City Tasks (also known as Writs) are repeatable quests that can be completed for status points and faction.
Three of the main cities (
Qeynos
,
Freeport
, and
Kelethin
) contain 5 controlling factions: one for each of the 4 player archetypes (Fighter, Priest, Mage, Scout) and one faction for the Crafters.
Neriak
,
Gorowyn
and
New Halas
have only 2 factions, Crafter and City (adventurer tasks).
The tasks vary by level and difficulty, as some are solo and others heroic in nature.
Each quest gives status points as well as +500 faction with the guild issuing the writ (TS writs are +200 for untimed, and +300 for timed).
Each of these factions has certain special status awards that can be bought from them once the player's faction standing is high enough. These status awards include clothing, house items, mounts, prefix titles and more.
