Faction Farming

Hei,

So I am trying to do a hero Kurzick point farm. I have been doing Morostav Trail for few times. Nothing too fancy. Im using something along the lines of the 7H support build with minor adjustments. Currently I have been able to clock the Vanquish at 45-55 minutes. Based on what I read on the internet ( http://archive.guildwarslegacy.com/01/01%20Questi…rming_.001.html ) 50min is super slow. I should be looking at something in the area of 30 minutes.

So now I am thinking of whether I have the routing right. Does anyone know the best way of running this? Maybe some cheesy strats/builds that make the whole process faster?

EDIT: Im mostly doing this with my ranger or sin, as they have the most runed heroes. Aand the times dont differ that much.

Thanks!

TDR

Afaik Morostav Trail works out best for faction, and should work out to almost 1k faction per minute. Super efficient teams are capable of getting sub 25min times. A quick search of the Guru farming forum brought up a map and some builds, though I would think you'd do better with a dagger build + mesmer based hero setup than a bunch of discord spammers.

25 minutes for a vanquish with heroes is about right. I think the best I managed was 22 minutes.

It would be so much faster with an MTSC team of course. Sadly, those don't really exist anymore.

Cool, I will keep that in mind.

You can always share how are you doing this. Otherwise its just words.

I used a slight variation of this build: https://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/Build:Team_-_7…_Caster_Support

Just cleared everything in an anticlockwise direction. Most of the boss groups don't pose any problem except for Sunreach. For that I just pulled him round a corner and body blocked with spirits. Once done, go in and kill Falaharn separately. Then at the end kill Arbor Earthcall in the middle of the lake by pulling him with a longbow first. If you don't do this, the ritualists will spawn and keep healing him. Also, I used a BU and had 3x Fallback. No minions because they slow you down. That's about it.

I basically run 4 E-surge mesmers, 1 ineptitude mesmer, a BiP restorer, and an S/T Rit...and myself as a N/A caller. I usually get around 26-27 minute runs, if Sunreach doesn't kill my group

I was doing ferndale vq with all the quests on (still with henchies at the time). Since I liked the area and there was no strong mob challenge I preferred it over mt. I think if the vq takes you 50 min you will be able to get more faction from ferndale since it takes around the same time if you like to take your time during vq ( I started from hzh and took the quest outside it and then went my way to lutgardis and got the reward and took the one from outside of it). If you manage to lower your time for mt to 25 min then mt is waay faster of course.
