Default How will you get Legendary Survivor?

Now that we got this lovely new update how do you guys plan to get survivor?

For me it's gonna be vaetir farming, eotn weekend vanquishes, and other simple farms

Let your ideas flow.

Boring vaettir farming for me aswell. Eh, at least it's easy. Unfortunately most xp scrolls were sold out at the scroll trader.

I may just do a lot of books in HM and then turn those in all at once. Could have some decent synergy with the Zaishen quests.

If I get really lazy, Kath hammers are cheap enough for me.

Well I just did the math so here goes. It's for the guys that can Vaetir farm.

Say you take a double XP Scroll, you originally get 300xp from the Vaetir so you would get 600 XP, you kill all the vaetirs which equals up to be 60 kills per run, so you would get 36,000 XP per run, each run takes about 3 minutes on average to finish. 36,000 is a good amount so do 3 runs which will equal 108,000 XP and it will take 9 minutes to complete. So lets see the equation.

60 foes X 600 exp = 36,000 XP
1,337,000 XP (LS) / 36,000 XP = 37.138888888889 = 38 runs
38 runs X 3 minutes = 114 minutes
114 minutes / 60 minutes = 1.9 hours

So there it is, it would be even faster with LB scrolls but those are out of stock for a lot of people

If I did something wrong just tell me

(P.S. It's too late to be doing math, even simple math at that haha)

I'm just gonna Kilroy it I think.
Got plenty of LB scrolls sitting in storage for that.

Some other chars will get it through regular gameplay though.

Haha out of stupidity and not paying attention I've had to map out, not to mention the time I actually died so that set me back, but im at 800k exp and I wont be getting LS tonight, gonna get it tomorrow .

@ dmoney51 - Kath hammers were 4k before the update, im not sure how much they've went up or if they have.

- You buy a lot of hammers.
- You run (get run) to the dungeon.
- You take the quest.
- You accept the reward, handing in one hammer.
- You rezone into the dungeon and back out.
- You take the quest.
- You accept the reward, handing in one hammer.
- etc.
- You get legendary survivor!

Doing VQs/Missions etc, that's is how I got my first LS on my Warrior. Spamming Kilroy/Hammers feels lame to me, especially considering how you can get it even if you die.

I do recall a post around a yr ago - not sure who did it but CEDevilman springs to mind and they actually had screens of a chr bonded by 3 heros getting LS from vaetires in a few hrs using scrolls.

And 1.9hrs for us non maths ppl is 1hr 54 mins
