I know a few people who are going to be VERY HAPPY to see this one come around! I might even look for a guest invite to a luxon guild just for the LOLs of boosting that title up a bit.

The double bonus is for your title only, meaning you get twice the credit for your title when exchanging faction, not twice the faction from the sources.

Also: gogo maxing luxon this weekend

Ugh.... and I played all that FA last weekend.

TIP: Stock up on faction now
Since this weekend gives double points for donating (instead of playing like most double faction weekends) you can store up faction this week and then wait to turn it in the moment the event starts.

its been a while since this came around, so 50k of faction will count as 200k toward title right?

Just for clarification, I'm assuming this works like the EotN weekend where the faction for books will be unaffected, and they didn't bother to update the thing since they released Factions books.

Either way I'm excited, should definitely at least hit my r10 Kurzick and make a decent dent into 11. Did just turn in 30k last night though

Good thing Ive kept JQ and FA zquests for a while now

Also, does the double title points also apply to books? I know it doesn't say so, but you never know :x

Come on Luxon

While everyone is hoping to max titles, Ill be happy to reach r3 XD

It doesn't apply to books. Books "give" you points directly into your title, they don't actually give you faction.
Since this is double for donating faction, it won't apply to books.

Yup, DSC'ing all weekend for me, it's my last title to GWAMM.

Also, it's in plain english what's going to be given double points. Why even ask about books? It's never given double points to any books at all. Jeez people.

best tip is to fully exploit the AB Zquest today and stock up on the faction for the weekend

Not like most people need to stock up so early. Just do a few speed clears for luxon or kurzick faction day or 2 before the event. I am at rank 8 kurzick, hoping if I farm enough I can get maybe rank 10 or atleast put a good dent in it.

Who knows if I finish kurzick ( not during weekend but in the near future) I may go farm up mqsc's for luxon faction.

Can't believe doing 2 dtsc is gonna equate to like 120k kurzick faction donated. 30k faction donated= 60k then doubled again is gonna be 120k. 10 dumps for 1.2 mil faction is pretty easy to get.

Just hope there will be enough good pugs or alliances needing dedicated random people to farm with.

So what rank/ amount of faction is everyone starting with and hoping to end at?

And NOW I'm getting sick of playing too. GREAT... but I think I might skip it rather than waste the time or energy doing something I don't like. We'lls ee.

I need something cleared up. When they say that they are going to double points for titles, does this mean for every 5,000 Faction donated to the alliance, then you get 20,000 points added to your allegiance title (double of what you normally get)?

Yes, you would get 20,000 points.

Love these weekends. Double kurz is epic win. Now to top up my stored faction. Got a 60k max cap right now I need to fill. I'll probably get round to doing amatz and altrumm missions as well since that's all that's left I can do to do to raise my max cap except by leveling my kurz title.
