Faction System
The Faction System allows players to choose between two opposing factions and engage in competitive PvP content. Build reputation, claim territories, and battle for supremacy in the Dragon Realm.
Overview
"Choose your side and fight for dominance. The Faction System brings strategic PvP to Dragon Crusade."
When you reach the appropriate level, you can join one of two factions. Your choice determines your allies, enemies, and the rewards you can earn through faction activities.
Joining a Faction
Requirements
- Reach the required level
- Visit the Faction NPC in town
- Choose your faction (permanent choice)
The Two Factions
| Faction | In-game name |
|---|---|
| Holy Dragons | Holy Dragon Faction |
| Blood Dragons | Blood Dragon Faction |
Mechanical difference that matters: each side has its own faction base (teleporter). Shops, buffs, and Dragon Realm rules are otherwise the same systems for both.
Faction bases (teleporter)
| Teleporter name | Side | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Faction Base: Holy Dragon | Holy Dragon | Stronghold / training under the Legendary White Dragon. Players sometimes call this White Dragon Garrison. |
| Faction Base: Blood Dragon | Blood Dragon | Stronghold / training under the Legendary Black Dragon. |
- 2 daily entries each.
- Open the teleporter — these are not Dragon Realm (faction PvP).
Faction Reputation
Reputation is the currency of the Faction System. Earn it through activities and spend it on exclusive rewards.
Earning Reputation
| Activity | Reputation Gained |
|---|---|
| Kill enemy faction players | Variable (based on target) |
| Complete faction daily quests | Fixed amount |
| Capture territory points | Bonus reputation |
| Win faction events | Large bonus |
| Destroy enemy statues | Significant bonus |
Reputation Ranks
| Rank | Reputation Required | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Initiate | 0 | Basic faction access |
| Soldier | 1,000 | Faction shop tier 1 |
| Veteran | 5,000 | Faction shop tier 2 |
| Champion | 15,000 | Faction shop tier 3 |
| Commander | 35,000 | Faction shop tier 4 |
| Legend | 75,000 | All rewards unlocked |
After faction 25
Normal monsters in Dragon Realm stop giving faction reputation at faction 25 and above.
You still level the same way: fill reputation, then pay gold/perins and press Increase My Faction Level.
Reputation gains slow down
Every reputation source (donate, kills, and the rest) is cut at higher faction levels:
| Your faction level | Reputation you keep |
|---|---|
| 11–24 | Half |
| 25 | No extra cut from this bracket |
| 26–34 | One third |
| 35+ | One quarter |
VIP adds 5% and Long VIP adds 15% (applied before those cuts).
Donate does not turn off after 25
Donate to Faction still grants reputation. You can donate 100 million to 5 billion penya (1 to 50 perins). Each 10 million penya is 5 reputation before VIP and the cuts above.
The donate formula stays the same at every faction level. After 25 it feels slower because of the one-third / one-quarter cut, and because each level needs more reputation.
You cannot bank reputation past the current level's requirement — level up to keep earning.
How much reputation and gold
Reputation needed to level up from your current faction level:
500 × faction level × (1 + faction level / 100)
Example: at faction 25 you need 15,625 reputation.
Gold to press Level Up also rises with faction level (paid in perins when the bill is over 100 million penya).
Dragon Rank and character level caps
The game can refuse Level Up with "You are at the max possible faction level for this level." Character level is checked last and can override Dragon Rank:
| You | Faction cap |
|---|---|
| Character under 120 | 1 |
| Character under 135 | 5 |
| Character under 150 | 15 |
| Level 150+, Dragon Rank under 25 | 20 |
| Dragon Rank under 50 | 30 |
| Dragon Rank under 80 | 40 |
| Dragon Rank 80+ | 50 (max) |
Other reputation after 25
- Dragon Realm normal monsters: 0 at faction 25+.
- Stronger ranks (boss / mid-boss style) can still grant until faction 40, if the monster is not more than 10 levels below you.
- Faction-tagged monsters still grant.
- Killing an enemy faction player still grants reputation.
