I used texmod and went from 90% -> 100% in one day. There must be around 103% of Tyria available because I've got a lot of area left uncovered.

Imho the "best" title is Survivor that has been achieved without gay EotN ways, be it keg farming, kilroy's, etc
unfortunatly you can't be sure how anybody achieved a title so now when you see a Legendary Survivor you automatically assume EotN junk.

2nd "best" Imho is Tyrian Cartographer, just for the sheer amount of land you have to uncover, most of which you won't even reach if only going through the storyline.

after that it's all the money=title, such as Drunkard, Party Animal, Wisdom, etc however the 1 that shines above all of these is Treasure Hunter because you actually have to run chests, good chests(even HM) if you care for profit too.

than comes Kurzick/Luxon titles, a lot of grinding methods(AB, JQ, FA, FFF, HFFF, Vanquishing) however getting all the way to R12 is a pain in the butt, especially if you get both titles. as a bonus 1 of these titles give you 1 nice(at least for some professions) PvE skill.

after that are the EotN Rep titles, some are just too easy, Raptors, Vaettirs, etc. others are just annoying but neither take too long. not to mention they give you all these 1337543C3 PvE skills.

last and least are all the Vanquishings, Protectors, Guardians and other easy titles.

P.S I'm not mentioning PvP titles because the way I see Title Grinding is pure PvE play. the fact that PvPers can max a certain title or 2(bah @ Zaishen) doesn't say much unless it's a PvEr that maxes them out, than it's impressive, but almost unheard of...

Bow before my feet!

I got my first survivors by doing the storyline - and then abusing the skill capping weekends.
Then I moved onto the Turai farm and Luxon Arena farm and then onto Killy.
Now Killy bores me - so my new guys are doing it the old-fashioned way again. The ranger did C3 and Factions, on his way to complete C1. And I do FoW clears for the easy 100k+ xp.

(The funny thing - the survivor title means NOTHING to me. I just do it so that if I were to ever decide to main that guy - he has a good start.
And I never do. I mostly delete these guys before they obtain their second title ...)

Only titles I personally consider worth getting is the mission/bonus one (name fails me)

These show you've at least attempted to play the game.

OK, so people do get run, but I'll do it properly. Had it on my necro, but I deleted him....my biggest GW regret, shortly followed by giving away all my items/cash. Hard starting a new char with 5k in the bank.

Most Grind? haha - LDoA for sure - no doubt there peeps, say it's stupid and a lame title or whatever, you can't deny that the grind to get to lvl 16 with naught but a few lvl 8 enemies and then death leveling after that to 20..... is insane and mind numbing and possibly brain damaging (esp if you do it without logging off overnight each time).

Most prestigious is a matter of preference. IMO LDoA is most "impressive" and I would have said Lvl 3 Survivor for most prestigious, but with drunken Dwarf brawling available now it's up in the air again... for me at least.

I did my tyrian cartographer very early, before I have ever heard of texmod, the hard way with no kind of aid, that was time comsuming lol.
Much of my chesting I did being drunk and using drunken master for speedbuff, thats a nice combo

I only have 902 chests to go atm, so I start to see the end of it

. With all the broken lockpicks you get nice unlucky points, Im jinxed atm.
I must say, it takes some investment in lockpicks, so you need both money and work to do this title. Especially in the beginning when you got low rank and brak a ton of them.
Survivor and LDOA werent an option for me, my char is from before the titles got introduced and i wouldnt want to play any other (necro) for my main.
It helps with the titles being global, i can let my perma go open some chests too

There's no skill involved in getting any of the titles, none whatsoever. All of them are attained through grind and all of them can be bought. If you max one, great, but do it because it's part of the game and not so you can show off your leet skills in guild wars. There are many things that show knowledge of the game, and some of those do deserve respect but they don't fall under any of the titles and don't contribute to gwamm.

Carboplatin · Apr 06, 2009, 01:29 PM // 13:29

treasure hunter is definitely alot of grind, but what makes it better then GWAMM?

Thank you for pointing out this new and exciting subject.

You sir are a smart ass.

Just cause the title takes time does not make it hard.

Coolpb · Apr 06, 2009, 01:52 PM // 13:52

I'm proud to say that I am one of the small number who has gotten the title LDoA. Not to advert the guild but TYTN is a proud Perma(nent) Pre(-Searing) guild and we'd love to help anyone attempting LDoA.

Because all of the people that have purchased extra accounts for the free zkeys every month, can buy 80 percent of GWAMM title (if you count on them paying for mission and dungeon runs as well as vanquishing services.)

What makes it better than GWAMM, is there are fewer people with the title Grandmaster Treasure Hunter than there are with GWAMM and you absolutely cannot pay someone to do it for you.

DoomFrost · Apr 06, 2009, 02:19 PM // 14:19

When I worked on Legendary Survivor I did it the hard way, capping elite skills, doing quests and missions, and trying to stay alive. It was one of the longest and most frustrating titles I've done, because one slip up and its gone. Was a bloody miracle to, because I usually get alot of lag. Legendary Survivor for me is one of better titles I've done.

Longasc · Apr 06, 2009, 02:23 PM // 14:23

The funny thing is, most GWAMM's are also Grandmaster Treasure Hunters. At least according to the statistics of the Gods listed on this page:

lol, you were saying what?

Based on this website that would mean only ~25% of GWAMMs have Grandmaster Treasure hunter.

I'm glad you see title buying the same as gold buying, but really... how hard is it to find someone to go on your account and get it for you? While you pay them, or buy an account that already has it. All it is is grind, and that's always for sale.
