Wait a minute, wasn't it doubled already all along?

I am under the impression spending 3000 Factions for pve skill should give me 6000 to the title track in return.
Similarly, spending 5000 Factions to Alliance should give me 10000 to the title track in return.

... unless they mean this weekend we can get 12000 & 20000

Well, I guess its time to max kurzick to go along with my luxon...
Unfortunately, having factions titles seems like nothing these days, ever since the vanquishing update it only takes like a week to max, when it took much, much longer back in the days of ab.

Back then

so for donating 5000 faction to a guild, you'll recieve 20,000 toward the title?

Donate 5,000 faction to alliance = 20,000 title points.
Exchange 3,000 faction for PvE alliance skill = 12,000 title points.
Exchange 5,000 faction for Amber/Jade = 10,000 title points.

Time to stock up on the faction and revisit AB - I've been neglecting it for a bit.

This is pretty much the BEST version of the double Factions faction weekend that they do.
Will see how much I'll be doing it - but I am most definitely brining my para over to Factions today and hopefully I'll reach Cavalon to be able to start VQing.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

1. Stock up ~50k over the week
2. Wait until bonus kicks in
3. Dump faction
4. r9 Kurz

I'll get at least one level, getting to r10 would be amazing in one weekend. Put me halfway there in a jiffy.

You can also finish zquests and not hand in yet, so you stock up 50k-> exchange then accept quest rewards -> donate like 30k more

I've only ever done AB battles for Luxon faction and I'm almost on rank 11. I hope this weekend brings me nearer to maxing it.

Just wondering if someone doesn't have a monk set up for DTSC, or plays PVP what would be the best way to obtain Kurzick faction?

Hello, fellow faction-ABer. Unfortunately, we're on opposite sides. Started AB pretty late, but *crosses fingers* may this weekend give me my r8 Kurz (which I would have achieved the last AB weekend save for the fact that I wasn't free...)

How much faction do you get for a typical win in AB? (raw amount, pre- donation). I haven't played AB in a while and forgot. Just wondering how long it will take to max out Luxon from doing just ABs.

Depends on the map. From 500 for winning in your home base to 2500 or 3000 (can't remember) for winning in your enemy's home base.

1.5k for home base and equal ground (Saltspray)
2k for attacking shallow (Grenz/Etnaran)
2.5k for attacking deep. (Ancestral/Kaanai)

Any additional faction depends on how long the game plays out and how the people in the game play.

It is a typo. We're updating the text to reflect the correct figure (5k faction).

im lovin' the Drazah Thickett run! Thought i'd give it ago and theres some great people teachin me how simple this run really is, takes roughly 15 minutes and during the run i've found several golds and 1 platinum aswell. Brilliant!
I wouldn't have made the progress of 200,000 faction i have in weeks the old way. Couldn't resist spending it and will stock up again 2morrow

Boreas is also insanely fast and more importantly - easy!
I did that all the time on the last double faction VQ weekend.

Let's hope they add some synergy and make all Zquests in Kurzick or Luxon areas.

An Urgoz bounty for Saturday won't be a bad idea.

Thing is you only complete one quest...if one was on the weekend you could do it over and over....which would be awesome...but JQ was yesterday/today so doesnt look good...

Thanks for this, just did a run myself and got over 11k faction, reward for vanquish plus the shrine bonus. Took me about 25 mins, i think i can get it down quicker once i get used to the route.

I also had the quest in my log 'Return of the Yeti', don't know if this adds more bosses to the area or not but it looked that way, i could be wrong.

I couldn't wish any better synergy than Urgoz.. It's been so quiet there after they released z-things..

When i was working for vanq I took dual discord, minus one necro where i took a para with constant Fall Back/Incoming for speed boost. It gets done in around 16 minutes non-speedclear.

Heres the path:
