What's now the best faction gain method?

One major issue regarding HFF was always that the automated nature of it made it very VERY Bot-able.

Amatz, if run by 3 permas and 5 leechers, though a gimmick, is still all real people. I'd imagine the Sins charge the leechers? So everyone needs to be semi active. I can't see it getting nerfed.

Assassin player + 2 Assassin Heroes.

You can make sin hero maintain SF easily. You don't even need specialized bot software. Flags + Mouse-click macro.

FOR KUR pople these are the numbers you get

urgoz between 10k to 15k
vanquishing 20k to 30k Morostav Trail bieng the better of any 28k faction inabut 25 min

then you have basin about 10k every 15 min

the you have shiros book take bwteen 6 to 8hours to do hm you get 120k
thenyou have the noob island book take bout 4 hours to do gives 90k points

so the fastest way is Morostav Trail vanquishing

far easyest would be basin in alotof poeples eyes in mine it is Morostav Trail vanquishing

this is a false statment

how it work its you get40points per kill and then you get 50points for toal of monsetrs killed

so if a area has 209 foes 9 of them being bosses

you will get 250 times 9=2250
then you willget 200 times 40=8000 foir allkills not bosses
then you take 209 times 50=10450 for all foes and vanquishing bonus

so total number is 20700

this number is not a part of the weekend event at all if they would do double faction forlux/kur weekend then you would get at least 40k for vanquishing

a weekend liek that would be worth it liek a double kur/lux weekend again liek we had a month ago that everyone hfff'd allweekend

i think you all may have to redo your thinking on what's fastest faction farm after the weekend. everyone got double faction for vanquishing this weekend. it won't be the same amount of points on Monday as it was on Sunday.

BTW: this thread is not about balance and imbalance with regards to shadow form and imbagons.

I think that the blessing of Kurzicks only gives +20 per foe killed excluding bosses in HM not +40 so the amount of faction is less than that

Man, I could have sworn I clicked on a thread about gaining faction quickly.

My bad.

Now that the weekend event is over I'd guess Ferndale vanquishing.

The fastest is boreas seabed for the luxons, takes 25 minutes for around 15k faction. The fastest (vanquish) in kurzick in drazach thicket, its about the same as boreas seabed. The only thing that seems to be faster is amatz basin which is like ~10k faction more per hour.

This is a joke, right?

Twenty eight deleted posts because you people clearly do not understand what the topic of this thread is. Enough whining about SF/SY crap, this thread is about faction.

do deep in 20 mins over and over again

/win

There was a Warden 55 Monk or SS Necro farm that could net quit a few factions now. Doubt it is as fast as some of the other methods posted but a good way to build up golds if the area drops haven't been nerfed.

You're mistaken. Normally, in HM, it's 20 points per kill plus a bonus 50 points per kill once vanquished. This past weekend, the bonus was 100 PPK. Bosses give an additional 250 faction once a certian amount of kills has been reached.

This is correct. The weekend was awesome, some friends of mine probably got 1/2 million each towards the title by vanquishing the hell out of places.

I did get from 20k in luxon to 550k in luxon just by doing like 6 times boreas seabed vanquish (which netted 30k faction a time, which is 60k in the title because of the weekend), and doing jade quarry. Faction gain has much increased since the update, and now the ways are actually fun to do!

And as for the Basin farm, it isn't that fast. It takes time to get a group (unless playing with guildy's), failure is pouring a lot faction down to the drain. I guess its about the same faction gain as vanquishing drazach thicket.

Urgoz is still a pretty good method because you pull in a decent amount of faction per person and if you have 10 people (generally some positions are better played by heros imo) the faction builds up and you have a big spike in faction for your guild.

My vote would go to Aspenwood and Jade Quarry.
Maybe not the fastest, but the rewards are good now and it's much more fun than those farming or FFF runs.

Nah, there's no leeching at all. General setup is 4 permas, 3 "chargers," and one Fallback/monk. Each charger is at a refugee spawn, and [Vocal was Sogolon][Charge!] to speed up the refugees. Fallback/monk is at the shrine, catching the refugees with ["Fallback!"] and making sure they make it.

Imo, i could be wrong tho,the fastest way(grind, boring, Argh) is the amatz basin challenge mission,basicly what u need is 1 assassin ,2 assassin heroes
and to run the perma sf build,then bind your hero skills and yours to the numpad so for ex:when u press 1,4,7 it activates[deadly paradox],2,5,8 activates[glyph of swiftness],3,6,9 activates[shadow form].All u have to do is go to your position and start renewing shadow form till the time expires

i gained around 10k faction after that run in 21 minutes ,take note this is a mindless and boring way of gaining faction.
Other form of gaining faction that imo is quite fast is vanquishing and can be done with no cons and in averege times of 1 hour,1:30h depending on your level on experience and skill,and if go with people or using hero/henchman.Problem with vanquishing is that it gets tedious after a while, its fun to do all echovald forest once ,twice on 1 char but it gets boring after that.If u get help form guildies and employ pve only skills,cons and such u can achieve really fast times for example i had a 30 minutes clear on eternal groove with a physical heavy team.
Other way to be considered are the story books but i found them inferior to vanquishing or hffing in amatz ,reason being :u need all 13 misions in hm in Cantha for 120k faction points reward towards title(note that its points not faction and it will go directly to your title) so that it may take up a good couple of hours,while vanquishing 2,3 areas can already net u 60k+which doubled trough donation is 120k.Therefore imo storybooks are inferior.

Fort Aspenwood lol. Only if you expect to win each round.

Fort Aspenwood might be good if they put more servers on it so you can play the damned thing.

No opposing party my ass.
