There are three rival factions: warrior, adventurer, and mage. They each have unique benefits, and are necessary to master all the skills in the game. To join a faction, you must bring rival faction member heads to the faction leader whose faction you wish to join, and in return you will get time in that faction. When that time expires, you will be kicked out of the faction and will be eligible to join another faction. There are some very nice benefits to joining factions:

*Certain skills become stronger, depending on the faction you join. *You can raise certain skills past a skill cap that exists when you are not in the faction.

This faction is for people who want to explore the world without taking as much damage from monsters or annoying people following you around and taking swings at your left ankle. Benefits of this faction include taking less damage from monsters and increased block and parry rates. This faction allows you to level all the skills listed in the Warrior's Faction section up to 80. This is a very nice faction to be in if you want to level off of monsters.

This is also a nice faction to be in. People mainly use it to level their magic skills, but it is also helpful in that is increases the power of your magic skills. This includes making your healing spells heal more and your attack spells do more damage. The mage's faction is also necessary in order to increase certain skills past level 30. These skills are:

    *Magery
    *Black Arts
    *Unholy Combat
    *Blessing
    *Sorcery
    *Staff Fighting
    *Illusion
    *Fire
    *Water
    *Wind
    *Earth
    *Wizardry
    *Wrath
Even when you are in the mage's faction, most of these skills are very expensive and very time-consuming to master. The stat increases and increased effect on these skills is a nice benefit for mastering these skills, though.

The warrior's faction is a nice faction you can join. Members of the warrior's faction enjoy increased damage on any non-magic attacks. Also, being a member of the warrior's faction allows you to increase certain skills past level 50, all the way up to 100 if the faction is in power. These skills are:

    *Slash
    *Thrust
    *Heavy Arms
    *Axe Fighting
    *Swordsmanship
    *Fencing
    *Hammer Wielding
    *Punch
No matter what faction you are in, all of these are nice skills to have mastered. Many of them increase your stats, and they make your hits stronger anyway. Warrior's faction is very helpful for training and fighting.
