It can be done from about lvl 5 on Normal Mode with relative ease. You need to do NM until HM can be accessed, then NM is a waste of time as it takes longer to perform the run and you get less XP.

I did a heap of experimentation with Life Barrier and Spirit Bond, you can see the videos near the bottom of the OP.

Long story short, in NM and HM the Jade Knights will trigger SB on Triple Chop and Furious Axe hits with Life Barrier at 16.

Occasionally in NM, you'll get a sword-wielding Jade Knight who doesn't use TC and FA, and therefore won't trigger SB. Map the spacebar to Log Out for a quick escape.

Hey I was just wondering, I am about level 6 and I have only level 6 Dunkoro and Koss. I am a Paragon. I was wondering can I start the farming now, or do I have to level my Dunkoro, level myself, or what?

Well for my personal way of showing you. You get 1800 experience a run (no scrolls hard mode).

I am at about 530k experience which means I need roughly 800k more experience for tier 3 survivor.

Now you divide 800,000 by 1800 to get the amount of runs needed (for me anyways).

For me that means about 444 runs. (actually a little more since I am not at the exact amount needed for my title).

Now 444 runs obviously sounds like a lot and it is. If I managed to do 40 runs an hour that's still 11 hours of work.

If you have scrolls you'll get a bit less runs required, but odds are your not going to spend 80k+ on scrolls.

So trust me, even though it is a safe way theirs a lot of work to do it. for 800k experience and no scrolls your looking at roughly 444 runs. Probably can complete it in about 12-13 hours depending on how fast you speed it up.

StormAngel · Oct 03, 2007, 10:10 AM // 10:10

get yourself some stacks of kournan pendents and battle commendations. either by farming/questing with another character or buying them (in which case you may as well buy the scrolls but im not sure how much stacks go for compared to scrolls).

Commendations can be changed at Sunspear Great hall (1 (blue) for 1) and the pendents can be changed at command post (1 for 1 (blue) or 10 for 1 (gold)). im slowly building up my stocks of scrolls by doing these and keeping them on 1 character until i have enough then trade them in.

ecknine · Oct 03, 2007, 11:59 AM // 11:59

same here, i have 30-ish scrolls now, looking for people who want to trade THEIR monestary credits for MY 65 hunter ales so i can take 65 scrolls xD but my dervish is still lvl 8 :s

(can anyone poste a pictur eof the build BEST used for dervish and the bond monks, cause there are so many pictures in your tread i don't know wich one to take xD + are it only the firts 2 mobs of jade ? and what is diffirent between a hard run a modirate run and a easy run plz, ty)

Agreed, boss farming is an easy way to gain a heap of scrolls quickly. I farmed [wiki]Byzzr Wingmender[/wiki] with a 55 W/N Spoil Victor build, any X/N or N/X can do it. Takes about 1 min per run and you never get hit. He's also a goldmine for elite monk tomes, so either the cash or the tomes will help speed things along.

I posted the 55 W/N Elite Tome Farmer awhile ago - the build itself is unimportant, the video may be helpful.

Dryndalyn · Oct 06, 2007, 11:30 PM // 23:30

I have several accounts, each with at least one survivor in it. So I made a list of all the skills you need for this run and where to find them, since I have to do it many times.

I prefer to quest for skills, just because IMO it is more fun than PvP and less expensive than purchasing the skills.

I had not explored Prophesies much, so since mid summer, I have made some Prophesies characters just to go on the ‘Prophesies character only’ skill quests and have taken my Factions/Nightfall characters all around Prophesies to do some elite captures and skill questing.

In case anyone else wants to get the skills the way I did, rather than do PvP, here is a complete list.

All I have to take really is Spirit Bond and Protective Spirit right? If I give my two heroes all the enchantments they can just cast them on me and i'm good to go right?

MercenaryKnight · Oct 09, 2007, 02:39 AM // 02:39

Yes that's all you need. I bought a elite monk tome and also bring shield of judgement, just incase your scared or something. It will slow down their attacks and help you map out to guild hall or something incase your in trouble.

MercenaryKnight · Oct 10, 2007, 03:44 AM // 03:44

I was almost tempted to go to urgoz, seeing as how i'm roughly 450k away from my goal, I am just afraid that something will go wrong. I can lag out or get a blue screen of death, so I doubt i'll be doing that any time soon.

I feel jealous of all the rts or rangers who can do the hard mode splinter barrage with some of those quests for all those margonites or whatever.

With hard mode they can probably get a good 60+k a run which could probably be the fastest legendary survivor if they tried them.

Brandon1107 · Oct 10, 2007, 08:58 PM // 20:58

and I died...(after just getting survivor)

so sad. Not going to delete him thought...i think. I had all the enchantments up, went into hardmode and aggroed both groups going out of symbiosis, which I have been doing and was running back to symbiosis and I got surrounded and body blocked outside of symbiosis and before I knew it, I was dead.

True story.

Now I will make a canthan monk and try this a second time. Not making another paragon. It was too boring on Istan.

radiance · Oct 12, 2007, 01:28 AM // 01:28

this may sound incredibly stupid but when i try to get my heroes to cast enchantments on me it does the animation around me but doesnt go on...glitch or nerf? or im i just stupid?

Friar Khan · Oct 12, 2007, 09:08 AM // 09:08

You have to shift-click disable the heroes maintained enchantments, otherwise their energy management AI causes them to instantly stop maintaining them.

radiance · Oct 13, 2007, 05:48 PM // 17:48

thanks ^^ i got cornered outside of symbiosis and died at 465,000 xp with a rit, i dont feel like restarting atm either... so im kinda pissed
