I have a toon with Legendary Survivor. I will post screen shot of it later.

This is how I got it.

I bought Eye of the North and completed it with my main toon giving me access to hard mode.

I then started a new toon in Tyria. I took the quest "Charr at the Gate" from the Prince in Ascalon. I went outside and watched as the Prince killed 3 of the 4 charr. I then mapped back to Ascalon and ran back out to kill the charr again.

I did this for 10 hours. That gave me lvl 10 and then I went to post.

I gave a shout out to my guild for a run to LA. From LA I got run to BOREALS STATION which is the first place in eye of the north.

I went to the merchant and got the 300 gold scroll and clicked on hard mode. From there I went and killed the snow wurms. After som
e modification of my build I was able to kill 10 snow wurms in 3 minutes at almost 700xp per kill.

That is 140,000 xp per hour. It is grinding but you get lockpicks and chests and golds and goodies. You can earn enough gold per run to keep you in scrolls.

So you should be able to get the maxed title in a weekend.

Oh by the way, Snow Wurms deal FIRE damage. So take a shield with the sleep now in the fire mod and use a fire weapon. If you are just about to die.. just take a step or two back.

Tip: In hard mode DO NOT EVER try and kill the OAKS at the bottom of the hill. They will kill you before you can map out. I learned this the hard way.

It's not hard to do once you get the first one. Easily done without farming...just quests, missions, elite skills, don't skimp on armor and...when all else fails...let dunkoro die in your place. My very favorite-est title...

Kudos and congrats Azul. Same for anyone that did the title the real way.

The title's really not all that hard once you get max armor, then you can go back and do all the quests and missions, just be cautious, and DON'T PuG. Just avoid the end areas of NF/Factions/Prophecies to be safe. I almost lost my title a few times due to massive spikes out of nowhere in those areas.

EDIT: Ok one more word of advice... Avoid Rit bosses! Or at the very least carry +armor vs lightning!

I am working on a sin survivor (I heard that is the hardest prof to get it on?) and ive reached 475K experience so far without much trouble, just questing and capping an elite here and there. (IMO this is a title which shouldnt be farmed)

Its easy with sin if you have 2 other melee guys in your party. If you aggro a group and move back to the rear of your party while your melee hench/heroes charge home, the enemies will stop targeting you nearly instantly, leaving you free to charge back at them and ram your daggers in them without much risk

Just around 600k right now on my Para.
Been capping like crazy.
I Wiki all the bosses in a certain zone, then go cap a skill, warp change my secondary profession go cap another one, and so on.
Repeat that process over a few zones and you'll start leveling pretty quickly.
I recommend capping in Night fall, lots of bosses, some pretty easy caps if you're already lvl 20... And there is a lot of zones with in a small area of game play.
Not to mention, unlocking the command center gets you a lot of exp and its an easy and safe way to change your secondary. Just... Not exactly cheap.

Wish me luck in the second half of my journey.
And good luck to all else.

Took me 4 hrs. to take my sin from creation to LS using the keg farming method. In HM you'll get 36k per run with scrolls (600 epx * 60 foes = 36 000 exp).

Takes about 30-40 runs, depends on how much exp you have before farming

yes, what's the keg farming method?

also if you lose while brawling, that doesn't count as a "death"?

i haven't played GW in months but I'm an old vet...when i stopped playing, i was reaching for the LS title with my para (somewhere between 400-500k atm...i'm using the HM jade brotherhood farming method.)

if you grind for the title yourself, regardless if you use a farming method or do it the old fashioned way, i believe the title is truly credible. if you have other people do everything for you, leech, etc. then that's just lame.

I just bugged nam over of a PM on the keg thingy - but I think this might be it:

gather a bunch of vaettirs together, grab powderkegs from Budger and drop them as fast as you can.

Boom - exploding vaeter all over the place.

exit to Bajor and then back to Jaga to reset the vaettirs and do it again until your pack is full of golds and tots (don't bother with whites, blues or purples cause you will get a ton of golds and don't want to have to jump back to town to sell junk and make that long run again)

Some things to make it easier:

1: run skills, obviously, to make the trip faster.
2: drunkenness + dwarven stability to keep from getting knocked down if you get too close to the modnirs or avalanches on the way
3: ebon escape so that if the vaetirrs happen to box you in (which tends to happen with holiday lag) you can jump to Budger
4: a book to read or music to listen to cause, man, does it get boring after a while.

If you do not GET UP IN TIME your death count increases.
If you are K.O-ed but manage to get in in the time give - you are fine.

Thank you upier for posting the answer for me, my connection was down whole yesterday.

the keg farming method is VERY fast, but also very risky. 1 death and its over.
I suggest that if you dc a lot, lag a lot, dont try it

Didn't expect to find this thread on the first page of the Community Works, I forgot I even made this.

I haven't updated this thread because I haven't played Guild Wars in a while. Started a couple of days ago, and I'm going for Legendary Survivor on my new Monk.

I'll try to put some time in this thread. It would be nice if someone could provide some information about getting this title in Eye of the North, as I don't have it (yet).

Another very good tip is in EotN, Kilroy Stonekin's Dungeon quest is nice and quick for 10-20 and you don't technically die in his dungeon, so it works out.

Just so noone reads brawn's statement and doesn't care about dying in the stonekin dungeon. You will receive a death if you get knocked down and fail to get up in time. They call it a K.O. but you still receive a death. So be careful if you do the punchout quest over and over.

Changed the guide to pretty much a "Kilroy Stonekin's Punch-Out Extravaganza!" guide as I believe most people on these boards have Eye of the North and this by far the best option when going for Survivor. Even though lag could still get you killed, that goes for pretty much any other method as well.

If you don't have Eye of the North, you should really go and buy it, with prices like the ones I've been seeing it's practically a steal!

( I have noticed a drasticly increased ping when I came back to Guild Wars after over a year. Has it been this bad for a long time, or is it most likely temporarily? )

The wurms outside of Boreal Station.
They are melee BUT stationary. You can degen them to death easily or bomb them with things like Wastrel's Worry or spirits. It might not be insanely fast - but it's probably the safest thing for people with lag. The drops aren't half bad AND you get to advance your Norn title.
A lot of win there!

After losing my Indomitable Survivor to a lag spike while boxing I decided to restart. After about 20 hours of boxing later I'm finally Legendary Survivor, and even earned 100K during the process. I guess boxing isn't the safest way there is, but the money made it all worthwhile.

Good luck to the rest of you!

On my monk, I usually offer to heal people for XP in return. It works great on missions and quests.
