Questions on 'Survivor' - Guild Wars Forums

Hi

If there is already a similar thread to this one I appologise for starting it but I don't seem to find it.

I have started a survivor recently, a paragon and I am uncertain on several things related to the intricasies of not dying. So Here are my questions.

1/ If you get a mission fail, eg an npc dying like Rastigan in FOW, does it count as a death?

2/ If you get crushed by a Ball in a dungeon or one of those pounders in sorrows furnace, does it count as a death?

3/ If you get a mission fail as a result of a timer reaching zero, does it count as a death?

4/ If you resign in a mission or quest does it count as a death?

5/ Is there a safe way to get XP in big quantities in a safe mode? I have heard of HFF which I have no idea what it entails and I have also heard of doing the Ironfist solo dungeon using scrolls. Surely if you get ko'd in that dungeon it must count as a death, no?

Thanks in anticipation

1. Nope, but there have been occassions (bugs) where it has...

2. Nope, ANY instant death mechanism doesn't count.

3. Nope, but... (See 1)

4. Nope.

5. FFF is 100% safe if you let someone run you... You can pretty much go afk(I think you do have to accept quest reward. The fastest way, I think, is indead Kilroy Punchout Extravagante in Boreal Station. When u get knockeddown, all u got to do is spam click Skill nr8, or as Wiki suggests: Bind all "skill keys" (nr1->8) to "activate skill 8" so u can pretty much roll your head over your keyboard.

I myself used the GH glitch (Travel, I know, I'm bad) to get mapped to boreal station, and then no-lifed the Kilroy quest for 10 hours. Got me LS

No. Anything that causes instant-death will not kill you.

If you get KO'd and fail to stand up, it will be a death. But if you do "Stand Up!" then it does not count as a death.

Here is a list of helpful links on GWW that should help you out. People are probably going to post "omg, just use wikiz0rs" or some such inane unhelpful shit, but it and Guild Wiki are a fount of knowledge.

Survivor is definitely the most frustrating titles to max. Hell, just getting "Survivor" is hard. I maxed it by first doing every mission I felt safe in then capping elites. During a double elite experience weekend I was getting 10k exp for each elite. Didn't take super long and with some minimal statergies it wasn't too dangerous, either (not to mention the green drops :P) GL!

Same goes for Death Pact Signet? I mean in case the teammate you resurrected with Death Pact Signet dies and so do you(in a way, even though you don't get Death Penalty), will this count as a death? Just wondering..
