From the "Well that took long" deptartment: new FFF

Luxon Adepts in Zos Shivros give 100 Lux faction a kill. They spawn alone, and stay that way for 60 seconds.

Here they are. Kill them all, the team gets 600 faction. A rit with the build below has absolutely no trouble with it, the only problem is that rits that get too close together cancel each other's spirit.

So the challenge to you is to find a few more spiking builds that don't rely on spirits to get a really fast and easy 600 faction with 6 players.

The difficulties: They have wards. They have Maelstrom. Conditions and hexes expire very very quickly on them. They have natural regen. After 60 seconds waves of baddies start spawning between the adepts. If you can avoid the waves, the priest will die without support anyways.

The build I used:

[vampirism][anguish][bloodsong][wanderlust][summon spirits][painful bond]

A running skill makes the build faster, Agony is nice for a slightly quicker kill, arcane echo is good if you're worried about the hex expiring, and warmonger's weapon is good for getting rid of Maelstrom and Wards, but thie above template is all you really need.

We managed to kill 'em all with two rits with the build above, and an assassin and warrior who ran amok and took all the aggro away from us and the priest. It took us under 4 minutes. If 6 players could get spiking builds of some sort, I reckon it could be a 1.5 minute, 600 faction farm without need for aggro control or priest protection.

After revisiting, we might be able to get away with 3 rits without a'sploding spirits for at least the first kill each. I would still like to find a second killing build to make the farm as fast as possible. The awesome power of Guru forums is eagerly awaited.

Or you could just use your your wayback machine and employ methods that were published 16 months ago.

With the doubling of blessing rewards that happened 2 weeks ago you'll get 20k/hr from it - probably more considering all the GWEN power creep from PVE SKills and PvE buffed normal skills (like FGJ) since then. Totally H/Hable too.


Edit: Just went through and read that thread and if dual person farm Batou's still works that would push the rate up to 36k/h

I'm pretty sure Gony was talking about lux faction, and that link appears to be for kurz faction.

This seems like it could be a viable farm, maybe there's something that could be worked out.

Vanquishing Silent Surf = ~17k in 25-30 mins
much better IMO

First this is slower then the Arena Farm thats done now, Second there have always been slightly faster then the FFF quests but people chose to do them because buying the blessing costs 100 gold and trhe quests make you 150 gold.

4 min runs at 600 per run and spending 100 gold per run you get 9000 faction in an hours and spent 1.5k. Doing the arena farm you get 12k an hour and amke 3.75k so this faction farm is simply useless.
