Well being obsessive as I am, I think it only took me like 1500 hours...thats with fooling around doing pvp and other stuff. Probably 500-1000 if you are fully focused and obsessive. However I know some people who only got to it after 15k hours.....they said they just played through the game endlessly, not necessarily focusing only on the titles

Oh and wisdom just took way to long for me...much faster titles

Valeria · Dec 11, 2007, 10:39 PM // 22:39

it took me 500-1000 hours to get my 15 maxed titles

Now i'm sick of title grinding

can someone post a picture of the title? havent seen anything more than rank 4 so far.

Good stuff, overall not my area of exptertise, so very helpful.

One additional hint for norn and asuran farming. For Asura, I run/fight and clear the zone outside Viox Falls. With an mm hero and heros hench- keeping that Rampage Bonus up once you get it - I average 4-6k rep a 45 min run. Same thing with the norn. Outside Olafstead, 5-7k a run which takes about 40 minutes - and of course you can open chests on the way (but keeping rampage up is of primary importance). Both these zones, I run a generally "clockwise" route and I never have a problem keeping rampage up because there's one mob right after another - slaying 300-350 enemies a trip and getting all the shrine bonuses.

Other then that though, good stuff. Good stuff that I'll never get around to doing most likely getting gods title, but still, good stuff, lol

15k hours??? Seems way, way too long...I'm at 29 titles with just shy of 5,200 hours...most of that afk/games, etc.

Still, a good thread for those just starting for it, wanting an all-in-one post w/ hints and not wishing to check multiple pages to see what's needed...

However, your guide forgot to mention where to go for psychiatric care once you have completed all of this.

if he signes for schizophrenia, at least he can say he was succesful in one of his lifes

still, love the guide. Don't think I'll go for it but it's nice to have a general and 'quickest' guide to have when i intend to go. Chapeau.

The correct order should be:
1) Vanquisher
2) Master of The North
3) Cartographer
4) Skill Hunter
5) Lightbringer/SS/Reputation
6) Guardian
7) Chesthunter
This will reduce your time signficantly, because you can multitask. While vanquishing, you can do your mapping, cap 1-3 skills, open chests and gain faction/reputation - slashing the amount of work you need to do in later steps. The same goes for others (eg while skill hunting you're earning rep points and opeing chests etc).

Yes I do agree that doing it all in one would go faster, yet you don't say where all the money for this was achieved, and most people would go insane working on 10 titles at a time, people just want to focus on one at a time.....Your sanity is worth it

Also, how you gonna cap 3 skills with 2 professions, and with each map usually cantaining only a single boss of a profession, not to mention the lack of 3 usefull skills in your bar to help you vanquish.

Good idea though

Yeah the 15k hours wasn't just only title hunting...it must have been his account where he did everything.

Money for what? All the titles mentioned either have minimal costs (skill hunter) are neutral (treasurehunter) or earn you money (vanq, cart, rep).

Thats just it, you're not "working" on your faction or treasurehunter titles while you're vanquing, it just gives you a huge head start when you do.

Many zones have more than one boss of the same class which allows you to do multiple caps.

As for the missing skills, the H/H are perfectly capable of vanquishing almost every 8man zone on their own and only require your assistance for the harder ones like Joko's Domain or Tasca's Demise. I remember vanquing Predition Rock with 6 cap sigs, grenth's balance and putrid explosion and finishing the zone with 7 elites on my bar (no longer possible thanks to the pve skill limit

).

3100 hours for 33 titles including kurzick + 2 @ half way including luxon.
u just need to carefully plan what u're going to do and the amount of time required is not that mad. if i went for titles only i could easily take that down to 1600-1700 hours i guess, a lot of actual gameplay in tose 3100 hours

main suggestion: take advantage of 2x weekends BADLY. saves a HUGE amount of time.
there's a 2x gold rate from eotn chests atm? GO FOR IT. 60% gold rate in normal mode and 100% guaranteed in hard mode. wisdom goes way faster now.
u're seriously thinking to max a faction reputation title? should a 2x ab weekend or 2x overall donations come FARM FARM FARM AGAIN.

oh and a small fix. whitman's chestrun always has 3 chests, no more no less ever

mcsumo · Dec 12, 2007, 09:37 AM // 09:37

Well I was gutted to find out about titles after my main char had died several times and left pre

. He is currently on 21 titles, with 48/54 vanquished in Tyria, 18/34 in Elona and 4/33 in Cantha (I get bored easily and need change of scenery

) .So when I am done with those will be on 25, then I will HFF kurz title, buy sweets and drinks, finish off LB....then I was thinking Wisdom, but you guys make treasure sound so easy! Ah sod it I will do both

Anyway quite a nice laid out guide, but I would agree with cellardweller for those who are going for this with a new char (all campaigns completed on account).

Get your survivor, then combine vanquishing with mapping and open chests and cap skills on the way. Would save an awful lot of time.... my main had GMC Tyria before HM came out so I had to do it all again in effect.

Mine is 2626 hours old by the way. And 15K hours must be an exagerration. 10 hours a day would mean 1500 days play which is over 4 years!! As servers have only been on little over 2 years he has been playing close to 20 hours a day EVERY day for 2years?!?!? I don't think that is possible and still be alive surely?

Guides 4 You · Dec 12, 2007, 12:48 PM // 12:48

OK Let's not argue about petty things, that not what this guid is about.

Also, I see that you guys have better ideas, but remember, I wrote these from my experiences, and it's my personal opinion....Sure you may see it as a horrible way to go, but do you think I would write it like this if I ageed? So please don't scream at me because you don't agree.

Elemental Labrat · Dec 12, 2007, 12:59 PM // 12:59

Believe it or not cellar, some of us aren't gods and can't vanquish as easy as you.

But I do think you are right about the multitasking....It would probably be a lot easier to do SOME things together

Hmmmm not sure, I oould have sworn thats what he told me...or maybe it was 1,500 hours. This titles made me loose a bit of sanity

Accursed · Dec 12, 2007, 05:36 PM // 17:36

is it possible to reach this title without getting Legendary Survivor or Legendary Defender of Ascalon?

Guides 4 You · Dec 12, 2007, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Yeah just do lucky/drunkard/wisdom instead...hence the extra section

bladeturner · Dec 12, 2007, 06:13 PM // 18:13

After 1,200 hours I'm firmly at 25 title, but those last 5 will take me forever. I'm in a luxon guild, and I'm attached to it, so I'm not likely to leave that soon. I'm thinking of farming the yeti quest where you have to hunt down a bunch of bosses (Mount Qinkai, I think) for more faction. Wisdom is painfully low (560, I think) and chest hunter even lower (under 500). I may try to combine lucky (currently at 1.1mil) with chest hunting if I can get the money. I'll be gathering sweets and booze too (again if money is available). I wish I'd made survivor (died at 1.01 mil xp).

Then again, I'd like to start working on getting my FoW armor, so we'll see.

Marcello99 · Dec 12, 2007, 10:28 PM // 22:28

So if you didn't have 2 people constantly with you in HFF, you'd end up with 3.5 million gold or so?

Nemo the Capitalist · Dec 12, 2007, 10:32 PM // 22:32
