I have recently joined a new alliance, and have been enjoying faction battles and such very much. However, the description for the faction says that I can use it to my own benifit, not just the guilds, and I see the guild's faction flucuate. How do I spend my own/how does the guild's faction go down? I know I can give faction to the guild, and I know I can get the 15k armor with it, but is there nothing else?

I do know about owning the cities, too.

You can convert Kurzick faction to Amber at House Zu Heltzer, and Luxon faction to Jadeite at Cavalon. They sell for ~900g a piece each, with Amber being the slightly more valuable of the two.

Faction in guilds decreases by 10% each day.

One more question. How much faction does it cost for each jadeite?

Amber is higher but more people selling it will drop in price too right now it’s at 1.2k to buy 1k to sell.

You won’t make a mass amount but you'll turn a good profit.

Right, but I meant I could make plenty of money while still accoplishing other things (getting lots of balthazar faction).

It's also a slow way to get faction. Exploration runs are infinitely faster. (Especially as you cna have 8 runners each taking it in turns to do the run, and all getting the 400 faction each run, regardless of whoever's doing it.)

AB is much more interesting though. =) Smite ftw!
