Walkthrough
By doing all the quests available that give Kurzick Faction as a reward, a single character should have exactly 10,000 points and enough to complete this quest. If not you can do the repeatable quests Scouting Ferndale and Kurzick Supply Lines several times.

Note: After completing the quest and accepting the reward, you don't lose the 10,000 faction you just earned.

Tip: Since faction points are shared among characters of the same account it may be worth considering to do this quest with more than one character simultanously, so that all characters benefit from the collected Faction.

Tip: It is not recommended to collect Kurzick faction and Luxon faction simultanously, because when you spend faction for one side you automatically lose faction for the opponent side. So in order not to waste any faction it is smart to keep your faction level for one side at zero while you collect faction for the other side. Then redeem all your faction for that side, switch side and start collecting faction for the other side.
