Competitive Mission (Factions)

A competitive mission is a storyline linked PvP battle exclusive to the Factions Campaign that are primarily used to gain Kurzick or Luxon faction as well as Balthazar Faction. They are of a nature similar to Alliance Battles, where a Luxon and Kurzick team compete with each other over objectives. Like Random Arenas, players are randomly placed in teams, however, these are teams of eight, not four. The allegiance of a player's Alliance (or even whether the player has an Alliance) has no impact on the player's ability to fight for either side.

Competitive missions are considered to be PvP because of their nature, therefore PvP-Only characters can also fight in them (to do so, talk to either the Kurzick Recruiter or Luxon Diplomat in the Great Temple of Balthazar). PvE players should note, even if they access this outpost from the PvE areas, you will not be allowed to use things like Sunspear Rebirth Signet, or any of the Kurzick/Luxon skills, you will see which skills are disallowed as they will appear locked upon entering the outpost.

The two competitive missions so far are The Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood.
