Vanquishing Faction Totals

    I was poking around the Internet a bit and haven't yet found the answer I was looking for.

    I am wondering if someone has listed the approximate total amount of Luxon/Kurzick faction you can earn from vanquishing the relevant areas in Cantha. For the Morostov trail FFF, I saw that it listed @22k total faction earned for the vanquish (https://gwpvx.fandom.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_MTSC_Kurzick_FFF), and Mount Qinkai for Luxon (https://gwpvx.fandom.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_MQSC_Luxon_FFF) but haven't found the same info for any of the other areas.

    Anybody know of a site or place that has that kind of list? I am curios to see what the other zones in Cantha are worth for complete vanquishes and how the compare to Morostov.

    Thanks!

    You can calculate it yourself. Just check the wiki for total amount of mobs + check bosses (they give more factions). Then x10 for normal mobs and 100 or 250 per boss. Cant recall from the top of my head.


    As for efficiency, these zones will be the fastest way to get factions (even with heroes they take less time, even more so with a good hero setup).

    Price-wise depends fully on profession. Mesmer for example will be the most expensive to gear (since everyone wants mesmer mercs:p)

    Wiki gives you approximate foe totals and a little math gets you the rough total. I used to have it written down like 15 years ago when everything service wise for vanquishing was xxxg/foe total. then it evolved it base pricing for everything so i didnt keep it anymore. but i still regularly do them so i can recalculate a rough estimate for each zone.

    Lets say a JQ game takes 10 min which is a realistic time. You'll get at least 4k imperial faction for a win.

    So you do it during pvp double week = 8k / 10 min

    You turn in during double week = 16k / 10 min

    You donate to ally = 32 k / 10 min

    This will get even more by combining with JQ ZC and youll also get faction from killing stuff. And you can hold on to much imperial faction.

    You dont need decent heros, no cons, nothing. And it works for lux and kurz. I did most of my kurz title that way.

    Thats a great question!

    I am very interested for the kurzick point comparison of all VQ´s

    Okey Dokey,

    So I decided to do an informal research myself to see what the comparative rates are in Kurzick territory. This is what I came up with:

    Morostov Trail - @22,000 total faction earned - @1 hour to clear - 290 kills - Faction per minute: 367
    Mourning Veil Falls - @17,000 total faction - @45 minutes - 216 kills - FPM: 378
    The Eternal Grove - @18,600 total faction - @47 minutes - 242 kills - FPM: 396
    Drazach Thicket - @16,700 total faction - @40 minutes - 232 kills - FPM: 417 to 437(800 extra faction from repeatable missions)
    Melandru's Hope - @15,780 total faction - @45 minutes - 206 kills - FPM 350 to 359(400 extra faction from mission)
    Ferndale - @18,780 total faction - @45 minutes - 245 kills - FPM - 417 to 435(800 extra faction from missions)
    Arborstone - @24,000 total faction - @55 minutes - 323 kills - FPM 436

    These results are based off of a first or second run through each area, with the exception of Morostov, which I was farming for a while before deciding on doing this. The party build I was using is the same meta for farming the Zos Shivros challenge mission. So, these numbers can certainly vary with a more efficient build or path through the area, but from a casual standpoint, this is about what you can expect.

    From a personal standpoint, I believe Drazach Thicket to be the best run. I've shaved the run down to 35 minutes and do the Duel of the Houses mission, so it offers the best bang for the buck in terms of earning faction per minute spent. I found it a much easier and quicker area to clear out with my party build, over Morostov Trail.

    I plan on eventually doing the Luxon territory just to see what the results of those areas are, but as the known exploit in Zos Shivros allows for better faction farming in terms of not having to actively play the game for the bulk of the mission, Zos is the best way to farm Luxon faction for the title. Also to note that Vanquishing also allows for advancing the Treasure Hunter and Wisdom title tracks, as well as earn a good income from drops, plus there is the bonus of the Zaishen Vanquishing missions as well.
