Monk farming - Safest/quickest way to get experience? - Guild Wars Forums

Maxiemonster · Oct 13, 2006, 07:17 PM // 19:17

I'm going to try to get Legendary Survivor one more time, but I'm not sure how I'm going to farm. In my opinion, farming Droknar's Forge trolls is already too risky (you can never be 100% sure your Protective Spirit is going to get interupted or not), but Minotaurs seems a little bit slow. I was thinking of Shiro'ken, but I'm fairly sure succes rate isn't 100% there either.

Any suggesion would be great. I still have my Pre-Searing starters armor, and I guess I can pretty much cap every Elite there is without dying, so that won't matter either.

Thanks,
Max.

There really is no safe place to farm 100% Human error is always there to burn you. You could pay and be power leveled or go with guild buddies. Be warned there is a delay if you are panic closing GW to save your character from death. I had poison on me and was getting hacked I panic closed the program. I had 49 HP left when I closed the program. I logged back in and typed /deaths and found out I had 1 death. Luckily I got the first title and was working on the second.

Lutgardis KFF runs. 2000 xp every 4 minutes and a monk with Spell Breaker is pretty much easy peasy to do the run.

Forget the Shiroken, they will interrupt you and kill you often.

(even at 2k xp/4 minutes it will take roughly 30 hours of running faction once you reach Lutgardis.)

I don't know if it's the fastest way, but my Ranger survivor-wannabe has taken a job as waitress in Sorrows Furnace.

( Basically I'm doing the repeatable quest to help Galen Trask as many times as neccesary. )
I't's pretty safe with a full party of hench.

lol, I've actually done that run for a while, and this is perfect. If I serve as the door guy at all time, there's no way I'll ever die there, all I have to do is get there alive (which won't be much of a problem). Thanks alot for the suggestion, I'm definitly going to try this out (and no, I don't mind spending 30 hours on this).

well, but letting the save-part away...

whats the FASTEST way of getting xp, possibly soloing as monk?!?!

i need a hell lot of skillpoints, so im looking for ways on how to get 15k xp as fast as possible in as few runs as possible.

atm im doing minotaur-run, and trolls-run

minotaur run is 200xp per minotaur(with scroll) while trolls give something like 336xp per troll.

now its faster to get to the minos, so im not sure which of the two xp-farms is faster

whats your fastest way of gaining xp!??!

This is how I do it...

My 55 monk in Altrium ruins...enter arborstone from altrium..KILL everything except dredge and bosses, stay away from them. Without scrolls Im getting on the average 120 XP per kill, not to mention mats. I average 250 tanned hides a trip, and each trip lasts about 20 or 30 minutes. I would imagine that with scrolls, I would be getting 300 + XP per kill. I spent 3 hours doing this then went to droks. I made 45K just selling mats. Good deal I think.

do you use mantra of resolve or do you go mo/w? with resolve you will never get any skill interupted and most likely will never die unless you lag or stop paying attention.
