Team Trials "Abuse"

The Team Trials are the couple of battles "The Guide" in the Great Temple of Balthazar gives you a quest for. They're very easy battles against 4 Henchmen, and are easily beaten (even on your own, since you'll get 3 Henchmen yourself if you don't enter with a 4-man team).

It's very easy to get Faction through these battles. You can only gain Faction once on each character with these battles, but that doesn't stop much. You just make a PvP character, finish these battles (620 Faction when everything is Flawless, which is quite easy), delete the PvP character and make a new one. And it's only about 5-10 minutes

It's not a bug or anything, but in my opinion, this should be changed. This way it's way to quick and especially easy to gain Faction. Also, this is easy to make a bot for, since you're fighting these low AI enemies.

i think its ok, coz u cant get anything thats really worth something...

I'm pretty sure that faction from NPC killing is capped at 1k per day.

It is. I do this every so often, just to help clear out the last set of unlocks I need.

Never knew Pardon me, this might as well be closed.

And it's still slower than PvE unlocks, at any rate. Oh, how sad the grind.

on this same note i came up with an ele build that can solo the IWAY warriors in the Ziachian Chalange, takes about 1.30 per round so at the max 20 minets to get that 1K faction. faster then random arena but very borring.

So you're saying unlocking every max Weapon upgrade is faster in PvE then it is in PvP? ^^

Just do what every other person who farms faction does:
Trap.

Every so often I solo bring my trapper in and can solo the enemy-trapper team myself. 1k faction in a few minutes.

You can get about 5-7k faction from 10 wins in the Random arena. Very easy if you're using a prot monk.

I don't see how spending 10 minutes or more to get 620 faction would be abuse

You don't get that much faction from Random Arena, especially not with 10 consecs.

5-7k faction from 10 wins O_o? more like 2k if everything is perfect :P

But to think! Fighting NPC's you don't have all those wonderful little gems you get in random arenas, such as "ZOMG Quit running!" and "I'll own you 1 on 1!"

... wait ... come to think of it: why is that a bad thing?

At least the NPC's say "GG" !!

You get probably 5~7k factions from about 30 consecutive wins in Random Arena (which after 10 wins you'll be fighting in Team Arena.. then you have to last 20 wins in Team Arena as a random arena team.. lol)!

I don't know where you get your factions numbers from.. I doubt you PvP much in RA or TA

They only say that when they win. Sore losers if you ask me!
