As of the the PWI Genesis expansion level 3 factions can create their very own instanced **Faction Base**.

Once created, an NPC will serve to teleport faction members into their base of operations. Each Faction Base is set up with five separate wings within the structure. These wings need to be constructed and upgraded by the Faction Leader as well as his or her members via coins, materials, and star levels. Members of a faction will be able to enjoy exclusive power-ups and services, have access to special gear, and can take extra quests that provide great rewards and faction contributions. You can upgrade the structures in the faction base to get better and more services.

You can access the Faction Base by speaking with the Faction Base Manager in Archosaur (573 660), Etherblade (440,868), City of Plume (337 430), City of Lost (248,648), and Raging Tides (656,133).

## Creating a Faction Base

A faction should first activate its base, and then upgrade it to provide services to the members. The base is activated at the Faction Base Manager (573 660).

Conditions:

1. Faction reaches a level 3.
2. Pay some fees and items;
	* 20 Ten Million Big Notes
	* 500 Mysterious Chips
	* 500 Warsong Emblems
	* 2000 Ultimate Substances

## Faction Base Stats

**Level:** The faction base can be upgraded by collecting Construction points. These are gained through the members' contributions. They can be donated at the Faction Manager located in the Hall of Loyalty to give the base more EXP. These donated points are separate from your spending points. Donated construction points will not affect your contribution points.

**Health:** This value ranks the activeness of members (daily total Contribution income). It will shrink day by day. If the shrinking rate is higher than the increasing rate, as the number reaches 0, the base will be destroyed.

**Faction Materials:** Materials can be used to construct or upgrade faction structures. Members can complete quests taken from Hall of Loyalty to acquire faction materials. Members can only get materials for their own race:

Human - Ethersteel
Untamed - Lost Sand
Winged Elf - Plume Puff
Tideborn - Raging Flask
Earthguard - Tellus Wood
Materials can also be gained by destroying enemy structures.

**Decommission:** Faction Base structures can be destroyed in faction base battles. If the Health of your faction base reaches zero, it will be decommissioned.

You can check your faction base stats at the Faction Base Manager.

## Faction Structures

The features of a faction base include providing quest, selling gears, items, and potions, providing helpful buffs and being the battlefield. The features are provided by structures. The structures of a faction base include:

### Hall of Loyalty (Central Wing)

Where you'll find Faction-centric quests. These quests consist of 1 Daily Faction Exam Room Quest, and 2 Mob Quests (rewards will increase upon leveling wing); each rewarding Materials depending on your race, Faction Contribution and Construction Points. You will only get one attempt to answer the Exam Question correctly. Your answer must be submitted within 10 minutes in order to receive credit.

From Monolith level 3 on you gain access to the Wandering Artist daily faction quest which gives 150 faction contribution.

#### Contribution

By completing faction quests members can gain Contribution. By spending Contribution and coins, players can purchase gear or take special quests. The total Contribution a player has compiled is called Merit.

When your Merit reaches a certain level, you will gain access to purchase or exchange quests. You can check your faction merit in the Faction Status Window. The Faction Status button is located in the top right corner of your screen.

The format of the faction status window is listed as follows:

Answering correctly will award Contribution. The exam has a time limit of 10 minutes and can fail if the timer runs out.
