A good way I've found to get this is to (Once ascended) repeatedly do the first UW quest. Clearing the chamber of Grasps is ridiculously easy, and as long as you watch the Aataxes you're fine.

The two issues here are cost and finding a team that's willing to help. Frankly though, an alliance or guild will usually have people willing, since they could then seven-man the rest of the UW with no problem.

Fail......it's called dwarven boxing get LS in like five hours

Nathaniel (Was 'ere) · Jan 18, 2009, 10:06 AM // 10:06

Yeah, but Boxing gets boring after like five minutes. I'll try this, thanks. I'm actually doing a survivor group with people from my alliance

Wait.. Why do the Wurms deal fire damage? 0.o That's like the Great Destroyer not being immune to burning (Which he isn't.)

LoL you dont have to make the title in 1 day . 20mins of Fronis per day and there u go , safe title , easy and not boring because u share playing time with other chars.

Just put the hats in the Festival Hat NPC. Then you can recreate them on any character in any time. It only costs 10g per hat, so no big deal.

lol, look at the date of the post before you reply, I posted that 10 May 2006, about 3 years ago, and way before Festival Hat NPC's were introduced.

I'm currently working on Survivor on my Mesmer, and I'm R2.

When I'm not working on missions, quests and capping but in the mood to work on my experience I just do the Punchout. but I'm not fully relying on the dungeon to complete title.

It's my first survivor, and very first toon to reach R1 and R2 survivor. I'm doing this title to prove to myself that I can achieve such a title, due to my many deaths on each character. I'm not great at surviving, but it's all going to change after R3.

Atlantis29 · Jul 29, 2009, 03:28 PM // 15:28

this is just MY opinion but i thing the easyest way and safest way to get this title is to get you chart to lvl 20 doing killroy THEN do the charr mission so you get accsess to Watch It Jiggle Quest wich you need to do Ooze Pit from there you stop playing your Servivor hunter and play a diffrent char and keep doing Ooze Pit over and over farming the Prismatic Gelatinous Material wich you then pass onto your servivor giving you 5,000 exp per Prismatic Gelatinous Materia

R1-R2 = 90 Ooze Pit runs
R2-R3 = 150 Ooze Pit runs

it looks alot but its safe as if you have lag problems (wich is common thease days) then you dont risk your survivor getting killed

cosmic massacre · Sep 08, 2009, 11:03 AM // 11:03

im on about 220k on my 600,fronis is pretty good but d/c and lag could be risky so im playing mostly undead in bergen,about 10k exp in 10-15mins average without scrolls.

Silmar Alech · Sep 09, 2009, 10:47 AM // 10:47

Made 2 legendary survivors so far - the first one as Spirit Spammer Ritualist and the second one as Mesmer created in Nightfall. The ritualist was made with the help of Kilroy after I reached lvl 20 and didn't want to burden my guildmates with someone who might leave. It was somewhat expensive with all these lightbringer scrolls, but finished within a week. The dungeon was quite boring.

Then I decided to do it again with my newly created Mesmer the old way: just playing the game, capture every elite I find, avoid dangerous situations.
- I always played alone with H/H
- I bought the best armor and the best runes/insignia
- I never did play in hard mode
- I took a taxi to consulate docks and from there to LA to get access to the quest that gives you Olias. I skilled Olias as Minion master.
- upon reaching level 10, I started to EOTN and got Vekk and Ogden. With these two and Olias, I went to the Eye Of the North and got Gwen.
- Then I played through Nightfall including the last mission.
- I chose Master of Whispers and Acolyte Jin as heros. I skilled Master of Whispers as SS necro (in fact, Olias and Master were the MM/SS part of an older sabway build where the heros were still sort of stand-alone, not the modern versions where you cannot use one hero without the others). Dunkoro as 3rd hero was the healer.
- I skipped Dasha Vestibule.
- Playing though NF brought me to lvl 2 survivor or somewhat further
- Then I started capture elite skills in the low-level areas of Nightfall and made all of the Factions quests in Bukdek Byway, Wajun Bazar and in that area.
- I also did all of the Factions missions but left out Shiro at the end (don't even try to get rushed)

I simply played the game and was somewhat careful. But I attacked normally and fought normally. Normal build, no self-heal. Hero healers are fantastic. I left via ALT-F4 for only one time (Drakkar lake, when Koren Wildrunner suddenly joined a big fight with many Chilling Wisps). I got my last XP from Koris Deeprunner by giving him the 4 map pieces.

Erkki · Sep 09, 2009, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Just take your time and play normally, you should be able to make it easily ish. Working on my 7th Legendary Survivor. Getting that 1,337,500 exp takes me protector on every continent and sh*t load of quests. On my Rt, who's up to 1,250,xxx exp, I've done every quest in Cantha and Tyria and a good bunch in Elona. Haven't been to EotN yet, as I generally try to avoid it (not that fond of it..).

I only cap elites from my primary profession unless there's something that's actually useful. Depending on profession, the title has taken me approximately 90 to 130 hours each.

I do it the good ol' way because I can't come up with anything else in GWs anymore and don't care about titles.

iarepokey · Nov 20, 2009, 07:34 PM // 19:34

Here's my Survivor Title so far. I started in Elona, grabbed the heroes and worked my way through the quests and most missions with help from guildies. Now I am in Cantha working on the quests around Kaineng Center. Hope this helps

Bloss · Nov 02, 2010, 09:46 PM // 21:46

I've done all my survivors without kilroy and it was quite some fun. (I tend to lag and then heroes are your best friends since they don't know lag at all)

my ways:
H/H everything, never forget books from the campain and aurgery rock before napui and the hunted
FoW-whoring (req atleast 1 helpfull friend) 100k xp a run atleast)
VQ till you drop
and dumdumdum the most original one,
just playing the game worked the best for me, and reading other opinions about Kilroy, I think just playing the game isn't the worst advise. ^^

Also don't push yourself, you want the title but don't spend weeks playing just that char if you can't stand that in the first place. Always remember your goal:

rb.widow · Nov 03, 2010, 12:41 AM // 00:41

If you dont care which class has the survivor, then Ele has gotta be one of the easiest do to,

Have guild mates run you threw the game to Eye of north, then on up to gunners hold then Long Eyes Ledge, get the skill set/armor and weapon for the Vaettir Farm, ( aslong as you have completed EOTN at least once, you can use HM ) get up to there use Triple xp Scroll, wham 54,000 xp in 4 minutes, you could max out survivor in about an hour and a half.

Bloss · Nov 03, 2010, 08:36 AM // 08:36

a friend did the same with kegfarming (like a year ago) he got in in about that time, amazingly easy and fast (lag is once again your worst enemy.)

works for Assassin too (build on pvx, with smites or wastres demise, might work for primary mesmers and monks too)

Funny thing - r1 survivor in Nightfall tutorial. How?

Wracks · Nov 15, 2010, 01:58 PM // 13:58

I know this a bit expensive and complicated, but I feel that the safest way to get survivor(and faster):

Buy 174-178 Kath Hammers(a bit expensive, but you get the reward for every hammer you give in, which totals up to paying only about 80k for the title, not bad as buying LB scrolls to max you title)

Get a ferry from NF to LA(assuming you created a NF char), go to seaboard, rank 1-10 doing the exp glitch(Go to an empty Euro/Asian dis, go near the gate and get exp from the first wave and switch dis and do the same thing again)

Get a run to Eotn>Doomslore, then get a run to Cathacombs of Kath dungeon, then zone out back in to Sacnoth Valley, talk to the guy, give in all the hammer reward, you can max it within 2hrs max

Another safer way is doing Skele Farm for Halloween(which many abused during this year and I am positive they will nerf it for next halloween). Get mobstoppers from the npc quest giver, store it in storage, and redo it until u have enough, cap the skeles, place it in storage and turn in for the quest reward on the surv. title

Scott Ware · Nov 15, 2010, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Did this on my alt account (for HoM calculator). Any time I wasn't actively playing this character, I logged out an onto another character. All of this was done by actually fighting. If you'll look closely, you can see "Spectral Vaettir drops..." Not saying this is the fastest way, but I wanted to get this without the Kilroy method (that's how I got my first one and it was quite boring).

1) Create sin in Cantha
2) Fight carefully through to Kaening Center
3) Get from KC to EoTN and to longeyes
4) Dwarven Boxing to lvl 20
5) Vaettir farm until Max Survivor

AlyaraSaykomora · Nov 15, 2010, 09:22 PM // 21:22

My first I did punchout. Didnt use scrolls much, only ones I got as drops and bought a lb once... imo it wasnt worth it, I'm weird, I just farmed it basically.

Now though I'm starting a mesmer in Prophecies and I'm going to do it the good old fashioned way- do all the quests, kill stuff that gives me exp, etc. No runs, just quests and missions.

I find Vaettir farm for 80 levels much more boring than doing the same at Kilroy's.
