Each [[character]] can earn [[account]]-based [[faction]] points. There are currently two types of faction points. The first is available to all [[campaign]]s, called [[Balthazar]] faction. The [[Kurzick]] and [[Luxon]] faction points are introduced in (and only available in) the [[Guild Wars Factions]] campaign.

==Balthazar faction==
The [[Priest of Balthazar|Priests of Balthazar]] found in every [[PvP]] [[outpost]] will allow you to exchange the [[Balthazar faction]] you have earned from participating in PvP battles to [[unlock]] [[rune]]s, [[insignia]], [[weapon upgrade]]s, and [[skill]]s for your account. A [[roleplaying character]] will not learn any skills which are unlocked using this method, these skills will be available for any [[PvP-only character]]s you create and any [[hero]]es you have; however, once unlocked these skills can be learned by roleplaying characters through the use of [[skill tome]]s.

These priests are usually found only in PvP areas. They can also be added to your [[guild hall]].

[[Tolkano]] will reward players with a [[Zaishen Key]] in exchange for 5,000 Balthazar faction, as well as a [[Tournament Token]] for 1,000 Balthazar faction.

==Kurzick/Luxon faction==
Faction earned with either the [[Kurzick]]s or [[Luxon]]s can either be exchanged in lots of 5,000 to raise the faction standing of your [[guild]], or in lots of 5,000 for a [[rare crafting material]], or in lots of 1,000 for a [[passage scroll]]. [[Kurzick faction]] can be exchanged for [[Amber Chunk]]s or a [[Passage Scroll to Urgoz's Warren]], and [[Luxon faction]] can be exchanged for [[Jadeite Shard]]s or a [[Passage Scroll to the Deep]] at the [[Kurzick Bureaucrat]] and [[Luxon Scavenger]] respectively. You can also buy [[Allegiance skill|allegiance-linked PvE-only skills]].

To progress past a certain point in the storyline of Guild Wars: Factions, you will need to have 10,000 faction with either the Kurzicks or Luxons. Because of this, it is recommended that you do not exchange your faction until after you complete that particular quest; otherwise, you will need to re-gather the 10,000 faction. (See primary quests [[Befriending the Kurzicks]] and/or [[Befriending the Luxons]].)

Exchanging faction with one of these two groups will cause you to lose faction that you have earned with the other. For example, spending 10,000 Luxon faction for two Jadeite Shards will also cause you lose 10,000 Kurzick faction for helping out their enemies.

Faction reward [[NPC]]s for these two faction points can be found in the [[House zu Heltzer]] and [[Cavalon]] for the Luxons and Kurzicks respectively. Additionally, [[the Jade Quarry]], [[Fort Aspenwood]], the [[Alliance Battle]] outposts and your guild hall (with the right [[allegiance]]) will also have Faction Reward NPCs.

== Imperial faction ==
[[Imperial faction]] cannot be spent directly, but can by converted into other types of faction by talking to [[Hei Tsu]].

==Notes==
*Your [[alliance]]'s Kurzick or Luxon faction will decrease by 10% at midnight (UTC) each night; therefore some guilds require that you donate a certain amount of faction a day, commonly called "faction req".
**To calculate the number of days required to increase your guild's/alliance's faction to a certain amount, you can use this formula: log0.91 11*DailyDonation - Goal/10*DailyDonation - Current. Note that "ten times your daily donation" > your goal > your current points.
**To calculate the daily donations required to increase your guild's/alliance's faction to a certain amount in a certain number of days, you can use this formula instead: Goal - Current * 0.91days/11 - 10 * 0.91days
