Arrow Best xp farm for survivors?

Hello!

I've allways wanted character with Legendary Survivor. Now I decided that it is time to make it. I've been reading these topics about xp farming. Which is the best way to get xp, is it wurm farming, Kilroy or Jade Knights? Can you pls post the amount of experience you will get and time of the run?

FFF or kilroy

FFF in lutgardis is also good for racking up title (PvE skills), kilroy is less boring and yields a nice amount of gold

don't know the exact numbers, but both should get you from level 20 100k exp to 1300k exp in 10 hours

Do you need some specific profession to do FFF? Can link me some page to see more info about it?

Kilroy is really fast if you have the money to dump into good scrolls.

Kilroy nets you decent cash in dropped whites and the occasional gold item, especially in HM (Got me a Q9 Dwarven axe wee)

Hunters scrolls for 300g are a good choice, as runs should only take about 7-10 minutes.

It depends on your objective - do you want a slower, safer run or do you want to get as much XP as quickly as possible?

Before EoTN was released I did a lot of research into XP farming while writing my guide and the best 'safe' run i found was farming all 95-ish Jade Brotherhood with a Me/Mo or Mo/Me for 72,000XP in 20 min. It's great fun but definitely not without risk - 1500HP spikes from 15 Jade Brotherhood with Mesmer interrupts can hurt with the wrong build.

The safest way to farm the title now is to farm the Snow Worms from range outside Boreal Station in HM. It's a no-brainer, dead boring and relatively slow...but there is almost no risk of losing the title due to lag.

The best way to do it is the Kilroy Stonekin quests - just take scrolls and stand up before the timer runs out and you can't lose (unless lag hits). The XP gain is exceptional (over 20,000XP per run in HM), the run is very safe, fun & cashflow positive and you can easily churn out the title in a day.

Which is better, Kilroy HM or Kilroy NM? When I am doing HM I need to use multiple scrolls. Sometimes I need to use many scrolls at NM aswell. Some enemies doesn't restore rampage. Anyone can link me a video from HM run?

And should I skip the last boss to make this quest again and again without beating those champions? It takes ~7min to beat the champions to get the quest again for me.

If you can manage it in HM, then that's better. Not sure what I did wrong, but when I did it with my ele I stuck to NM, because I couldn't make it halfway through HM before the knock outs got too risky.

To be able to get the same quest again after completing it, just zone between districts or log in and back out after turning it in.

In Kilroy's, when knocked out, if you get back up before the timer runs out it doesn't count as a death. If you fail to get up it does, though.

Yup, and a tip from my experience....DON'T DO IT WITH LAG/BOTTON-RIGHT CORNER THINGIES GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE, YOU GET SPIKED (SPECIALLY ON HARD MODE).
And remove your Windows key aswell, mine does it on its own wierdly....:S
