Some of these details are still subject to change as they are tested and we receive feedback on them.

Favour costs are primarily balanced around what tier of item it is. So a unique item with 3LP will have a higher favour cost than a magic item.

We pretty intentionally left off specifics of what each prophecy does. I think you’re thinking about the right sort of thing but not likely to be able to say “I want this specific item with these specific stats dropped from this specific person”. More along the lines of things similar to “the next unique that drops is guaranteed to have LP” or something kinda like that ish.

As for Bazaar search/sort, it will be very powerful and very low friction.

We will have systems in place to combat resonance farming abuse attempts.

Literally discussed this idea at one point.

I still maintain that 4/4 = 1/1. If it’s a major problem in practice, we will address it but at the moment we have no mechanical changes planned.

Current plan is just the X as though you are too low level and a tooltip tag at the bottom, possibly only in the alt version.

1. Unaffected, you just can’t actually trade as MG so that seems like an unhelpful choice to me.
2. Undecided yet, leaning towards 1 ladder with tags to show which faction you are in but are open to feedback on this.
3. For that cycle, yes. It’s split on “stash lines”.

No, items that organically drop while representing MG are not MG locked.

Items will require to have non-conflicting faction requirements and if either item has a faction requirement, the resulting Legendary will have that same requirement.

You can’t trade it back.

I think that this is actually the “you’re in” message. It’s just an automated reply that Steam gives.

Primary method of favor gain is simply adventuring. Go kill monsters and interact with the end game systems. Special events would be cool and are possible in the future.

I’m not sure what it’s saying but it is not full. There is room. It will not become full.

Pretty sure it’s multiplicative but I’m not confident on this one.

Keys are not currently planned to be tradable. Initial plan is “things that can be equipped” (idols can be equipped).

Drops are still instanced and your increased drop rate has no impact on party members.

1. Yes, however, as it states in the FAQ, the item will still have the MG requirement so you would have to switch to the MG and rank up before being able to use it.
2. We will do something to make sure the integrity of the market is functional when Item Factions launch.

There currently are no plans to give any direct gold farming bonuses to CoF. They technically have a slight boost to finding gold through adventuring because they will find more gear but with sale prices so low compared to just finding gold from the monolith and that you can make more gold through selling items at the Bazaar, it will not be advantageous to farm gold on CoF to use as MG.

Yes, you can have multiple characters simultaneously in both factions. You can switch back and forth between them as you please.

Progress in each faction is shared so you can level up your MG rank in one and your CoF in another and then switch back and forth if you want and both characters have access to the ranks in both factions.

Fine details like these are not completely set in stone and could evolve slightly. The current intent is that it is double the chance to have any LP. Also we mention that this is not part of 0.9 in the closing paragraph.

As addressed in the FAQ, you can’t because the items would have a CoF requirement. Items with a CoF requirement can’t be sold at the Bazaar.

It isn’t available in game until the next patch. We can’t add things to the game files without a patch.

Good call out, just want to add that this does not change our priorities around being able to play and have fun by finding gear yourself and not needing to interact with a trade system if you don’t want to. I know that might seem at odds with the implication of trade as an idea but I think we’ve found a very promising solution. Tomorrow is going to be wild.
