Which Titles are easiest to max next? - Guild Wars Forums

SotiCoto · Oct 05, 2007, 02:39 PM // 14:39

Got "People Know Me" yesterday.

My Assassin got the titles in this order:

Protector of Cantha
Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer
Protector of Tyria
Canthan Skill Hunter
Tyrian Skill Hunter
Protector of Elona
Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer
Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer (three days ago)
Legendary Cartographer (three days ago)
Elonian Skill Hunter (yesterday)
Legendary Skill Hunter (yesterday)

..... But I'm not sure what should come next.
What else is there that I could effectively max? I'm not comfortable with Hard Mode (certainly not enough to get Vanquisher or Guardian titles) anywhere but perhaps the Desolation in Judundu... I am suspecting that the next stop would be getting Sunspear 8 to Sunspear 10 and then maybe Lightbringer from 5 upward....

Would I be better off starting on my hoardings of sweets and booze now instead?

Honestly... what other titles can I max out?
Or am I going to be stuck perpetually on Rank 2 Maxed Titles?

you should have done Survivor in the first place

Lawlz... Funny.

My Sin was my first character. The only character with more deaths than him is my Pre-Searing Warrior going for LDoA .... and her death-count is absolutely ridiculous.

Survivor is the one title I would never even try for... as I'm not kidding myself into thinking for an instant I could manage it. I'd probably find it easier to get the Vanquisher titles.

crazybanshee · Oct 05, 2007, 02:56 PM // 14:56

IMHO, sunspear is retardedly easy to max with worm farming in hard mode. Lightbringer isn't hard but is more of a grind, although even that isn't terrible. My favorite place to do lightbringer was hard mode domain of secrets, there's a run that takes like 20 minutes and has 2 bosses, or you can just do the whole area. I wasn't good at hard mode either when I started, but playing exclusively in hard mode made me much better at it, the trick is changing your build and bringing the right hero builds for each area. Don't be frustrated at doing an area or mission several times before you get it. Also bring lockpicks cause you can work on treasure/wisdom/lucky/unlucky at the same time, cause after you get 21 titles and you're hoarding booze and sweets and trying to figure out what title to max next you'll be happy you had a head start

And after like level 3 I'm very important, be prepared for people to accuse you of ebaying your way to the title...

Cebe · Oct 05, 2007, 02:57 PM // 14:57

Legendary Spearmarshall, Lightbringer, in fact, any "grindy grindy" titles are easy to max, albeit very VERY boring. I've managed Legendary Spearmarshall but haven't had the motivation yet to max out Lightbringer. Maybe one day.

I guess sweets and booze would be easy if you didn't mind farming for the money to just buy them, whilst, of course, taking full advantage of upcoming holiday events!

Fox Reeveheart · Oct 05, 2007, 02:58 PM // 14:58

Agreed, if you have a laggy computer LIKE MINE! *BLOWS UP COMPUTER* RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY DO YOU SUDDENLY LAG FOR NO REASON!.... anyways....

yeah if you have a laggy comp, survivor is something you WONT EVEN THINK ABOUT! Don't even try it because it will just be a trail of tears.

If you're a prophecies character these days I guess it's almost a given that you should go get legendary defender of ascalon

Mork from Ork · Oct 05, 2007, 02:59 PM // 14:59

The sunspear and lightbringer ones would be your next best bet - they are easy to max in the worm and you can get both at the same time so it doesn't take as much work. Do the temple run (show of force and requiem for a brain quests) in hard mode from ruins of Sahlajah - abandon after you finish it instead of taking the reward or leave one statue untouched so the quest does not complete and then repeat the quest over and over. Plus you get a little bit of money each run (not a lot but some) that you can use to buy the sweets and alcohol with. (I also got a req 9 elemental sword on my third run which was great)

Unfortunately LDoA won't count toward his next level in Kind of A Big Deal on this character

Avarre · Oct 05, 2007, 02:59 PM // 14:59

Spearmarshal, Lightbringer, start on Guardians/Vanquishers (whichever is more fun for you).

Use the money gathered from these to buy Spiked Eggnog at Wintersday and get Drunkard.

Throughout my mapping and skill-capping in Elona I was taking bounties.... but since that has stopped now I'm not sure what to be doing.

I suppose I could take on the main area of the Domain of Fear with the Oddbodies for back-up (I deliberately left their last quest incomplete so I could take them with me WHENEVER I go through Domain of Fear).... or just farm "A Show of Force" repeatedly...

Me and Kilroy Stonekin are THIS CLOSE *makes pinching gesture with fingers* .... so I'm well-supplied with booze. I also have a fairly considerable stash of Firewater and various other event-booze.... not to mention hoarding Sentient Seeds from plants in Elona to trade for booze (and Mandragor Roots for sweets).

Str0b0 · Oct 05, 2007, 03:10 PM // 15:10

Wisdom is a pretty easy track to max out if you have even just one farming character. I know I run my 330 rit through various melee intensive areas in HM for golds. Most of the drops are crap(THANK YOU A NET)but IDing them adds to my wisdom title track.

EternalTempest · Oct 05, 2007, 03:10 PM // 15:10

Kurzack Hero/Hench doing FFF out of the lighthouse is very easy but unbeleviable boring.

Click, click, click, click, click, wait, click - Take reward repeat.

2nd vote for wurm farming for SS/LB titles. Good news with that one is the rewards/gold/drops are nice.

Esan · Oct 05, 2007, 03:11 PM // 15:11

I know you want easy titles, but I say go for Vanquisher. It is the only PvE title that still gets any kind of respect. (I always congratulate people if I see their Leg. Vanq. announcement.) It's a solid month of fairly regular gaming, though. You can practice for HM with Guardian if you want.

To be honest.... firstly I don't think I'd be up to it. I'm not as good a player as most of the folks who enjoy Hard Mode. I don't like challenging myself that way. I'm much more of grinder... personally.

And besides.... since I was so avidly opposed to Hard Mode in the first place, people would only think of me as a hypocrite if I ended up getting Vanquisher and / or Guardian titles...

.... But still... thanks for the advice.

If I want respect for titles then that is what the max-title-ranks are for.... surely? I remember when KoaBD used to be rare. These days there is always someone around with rank 2 at least.
If it was up to me to just display what I like the most, I'd have gone for Incorrigable Alehound already (as it is easily the most amusing title in the game).

DAMNIT! >_<;
I've already done Requiem for a Brain.
I kept A Show of Force for farming in the temple, but it never occurred to me that I might need Requiem for a Brain even though it leads to the same place. Now I think about it though it does make a lot of sense.
Damnit...

It is a pity there isn't a Monolith bounty anywhere in the Sulfurous Wastes (damned american spelling).

Drunkard/sweet tooth/wisdom/treasure hunter <~~easy with cash

What sort of cash limit do you have?

You could do drunkard and LB title at the same time...

Erm.... I'm certainly not one of those rolling-in-cash types.
I usually roll around the 100k mark.... then end up spending a load on another set of 15k armour for one character or other. I just finished spending a load on sigs of capture, so I'm not exactly well funded.
I DO have a 55 monk for farming though (albeit NOT in the Underworld, since I never set foot there).

Esan · Oct 05, 2007, 03:34 PM // 15:34

RfaB is, I think, a net waste of time because of the time lost travelling. Depending on how well tuned your temple run is, it would just be faster to clear the path to the temple and two extra shrines to get to the 25 margs before getting the bosses and zoning out. Even the 5-7 margs near the marg bounty shrine are generally a net waste of time.

Keithark · Oct 05, 2007, 03:37 PM // 15:37

Spearmarshal is easy lightbriner is easy but extremely boring. Guardian in Factions is not bad at all...after that I'd wait for HM in EOTN and get the norn , asura, deldrimore titles as they will likely be easier than lightbringer (just say that because I am already r8, 7, and 7 in those and havent played EOTN much at all)

You can still get the title fairly easily with Show of Force. I had already done requiem before I found out about it too. But in hard mode show of force still gives plenty of enemies and bounty - and you can group with someone else who has requiem if you want the extra points.

In any case, I think I did at least the last 2 levels of lightbringer and a level or two of spearmarshall with show of force only. It goes a lot faster if you just leave the very first shrine untouched because you don't have to keep talking to the General and Joko before heading out each time. But still very achievable.

Steboy93 · Oct 05, 2007, 04:12 PM // 16:12

It has to be ss/lb, i recently got Kind of a Big deal and found that ss/lb were the easiest out of the 5, although they are extremely boring!

william1975 · Oct 05, 2007, 04:23 PM // 16:23

I agree with the others i have maxed the same titles as you, abiet i went out vanquishing in elona, which of the three chapters is the easiest.

Doing this I maxed out Sunspear, and then vanquished elona doing it.

I dont have maxed lightbringer but I think its the next easiest to do.
Also i would suggest attempting to get as far in the reputation titles of Norn/Ebon/Asuran/Dwarf. they may take time but at least they dont involve killing a whole map in Hard Mode.

My plan is to try vanquishing Tyria and Cantha next then move onto Guardian in Elona and then Tyria, will finally attempt Cantha but with a time limit there dont see much hope.

Wisdom/Treasure are ones i will leave to the end as money intensive, Drunk as well as it takes a long time, and Sweet when i have the money to buy them
