Upcoming Weekend (where to farm?) - Guild Wars Forums

Killed u man · Jul 30, 2010, 11:54 AM // 11:54

As I still need to max just about every GWEN title, and the double reward weekend incomming, I wondered what the best places were to farm some points for the titles.

I've, obviously, tried using both wikis aswell as PvXwiki first, but it's really hard to get a good overview, and I'dd rather just ask here where experienced players can give a semi-detailed lay-out.

So what I'm pretty much looking for is the following:

What's the fastest way to max each individual title? If the anwser is speedbooking for all of them, then simply give the fastest way "using the weekend" (aka killing shit).

There are a number of different farms that you can do for points in eotn.

Norn - varejar fells vanquish (start at olafs) with the asuran facet quest in your log (gives you lots of bosses), or vaettir farming in jaga moraine.

Asura - raptor farming outside rata suum, either doing it yourself or leeching.

Deldrimor - best place is probably snowman dungeon.

EV - vanquishing sacnoth valley (lots of foes, but make sure you've done assault on the stronghold quest before starting, or else you won't get access to the charr base).

If you have the money, paying runners to speedbook for you works. Additionally, get some quests done (include zaishen missions and bounties) and wait until the weekend starts before accepting the rewards.

For Norn title I agree with Yol, Varejar Fells VQ with the The Path to Revelations quest on is the quickest way to get alot of norn points.

For Asuran I recall doing Magus Stones instead of farming raptors, believe it goes faster and is alot less brain damaging. Ain't sure though.

Deldrimor is indeed the easiest in Snowmans Dungeon. Hand in 4 map pieces to Koris Deeprunner to unlock the dungeon quest; Lost Treasure of Kind Hundar. You need to rezone to receive the quest again, but its a repeatable quest.

Ebon Vanguard I would skip as I think you won't have enough time to max them all and I thing EV is the slowest to grind, thus easier with books.

Speedbooking is the WORST thing to do this weekend because book points are never doubled.

What everyone else has already said.

Yes, I probably should have clarified a bit better....you don't get double points for handing in books, but the points that you get for completing the missions are. Save the books for getting EV points, as it's the most awkward one to get points for.

There are some Zaishen-quests for EOTN this weekend. Their rewards are also doubled. 5000 instead of 2500 points. If you were smart, you did the Zaishen quests from this week as well (Frostmaw from Tuesday, Bogroots from Wednesday) and turn in the quest on Saturday.

Yay for borat being as noob as me in PvE ^^

Yeah I'm mostly just interested in maxing asuran this weekend. It's only r3...
So people are recommending either Raptor farming or vanquishing Magus Stones?

I'd say those are the best bets for Asura points. Magus Stones has a ton of enemies, but IMHO, they're not as tough as most Asura areas and the chances of over aggro isn't as great as in others (Arbor Bay).

Bad thing is the ones you named are very long. But there was Mysh the other day I think, and A gate too far, those are quick so if someone saved them (I did on some chars) doing them at event already started is not bad. Also there's Oola's dungeon and Raven's point coming this weekend. Oh, and Finding the bloodstone.

For the rest I agree with others.
Maguus stones is the best even in my opinion (Arbor bay is difficult, Sparkly swamp has too much overaggro, Verdant cascades is nice because small and easy, and so fast, but not so many foes and the other two are dispersive.

might as well do ebon vanguard while the gettin is good

was wondering if you have the asura quest at olafs.. is it possible to sell the quest and rezone after they are outside- I'd buy that if it worked (already completed on my chars)

himynamesian · Jul 30, 2010, 04:39 PM // 16:39

Wait till X-Mas, Max Vangaurd in two Days.

Mustache Mayhem · Jul 30, 2010, 05:04 PM // 17:04

Ah, I see. Indeed that might be the best overall strategy if you consider life beyond the weekend.

In addition to the suggestions above:

Delver - Arachni's Dungeon
Vanguard - Sacnoth Valley VQ
