Since you got 9 sunspear, might as well finish it. Try to get guardian/vanquisher maybe? While doing cartographer or something on the side. DO NOT attempt Savior of Lux/Kurz unless you want your life to be consumed by GW.

Seconded, and thirded. This brilliant tool was instrumental in my completion of LSH without too many headaches.

I thought that Legendary Skill Hunter would be less of a grind than other titles but that wasn't the case. Not only was it a real bore in the end but it also cost a fortune in cap signets and when I ran out of skill points with about 15 elites still to capture it was even worse. I ended up farming for xp so that I could get enough skill points. Took ages. On the plus side, because you are killing hundreds of bosses, you will probably pick up quite a few green items.

Farming SS/LB out from Remains of Sahlahja in HM, though boring, can at least be done in PUGs which provides a bit of entertainment. It is also very lucrative - I went from having zero cash after getting Legendary Skill Hunter to over 250k by the time i'd maxxed out SS and LB - lots of lockpicks, tomes and gold items.

The least boring of the titles I achieved was actually Grand Master Cartographer of Tyria, though you would think it would be mind-numbingly boring. I really enjoyed watching those percentage points slowly creeping up and the high-end areas (eg Ring Of Fire Islands) were quite a challenge.

It shows the location of each elite skill, the boss that it comes from, and on top of that it shows you if they have a green to grab as well. It also shows the locations of collectors and allows you to make notes on the map as well!

I'm actually shocked that it slipped all the way to the 3rd page of Community Works. It's one of those posts I always felt deserved "sticky" status.

Thanks for the link! I downloaded it, and it is an impressive tool. It does have one or two bugs though. When I tried to check off all of the skills that my character had gotten "Charge!" was missing from the list.

You've probably already marked it, and it was set to not show skills you already had. Take a good look at the settings

It also doesn't show core skills in some situation, depending on how you set it.

Like the others said, Go for Sunspear and Lightbringer, with skill capping on the side. The SS/LB runs will get you cash and experience, although you can always craft a bunch of Stars of Transference on a different character and get more skill points. If you only need the Luxon side in Cantha, take the time to do that as well, it's not hard and it will mean another title maxed

I have started with the Core elites and it hasn't become a grind, at least yet. I am going to cap the elites by class so I can keep track easier.

I have plenty of skill points (229), so that won't be a problem. I can tell money will be a problem though. I have 19 platinum in storage and I can tell it won't last long. So I will need to grind SS/LB points to get more money anyway.

Right now I'm at 12/90 Tyrian, 11/141 Elonan, and 9/120 Canthan so I have a ways to go yet!

I found "Charge!" It wasn't where I expected; the quotes take it out of alphabetical order. It sure is an incredible program!

I'm going to have to go for LB and SS; I'll need the money!
