Mesmer Equipment Faction points
Note that for equipment, you must currently be in possession of them to count. They may be in 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 moved to storage accounts do not count).
 * 1 point for each full set of regular Mesmer armor art (must be level 20 armor).
 * 5 bonus points for having all 3 full sets of Core regular Mesmer armor art (Ascalon, Tyrian, Krytan).
 * 5 bonus points for having all 4 full sets of Prophecies regular Mesmer armor art.
 * 5 bonus points for having all 4 full sets of Factions regular Mesmer armor art.
 * 10 bonus for each full set of Ascended Mesmer armor art.
 * 50 bonus points for having all 4 full sets of Prophecies Ascended armor art.
 * 50 bonus points for having all 4 full sets of Factions Ascended armor art.
 * 20 points for each "unit" of Obsidian armor, where Attire is 3 units, Hose is 2 units, and other parts are 1 unit each.
 * 40 bonus points for full Obsidian armor.
 * 1 point for each Mesmer green weapon
 * 1 bonus point for each full set of Mesmer greens from Prophecies
 * 5 bonus points for having all the Mesmer greens from Prophecies
 * 1 bonus point for each region that has 4 Mesmer greens collected

Skill Faction Points

 * 5 points for each Mesmer Elite skill captured.
 * 1 point for each regular Mesmer skill learned.
 * 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". 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.

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
