3. it awards players a title/gold for being afk and thats exactly why the old lightbringer afk farm was nerfed

it's faster to get 8 competent people and do MQSC in 1 hour.

Last time I checked, Nine Rings actually cost money to play. So I don't see what's wrong with standing on the game AFK since you're essentially paying for a crappy title anyway.

In this case, we're talking about paying nothing and getting a reward for it. I'm guessing that this is "allowed" and nobody has ever been banned for AFK farming Competitive Missions.

It's just no Zos Shivros....you can apply this idea quite well in Glint's Challenge (EOTN) and go AFK for 25 min and come back to collect your "well-earned" armor remnant. Good hero placement is the key to finishing it completely in afk NM.

Do both, MQSC in the day when you're at your computer, afk Zos Shivros overnight.

That was actually me that set that score, and it wasn't afk'd! Took 7 and a half hours right enough (good thing about this challenge is you can have tea breaks

) of killing turtle waves. Stopped when I got 1000pts per wave (and have screenie at home if someone wants proof) and my eyes were too heavy.

In fairness I decided to do it on a whim after a couple of trial runs and didn't realise how long it would take. But it's not been afk'd so that complaint is wrong and tbh the other high scores prolly haven't either as I don't think anyone's connection is reliable enough to just leave for that length of time.

Anyway, if you've got a spare 8 hours it's very doable now we have 7 heroes

Edit: There you go, afk not ok! Also, you can laugh at my build, I really was just trying to get past Wave 7 when I started so I could have a proper run later but it went fine. Huzzah! for what you can acheive with sub-optimal builds! Didn't remove my name 'cause there doesn't seem to be any point given [Records];

Superedit!: Bored at work so did some maths, to get my score by afking you'd have to leave your comp on for 35 days @ 2pts per minute (101000/2 = 50500mins, 50500/60 = 841.66 hours, 841.66/24 = 35.06 days) roughly. Good luck with that.

ZoS shivros isn't really challenging since it's begins to be honest... I remembered doing it long time ago with some mates, but once you passed 20k points , it's getting really repetitive and difficulty isn't getting higher ( not even arguing about if you got a cons...)

Though this is exact opposite of what poster is hoping for, this is also a nice way to afk your survivor title. just sayin..

Note: This is extremely slow, but if you are looking to add exp while not there. It does require a bit of faith on your hero builds though.

35 days straight. Wow. We gamers truly are the biggest time wasters on earth. Also, can we close this thread now that we know this guy wasn't afk doing this? It's a pointless thread now.

Lol, I loved that challenge missions. 400k faction/day ftw. And that was without even trying.

damn that is impressive. So mind sharing the builds?

vertaxx · Mar 17, 2011, 03:21 AM // 03:21

Did Battle Priest Calibos die?

Divine Ashes · Mar 17, 2011, 03:32 AM // 03:32

I'm not sure since I haven't ever done Zos Shivros, but could you afk legendary survivor if you waited long enough? Stand close enough to get exp but far enough to not put yourself in any danger?

I'm at work just now so can't give exact builds but there was nothing exceptional about it. Was roughly this;

Me (Imbagon(ish) with Fall Back, I had no elite so if I did it again I'd prolly stick Incoming in instead of Wild Throw)
3 Discords (2 MM's, one with Bone Minions and the other with Shambling Horror, plus conditions, hexes and Rit skills)
Soul Twisting Rit
SoS Rit
Panic Mez
Woh Monk

Only other thing I'd say is when racing between turtles it helps to disable MM skills, or else they lag behind raising pointless minions from turtles.
The guy who posted about it being repetitive after 20k is absolutely right, after that it's an endurance challenge really. Only problems being bad turtle spawns (middle spawn too far apart, or as they move away from you they clump into a 3-4 turtle group) but if you keep your eye out it can all be handled.
Sometimes they will wander close to the Battle Priest too. Usually the raised ground he's on provides him protection from main turtle attack, but the area damage still hits him so watch out for that.

That's all I can think of at the moment, have fun!

Hmm I needed a nice fun team for my paragon, and it is pretty fun to see all those white tigers during my VQ. Thanks for the fun builds and yes it does work in zos, even with lvl low tigers

but since thats kinda boring I will use it for HM missions and VQ.
