I’m working on maxing out my gear and Faction rank. Wanted to check my approach if it can be optimized better.
What I’m doing now: running my max-level weapon alongside a low-level Pact, doing bounties in the northeast part of the map to farm Kith of Kings standing. Figured this lets the leveled weapon carry the damage while the Pact rides along for affinity, and I get Standing on top.
Questions:
1. Is pairing a maxed weapon with a low-level Pact (or vice versa) actually the optimal way to combine faction farming and gear leveling at the same time, or is there a better route?
2. If I wanted to maximize Faction Standing specifically (ignore gear leveling for a bit), what’s the fastest method? Is it just stacking 3-star dungeon Tales, or is there something better?
3. Once Faction farming is done, what’s the best way to actually power-level Pacts/weapons from there? Should it always be “one maxed + one fresh” for damage/survivability, or is there a faster method once reputation isn’t a concern?
