Is rushing everything even worth it? For me, I intend dying faster if I try to rush through map in any mmorpg. (Ragnarok Online, PSU, etc.)

Well, I just got out from Pre-searing as lvl 12, so it shouldn't be hard since I would be grinding + quest.

Getting a friend to run you to LA should be pretty safe, but is really, mostly unessecary. Com'on prophecies isn't that hard... As long as you get good armor (the 50, 40, 30 def sets) in ascalon, and don't play with a deathwish, you should be able to fight your way to LA safely.

Noooo! I died at lv8 well thats not far but..I have to buy the max AL armor again! Spent all my materials!

Ok...so now Im gonna start again, any tips for me? As a monk, want to the same thing as you did Maxie, which place is better to start at? Cantha or Tyria? or maybe Elona?

EDIT: Decided to get a Monk instead of warrior.

Ivan Darklord · Jan 03, 2007, 04:21 PM // 16:21

is it possible to repeat Factions missions? If you could >.> it would be easy title.

I need some help. I got my ele up to 600.000xp so Indomitable Survivor
I only finshed Factions with her and did almost all the quests.

So the question is what should I do now?

Go finish Tyria or Elona!

The only real way to get this title is to play through the campaigns. It's challenging and fun, and you lose fewer brain cells than xp-farmers who do it just for the little words under their char's name.

Seriously, when I took my mesmer through all of Tyria and most of Cantha it got me Legendary, and it was the best PvE experience I've had in this game. Simply grinding for xp at some repeatable area is such a bore, and in the end you'll likely quit GW soon after you got the title and realize that's all it is.

Capping skills, farming, or the repeatable quests.

Hi guys, i did with my dervish.

All i did i with heroes & henchies. I dont really like to join group cuz i dont really like afk, and i dont really farming that much. ANd of course, dont wanna make survivor ppl looks bad. SO this is what i did

1. Take as many quests as u can. from elona, tyria, & cantha.
2. Cap as many elite skills you can.
3. Bring henchies - 2 healer, 1 dervish, 1 warrior
4. My Heroes - Dunkoro, Olias, & Margrid.

*Pick Acolyte Jin instead of Sousuke, and build her as barrage interupt.
*Pick Margrid instead of Master of whisper, just to avoid his mission.
*Pick norgu instead of Goren. and do Ronjok in Danger.
*Pick Menhlo, Kihm, Devona, Gehraz for my henchies and they works great.
*Pick Dunkoro, Olias & Jin or MArgrid for heroes.
*When capturing Elite Skills, try to do it ONE at a time. [Be patience]
*Try to map at the same time and you will eliminate enimies along the way.

ARmor
1. use survivor insignia & reduce blind, and anything that keeps you alive.
2. Get ferried A.S.A.P if you can to get 1k max armor.

As my build when i start is D/W, the only skill i use is Watch Yourself. But since they nerf it, i just bring cap skill every single time i go.

[Always call target and let Devona & Gehraz attack first, then u come in]
[Put Olias on defensive & dunkoro on Avoid battle]

I attached picture of my build & heroes skills and which henchies i used. Hope it might help.

*Try to get more Lightbringer Point - BEFORE u did the "Battle of Turai's Procession". I have to re-zone, just because i didnt bring LB Gaze. But i did completed that quest with heroes & henchies only (^_^). But its HARD!

*Do "F12 then ENTER" is better than ALT+F4, cuz for some reason, ALT+F4, still make your character stay for couple second longer in the game before it get logged out.

I suggest do more quest in cantha & elone better than tyria, cuz those give more XP points from quests. In kaineng, try not complete the corruption quest, so u dont have to fight most of the time in Wajjun Bazaar.

So far, my character still got 0 death and the title is still going up until i die. And i just completed the "Ronjok in Danger" mission.

Hope my guide could help people who trying to heroes & henchies all the way.

God I hate this. Was at 318k XP with my Monk, and I noticed I died once...of course i never witnessed it. Once again, my high rank Survivor Title Dreams have been crushed by a phantom death.

cellardweller · Jan 15, 2007, 12:33 AM // 00:33

750kxp when Korr ran deep into the group to wack me with 2 double damage searing flames *cries*

Oh well *deletes my mesmer and tries again*

Mickey · Jan 15, 2007, 02:12 AM // 02:12

I got r3 Survivor on my Ranger, Slickshot Slim, and I pretty much did repeatable quests over and over, like FFing, and Duel of the Houses.

It took a long time doing all those quests, like one week, with a hell of a lot of play time, but I got pretty dang rich in the process, with all those quest rewards, got like 100 k.

I would recommend either capping skills, for that +5 k exp, or doing repeatable quests, FFing for example nets you 2 k exp every 2 mins, if your in a good group, and my alliance owns HzH, so we are pretty much FFing pros.

I would recommend if your FFing to use a running build just in case a point fails, so you can actually do the job of "door" rather than let people farm your exp, and plus, showing that your not a cowardly survivor can really help your standing in a group.

CagedinSanity · Jan 15, 2007, 03:28 AM // 03:28

The only time I got the r1 Survivor was on my ranger, and only because I avoided damage anyway. And on factions where the EXP is massive, survivor really isn't too difficult to do.
