Most excellent guide. I was starting to wonder if anyone understood them.

First this is a great guide!

Second I would not say "ridiculously easy" as so far I only get a armor drop for every 25-35 kills. I can kill four at the start area then maybe two to three more before they spawn to quick to deal with so it takes a long time and a lot of rounds.

Arenanet said from the start that it would be extremely difficult (read: heavy antifarm code) to farm challenge missions. If you're there just to get armors for your own heroes, it's easy to get your 4. If you're there to mass farm armors, your best bet is to get several characters there and do a run or two on all of them every few weeks or so.

It is more like absurd!

I got first armor after about 25 kills or so the second after about another 35 more kills, I am at over 60 more kills and have not got a third.

At this rate it will take me a month to get the other three I need so yea I think your right and I am going to have to run other toons through the challenge just to get the other three I need for just for one toons set of heroes.

This is typical of Anet though, confusing challenge with just stupid, leaving us to have to figure away around it.

On my first trip back there in nine months, I got four armors out of ~15 kills. It's kinda hard to get more than 20 Maddened Spirit kills, since there are only 20 Greater Infestations. You pretty much just go in, kill a Greater, kill a Maddened, repeat until you're dead or you have four armors.

EDIT: Holy crap, it's been a year?

I did not kill them all at once I have been going in and out of the challenge killing 5-8 per round over and over. I really can't kill more than 6-7 Maddened's in any one round because they seem to spawn faster and faster the more you kill.

Edit: Got a third at 71 kills seems like the drop rate increases exponentially on these.

Based on the information I read in the guide I had no problem with the Wurms and enjoyed the double LB points in the Wastes. Thanks again.

Now for the armor farming.

The hero armors available at the Remains are:

Talhkora
Zhed Shadowhoof
Margrid the Sly
Master of Whispers

You forgot to mention Razah, you can get his hero armor there i believe

otherwise good thread, very helpful

Savio · Mar 18, 2009, 04:50 AM // 04:50

I didn't forget, I just wrote the guide before Razah was in the game. Thanks for letting me know though.

I'm tempted to put this thread out of its misery, but I can't. Someone else unsticky it if they want to.

Tut - this is a legendary Savio thread - it's staying stuck, so there

Also: Holy crap - it's been two years?

My first post ... just to say a big thank you for the guide! I just finished the first part (before reading the guide) with H/H ... I loved the wurms, and chuckled all the way through. But now, you've answered many of my questions, and I'm sure will be a help in my upcoming wurm missions.

Acumen · Apr 11, 2010, 05:44 PM // 17:44

You have -22 armor rating against elemental damage types while in a wurm. Physical can't really be tested.

Great guide. Now I can do sahlahja challenge mission. I create a tpf file with the paths on the map to do it easier. I hope it will help you all.

Thnx dude, tho I got good at RoS begore reading this guide. The first time that I got over 60 points was awesome, cos I got 5 AARs and a place on the daily score board. I think I'll leave the mission for a while as your guide suggests the drop rate of AARs goes up if you don't do it for a long time. By any chance would you mind telling me how long you waited until you played the mission again for the increased droprate?
