Even though you won't get access to any armors from the Factions campaign, at least you will get:

Amulet of The Mists - Now they have Ceremonial Spear if you have need of a decent spear.

Access to charmable Phoenix - Being a ranger secondary will allow you to acquire this adorable ranger pet. Besides, if you get it to level 20, you can stick it in the Hall of Monuments.

Access to Black Moa - Again, like the phoenix, you can stick this in the hall of monuments. However, you do not have to level it up, since it is already 20. You just need to have the quest, or join someone who has the quest The Beak Of Darkness

Eternal Hero of Cantha - Everyone loves to be a hero of Cantha, might as well finish the game since you are that far into the game.

Oce you have completed this, you might as well finish NF and get all your heroes and possibly get nice armor. Don't forget to get the Free Treasure chests and get decent cash and items. [:

Edit: If you do not have Eye of The North, that's alright, just beat Factions. You've already gone that far, don't let Kisai down! xD

/agree

Finish the one you are farthest into, then go back to the second farthest etc .. finish them that way so you get more accomplished instead of trying to work on all campaigns at once.

personally, I find that I can rush through campaigns faster if I stick to one campaign, I don't get mentally bored of missions if I see the end in sight... this doesn't happen very fast if you skip all over the place campaign-wise

EDIT: not to mention the charmable animal, HoM stuff sooner etc

you can easily get the 10k required faction by the Kurzik/Luxon quests given in the different outposts in a couple of days.

i've advanced 2 characters through the Kurzik storyline and not needed to AB once to acquire the 10k faction. (Paragon and Necro, Sin needs to finish Sunjang dist before he starts Befriending the Kurziks) If you enjoy AB, then by all means enter it to gain your faction, but it isn't necessary to achieve the quest.

(oh, i do speak with the Kurzik/Luxon priest every time i enter an explorable. 100g will give you 5 faction for each foe killed, plus you can look into hfff to top off the 10k needed... my Para is currently hfff to increase my Kurzik title, 25 runs gives 10k faction and takes up to an hour to complete...)

Nightfall has heroes, decent Paragon greens(+10 AR, +30 shields), and treasure chests. Go for the loots. Supposedly the treasure chests reset after you defeat Abbadon.

I'd personally finish Nightfall first as you can gain access to better Paragon equipment and skills. You also get heroes aswell which will be a boost for you when you continue Factions.

Not to mention that its easier to max out the Sunspear title track than the Luxon/Kurzick title track. And perhaps its just me but i find PUG's in Factions to be the worst PUG's out of all the campaigns. It's so easy to gain levels in Factions that i find a majority of players are level 18 and still have no real clue how to play their class. Especially Monks!

Get off Istan (do the Consulate Docks mission) in Nightfall first and capture Cruel Spear if you don't have a paragon elite, as well as grab some of the skills at the Haven (some nice skills there to fill out your paragon), then go for factions. You're close already, and Nightfall is fairly long in comparison (about twice as long, if not more).

Only advantage to going at it in NF is you can get Morgan as a Hero, and run 2-3 paragon heroes as a team (which is quite nice)

Eternal Grove is rough.

I managed to Solo master it with my mesmer, What I did was planted my 3 heroes back by the trees with flags, and then went out with the henchies and attacked the turtles. You can body block the turtles, so attack them before they get into position. Doing that, and clearing them off, along with occasionaly adjusting your heroes, and you should be able to clear the mission.

Also, remember, there are 3 Jugernaughts, You can get them to follow you and help, and or set them to guard specific positions at the base. I think I took 2 and placed 1. (you talk to them to get them to follow you, and then talk to them again to set them to a spot. Otherwise, 2 of them tend to sit uselessly in the back).
