Here's a helpful guide for brokering Faction Points.

To begin with, the minimum requirements for selling faction points are:

1. Underworld 4.

2. Be OVERT.

3. Group with your prospective buyer.

4. Be near a recruiter or a high-ranking NPC of your faction.
**Recruiters are dangerous becuase their locations are out in the open are easily attacked by the opposite faction. I've been attacked more than a few times at the recruiter in Moenia. If you have access to a faction base or can find a high-ranking NPC that isn't in a "known" location, it'll be much safer. You'll get the same options from a high-rank NPC that you get from the recruiter.

The process goes as follows:

1. Converse with the recruiter or NPC.

2. Choose - "I would like to make a donation to your cause."
**Note: If the recruiter tells you "You've done enough for us already.", that means you have more than the 500 FP cap, and need to skip to step #5.

3. Choose - "I will transfer 10000 credits to your account."

4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the recruiter stops selling you points...usually after your second purchase.

5. /delegatefaction [client] ###
-[client] would be the name of the person you are selling to.
-### would be the number of points you are transfering. This number is up to you, but I've found 200 or 250 to work well for large transfers.
-Example: /delegatefaction Dreven 200OR /del Dreven 200

6. Rinse and repeat until you have met the order.

How many points you lose in the transfer is based on your rank within your faction. The higher your rank, the better the ratio. The best you'll get is at Colonel: 1.18:1.

Here's a list of facntion ranks along with their corresponding ratio:

This was put together by a helpful poster named Kemble, and should be useful for my fellow Smugglers.

Here is my guide that is still in development that I thought everyone would find useful and enjoy. If you have any changes or updates please let me know so I can include them in my next update.

As you can see this guide shows several aspects of each rank and what each rank's advantages are. You are welcomed to print it out for your convenience and be sure to tell everyone to check it out and comment if you like.
