Allegiance rank

Allegiance rank (also known as "Faction rank") refers to two titles: Friend of the Kurzicks and Friend of the Luxons that can be displayed for prestige. Each title has an associated set of skills that increase in power at higher ranks.

Title points are awarded per account for spending Kurzick or Luxon faction in various ways:

• Transferring faction to an alliance awards 2 title points for each point transferred.
• Purchasing Kurzick or Luxon skills provides 2 points per faction spent.
• Purchasing Amber, Jadeite, and Passage Scrolls provides 1 point per faction spent.
• Turning in Young Heroes of Tyria and Shiro's Return books awards a varying number of title points, depending on how complete the book was when turned in. They can earn up to 90,000 title points for a complete Young Heroes of Tyria, and up to 120,000 points for a complete Shiro's Return.

Note: Progress in the Zaishen Title Track is earned differently than the Allegiance title tracks, despite the similarities in names.

Kurzick / Luxon skills

After reaching the first rank, Kurzick/Luxon Supporter, level 20 characters may learn skills from a Kurzick Bureaucrat or Luxon Scavenger for 3000 Faction each. A list of these skills can be found at Kurzick/Luxon skills.

• Buying a skill costs 3000 faction, but awards 6000 faction towards your title track.
• Buying skills does not contribute towards your guild's faction.

Notes

• Reaching rank 4 in either of the tracks will allow you to display a trophy in the Hall of Monuments. The trophy is a blue Kurzick or red Luxon flag with the corresponding emblem.

Historical note: The November 13, 2008 update added the books, Young Heroes of Tyria and Shiro's Return, both of which also provide Allegiance points.

Historical note: The June 15, 2007 update allowed players to use faction to purchase PvE skills, Jadeite, Amber, and Passage Scroll, each of which also adds to the title.
