Elite skill hunters. - Guild Wars Forums

Dear GWG, For a while now i've been working on my Legendary elite skill hunter title on my dear Warrior-ess. I've accomplished so far:

90/90 Tyria skills
78/120 Cantha skills
37/141 Elona skills

My question to you is now, To finish this crusade I need a vast amount of skillpoints, Where would you find the best place to farm for exp? Drops are a nice bonus, But EXP is my main concern.... I try to do all the elona missions properly since they give 3 skillpoints if mastered right?

Thank you in advance, numri.

FFF or Kilroy's Dungeon.

Basically any place that people do Survivor for xp. If you look in the service threads, those are the locations most survivor services run.

Rothaga · Feb 14, 2008, 03:53 PM // 15:53

I would say just work on protector titles, that would help, then maybe work for guardian.

TheRaven · Feb 14, 2008, 04:02 PM // 16:02

FOW can be a nice experience builder as well if you clear it. Plus you get some loot and a statue in your Hall of Monuments.

I'd suggest just doing what you consider fun. Vanquishing, mastering missions, fow/uw, FFF farming all give experience. Just pick the option you enjoy the most and then it won't seem like so much grind.

Another option, if you're rich and prefer to buy the title rather than work on it, buy elite tomes. Using a tome doesn't take a skill point.

MirkoTeran · Feb 14, 2008, 05:18 PM // 17:18

Try some of the surviver runs, or do some quests that give you a lot of XP (Titan ones come in mind.). FoW is also not so bad.

quickmonty · Feb 14, 2008, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Don't forget that you get 5K experience when you cap an elite, plus the experience you will earn killing things to get to a boss.

You will have to farm some experience. A good way to do that is working on some of the other titles.

The Way Out · Feb 14, 2008, 05:25 PM // 17:25

Whatever you do, do it in Hardmode!

Underworld runs are good for it now, in an hour you get 100,000xp plus whatever drops.

DoA clears are great for xp.

The Deep in Hard Mode.

Eye of North Dungeons in HM.

EotN Hard Mode Books... etc...

FFF has also been a great way, however, it is a bit slow and boring for me when compared to other means.

Orange Milk · Feb 14, 2008, 05:34 PM // 17:34

YES, do it in HM.

You hav a Warrior plenty of Solo farms out there for warriors.

Plus those scrolls of exp that always drop when I kill a boss, instead of an elite tome or a green.

I remember when I was going for that title on my Ranger and I had a now nerfed farm run down so perfectly that I got a skill point every ten minutes, with scroll help. Now I have the title and about 200 unused skill points

Fried Tech · Feb 14, 2008, 07:06 PM // 19:06

If you have characters in GWEN you can go to the consumables trader and exchange your unused skill point on one player into a "star of transferance". Toss the stars into storage and put them on your warrior. double click and BAM instant skill point for your warrior.

That is a costly way of getting skills... ouch. /homeless after a couple days... lol

Boris De Pig · Feb 14, 2008, 07:25 PM // 19:25

if you're a warrior then a few vermin-farming solo runs should be reasonable. I think it's about 3k per run, so 6k per out and back. Using scrolls could speed up the xp gain.

Vanquishing has left me with a ridiculous number of skill points too.

its also the reason that they made the star. to move skill point from one char to another.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Feb 14, 2008, 08:50 PM // 20:50

I know what a star does. I know why it was made. Your reason for explaining?

numri · Feb 14, 2008, 09:26 PM // 21:26

Thanks for all the excellent suggestions.

However I just got back after a 6 months break. And I never did explore GW:en, I was so disapointed it was almost 99% PVE expansion.

What is this FFF place you talk about?

Give me a few days to get back in the lingo!

Also, Are there builds now for the deep HM where warriors are actually welcome...?

Age · Feb 14, 2008, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Why do ppl go for this title when you can't use most the elites anyway?

Nemo the Capitalist · Feb 14, 2008, 09:34 PM // 21:34

Hff.....uw For Solo Smites Etc

BLOODGOAT · Feb 14, 2008, 09:36 PM // 21:36

I don't know what your profession actually is (it says W/Mo but that could just be one of many) but if it is Monk, just act as 600 in the 600/Smite HM FoW run. You can easily get 50k exp a run and oodles more if you decide to use exp scrolls. I have 6mill exp from just casually farming FoW as a 600 and the undead outside of Bergen as a 55 which gives me more than enough skill points than I'll ever need

"Hey ladies, wanna see my title?"
