Guild Wars: Factions Quiz | Guild Wars: Factions

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. You input the access code, and "Guild Wars: Factions" becomes available on your account. You go to create a new character, and try to decide which profession to be. Aside from the six core professions, which two professions are new to this campaign?

Answer: Assassin & Ritualist

Assassins are dagger-wielding mercenaries with many deadly skills capable wipe out enemies quickly and easily. Ritualists summon spirits to aid allies in battle - from life stealing spirits, to spirits that prevent more than a set percentage of damage, Ritualists are the popular alternative to Monks.

2. Your journey begins on a beautiful, panoramic island with a host of new creatures to defeat. What is the name of this island?

Answer: Shing Jea Island

Shing Jea Island, with its picturesque landscapes, is the starting place on your journey through the "Factions" campaign. The island is designed to get your character to level 20, and prepare it for arrival on the mainland, where the true story begins.

3. As a result of the plague that besets Cantha, many mutate into a horrendous form of creature. What is this type of creature?

Answer: Afflicted

Distorted and grotesque versions of former humans, the Afflicted are the plague of Cantha, brought about by the evil of Shiro. Anything passing too close to Shiro - animals, humans, plants - will be augmented and made into an Afflicted creature.

4. So, you get tired of the storyline, and want to try something different for a little while. You discover that "Factions" has introduced a brand new PvP type. Eager to participate, you head to your guild hall, and talk to an NPC who grants you access to Alliance Battles. Alliance Battles are constant wars between the Kurzicks and the Luxons to gain territory. How many players per side are there in a typical Alliance Battle?

Answer: 12

Twelve Luxons versus twelve Kurzicks in a highly competitive arena, where capturing shrines and eliminating the enemy are the main objectives. If a team controls all seven shrines at once, a timer starts, meaning that if the team continues to hold the shrines for one continuous minute, that side will win. If shrines keep changing hands, another way of winning is to accumulate 500 points. Your side will gain three points per kill.

The first team to reach 500 points will win the battle. Alliance Battles don't go without rewards - you gain Balthazar and Luxon/Kurzick Faction for each kill, and additional Luxon/Kurzick faction upon completion of the battle (the winning team will obviously receive more additional faction!).

5. After a fun-filled time waging war against the other faction, you decide to head back to PvE. You find yourself in Kaineng City, the capital of Cantha. Knowing this to be a key region in the campaign, you spend a bit of time exploring and navigating the streets of Kaineng City. How many cooperative mission locations are there in this region?

Answer: Seven

There are seven mission locations in Kaineng City, but only six missions. The Vizunah Square mission has two entry points, the Local Quarter and the Foreign Quarter. Characters native to Cantha will enter the mission via the Local Quarter, whereas characters from other campaigns will have to enter via the Foreign Quarter.

This means that there are, at times, two teams of eight players in this mission. This is the first of only two missions where sixteen players can enter.

6. After finishing the Sunjiang District mission, you come to a crossroads. You can choose to either befriend the Luxons or the Kurzicks. You acquire the two quests that will enable you to continue to which ever faction's territory you like, but do you know the name of the outpost where you acquire these two quests?

Answer: Maatu Keep

Jamei in Maatu Keep gives you the quests "Journey to Cavalon" and "Journey to House zu Heltzer" which will allow you to continue the main storyline into Luxon and/or Kurzick territory respectively. No matter what quest you decide to do primarily, whether you choose to explore the Jade Sea, or the Echovald Forest, the two sub-storylines will converge later on in the game.

7. You take a trip through the Echovald Forest, and come to the capital city of the Kurzick lands. Wanting to keep up on the Luxon side, you make your way to the Luxon capital. What are the names of the Kurzick and Luxon capitals, respectively?

Answer: House zu Heltzer & Cavalon

House zu Heltzer is the capital city of the Kurzick faction. The alliance with the highest amount of Kurzick faction gains control of House zu Heltzer, which grants them free access to Urgoz's Warren, the elite mission for the Kurzick side. Cavalon is the capital city of the Luxon faction.

The alliance with the highest amount of Luxon faction is in control of Cavalon, which allows them to enter The Deep, the elite mission for the Luxons, for free.

8. Shiro's power is increasing, and there is one thing that can help you fight him. Kuunavang, the great dragon, is a powerful ally, and greatly assists you in the campaign. However, you must defeat Kuunavang first, to gain her support. To do this, you must complete the Unwaking Waters mission. There is one mission location from which you can attempt the mission.

Answer: False

Unwaking Waters can be entered through two locations: one on the Luxon side, and one on the Kurzick. Neither provide advantages or disadvantages over one another, but at times, one location may be more populated with players than the other, so if you are looking to do this mission, try going to both locations in search of party members.

9. The final mission in the game is where players must battle and defeat Shiro Tagachi. Be careful of Shiro's skills - they can quickly wipe out a party. But, firstly, what is the name of this mission?

Answer: Imperial Sanctum

In a final epic showdown between the protagonists and the antagonists, Imperial Sanctum is the final mission that players must conquer, in order to save Cantha from the evil that is Shiro Tagachi. Players seeking the Master's reward for this mission must complete it in less than two and a half minutes in normal mode, and under three minutes in hard mode.

10. The scourge of Cantha has been destroyed, and you, the triumphant hero, proudly walk the Divine Path. At the end of the path, you are presented with an Amulet of the Mists, as a token of thanks for saving Cantha from Shiro. What can you exchange your Amulet for, at the end of the Divine Path?

Answer: An exclusive end-game weapon

Talk to an Adept and you can exchange your Amulet of the Mists for an exclusive end-game weapon. Choose carefully, however, as you can only ever get one Amulet per character, no matter how many times you finish the game, and no matter what mode you are in. Alternatively, you can sell your Amulet for a good price (usually, Amulets sell for 8-10 platinum).

Thanks for playing this quiz! I hope you enjoyed it. Good luck to new players embarking on the "Factions" quest, and to veteran players, I hope this quiz tickled those brain cells.
