wats the point for making it hard when many ppl already got r9 using r7 res method???

n if they really wanted to make the sunspear title hard, why didn't they fix the r7 res method for sooo long? when they could have easily fixed it.

kade · Dec 02, 2006, 03:08 AM // 03:08

is it possible to get R9 with the new update?

thelessa · Dec 02, 2006, 04:46 AM // 04:46

and if it is possible, how?

Xunlai Master · Dec 04, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

anyone worked out a way to get R9 yet? (besides the r7 res method)

i wonder how many ppl r stuck on R8..

It's still impossible to get via any normal means. Meaning once you reach rank 8, your stuck.

Aww. If that scout in Issnur Isles used to give blessings for insects even after you reach rank 8, he does not give them anymore. I went to him yesterday after I got rank 8 sunspear and he said he admires me or something like that. No insect blessing from him.

WTF???

Okey going in with a lower rank person doesnt work since you need to have the blessing personally. Meaning even if someone else takes it you wont get anything without taking the blessing yourself.

Yes lightbringer is nerfed, "copied" torments doesnt give points.
And why do everyone get so upset? Do someone here seriously think that the only way of getting the title is by "cheating" anet to it? Geeze, and yes it is "cheating" with the res thing since i dont think it was ment to be like this from the biginning.

Still havent found a place where you can get points now with the elite missions. But where you get Razah, heart of abaddon, it might be there. Or they just haven't added it yet and will do it later. just be patience, the possibility of maxing the title will come.

i'm stuck at rank 8... i didn't know i coudn't get the blessings anymore, i was competing with some guildmates to see who would reach rank 9 first... none of us did it yet ¬¬

and now we are waiting for some kind of update to let us get more points...

klorbonde · Dec 05, 2006, 06:20 PM // 18:20

I knowed about the rez thing.. And i would try to do it, so i got to 7490 or somthing like that and would do it the day after.. But omg i forgot it, and i got the reward from a quest i have completed which gave me 100 points.. I was realy upset.. But now i just have to wait to they fix, so i can get r9:S

Someone posted on page 6 in this thread that a scout in Issnur Isles gives one point per insect. One point is pretty meaningless, unless it's a way to get points after rank 8, which I assumed is the reason they posted it. If that person was able to get the insect blessing from that scout even after he/she had rank 8, it does not work anymore since the update last week. If you are rank 8 the scout offers you nothing, just like every other scout in the game.

I was actually willing to sit there and kill 5,000 bugs to get the rest of the way to rank 9 if that scout gave points for insects, I hope they allow us to get max sunspear rank soon

doh

i missed that.. if anyone knows a spot like this, pm me.. i'll bring my heroes n killl 7000 bugs. its easy to kill nub bugs anyway hehe

However some methods posted here were total bs. like those who said u can still earn points by farmin with R7 or under, or doing the sub quest in Command Post quest and redoing em to earn points, etc.

Not sure what you mean. If you are talking about a rank 7-9 method than it would not work, becasue you need to kill mobs over and over again.
That can be done only in few areas where priest reses.

Or maybe im missing something?

Well yeah, considering that everyone above you said that it didn't.

Lyssas Shadow · Dec 20, 2006, 07:18 PM // 19:18

there is only one way i have found to get the rank 9 suspear title
go outside either the bone palace or any other place you can become a worm. certain monsters can ressurect each other, so kill a creature or two let them rez then kill them again. it will take a while , 3-5 hours but it works. do this when you have 7400 or so fame so you can get the sunspear enchant

Xunlai Master · Dec 21, 2006, 12:27 PM // 12:27

sunspear title is a joke thanks to anet.. still no way to get r9 once u hit r8.

they could have at least fixed r7 res method but they didn't.. maybe cos thats how they want us to get the title.
they nerfed lightbringer 3 times already, yet they still let us use the r7 res method for sunspear..

fyi - lightbringer nerf
1. removed blessing in that nub area.. where those torment res every 2 mins
(nerfed 2-3 week after nf)
2. removed exp gain from duplicate torment kills [this was mad for survivor title]
(nerfed ~1 month after nf)
3. removed lb point gain from duplicate torment kills
(nerfed 5-6 weeks after nf)

Try reading, the trick is to farm around until just before you hit r8. Then zone back somewhere. Now you go back out somewhere where it's 7 ppk. You kill the entire mob, leaving the monk/whatever to resurect the team, and move on while it does that. Just make a large circle around the zone, then you will hit r9. Many people in my guild have done this, and i'm going to do it tonight.

targetdrone · Dec 29, 2006, 06:24 AM // 06:24

If that's the only way to get r9, then in my opinion the r9 title is a bit similar to the high Unlucky titles in terms of respectability or "fame".

The things you have to do to get them aren't really inspiring or anything

I just tried the rez method, but after i killed the one group once or twice (all but the monks) i no longer gained sunspear points. So i believe that the rez method was nerfed in one of the previous updates.
