This quest was affected by the 11-13-08 game update and this method is no longer possible. This was the easiest and most popular FFF method in the past. It involved running to four points in Melandru's Hope which could be accomplished simultaneously by four runners or by flagging heros and henchmen to the points. The update of Nov. 13, 2008 changed the quest, requiring you to defeat the enemy spawns at those points, so a quick run is no longer possible.

 

Hero Fast Faction Farming (HFFF)

Hero fast faction farming is done in Melandru's Hope, the area east of Lutgardis Conservatory. There is a repeatable quest just outside of the town in Melandru's Hope. To complete the quest, all you have to do is visit four places in Melandru's Hope. In order to complete this quest quickly, you can use heroes and henchmen to do the dirty work for you.

First, you need the proper party. The three ranger heroes (Acolyte Jin, Margrid the Sly, and Pyre Fierceshot) work the best. If you do not have all three ranger heroes, you can substitute the missing ones with assassin heroes. Also, you will need to take along the two warrior henchmen available.

Now that you have your party set, you will need to set up your heroes skills. Here they are:

Ranger / Assassin

Expertise: 12 + 1 + 3; Shadow Arts: 12
Dash	Dodge	Zojun's Haste	Shadow Form	Optional	Optional	Optional	Optional

Assassin / Ranger

Shadow Arts: 12 + 1 + 3; Wilderness Survival: 12
Dash	Dodge	Zojun's Haste	Natural Stride	Shadow Form	Optional	Optional	Optional

Use your "U Map" to place your heroes in the following positions.

After your heroes and henchmen are in position, take the quest, then accept it for an easy 2,000 experience, 400 Kurzik faction points, and 150 gold.
