I'm looking forward to collect at least 50 zkeys over the weekend.

Hrm...

H/H vanquishing Echovald forest. -- Disadvantage: Slow, uninteresting

JQ/AB/FA -- Disadvantage: Huge wait times. Leechers/bots. Dealing with people like this.

H/H wins again.

MQSC is back up from everything I've heard. The wallow tank was fine, and they can rework SF with some earth magic to still do the runs.

I don't know about DTSC yet, but I'd imagine the same thing is possible.

Im going for a couple of vanquish runs on gyala hatchery, nets me about 15k of luxon faction while only taking me 30 minutes to do it with heroes and henchies, a red rock candle and a random summon, on top of that it beats doing AB which is annoying and reward for if we win is pathetic.

Sucks, no MQSC. I guess JQ will do.

So I noticed on the wiki page that FA is up as zaishen tonight, is this a good way to get some extra faction? It's just that I heard the kurzick part of this is a bit more difficult or time consuming than the luxon part?

Did they fix the purple turtle yet? Because if they didn't - there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to go in a Luxon, which means you'll have no opponents, so it will take forever to get in.

(And as a Kurzick - go monk. Just to further punish the morons that go in if the turtle is still broken.

Seeing how Amber is still overpriced, it'll probably be very crowded @ FA Kurzick side ~_~
Oh well I hope the prices will drop now, I wanted to get 15k Kurzick past week but Nicholas had to ruin the fun for me ;___; (I had all the materials needed except the amber >.>)

Now that's funny!
When the arena in question is a random 8 man arena - you don't "earn" these points.
You luck into them. If you get lucky and you get a good team, you win. Otherwise, you lose.
Skill?
Takes as much skill as RA.

Mostly VQed and went up almost 2 mil.
I still stand by my suggestion that they should keep the quadruple points outside of the weekend also. The amount of playing I did, and not only that, the amount of playing I did in pretty much one area, can not be healthy. And goals set as high as this one just promote this unhealthy behaviour.

If you kill about six juggernauts per JQ session, your skill makes a difference.

Aye... I wholeheartedly agree. Repeatedly vanquished Arborstone and could only stomach doing it ~16 times leaving me still only 1/5 the way to Saviour of the Kurzicks... :-/

Repeatedly vanqing one area isn't what I'd consider fun at all, especially within such a limited time-frame, but with the title being as time-consuming as it is, I pretty much feel driven to take full advantage of the weekends. It would be nice if they'd come around a bit more often at least, or were extended to a full week, but I'd certainly not complain if they permanently buffed the points.

So I made 1 Million playing a whole weekend of JQ/FA. That's literally 250k Faction over 3 Days, approximately 100k in a full day. I made more faction in an hour before they destroyed 600hp/smite. And now they that it's 5k/10k makes it absolutely horrible. They should make PvP worthwhile or just double the faction.

Lol I've never even been in arborstone just for the mission. Tried to VQ it and since I am without any patience I got untill 250 and ran in some room with lots of statues turning into enemies. That was a big mistake

I couldn't get more than 450k faction because VQ is not for somebody with lack of patience like me :P

I was thrilled beyond words that double faction weekend finally came..... two weeks after I maxed the title at regular rate. Oh well.

I vanquished one area on Friday and ended up doing nothing on Saturday. I thought Sunday would be a great day to FA because of the Z-Quest but with everyone on the Kurzick side and the broken turtle on the Luxon side, it wait times were close to a half hour at some points to get into a match.

I had lots of characters that had some kurzick quests left in their logs.....so I spent my weekend: charting the forest, song and stone, finding then killing the black moa.....netting me only 200k of faction, (I dont jq/fa....cant handle the mind numbing boredom it). But almost made it to level 8 so it was good (and yes I wish they would just leave the double rewards in from now on)

this, got like 1 million faction out of vanquishing silent surf without going crazy into it, to think I'd have to play a week at the same pace just to get a million just seems meh, especially since it's a lot slower the mqsc.
that said I wouldn't cry if it didn't happen would just help a bit.
