yes i said it here, i think it is greater than GWAMM title with all of the people buying titles these days.

I am just trying to open some discussion on the titles that actually mean you had to GRIND to the max. Not necessarily skill, but it is DEDICATION that matters.

i disagree...it is a tough title but vanquishing/every other title combined is harder :0

RupDur78 · Apr 06, 2009, 03:52 AM // 03:52

i would say the drunkard if you do it the "fastest way" with out useing a clicking aid is the title with the most grind. also i wouldn't say its a better title or would make you have a biger e-pen i would say that it just makes me say to you: "get a life or end the one you have now"

Titles that require dedication (grind) to max out? Hmmm....

IMHO: The amount of grind involved in achieveing a title is only a small factor in how impressive that title is. And, one person's grind is another person's fun. Here's my take on this:

Propecies protector/guardian: Since most of the bonuses require taking side trips from the main mission path - Dunes of Despair, Abaddon's Mouth, etc.)

All vanquishers: Yes, requires some skill & knowledge of the given areas, but most of it's pretty cut-and-dried.

EotN rep titles: Grind grind grind! (I count Leeching on to raptor farmers as grind)

Drunk/party/sweet: Gotta come up with the cash to pay for all the goodies! (ignoring the "e-bay influence") OR, farm your butt off to get 'em!

Cartographer: Some say "you get to see the sights." I say, most of what you see is blank oceans & rock walls!

Survivor: Lots of grind, but can be done easily with Kilroys or double XP for Skill Caps!

Legendary Defender of Ascalon: The ultimate in PvE Grinding - even before you get to the point where you're death leveling, you've got to do a boatload of charr farming to hit 16.

All PvP titles: The more skill you have & the better the players you team up with, the less grind (time involved) there is - but it's still an aweful lot to max those titles.

Kurzick/Luxon: Grind, grind, grind, but the various ways of gaining faction makes 'em less tedious. (ABs, JQ, FA, and vanquishing)

I agree with that 100%

LDoA (Legendary Defender of Ascalon) is DEFINITELY the 1337Uber kewlest title AND prolly the best of PvE, it has to be at least one of the top 3 in the whole game.

I wouldn't really say the eotn rep title tracks are too much grinding.

2 man Discord + Heroes Handbook HM = Maxing titles quickly
Doesn't take long at all

& also, Golden Eggs during easter event + Vaettir keg farm = Treasure Hunter.

That's for true. Also you'd be surprised how far you progress on most of the GW:EN Rep titles by doing LMotN FIRST and filling in the blanks. I'll have turned in a full NM and HM Hero's and Dungeon guide and will be just a book or two off of having all 4 maxed.

TH is a pretty impressive title, but it's by far not greater than the combined might of all of the other titles you *have* to do to get GWAMM.

Yes let's talk about what titles are the most L33T!

Shayne Hawke · Apr 06, 2009, 05:19 AM // 05:19

Considering how there are so many services offered these days for different things, I don't see a recognizable difference in stuff that is purely purchasable and purely grindable.

Too bad that LDoA is stupid and is preventing Survivor from getting overhauled properly.

I have fond(!?) memories of that one.Virtually wiped me out money-wise.At the time no-one was selling 600g keys,so i had to buy from merchant.Four stacks at a time,then having to run 1000 chests.Rinse and repeat is how I did it.So you need to watch your money levels,and chest running to deal with.

Gets you closer, for sure, but to max you will have to farm like a demonic bot!

I have great respect for most titles, especially some of the ones I've maxed myself. It's easy to say this > that but only when I completed some of them I realized the amount of effort that goes into it. Every person will have their own favorite and opinion on which title is more prestigious. For me, at this point in time, it is Legendary Cartographer seeing as it's the one I'm trying to get now and spending A LOT of time on. Next month it might be something else...

Puuuhleese girlfriends!

In your faces!

saloking · Apr 06, 2009, 09:55 AM // 09:55

the best of the best would be to get LDoA and the survivor title, there is no more 1337 title combo than that now is there? :P

BenjZee · Apr 06, 2009, 10:21 AM // 10:21

I know of atleast one person with both

Dunno if he got banend though.
BTW i can't help thinking this is the same old discussion clevrly disquised.

makosi · Apr 06, 2009, 10:42 AM // 10:42

I maxed Treasure Hunter for my 30th title and it didn't even display in towns that I achieved Grandmaster Treasure Hunter. It was a virtual kick in the nuts because i had grinded 700 chests in Witman's Folly over 2 days, made myself feel really nauseous and my back and legs ached. I'm pretty sure I have scurvy now too.

Both titles suck.
