I'm attempting to farm rank 1 Luxon and it's taking a ridiculously long time, and I think I must have missed something. The guildwars wiki says "Combined with priest blessings, you effectively earn 70 faction per kill (plus boss bonuses), easily resulting in gains of about 17,000 faction from a complete vanquish. Speed clearing is perhaps the most widely-used method for quickly earning... "

When referring to the Hard Mode Mt Qinkai run.

I'm however completing the run and only getting 20 points HM or 10 points NM per kill, resulting in only 4k/2k per run respectively give or take.

What have I missed that accounts for the other 50 faction per kill!?

----------

NM I found my answer.. For those who are curious - you must complete the full vanquish, a few mobs short won't cut it (since 50 faction per kill is given upon completion) so I've been farming all this time and cutting my run short by a few mobs that are out of the way, and shorting myself =-/

no you're not doing it wrong, 20 points is all you get in HM per kill the real stuff comes from completing the vanquish, trust me i've got 31mil luxon faction it takes a long time when you're starting out, once you've got a good thing going you're golden, if you're farming Mount Qinkai you're start at a good easy spot. 140-183 foes depending on a quest or 2 and you get 9.5-13.7k faction per run. anymore questions feel free to message me on here i'm open to questions about faction
