User:PanSola/Faction (LAFT)

Under revision. Feel free to propose any additional factors not being counted for faction points!

As with all Faction points, the Faction with LAFT is account-based, not character-based.

Rune Unlock Faction Points

 * 5 points for each minor Mesmer rune unlocked
 * 10 points for each major Mesmer rune unlocked
 * 20 points for each superior Mesmer rune unlocked
 * 2 points for each minor Assassin rune unlocked
 * 5 points for each major Assassin rune unlocked
 * 10 points for each superior Assassin rune unlocked
 * 1 point for each minor Ritualist rune unlocked
 * 2 points for each major Ritualist rune unlocked
 * 5 points for each superior Ritualist rune unlocked

Mesmer Primary Faction points

 * You receive 100*n Faction points with the LAFT for simply having a Primary Mesmer PvE character that is n months old.

Mesmer PvE Faction points
Mesmers, seeing as how they are treated by other players in PvE, get a lot of points for PvE acheivements.

The "Getting Into A PuG" Award

 * 1 point for every time you get into a completely random PuG (you don't know anyone in the team) and your group successfully complete the mission/quest/skill-cap/farming/fighting (or lasted at least 30 minutes minus idle time). All members of the group must be at most 3 levels higher than corresponding henchies for the area (so a level 20 warrior running Great Northern Wall for your level 6 mesmer does not count).  Runs (minimal combat to get to another location) do not count.  No retroactive estimates of previous PuGs.

Exploration Faction points

 * 1 points for each % of Tyria/Cantha explored, up to 60%, rounded down.
 * 5 points for each % explored between 60%~80%, rounded down.
 * 10 points for each % explored between 80%~90%.
 * 50 points for each % explored above 90%.
 * 500 bonus points for 100%.
 * 10 points for having been to (and cleared all the monsters around) the Statue of Lyssa in Mineral Springs.

Missions and Quests Faction points

 * 5 points for each unique quest completed in The Fissure of Woe
 * 2^(n-1) bonus points for having completed n FoW quests in the same run.
 * 5 points for each unique quest completed in The Underworld
 * 5*2^(n-1) bonus points for having completed n Reaper quests in the same run. (counts more than FoW due to diffculty)
 * 50 points for each unique quest completed in the Realm of Lyssa (doesn't exist yet)
 * 10*2^(n-1) bonus points for having completed n quests in the same run.

Mesmer Equipment Faction points
Note that for equipment, the account being scored must be in possession of them to count. They may be in Xunlai storage or the inventory of other characters, but must be on the account you are counting for. Thus the maximum inventory size becomes an upper limit (equipment stored on other accounts do not count).
 * 5 point for each full set of regular Mesmer armor art (must be level 20 armor).
 * 2^n bonus points for having n full sets of armor art from Core (Ascalon, Krytan, Tyrian), double for completion
 * 2^n bonus points for having n full sets of regular armor from Prophecies, double for completion
 * 2^n bonus points for having n full sets of regular armor from Factions, double for completion
 * 50 points for each full set of Ascended Mesmer armor art.
 * 10*2^n bonus points for having n full sets of Ascended armor from Prophecies, double for completion
 * 10*2^n bonus points for having n full sets of Ascended armor art from Factions, double for completion
 * 50 points for each "unit" of Obsidian armor, where Attire is 3 units, Hose is 2 units, and other parts are 1 unit each.
 * 100 bonus points for full Obsidian armor.
 * 5 points for each Mesmer green weapon
 * 2^n bonus points for having n full sets of Mesmer greens from Prophecies, double for completion

 * 5*n points for each Mesmer " +1 (n% chance while using skills)" modded weapon, not including unique weapons, double for having 20% for every attribute.

Skill Faction Points

 * 5 points for each Mesmer Elite skill captured.
 * 1 point for each regular Mesmer skill learned.
 * 10 bonus points for learning all Core Mesmer skills.
 * 10 bonus points for learning all Prophecies Mesmer skills.
 * 10 bonus points for learning all Factions Mesmer skills.
 * 2 points for each Assassin Elite skill captured.
 * 8 point for each full attribute line of Assassin skills learned (regular and elite). "No Attribute" counts as its own line.
 * 1 points for each Ritualist Elite skill captured.
 * 20 points for learning every single Ritualist skill (regular and Elite).

Other Mesmer Character Faction points

 * If you have a second PvE mesmer, calculate points as the previous section (each distinct green item cannot be counted twice unless you have two copies of it), and divide by 2. If you have three or more PvE mesmers, divide the faction for the third and onward by 4.
 * If you do not have any PvE mesmer, you may use one PvP mesmer to claim faction based on age, greens, and skills unlocked.

Assassin Primary Faction points

 * First compute the faction points using the same rules as Mesmer, skipping the Skill Faction Points section, and replacing all instances of "Mesmer" with "Assassin".  Divide it by 2 for actual faction points (round down).
 * Compute Skill Faction Points the exact same way as you would for a Mesmer, ie Mesmer skills still count more than Assassin skills. Add this to the previous result.
 * No faction points may be claimed for additional Assassin characters.
 * If you do not have any PvE Assassins, you may use a PvP Assassin to calculate Faction points based on equipment and age, but not skill unlocks.

Ritualist Primary Faction points
If you do not have any PvE Ritualists, you may use a PvP Ritualist to calculate Faction points based on equipment and age, but not skill unlocks.
 * First compute the faction points using the same rules as Mesmer, skipping the Skill Faction Points section, and replacing all instances of "Mesmer" with "Ritualist". Ritualists do not get points for getting into PuGs.  Divide it by 4 for actual faction points (round down).
 * Compute Skill Faction Points the exact same way as you would for a Mesmer, ie Mesmer skills still count more than Ritualist skills. Add this to the previous result.
 * No faction points may be claimed for additional Ritualist characters.

Other Primary Professions

 * For all PvE characters with other primary professions, they only count for Skill Faction Points.

Titles

 * Acolyte of Lyssa - 10,000 Factions with LAFT
 * Believer of Lyssa - 20,000 Factions with LAFT
 * Champion of Lyssa - 40,000 Factions with LAFT

Adaptation for other Gods
The Faction with LAFT is directed at the Goddess Lyssa. Permission is granted to adapt the above calculation for other Gods, under the condition that any adoaptation must include the Faction with LAFT calculation, and any posting of results of adaptations must also post the results of Faction with LAFT. To adopt this calculation for other gods, use the following guide:


 * Warriors are 100% with Balthazar
 * Rangers are 100% with Melandru
 * Monks are 75% with Dwayna, 25% with Balthazar
 * Necromancers are 100% with Grenth
 * Mesmers are 100% with Lyssa
 * Elementalists are 25% with each of Dwayna, Balthazar, Melandru, and Grenth. While Lyssa grants the blessing for Energy Storage, no Elementalist pay sufficient respect to Lyssa.
 * Assassins are 50% with Lyssa, 50% with Grenth
 * Ritualists are 25% with each of Dwayna, Melandru, Grenth, and Lyssa.

Or, from the other direction:
 * Dwayna: 75% Monk, 25% Elementalist, 25% Ritualist
 * Balthazar: 25% Monk, 100% Warrior, 25% Elementalist
 * Melandru: 100% Ranger, 25% Elementalist, 25% Ritualist
 * Grenth: 100% Necromancer, 25% Elementalist, 50% Assassin, 25% Ritualist
 * Lyssa: 100% Mesmer, 50% Assassin, 25% Ritualist
