Survivor Title 2012 - Guild Wars Forums

Wbrkr · Mar 28, 2012, 09:46 PM // 21:46

Im trying to get GWAMM on my main and lack this, i previously did it quite a few years ago on a dervish character back when you had to not die from creation.
Back then i did the kilroy punchout quest repeatedly on HM. it never seemed that difficult.

I tried to do it today on my Ritualist, i even modded my armor and weapon to get maximum armor benefits but it seems i drop so easily and the dwarves have much more hp/dmg than before. Mainly down to some skill changes. The first boss interupts on every melee hit making it very difficult and skill 1 seems to be bypassed by some enemys.
I feel like i wont be able to fully complete it anymore. Has anyone managed the title recently maybe i could be doing it better like using run speed candy to cause kilroy to revive.
if its not completeable would it be a better idea to just run normal mode. Or should i just do HM until i cant continue as the mobs still give more xp.

Is there other alternatives? i looked guildwiki but everything seemed low xp/hour in comparison.

I still need 1 more rank of kurzick so if theres anything safe i could run with that even if its low doing 2 at once would work out better. I occasionally die in my vanquishes on big pulls / unlucky earth spawns so would rather not risk it on that.

I know 2 other ways, one is faster and hard and the other is slower but safe:
The fast and unsafe is vaetir farm, if you get any lag or something your chances of dying is high, but in a few runs you'll get the title.

The slower safe one is the wurm farm outside the Boreal Station, specially as a Ritualist, just go there and kill the wurms, the XP is good, they don't move and only attack at melee range, even if you disconnect you won't die.

Yes it is still completable. The boss is harder than before the warrior hammer/tactics update, but still totally doable.

Practice some more and you shall be fine.

Skill cap elites this weekend if you have not already gotten LSH, you can get Legendary Survivor title along with your Legendary Skill Hunter.

Do yourself a favor and do Normal Mode. The time you save outweighs the bonus experience and you still get the same XP from finishing the quest. A recent update gave enemies more health in HM, making it even more of a pain than it was.

I did the legendary skill hunter a couple weeks ago and as a side effect I ended up with the legendary survivor title. It should be pretty easy to do with this weekends event as the last poster stated. Unless of course you already have a large chunk of elite skills done. You will only need to capture 120ish skills (plus the exp from the mobs around the skill bosses). Or if you already have a filled book turn it in either before or after doing skills knocking that down even more.

Thanks all for the suggestions, i got LSH awhile ago and im trying not to spend much gold as i still need to finish party title.

I did duel of the houses a few times earlier. It is incredibly easy takes like 2 minute for alittle over 2k exp and some kurz faction. Im thinking of just running this as i dont think its much less exp/hour than wurms yet im also getting some kruz + gold with no chance of ever dieing.

Likely not the most efficient method, but depending on your tolerance for grind and how comfortable you are with running HM missions...a former alliance-mate got to LS with 20 full HM books. Specifically, 20 HM Shiro's Return books.

20 HM books = 1.2mil xp and 2.4 mil Kurzick/Luxon faction. Dying is not a worry as all the xp is accumulated afterwards in town when you turn in the books and bonus objectives (specifically the time limit on some Factions missions) are not required.

Bonus fun if you turn on All Chat in K. City when you turn in all the books and listen to ppl trying to figure out what you're using to gain those skill points one after another

Vaettirfarming with bonder gives you a few extra seconds if you fail.
So I would say thats pretty safe.
