Campaign Funding....

[BBWallace]

Like seriously when will this be fixed? Its " supposedly" based of the number of areas controlled, High Prosperity, and Campaign Ops. Windurst has been controlling all areas besides the northlands and Oztroja. Prosperity has been maxed out for the past 2 weeks yet funding has been staying at 1 star. Yet lastok who literally been having city battles every week has 3-4 stars for their funding and Sandy with 7-8 stars. I've been spamming Pit Spider and Smokescreen since wiki says they help funding and it hasn't moved yet.

300 Views no one knows how to increase funding?

It is not hard just have to do it over time to increase and this method will increase others over the same period. Go to Castle Oztroja (S), for windy, kill the 8 NM that drop Bamboo xxx (they repop every 4-5 hours) turn them into Pogigi: Windurst Waters (S) (G-9). Takes about 30 min to kill them all just take care to have dispel on the demon. You can go the other cities beastmen camp and steal theirs for your for windy if you are up to it. You can even try your hand at the 8ki NM if you like. This isn't a fast process to increase but over time you will increase. The other campaign ops options don't work well unless a lot of toons are doing them which isn't going to happen anymore.

A lot of campaign seems deliberately obtuse. Maybe Bastok is not spending their funding while Windurst is? In any case, as mentioned above, SCNMs are perhaps your best bet for raising stats. Campaign ops are just a drop in the bucket for a solo player.

Gotcha Went and killed em in all the strongholds. Does doing the actually battlefield help(trying not to run all the way up their ; ;)?

[Urthdigger]

Well, I doubt it hurts.

Killing the NMs and the ki NM doesn't impact the stronghold. However, you can kill the campaign mobs even without a campaign battle of a beastman controlled area and it will have a strong impact on control. They repop fast killed so you might pull them to the side as a group kill them then make another pull. In the stronghold it takes 30 mobs killed to get them to retreat.

Actually, it does... or more precisely, turning in the boxes for the SCNM key items does! It removes stats from that beastmen's nation and adds them to the nation of the NPC. For example, turning in a bamboo grass basket to Kevan removes funding from the Yagudo and adds it to Bastok.

They were specifically asking about the nation's funding, not necessarily gaining control of an area.
