the above calculation of 60 foes times 600 XP per run, I assume that this is solo farming in HM with double XP scrolls? Doable for a monk primary?

You are correct and sorry I don't know of a monk build.

Since my original survivor skipped the last 25% of the title with brawling, I think i'm gonna get survivor title on my main character now doing non repetitive stuff. I think i'm going to do a full FoW run with heroes, probably a full Tombs run for the good old days, daily vanquishes/missions/bounties/WiK bounties that are not really dangerous (even that i've done them already...main char is a gwamm)

There is a variant for A/me its on wiki I believe but I got it from a friend and its a whole lot better than A/Mo imo.

Here it is: OwVUI2h5lPT8I6MHQsiLB3U2gmAA

I got LS and GWAMM on my monk doing vaettirs on yesterday. I used Mo/A with the following build:

Ebon Standard of Wisdom
Shroud of Distress
Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form
Kirin's Wrath
Symbol of Wrath
Balthazar's Aura
Snowstorm

The Standard of Wisdom is great, it helps cutting the waiting time between the smiting skills. You don't need a higher rank in smiting than 12 since Shadow Form limits the damage you can do to 12.

AND I took 3 hero monks that maintained all the enchantments I could find. The enchantments give you protection, HP and energy:

Balthazar's Spirit
Holy Veil (helps if you are a tad late while re-applying Shadow Form)
Life Barrier (E)
Life Bond
Mending
Protective Bond
Purifying Veil
Succor
Vital Blessing
Watchful Spirit

If you flag the heroes far enough away they don't share in the XP but they can still keep the enchantments on you. I bought scrolls at the merchant for 300g each that gave me times 1.75 XP (until you fail to kill a boss within 5 minutes).

Works like a charm

Acolyte Firestar, again I commend you m8! I got Legendary Survivor in 1 day, LOL I never thought it'd be possible. =D

Vaettir farming with double xp scroll. 250gl per scroll. Using 1 scroll per group (2 groups) it comes it to 19K (76 scrolls) Using 3x scrolls are USELESS! I highly advise against using them via this method as you only get 700xp per kill. (You get 600xp per kill) The triple scrolls go for? 3? 4K each? While it takes a few less runs, it costs more than 5 times as much.

So, thanks again!

I used the A/Mo smite build on pvx
I also used a bonder monk just for extra insurance that I would not die. Using this method (so far as I know) has a 100% chance survival rate.

Also, cupcakes are Merchant Summoning stones are very important.

Running to Jaga: Use 1 cupcake) When your inventory is full, simply summon a merchant, FTW!!! I got most my gold back JUST from picking everything off the ground, IDing it (including whites) and selling it to the summoned merchant ^^

I'll be getting survivor by doing 7H FoW runs. On all my chars.

Main (warrior) is currently at 800k after 7 FoW runs and several vanquishes.

On my warrior, running a /Rt spirit spammer build, solo farming 10 worms outside Boreal Station, with scrolls of Rampager's Insight. 10 x 2 x 396XP = 7920 XP per run. It seems around four minutes per run including dealing with loot.

Not sure how good an option this is but it got me past the million XP mark since yesterday afternoon, and I'm going back for some more.

{edit} There are also 2 chests per run if you're into that.

I chest run that area a long time ago (Finished title ) and wondered about those worms for survivor How long has it taken you? It must have taken lots of runs?

I did it the easy way, vaettir farming with mo/a
Using the 300g scrolls, gives 31500 xp every ~3 minutes.

9-10 hours so far, for about 1.15 million XP. I am suffering a little cramp in the spirit spamming hand, hence the side trek to the forums.

I'm sure there are quicker ways to do this, but a lot of them seem to involve special armour runes or being a certain primary class or whatever. I just dived in with gear/skills I already had to see if it worked, then kept going.

can someone link to a 7H FoW run? I couldn't find any.

Tried to go LS with my main toon, a ranger, but couldn't find a good build to do so. I'll do the A/Me Vaettir too, didn't know the build, since it's so easy and quick.
