I want to get max EotN ranks on my assassin but I don't know how to go about doing this. When I looked on PvX, I found a Speedbooking build (http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:A/any_Speedbooker). Is this still viable to farm EotN points with? There seems to be some discussion on the discussion page over the current usability of it... I don't want to set up all the heroes and crap just to have it fail.

Though what I have been doing a lot recently is speed clears (SoO) with PuGs and that raised my asuran to r9. I could do the same with Kathandrax to get the Ebon rank high.

But anyway I need them all, so what's the current meta for farming these points, since there's no, clear, up-to-date info??

Thanks.

Have you tried the search function as i recall its been covered already here on guru - along with methods.

Fastest way to get all the eotn titles max, in my opinion, is filling the Heroes' Handbook NM / HM ( you need about 4 books per title ) and/ or Master Dungeon Guide NM / HM.
This or either speedbooking, which is a bit harder nowadays.

Speedbooking works, but it's not as efficient as completing most or all of each book before turning in. If you look at the reward chart, you'll see a larger increase in reward for each additional page completed beyond the minimum. Completing more pages is also slightly less repetitive than doing the same 3 quests dozens of times.

Also, pay attention to the zaishen missions and zaishen bounties. Whenever one of these occurs in Eye of the North campaign, there is a reward that will advance a title almost as much or more than a speedbook. These are worth doing, even in NM, if all you care about are the title points, as HM does not increase the portion of the reward earned.

The last thing I'll mention on this topic is: vanquishing is a more efficient use of time than is speedbooking or book completions. It's not even close. It is typically more rewarding treasure-wise as well.

finish your legendary master of the north title for a 5 for 1. If you don't finish maxing then just do HM books

Ok thanks all. For dungeons with no known speed clear build, what should I put on my heroes? Is discordway fine?

Discordway will get you quite a ways, but read up on the wiki for each dungeon. Some of them are pretty nasty, and require tricky builds to get through. Some of the undead may be better off with three monks running smite, and others may require some tweaking as well.

As for being quick, I don't think Discord has ever gotten me through a dungeon quickly. Then again, I don't do much of anything quickly.

Spiritway will get you through any dungeon in HM with ease.

Vanquishing and doing dungeons are probably your best options, and they count towards the master of the north title which is always good ^^

The fastest way to do Norn is vanquishing Varajar Fells with the Path of Revelations Quest active. The 6 bosses at the end really boosts your rep point gain, especially if you have like r4 hunt, rampage and if ur lucky enough to be on a boss bonus at the time.

For dwarven, I would do all the dungeons in NM and HM so that you have them for LMotN, and then do snowmans dungeon HM.

Asuran, SoO sc seems to work for you, otherwise vanquishing Magus Stones was popular for a while.

Vanguard, try kathandrax, otherwise speedbooking, or fully filling them out is an option. Just be careful if your filling them out, because some pages just arent worth filling in. The reason speedbooking was/is so popular, is that you could get a book good to go in about 15 minutes. And that was something like 3k rep points. If doing say DD gets you an extra 2k rep points, but takes 1/2 an hour, its not worth it coz you could have done 2 speed books in that time.

Go for the Legendary Master of the North title and you will have maxed almost all Eotn titles.
