Factions

How to Join a Faction

Visit the Faction Master in any of the six major cities.
Choose a faction to join and pledge your allegiance.
Once flagged, you’ll represent that faction and be attackable by players from enemy factions.

Faction Activities

Faction Warfare revolves around several key activities:

1. Faction PvP

Flagging for a faction allows you to engage in open-world PvP with players from rival factions.
Capturing enemy outposts in red, yellow & blue zones grants faction points and increases your faction’s control over the region.

2. Trade Missions

Faction Trade Missions require transporting goods between cities for faction points and silver.
Beware: These missions place you at risk of being ambushed by other factions.

3. Faction Outpost Captures

Groups of players can work together to capture faction outposts.
Capturing an outpost involves defeating powerful NPC guards and rival faction players.

Faction Rewards

Faction points can be redeemed for exclusive rewards, including:

Faction Mounts: Each faction has a unique mount with special abilities, such as the Moabird from Bridgewatch or Wolf from Caerleon.
Faction Crests: Crests that are essential to craft specific city cape.
Resources and Crafting Materials: Gain exclusive resources to enhance your economy.

Tips and Strategies

Start Small: If you’re new, begin with faction groups (you can find their servers at the bottom of the page).
Join a Group: Faction outpost captures and red zone PvP are best done with a group for safety and efficiency.
Use Proper Gear: Equip gear you can afford to lose in red zones fights. Take adapted builds such as zvz ones.
Watch the Map: Use the map to see active faction activities and avoid enemy zergs.
Earn Rank: Progress through faction ranks to unlock better rewards and bonuses.
