Kurzicks & Luxons

Hey Guys.

This is my first time running through factions (just up to Naphui (sp?) mission at the moment). My question is, during factions do you need to join either the Kurzicks or the Luxons and if so, is one more beneficial than the other? I see people in the town areas bagging out one or the other, I am assuming they are both the same, and it's a matter of just choosing a side?

Ps. I prefer the look of the Luxon armor on the Ritualist I am running through Factions with

Cheers

you do not have to choose one or the other, just the order that you do them in. you can befriend them both by doing both befriending the luxons and befriending the kurzicks

u can switch back and forth at anytime you like. whichever u choose, that choice won't be set in stone ;-)

Ahh sweet, I never knew that. If I pick up a Luxon skill, and then go and befriend the Kurzicks, do I lose the Luxon skill or does it change to a Kurzick one?

You get both, but you can only have one of that skill.

I.E. you can't have the luxion version of summon spirits and the kurzick version of summon spirits on the same bar, but you can have the kurzick version of summon spirits and the luxion version of spear of fury on the same bar.

Read the wiki on it, it's much more detailed and coherent then my description.

I think that you should do the Luxon questline first, and maybe do some Alliance Battles or Competitive Battles (Jade Quarry/Fort Aspenwood) on the Luxon side, since you want their armor. Although you will have to join a guild in a Luxon alliance before you can do Alliance Battles, it's a better way of getting faction than doing repeatable quests (if you are good at it).

You Luxon and Kurzick skills are skills that are profession-dependant and title-based. Treat them as if they are the same skill but with different attributes. You can't have a skill twice on your skillbar (unless you Echo, Arcane Echo or Arcane Mimicry anyway), so putting one on will just remove the other.

BTW: You never "switch" between Kurzick and Luxon in-game. It's just a choice of doing other quests, being in another guild or doing Competitive Battles for the other side. And the Luxons will only ever refuse service to you if you are not rank 1 friend of them or if you have more unspent faction with the Kurzick.

To be honest, I havent really done any PvP so I don't know how I'd go.. maybe doing the quests will be a better option?
