3* prot and then depending on your wealth either carto *2 or skill hunter * 2
Or you can farm ss & lb points.

Do the titles that are the most fun, for me these were the protector and skill hunter titles. They send you all over the place and you're not just repeating things. There are a couple of challenges with both of them, so it should keep you interested too.

Both Sin and War should be fine for hero/henching the titles. War's tend to find pugs easier, but you should manage on either. Go with whatever you enjoy the most. This is especially important if you're going to look at the higher koabd ranks. Things like cartographer and vanquisher can take so long and in some places are so tedious, that you'll probably never want to do them twice.

25 max at mo.

skill hunter, sweet tooth and drunkard are fun but damn expensive.

You're missing the point. I get that it might take a little more effort for new players. There are still some missions that are a bitch for the older players to do too, but compared to other titles Protector and SS/LB are nothing. Would you rather someone recommended them doing Survivor, Drunkard/Sweet Tooth, Wisdom/Treasure Hunter, DoA or Vanquisher? They're not going to have the experience, skill/skills or money to do any of those.

If they need help or advice then they should ask for it. That's what Q&A, The Campfire and Pugs and Grouping are for.

When people are going for KoaBD they want it as fast as possible. And there's a reason these same titles are always suggested.

Also, if achieving something that you find hard, but other, more experienced players think is easy takes the joy out of it then why are you doing it in the first place?

monthypythongrail · Nov 29, 2007, 08:21 PM // 20:21

well,im certainly glad with all ur advice,now im clearing up something
the highest achievement i have now is finishing factions on my warr on normal mode..(not even mastered) so im not experienced at all,gotta say that im pretty rich tho. i got bout 1mill cash cuz i won a fancy mini pet once.
so considering i dont wanna spend more then 500k,are there any titles that i can max with that?

and now for the noob question:what the hell is a pug

wetsparks · Nov 29, 2007, 08:49 PM // 20:49

pug=pick up group
500k is more than enough to get you all skill hunter titles (3 campaign and 1 legendary as mentioned) it is not even close to being enough for sweet tooth or drunkard unfortunately. cartography might be a bit difficult in some areas if you are not very experienced as some areas can be a major pain, but skill hunter (using wiki) would be your best choices.

Plus skill-hunting & mapping is actually pretty fun, unlike grinding for ss/lb. I'm at the second-highest on both, and I just can't get myself to grind any more. It's so boring it doesn't just stop the clocks, it peels the paint off the walls.

Silly Warrior · Nov 29, 2007, 10:52 PM // 22:52

Honestly, rather than capping 200+ elites, just do this.

1. Protector of Elona, Cantha, and Tyria
2. SS/LB farm for both Legendary Sunspear and Holy Lightbringer.

Easiest combo, imo.

Plus, its free.

Oh, and if you're doing LSH you should definitely get Mapping Out. It helps immensely.

Cartographer is the most boring shit ever. Ijust decided to do it the day before yesterday. Thank goodness I already had about 80% done (got 90 yesterday). Though I'm sure it's when you really get down to 95-99% that it becomes a real pain.

I personally started with Protector, LSH, and SS.

Earth · Nov 30, 2007, 09:28 AM // 09:28

You could always get 4 protector + dwarf if you have EotN... Pretty easy.

Yang Whirlwind · Nov 30, 2007, 02:55 PM // 14:55

I would go with the Warrior for this - you might decide to go for tier 2 when you've done the first 5 maxed titles - and like one of the others mentioned Warriors have much more luck picking up PUG's than Sins.

Got 12 titles so far and working on about 6 atm (mostly Tyrian Vanquisher - 30/54 and Legendary Alehound 8000 min.)

Cheers!
