;Benefits
*At level 20, upon gaining the first rank (Kurzick or Luxon Supporter), the [[allegiance skill|following skills]], which scale in power with Allegiance rank, become available from a [[Kurzick Bureaucrat]] or a [[Luxon Scavenger]] for 3,000 faction points each:

:The Kurzick and Luxon versions are considered separate skills, however you cannot simultaneously equip both a Kurzick skill and a Luxon skill.
*The first rank increases the faction cap by 5,000, each subsequent rank increases it by 1,000.

==Acquisition==
Transfer the respective faction points to either a Kurzick Bureaucrat or a Luxon Scavenger. Faction points can be transferred in several ways (shown in table below). Depending on the method used, the number of faction points transferred does not correspond with the amount gained towards the progress of this title track.

#You ''must'' be in a guild with [[allegiance]] to the appropriate faction in order to transfer faction in this manner.
#You ''must'' have at least rank 1 with the appropriate faction and be level 20 in order to exchange points for skills.

Unlike other reputation titles, faction points you earn don't count directly to the title. You must earn the faction points, and then transfer them. You have a maximum initial capacity of 10,000 unspent faction ([https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Luxon_faction#Faction_cap Luxon Faction] and [https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Kurzick_faction#Faction_cap Kurzick Faction]) on your account, which can be increased as you progress through Factions. Any further faction you earn after reaching the cap is wasted, so it's advisable to spend the faction before that point. Consider waiting for a Faction Support [[Weekly bonuses|weekly bonus]] before turning in quests that reward Kurzick or Luxon faction points, as this bonus causes faction standing that is spent to be converted to twice as much title progress.

The faction can be earned by:
*Completing quests in the factions' respective regions (see [[:Category:Rewards Kurzick faction]], [[:Category:Rewards Luxon faction]]).
*Exchanging [[Imperial faction]] earned through [[Competitive Mission]]s or [[Alliance Battles]] at a ratio of 1:1.
*Playing in the faction's [[challenge mission]]s or [[elite mission]]s.
*Bribing the priest of the opposing faction to activate a [[Resurrection Shrine]].
*Through kills after receiving the blessing from [[Kurzick Priest|Kurzick]] or [[Luxon Priest]]s (getting [[Blessing of the Kurzicks]] and [[Blessing of the Luxons]] respectively).
*Completing the [[Arborstone]], [[Boreas Seabed]], [[Gyala Hatchery]], [[Eternal Grove]], and [[Unwaking Waters]] missions the first time per [[character]].
*[[Vanquish]]ing zones in [[the Jade Sea]] or [[Echovald Forest]]. The faction type corresponds to the zone (Kurzick for Echovald Forest, Luxon for the Jade Sea).

=== Recommended point farming ===
: ''See also: [[Faction farm]]''
* [[Alliance Battles]]
** Receive 7,500 [[Imperial faction]] from [[Zehnchu]] after winning 2 Alliance battles with the [[Alliance Battles (Zaishen quest)|Alliance battles Zaishen quest]] in your [[quest log]].
* [[The Jade Quarry]]
** With 1,000 Imperial faction for a win, plus 300 for each jade slab collected, this is an extremely effective way to gain faction. With a good team, a donation can be made every 15 minutes.
** Receive 5,000 Imperial faction from Zehnchu after winning 3 battles with the [[Jade Quarry (Zaishen quest)|Jade Quarry Zaishen quest]] in your quest log.
* [[Echovald Forest]] (Kurzick faction)
** [[Arborstone (explorable area)]] provides a relatively easy run to kill the four [[Stone Guardian]] bosses there, to reap the boss bounty under the [[Blessing of the Kurzicks|Kurzick blessing]].
** [[Duel of the Houses]] is a repeatable quest in [[Drazach Thicket]]. A strong team can complete this in a few minutes and it is fully hero/henchable. [[Frozen Soil]] is recommended to make things go faster as opponents all carry [[Resurrection Signet]].
** [[Amatz Basin]] is a challenge mission south of [[Mourning Veil Falls]]. A perma-assassin team of three can tank all the wardens coming from each direction and divert their attention away from the Kurzick refugees running past to a portal. (Gives 1 Kurzick faction for each NPC who makes it alive and 50 faction for every 10 people.)
* [[The Jade Sea]] (Luxon faction)
** [[Zos Shivros Channel]] can be AFK farmed. After wave 7 the challenge mission bugs out, and never sends wave 8 and later waves to the island where Battle Priest Calibos stands. This allows players to gain 50 faction / minute indefinitely without any risk or effort. Certain [https://gwpvx.fandom.com/wiki/User:Kazerniel/Zos_Shivros_AFK_Luxon_farm hero team comps] can successfully complete the first 7 waves without any player input.
** [[The Jade Arena]] is a repeatable quest in [[Archipelagos]]. A strong team can complete this in a few minutes and it is fully hero/henchable. [[Frozen Soil]] is recommended to make things go faster as opponents all carry [[Resurrection Signet]]. When leaving from [[Breaker Hollow]] the [[Luxon Priest]] can be bribed for an extra 10 faction per kill on the way to and during the quest. The maximum price to bribe the priest and receive the blessing is the same as the amount you are rewarded each time you complete the quest.
* [[Vanquish]]ing
** Combined with priest blessings, you effectively earn 70 faction per kill (plus boss bonuses), easily resulting in gains of about 17,000 faction from a complete vanquish. [[Speed clear]]ing is perhaps the most widely-used method for quickly earning...
*** Kurzick points: [[Morostav Trail]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Drazach Thicket]]
*** Luxon points: [[Mount Qinkai]], [[Maishang Hills]] and [[Boreas Seabed (explorable area)|Boreas Seabed]]

== Notes ==

* The maximum faction cap for each type of faction is 70,000; see [[Kurzick faction]] and/or [[Luxon faction]] for details.
* You can maximize either title by:
** Completing [[Shiro's Return]] (hard mode) just over 83 times.
** Playing on the winning team for 357 hours in [[The Jade Quarry]] (assuming each round takes 15 minutes and you earn at least 4,000 [[Imperial Faction]] per round).
** Completing at least 172 Vanquishes (assuming 58,000 faction each VQ, which implies an area with 400 enemies and 4 bosses and that you donate your faction to your guild).
* Allegiance rank for title skills translates to an effective attribute rank as follows:
::{| style="margin:1em 0.25em; border:1px solid #6A3; border-collapse:collapse; text-align:center;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" rules="all"
|- style="background:#CA8;"
| colspan="14" |'''Progression'''
|- style="background:#DCA;"

!Allegiance rank
|'''0'''||1||2||3||4||5||'''6'''||7||8||9||10||11||12
|-
! Effective attribute rank
|'''0'''||2||5||7||10||12||'''15'''||15||15||15||15||15||15
|}
* You can boost your effective rank to higher values by using [[Signet of Illusions]] or [[Symbolic Celerity]], which respectively substitute [[Illusion Magic]] and [[Fast Casting]] as the determining attribute.

== Trivia ==
* The [[Zaishen rank|Zaishen title track]] uses the same title prefix for every rank but the last tier.
* An update to the game made these titles much more easy to acquire. Beforehand, players had to devote many hours to rank up.{{citation needed}}
