Augury Rock Ascending/Non-Tyrian character - Guild Wars Forums

Thowra Wildfire · Sep 03, 2008, 01:03 PM // 13:03

A quick background:
I have a young Rit I've decided to go for the Survivor title on (not using HFFF or boxing) who is only a couple of quests away from the Nahpui mission. However, as the Augury Rock mission gives 50k xp if you've not already Ascended, figured it'd be worthwhile making the trek to the Desert/missions.

Have searched and found a few older threads to confirm that Canthan or NF can use this mission to ascend, most recent I found was May this year. A couple of posts in that thread confirmed receiving the 50k xp.

Whats got me worried though was this little sentence from wiki:

Quote:

Quoted from Guildwiki
Rewards
50,000 XP, unless the character has already completed the Nahpui Quarter (mission) in Factions or done the Sunspear Outpost quests in Nightfall, although it is still possible for characters from other campaigns who have not completed these other missions/quests to still not receive the 50,000.

Found an older thread (~ 2007) where several people had reported not receiving the 50k xp, only the normal xp for mission/bonus.

So was wondering - has anyone completed this mission recently (say in the last month) with a Canthan (or NF) character and had no problem receiving the extra xp (or didn't receive it?)

Thanks.

Thowra, did you check the updates since the thread date to see if this bug was fixed?

If nothing is mentioned, I guess you'll just have to take the chance. I haven't heard anything recently about that problem.

I regret that I couldn't be more helpful.

I do Augury Rock all the time w/non-Tyrian born characters for exactly that reason.

I get them to LA, run myself to Sanctum Cay, do the 3 missions to unlock Augury Rock and then defeat the Dopp. I've always received the 50k XP (my longest time to defeat the Dopp was 1 min - with a W/something, iirc.)

So - yes, it is very do-able! Good luck to you!

And good for you going after LS w/o faction farming or the punch out thingy! I've gotten mine legit that way, too - just by playing through the game and capping elites.

Same here. (Last one was a ranger from NF five minutes ago.

Cool — then my sin is making a little trip tonight.

My Paragon recently got the full 50k XP. It took a huge chunk of time off of his Legendary Survivor title!

Wish I had thought of that while getting my survivor on my paragon

Edit: Worked out fine, had a weeked of double xp for capping elite skills. I capped everything that I could get to w/o dying, a few came close tho, but I made it!

Thanks for the replies all - looks like my Rit can pack his suntan lotion for a little side-trip to the desert

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly my plan too (well, along with a friend who also has a survivor hopeful).

Thanks - it certainly puts a different spin on how you approach certain missions/areas (well, definately for me it does - I really don't want to think too long on how many deaths my main character (Necro) has managed to attain

).

Ouch - still, hope it worked out ok.

Cheers.

um I have one LS and am currently helping my wife get her mes to ls status.

She is starting from proph but has GW:EN. so at lvl 10 (presearing) I will run her to kill Snow Wurms outside of Boarial Station.

There is an Armor trader there that offers MAX armor that looks Really UGLY.
When doing this, you should end up with the LS title and well over 100K doing so. This took me 3 tries (oaks killed me twice in hard mode). Takes 1 week.
