Thread: Faction point question
I understand we get reduced rates on FP cost, and that people get less for kill us. I heard that if you keep on going past underworld I, that you dont earn as many faction points as you did before.
Is there any truth to this?
OK. I have gotten alot of negative Naboo faction points helping friends when they got attacked. What do I need to kill in order to gain back the Naboo faction points. I am getting sick of being attacked in Theed.
Does anyone have a listing of what you need to kill to gain and lose different faction points.
look at the sticky !!Dreven took the time to make a wonderfull guide for that!!!
and first point you need to be overt or at least TEF to have the option!!

Ok so I always hear about Smugglers being rich in Faction Points. How do you guys buy faction points. I have tried in the recruiter and see no option to buy them. Please help me out. Thanks.

I would like to get back my Imp faction points into the positive. Currently they are about -2500.
I guess I have several options.
1. Run missions as a covert Imp.
2. Run missions while still neutral, but always take them from an Imp terminal.
3. Buy them from a smuggler.
I am thinking of doing number 3, as I dont want to spend all the time getting them back thru missions. Now, if I buy them from a smuggler, is there a limit to the amount I can get back at one time? For example, can I get all my points brought up to zero at once?, or, do I have to do it incrementally?
Thanks,

You can't be a covert imp if you don't have the minimum +200 imp FP needed to be affiliated to the Empire, so solution 1 is not available.
About buying from a smuggler imperial colonel the current price will be some 400 k (adjust that with your friendship coefficient with your local smuggler
). Going from -2500 to +200 will require him to have to buy 3200 FP at the price of 125 FP for 10k credits.

so you need to buy 2700 imp faction total so you would need to pay for a total of 5886 imp faction points, (assuming youbuy them from a Colonel smuggler, and assuming my math is correct) since for colonel it costs 1.18 faction to give you 1 faction point. so since a smuggler can only buy 125 faction points at a time and each 125 faction costs 10k you would have to pay 480k...now thats the bare minimum BREAK EVEN price, and breaking even isnt really a smugglers game unless its for a friend so ur looking to pay more than 480k...ask their price some people charge as much as 200 credits PER faction point at that rate that would cost you 1,177,200 credits.
I organise FP trades as part of my business in game, and 2700 imp points would cost you 324k at my prices (120cpfp). There is a guy on my server who sells imp points for 115cpfp, which works out to 310.5k. The "bare minimum BREAK EVEN price" is 95cpfp, which is 256.5k for 2700 points.
Anyone who sells for cost is insane though, as it takes time to do the transfer.
The maths involved are - 10000 divided by 125 (smuggler cost to buy FP)= 80 * 1.18 (colonel transfer rate)= 94.4 (which I just call 95 for ease of calculation) credits per faction point received.
Also a costly affair, so bring your chequebook. :-)
(Edit: To be more clear on the topic, the smuggler will be delegating FP to you in small chunks, and he can bring you back to positive imp faction status.)
