Default Farming ur Survivor title.(wintersday style)

It's simple, it's fast, it's profitable,

First of all u need to take a quest from a guy named Rift Warden. The quest -you're a mean one, mr. grenth - gives you 1k exp points and 5 ccs. However, if u do the quests it won't be longer available so what we gonna do is...do it over and over again. U finish the quest when u recover all 5 stolen presents, so remember not to do this. Just kill all the grentchies there are, go back to kamadan/LA and talk to Rift Warden again...

So, basically u get about 250 exp per grentchie and about 500 per boss. there are about 15 grentchies so u get ~3750 exp for them and 500 exp for a boss. Tho, that's not enough, u get ~ 2 frozen ectos and some ccs per 1 run.

U can start farming ur exp points at lvl 1 because when u take the quest u get 500 hp points and some good skills.

Thank you for ur attention.

Yeah those quests are a good way to level up easily.

Personally I prefer to take 'In Grenth's Defense' instead because all you have to do is stand there, cast hidden rock, throw a few more snowballs and dodge.

Stupidly easy with a Ritualist as all you need to do is keep Jack Frost up all the time. Gained 2 levels with my Ritualist doing this so far and one hell of a lot of CC Shards and frozen Ectos.

Also, you can do the whole quest and the bonus, just don't accept the reward and when you get back to town just abandon the quest and repeat.

Wiki reports these quests as repeatable. All you need to do is log off and back on to reset.

Be aware, you need sunspear points to progress which you can't get if you level too much.

Quests are repeatable, but you need to complete one after another.

This is a better way, since you get extra xp and rewards on top of xp from kills.

so if you overfarmed yourself and got too high a level, you wont be able to progress in the game, and you would be stuck in the noob island?

No, they have it so you can't get rank9 sunspear.

How is this even fast? If you faction farm or solo farm something like Hekets, you'll make XP way faster. Killing a single monster (even at one monster a minute) at 250 XP is very slow.

If i remember correctly, level does not have anything to do with sunspear points. Sunspear is all about killing the certain types of mobs isnt it? Not about the level, as long as you kill it?

Thx,

You can't get bounties if you are too high, and if you don't have enough by a certain point and can't do anymore quests you are stuck.

Correct. You need to get some sunspear points from killing mobs (at least 5, preferably more if you don't want to be running around looking for *every* quest) before leveling all the way to 20 to avoid being stuck on noob island forever.

Peace,

i'm not positive but i believe this has been fixed in the christmas update, where they added new quests and updated old ones.

How fast can you do the run, though? I can do Jade Arena (Luxon repeatable) in <5 mins from zone to zone, and thats 2000 exp + kills.

Well, I think the OP is talking about the level 1 survivor title. By the time you get to the Jade Arena, or off the island to farm hekets, you're well past that point. Not to mention, even for additional levels of survivor, you have to complete several missions before getting to the Jade Arena, including Vizunah Square, Tahnakkai Temple, Arborstone, Boreas Seabed, among others, which is daunting for some.

well, when i did the last 200k exp for my legendary survivor and was too tired of capping elites, the best spot was vermin farming... nice gold + exp... i dont know it if works as fast anymore though because of the farming nerf but any warrior that wants to get the title that is the place to be (at least in cantha, hadn't brought that char to any other continents)

How many points do I need exactly to avoid getting stuck cuz I'm already up to level12 using the Grenth's Defence quest with my dervish.
Also to make the leveling process faster use scrolls, u get up to 700exp per snowman

Doesn't need to be fast. It's safe.

She is actually correct. If you don't know this, you are a noob. You need Sunspear titles in order to proceed in Nightfall and if you are too high of a level you will be cut off to hunt the points for the bounties. That's why it's recommended to powerlevel after you do the quests that requires titles.

I seem to remember someone else that didn't know this a little bit back.
