While Kurzicks have access to Fast Faction Farming (FFF), Luxons have not had a similar notable method of earning faction. This build is designed for farming faction quicker than any previous methods. By using Recall and Out-of-Area effect it can bring the team into the arena without facing other enemy along the way.
This build is designed to farm Luxon faction.

[edit] Walk through
Map, click to expand. Information included
[edit] Runner
Starting at Jade Flats (Luxon) to Archipelagos, as soon as enter the map, ask the priest for bounty if you want. Wait for about three seconds for your party to cast recall on you, then using Natural Stride go north by the stairs. When within aggro of the Kappa use Dwarven Stability, Shadow Form and Dash (or Dwarven Stability, Escape and Dash if using a Ranger) followed by Natural Stride. Go through the Kappa, head west in the direction of the Naga, target one of the Naga(5 Tabs/ Switch Target) and use Death's Charge, as soon you shadow step, Dash down towards the stairs. There you should be safe (normal mode confirmed) and your party's Recall will automatically teleport them there.
Use Natural Stride and Dash till you are close enough to use Ebon Escape on one of the Luxon spectators on the higher ground to get up there. Use Shadow of Haste and run up to Arena Master Portus using Ebon Escape again when its recharges to shadowstep to him (this allows you to get to him quicker than just running) and take the quest. Return to the arena, by using another stance to cancel Shadow of Haste and cast your Frozen Soil where shown in the picture provided then block Portus by the stairs (stand on the spot closest to the wall on the second step) so the team can accept rewards without chasing him or accidently end Recall by overextending.
[edit] Non-Runner
As soon as you exit the potral activate Recall on your runner before anything else because he/she will move on really quick. If you missed it cast it on another party member who has cast recall on the Runner. Talk to the priest if you want get bounty, and move to the wait zone for recall as soon as you get your bounty. (See picture) Do not cancel the upkeep on recall at any time during the Run, it will cancel itself due to the runner leaving radar range. Cast Recall either to speed up your movement (cancel before runner use recall) or accepting reward faster. Move down the stair and descend to the second last slope.(See picture) stay at the area marked "X"
Casters should stay about 1/3 to 2/3 of the way from the bottom. Once the runner has activated the quest, Convicted Enemies will appear. By the time you kill all of them, use recall/ cancel recall and accept reward. Take the quest, accept at the rewards same time.
- All the Picture for the full run, in order from top to bottom, are shown on the right hand side of the article.
