Competitive Mission (Factions)

A competitive mission is a storyline linked PvP battle exclusive to Factions that can be used to gain Kurzick or Luxon faction as well as Balthazar Faction. They are of a nature similar to Alliance Battles, where a team from the Luxons and the Kurzicks compete with each other over objectives. Similar to Random Arenas, players are randomly placed in teams. However, these are teams of eight, not four. Also, players may choose to fight for either side in these battles regardless of their Alliance's alliegence, or being in an alliance at all.

Competitive missions are considered to be PvP because of their nature, therefore PvP-Only characters may also fight in them and can do so by talking to either the Kurzick Recruiter or the Luxon Diplomat in the Great Temple of Balthazar.

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

Competive Missions are normally used to gain Kurzick or Luxon faction in order to complete the quests Befriending the Luxons or Befriending the Kurzicks, which require 10,000 unspent kurzick or luxon faction points, all of which can not be obtained by quests alone. Due to the length of the missions, especially Fort Aspenwood, it is also often used to gain Balthazar Faction
