Faction Base Uses

 The faction base has many uses: From dailies to buffs, ammo, weapons, apo... and more to discover with the levels. (Do your dailies!!! So we can level it up!)

The Base has 5 main rooms, the Hall of Loyalty, the Manor of Justice, the Alchemy Labs, the Heavenly Vault, and the Armory.   

(click on the pictures to see them bigger)

Hall of Loyalty (Center)
When you enter the base, you will be teleported to the CENTER of the Base - into the Hall of Loyalty. In this hall you will find the Faction Monolith (daily quest pillar - see Guide to Faction Base Dailies for more details), the Faction Base Manager, and another NPC designed for Trials named Acori.
 
Manor of Justice (North)

The Manor of Justice allows you to complete the daily quest Wandering Artist (30+). Talk to the Training Obelisk in order to teleport to the next room. Once you are in the next room, you can talk to the Wandering Artist. To come out of that room, just run through the door.

There is more you can do in the Manor, such as buying Feat Token in the Sale section, teleport back, exchange them to other NPCs, and defeat monsters/minibosses for EXP. Since it doesn't seem that rewarding, there isn't a lot of information about it. 



Alchemy Labs (West)

The Aura Stone should become one of your best pals in the Faction Base. It is where you can buy Faction Base buffs, Apo, and potions.

Heavenly Vault (South)
The Material Storage allows you at further levels to buy any type of ammo and different items, often class-specific. There isn't much info about it, all I know is that levelling it = better ammo.

Level II - Sunder Arrow Pack, Arcane Silver Bolt Pack, Arcane Silver Bullet Pack
Level III -  Exorcise Arrow Pack, Arcane Gold Bolt Pack, Arcane Gold Bullet Pack
Level VI - Distract Arrow Pack, Heavenshot Bolt Pack, Thundercrack Bullet Pack

Sharpshooter (highest arrows bought from normal merchant)
Weapon level 13-16
Physical Attack +110
Price: 55 coins for 1 arrow (55k for 1000)

VS

Sunder Arrows (faction base ammo - LVL2)
Weapon level 13-16
Physical Attack +120
Price: 40 Contribution for 1000 arrows

Armory (East)

The Armory allow you to purchase weapons for Contribution points and a small amount of coinage. These weapons have a 7 days timer on them, but you may purchase the same one over and over again.

In my opinion, these can be useful if you are looking for a weapon and know you will outlevel it soon. The Filial ones are for level 40+, whereas the Loyalty ones are for level 70+.
