Allegiance rank

Allegiance rank (also known as "Faction rank") refers to a pair of titles that you can display for prestige: the Friend of the Kurzicks and Friend of the Luxons title tracks.

They are awarded per account for transferring Kurzick or Luxon faction to an alliance.

After June 15, 2007 update, faction spent to purchase PvE skills, Jadeite, Amber, and Passage Scroll will also add to the title.

In November 13, 2008 update, Young Heroes of Tyria and Shiro's Return books were added, which can also give you Allegiance points.

Faction spent on Amber, Jadeite, and Passage Scrolls provides 1 point per faction spent; faction spent on Faction Transfer and skills provide 2 points per faction spent. The book rewards vary and depend 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, or 120,000 points for a complete Shiro's Return.

The Zaishen Title Track has similar rank names to the Allegiance titles, but should not be confused with them, since the Zaishen title acquisition is very different from Kurzick and Luxon titles.

Allegiance title track
These titles are granted to an account for transferring Luxon or Kurzick faction. Achieving rank 1 in the Kurzick/Luxon title track will raise your faction cap by 5000. Each subsequent rank will raise your faction cap by 1000.

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.

These skills can only be learned from a Kurzick Bureaucrat or a Luxon Scavenger.

Each skill has a different icon depending on whether it was earned with Kurzick or Luxon faction.

The Kurzick and Luxon skills of the same profession are duplicate, so you can only equip one copy at a time (i.e., you cannot equip both a Kurzick and a Luxon version of the same skill).
