Trying to get survivor title in Cantha is a nightmare! I'm sure its been said before, if you are starting off in factions get to Kaineng City and leave lol.

basicly - the easiest way i ever did it:
1. have one character complete Nightfall (to unlock HM)
2. make your character Cross the Desolation
3. cap Barrage - the easiest way is to cap it doing The Great Escape (e.g saving Private Koosy!) - nice to go ranger secondary for that so that you can cap it while you do the quest - or switch secondaries, go to the Sunspear Sanctuary and spam to get a pug for the quest.
4. zealous flatbow
5. farm Battle for Turai in HM - each Margy drops 300 xp - theres like 70 of them - which means some 20k xp per run which makes some 100k per hour!

skills and heroes
since Razzy is endgame youll need somebody else to cast Splinter. my favourite is a necro hero since that way he can take BiP also! that makes it much easier if youre leveling up a 2-energy-pips char! youll need to micro-manage the skills though! meaning youll have to make the hero cast SW on you everytime you run back!
the ranger hero (or any other hero actually since 12 is perefctly fine) with spirits that you flag and.
i take Koosy so that he brings Charge! so that we run past the foes faster.
all heroes on AVOID!

if you fail to kill all foes and end up with only a few left - dont bother with them! just jump to the outpost and start again!

its (almost!) free - which is insanely important after the whole loot-scaling fiasco - and quite fast once you get to the farming!

You all say to start in tyria, but what about ascalon academy? Wouldn't you get killed in the pvp?

you load up the arena and then you LEAVE before the match starts - close GW.
when you re-start - you end up at the 'run with the mad rurik' mission.
you skip the pvp fight that way!

In order to get that quest, you have to be at least 1/2 through the NF campaign. Which by that time, you have either 1)died 2)almost gotten to Legendary Survivor.

my ranger is currently sitting at around 180k xp and his at the Chantry. so my guess is that hell cross the desolation at around 250k xp. (hes only capping ranger elites) my paragon crossed the desolation and reached the Bone Palace just a few k short of tier 2 of survivor after capping tons of elites (pretty much all paragon, warrior and ranger skills that i ran into! and the occasional mesmer one) before starting to farm Turai.
the downside:
it takes a bit longer to get there - but then again you kinda are PLAYING a game and not PREPARING to play it.
the positive:
its insanely cheap - one need to cap 1 elite and buy some 3 skills - the rest can be obtained by either advancing in the sunspear ranks or just use the free skills you get at the start of the game.

so no - you dont reach Legendary or die (unless one sucks - BUT if one unlocked HM already that means that they know what they will face and one should be able to get to torment withe heroes without really dying since the game is pretty darn easy up to that point!) by the time one crosses the Desolation.

After 32 hours my elementalist got killed by that stupid fireflower in the holdings of chokin -_- wont delete her but now im going to level another character for the title now I want to know what should I make? :/ I have absolutely no clue and im in for a challenge :P

upier · May 09, 2007, 09:49 PM // 21:49

Paragon got it by farming Turai.

I want to make a monk with LS 3, is it a good idea to take a guildmate with the Turai Quest and simply cast Splinter Weapon on him? Do I gain XP this way?

Across The Battle · May 10, 2007, 12:39 AM // 00:39

If it is not too much trouble, and not already posted, perhaps someone could put a little info on the turning Am Fah off(or jade brotherhood) or whatever. I dont really remember those quests, or that area too well.

the way Turai is Farmed - NO.

the way xp is gained:
http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forum...ght=experience

so basically youd have to cast Splinter on him AFTER the foes become aware of him. so hed have to Barrage, you cast SW and him barrage AGAIN and THEN RUN.
where as the normal sequence is Barrage+run (and SW cast OUTSIDE or BEFORE battle).

and with 2 players in a team - doing HM - youd only get 150 xp per kill. which is another downside.

TyrianFury · May 11, 2007, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Finally my ranger got the title! Never expected to get rank 3 but when I hit 700k exp I decided to try and finish it off. All questing and skill caps for this one, I also have a monk with survivor rank 1 but to be honest I wouldn't like to get another one as I had a few near misses with game crashes that I don't want to repeat.

upier · May 29, 2007, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Farmed Turai a bit again - and almost completed C1 - stuck at the last mission after the heroes and hench went INSANE and i almost got killed!

BUT its done!
warrior, assassin and (prolly) monk to go!

pidjee · Jun 24, 2007, 02:41 PM // 14:41

so u lose the title if u die , even after u have the 3th one?
so actualy u shouldn't die on that char forever?
Sounds hard tome ..

Torikae · Jun 26, 2007, 02:03 PM // 14:03

pidjee - No, once you've earnt a rank in the title, you keep it no matter how many times you die - progress just stops. The only time the title track will disappear is if you die BEFORE hitting Survivor [1].

Just finished it a few minutes ago - SO thrilled

All quests, missions and skill caps, mostly in Cantha. All henched. Just over 100 hours in total.

My advice would be, be prepared, know the game, concentrate, and bump your HP up as high as you can - with HP in the 600s, the enemies will barely look at you, no matter how squishy you are.
Oh, and above all, be confident! If you know you can do it, you will.

Going to go and treat my girl to some 15k armour now

Only way I know of to make the Am Fah friendly is this:

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Seek_out_Brother_Tosai

Don't complete that quest, and they never attack you.

This is going to be the death of me. I have a compulsive disorder so when I find out about things such as this I have to get them.

I deleted my lv20 when I gave a hero a second profession accidentally during the sneak peek and couldn't undo it. It makes things that should be fun less so.

Ignorance is bliss.

Adelia · Oct 27, 2007, 08:39 PM // 20:39

I got to lvl 1 survivor but got killed by temple guardians in the Tahnnakai Temple mission,

I don't think I will restart though, it was my 2nd try, but gd luck to any1 else going for any of the lvl's

RedNova88 · Nov 02, 2007, 08:34 AM // 08:34

I got Legendary Survivor on my Warrior after much effort and time... That's what I get for making a proph character =/ OH and don't forget the wonders and joys of getting scammed out of runs...

Also as far as I know the fastest POSSIBLE way to get LS is in around 6 hours (after hitting level 20) with a fire/earth ele. I could swear there was a thread on it in guru but I cant find it. In either case it just involved zoning in and out of an area in the proph campaign on HM to kill 8-10 Minotaur while a scroll was active. That's essentially what I did... But me being as paranoid as I am I took 2 hero bonders and left them out of range so that I didn't have to share XP.

I guess the best way to go for survivor is just get max armor ASAP, and find a safe spot to kill enemies that wield a nice amount of xp. Or if you have the extra cash you could always cap elites, just be careful around Mesmers and Necromancers... Especially boss ones, I know lots of people who have died because of a lost enchant.
