New page

[[File:Faction_(Kurzick).jpg|right]][[Kurzick faction]] is a representation of the efforts you have made in support of the [[Kurzick]]s, and by extent your reputation with the Kurzicks. Your current amount of Kurzick faction can be seen on the faction tab of the [[Hero panel]].

==Acquisition==
There are seven main ways to gain Kurzick faction:
#Completing [[:Category:Rewards Kurzick faction|quests]] in the [[Echovald Forest]] region of [[Cantha]], where the Kurzicks live.
#Completing the [[Arborstone]], [[Eternal Grove]], and [[Unwaking Waters]] missions the first time per [[character]].
#Playing in the Kurzick [[challenge mission]]s ([[Altrumm Ruins]] and [[Amatz Basin]]).
#Killing foes in [[Urgoz's Warren]].
#Obtaining [[Blessing of the Kurzicks]] from a Kurzick Priest outside of most cities or outposts controlled by Kurzick, and then [[kill]]ing [[foe]]s while in the [[explorable area]] the blessing was obtained. Price is {{cost|100}} if you are Kurzick, and {{cost|150}} if you are Luxon ({{cost|50}} for a bribe, {{cost|100}} for the blessing; you also gain Kurzick faction for the bribe), and the blessing will disappear if you change [[zone]]s.
#[[Vanquisher|Vanquishing]] explorable areas in the Echovald Forest.
#Trading in [[Imperial faction]].

The table below provides a summary of quests in and around House zu Heltzer that can be performed to obtain enough faction points to complete [[Befriending the Kurzicks]].

== [[Faction rewards]] ==
Kurzick faction can be traded to a [[Kurzick Bureaucrat]] for the following:

{| {{STDT}} align="center"
|- style="background:lightgray;"
! Method !! Faction spent !! [[Allegiance rank|Title points]] gained !! Notes
|-
| Donate faction points to your [[guild]] ("Raise Alliance reputation")|| 5,000 || 10,000 || You must belong to a Kurzick-[[allegiance|allied]] guild. A character [[Guild#Creating_a_guild|can create their own guild]] for this purpose.
|-
| Exchange faction points for [[Amber Chunk]]s || 5,000 || 5,000 ||
|-
| Exchange faction points for [[Passage Scroll to Urgoz's Warren|Passage Scrolls to Urgoz's Warren]] || 1,000 || 1,000 ||
|-
| Exchange faction points for [[Allegiance_skill|Kurzick skills]] || 3,000 || 6,000 || Your character must be a [[level]] 20 [[roleplaying character]] that is a [[Allegiance rank|Kurzick Supporter]] (rank 1)
|}

; Spending both faction types

Spending points for one faction causes an equal number of points to be deducted from both factions.

* There is no way to simultaneously farm both titles.
* Although sometimes you have little choice, it is always inefficient to simultaneously collect both types of faction.
* Some players will collect 10,000 points in both types in order for a character to complete both [[Befriending the Kurzicks]] and [[Befriending the Luxons]] quickly.

==Faction cap==
The faction cap is initially 10,000, and can be raised as high as 70,000 by completing various achievements. A [[Kurzick Bureaucrat]] will list the missing achievements when asked about ''"Raising Kurzick Faction cap"''.

{| {{STDT}}
! Achievement || Faction cap increase
|-
| Complete [[Befriending the Kurzicks]] for the first time || 10,000
|-
| Complete [[Unwaking Waters]] from the [[Kurzick]] side for the first time{{note|1}}|| 7,000
|-
| Defeat [[Urgoz]] for the first time || 10,000
|-
| Score 100 points in [[Altrumm Ruins]] for the first time || 1,000
|-

|-

|-
| Each additional rank in the Friend of the Kurzicks title track || 1,000
|}
# {{note link|1}}One needs to also complete Arborstone and Eternal Grove.

==Notes==
To finish the [[Protector of Cantha]] title, you must do ''both'':
#Get 10,000 [[Luxon faction]] to complete [[Befriending the Luxons]] to open the [[Gyala Hatchery]] mission
#Get 10,000 Kurzick faction to complete [[Befriending the Kurzicks]] to open the [[The Eternal Grove]] mission.
