Visit the related city-faction registrar and apply to work for their city. Doing this you'll be
handed out a Kamelott Inc.+diplo-necklace, which you have to equip in order to
loot socalled faction-coins. You do not need the ring to do this.
This should work at regular combat as long you
1) gain
xp for the kills AND
2) you equiped the necklace.
The coins will not be shown in the
loot-window, but directly appear in your inventory.
For the start you receive as well platin-coin for the faction you chosed. So far
known copper-, silver- and gold-coins stack to a kinda additional currency meant
to buy faction with.
The platin-coins come as lucky loot out of boss-mobs only and should be saved in
order to later buy the mount.
For the racial mount you'll need both:
+ a certain amount of faction points (rumors say 13k)
+ 50 platin-coins to buy the lvl 30 version of your racial mount
and/or
+ 100 platin-coins to buy the lvl 50 version of your racial mount
You even have access to several faction-necklaces, but you won't
get the 1 platin-coin again if you switch or add another city-faction
