Do you think the hollow breaker supply run is meant to be?

Cos frankly I'm really quite thankful for that quest

In just another 5 hours or so of grind over the weekend and I will finally get that colourful 15K Luxon that I really liked

But of course I certainly don't want Anet to hit me with a ban stick saying I exploited the game! So do you guys honestly think it is legit?

I think it is, they will always need suplies and you are just there to help them. The Kurzick side has a simular repeatable quest.

It just felt too easy.. I can get enough materials for a 15K in like 7 hours doing this.

Although it feels really grindy.

Yeah its meant to be repeatable. Its one way of farming faction. I like to farm slower by doing Fort Aspenwood, as its much more fun then running some boring supply quest.

I do it if im after a piece of Jadeite or two, gets too boring otherwise

It really is, but I can actually read forums while doing it, so win win

True, True.

I tried to run the Kurzick supply run many times by soloing and I've never made it.

Dag namit.

When I use my Ranger I simply Pack loads of blocking/running skills. But its the Luxon one I do, also avoiding mobs is also a good idea

Kurzick one is harder i think... the repeatable of choice for Kurzicks is the "Duel of the Houses", or at least used to be.

That’s the problem with these quests I was doing the one on the luxon side about a 2 minute run for 400 faction over and over again, and then I stopped it cause I realised Anet might think I'm a bot.

Both sides have multiple repeatable quests.

Duel used to be the fastest Kurzich one to solo farm faction at (at ~3mins a run).

They nerfed the quest because it was too easy compared to the other faction farm quests. Now to finish it effectively everytime, you have to join a FF group of trappers in Braur Academy (theres like 10 of them forming at any given time).

But Kurzich also has a Supply running quest thats repeatable. Though I beleive its harder I heard. Theres enemies that knock you down, and Snare/Barbed traps in the area. I dont know if Luxon one has enemies like that in the way.

Where does this mission start from?

There's a few Oni's that will occasionally knock you down on the Luxon one but they aren't that big of a deal.

man, those quests suck. I think its there to give griping pve players a chance to get decent faction for luxon/kurzick, rather than doing alliance battles, but when its as easy as running from point A to point B, it plain sucks. Worse still its one of the main things people do to farm faction for alliance standing.

Personally i think the ability to do repeatable quests for faction is deliberate, but i dont think ANET intended it to be farmed/grinded so people can get there 15k armour asap. After all, their motto is really skill>grind. I personally shall get my faction from actually playing and winning alliance battles, even if it takes me longer, and i have to deal with idle players or rage-quitters. For me the sense of acheivment of getting the armour the 'right' way, is greater than actually having the armour.

To answer your question Generik, i dont think u will be penalised for exploiting the game, plenty of people are farming that quest anyway, but i cant say that i, or ANET approve. Be a man and get ur faction the right way :P

Well I certainly tried doing some of those alliance missions, but most of the time all I get is just a message that nobody on the opposing force joined the game.. what, the Kurzicks are chickening out from the Luxons?

Ugh, grind. I don't know how anyone can do it.

Dont worry its the same on the Kurzick side :-)

Well.. maybe they can give us some more challenging quests to earn faction points : let's say...same difficulty than Defend the Forge and 1k points of reward ?

Meh AB's are much more fun...all you gotta do is cap stuff... there's no PvP in there if you're not looking for it.
