Cyrene Lore - which mobs belong to which faction?

[George Skywalker]

I'm trying to make sense of factions on Cyrene. Namely which mobs belong to which faction. Presumably every mob on Cyrene will belong to a faction? i.e. no mob will be factionless . Is this correct?

Maybe this info could be added to Cyrenedream mob list?

So far I have the following:

Imperium Faction
Mecha Lupine

Turrelion Faction
Duster

Manuthale Faction
Zyn'dos

Zekkonian Faction
Merfolken

Zyn Faction
Wiles
Skreel
Muckjaw

Volt Faction
Flesh rippers?
Skull Birds

A.R.C. / Boffin Faction
Crystal Ice Golem?


What about all the remaining mobs? which faction would they go in?

Follow the paint.

Good one. However, personally I have yet to loot a faction paint, or it's possible I looted some but didn't realise as I wasn't looking out for them.

Seems looting faction paints is not so easy. So best to work together on this. Also another problem may be the faction specific paint may not mention the faction name if that's the case will be difficult to determine which faction that mob belongs to.

So if you do loot a faction paint please do report on here which paint and mob it was looted from. Hopefully with time we'll have all mobs assigned to faction they belong to. I'll update opening post accordingly as we get updates.

I've come to the conclusion some mobs may not drop faction paints.

Given the difficulties in assigning mobs to factions perhaps we could do with some dev input? It's not like this lore stuff should be a secret...

Hey George Skywalker,

There's actually an issue with the paint cans not dropping that I talk about here: >>LINK<<

However, more to try and answer your question:

Imperium Faction - These belong to this faction
Mecha Lupine
Imperium Rangers
Imperium Pilots
Imperium Soldiers
Imperium Officer

The Imperium is at odds with A.R.C.

Turrelion Faction - Turrelions have a pretty clear look, and they are in charge of the Hub PvP

These mobs are at war with the Turrelion Faction
Dusters

Manuthale Faction - The Good / Sentient version of Merfolkens
These are a separate faction of merfolkens that can be found in the cave on Rana Haven.

These mobs are at war with the Manuthale Faction
Merfolken

Zekkonian Faction - These are the bee like humanoids on Cyrene who use a lot of crystal tech to make weapons

These mobs are at war with the Zekkonian Faction
Merfolken

Zyn Faction - These are the beetle like humanoids on Cyrene who are intune with nature and the planet
High Shaman
Low Shaman
Friendly Zyn

These mobs are at war with the Zyn Faction
Hostile Zyn
Crystal Pedes
Most aquatic creatures

Volt Faction - Not much is known about this faction...

These mobs are at war with the Volt Faction
All flying creatures

A.R.C. / Boffin Faction
The A.R.C. faction is the main faction that players interact with on Cyrene, lead by Zorra against the Imperium. The boffin are an allied faction from Sky Labs who have the ability to improve upon most existing tech they can get their hands on.

These mobs are at war with the A.R.C. / Boffin Faction
Hostile Robots
The Imperium
Any hostile faction that is at war with their allies

I hope this sheds some light on the factions!

Cheers,
Kris
