 exp between a level 28 and 30. According to a member of my alliance an Urgoz run got him about 15000 exp, so we're looking at about 5k faction tops. So, 10k/hour, a lot more if you've got a good group. Much better (funner) than HFFF IMO.

well 5k / hour considering setup (and most ppl finish it slower). HFF nets like 16k/ hour but makes you braindead ^^
most elite areas need to give us a reason to go there, except for the fun o.O

/signed. They might also add a small fixed faction reward when opening chest so people will want to finish it instead of just farming first few groups.
