Just hit 1 mill exp on my new monk.
It doesn't take too long nor is too difficult.
I started in cantha... did all the quests on Sheng Jea Island
Got a runner to Sanctum Cay
Ascended in tyria (<3 50k exp doppleganger)
Completed Cantha
Done most of nightfall and im in Ring of Fire for tyria
I would recommend elite capping...it really is good...but expensive

DeNiro · Dec 26, 2006, 12:35 AM // 00:35

hmm, I did noob island on Elona (dervish), went to tyria, via SC to desert, did missions, but I didn't receive the 50k xp at doppelganger... ne1 know why?

Covah · Dec 26, 2006, 01:02 AM // 01:02

tortugan · Dec 27, 2006, 09:48 PM // 21:48

ok Little update:

I died at 1.130K xp, by a lag spike(with me logging out). This is the second time this happened to me, it also happened when I was at 1100K xp

Elisa · Dec 27, 2006, 11:26 PM // 23:26

Survivor is really ticking me off now. I tried it twice on a Prophecies character (I want to get it without feeling I cheated it by getting run all over the place or using a Factions character, which pretty much gets Survivor (1) for free), but the game really screws you over. My first character died at level 19 with about 240 xp more to go to Survivor (1). Massive lag spike, you come out the other end dead. And just now I spent four months on a new Prophecies monk, which I got to level 20+ (about 450,000 xp) and spent a good five months on with the plan to get Legendary Survivor (3). Massive lag spike, I came out dead the other end. Yay. Oh well, re-rolling the same monk again, then. :/

Cymmina · Dec 27, 2006, 11:36 PM // 23:36

Survivor on a Paragon was laughably easy. I was a little ticked off because I missed out on the Tyrian Ascention exp (I had already "Ascended" in Elona).

For the last 400k exp, I repeated Jade Arena (much safer than Dueling Houses), which takes all of 5 minutes from start to start. I don't recommend this for Monk survivors because 30% of the time, at least 1 of mine was dead (and no resing because of Frozen Soil).

Anyone need Jadeite?

Maxiemonster · Dec 28, 2006, 12:30 PM // 12:30

I see alot of people going for Legendary Survivor going for other titles at the same time, because they think this works, but that's really not that smart. If you already know you're going to restart if you die somewhere on the way, you should seriously consider doing it a boring way, as long as it works. If you're just going to do missions and cap skills you know you're going to be hit by that 250 damage Ritualist spell, but still people try.

Oh well, I guess I'm the only one who doesn't care I got it a "lame way".

Elisa · Dec 28, 2006, 01:02 PM // 13:02

Yes, but I get the title not to show off to other people, I get it so I can fire up Guild Wars, look at my Monk and really feel like I accomplished something. Sure, I can let someone power level me while I'm safe and sound waiting for my survivor title... but I probably wouldn't even carry the title. I feel that if I earn it myself, it'll look all the better under my name.

Obviously to each his own, we all play this game for different reasons and with different goals in mind. When I lost my Monk, I was seriously considering doing it the "lame" way as well.

Epinephrine · Dec 28, 2006, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Yeah, I'm with Elisa; I would do it for personal satisfaction, not because I could do a boring bit of ultra safe crap. Sure, you get the title either way, but one way you have pride in what you did.

Maxiemonster · Dec 28, 2006, 02:53 PM // 14:53

Guess I'm just different

There's no difference for me how I got a title, it's still the same thing, it won't change a single bit. I could even tell you all I got my Survivor title after I got all 3 of my Protector titles if I would want that.

And I guess it's also because I failed 3 times (1 of them being at ~600K xp), and I always want to finish what I started

I see where you're coming from. I'm pretty confident I'd probably just drop it and do it the easy way if I fail again as well. 600k xp... that's tough...

sorry to hear that... that must've been extremely annoying.

But to be frank, the titles is all that really keeps me playing Guild Wars... they make it fun for me. That's why I want to spend a lot of my time getting them and don't want to rush through them in some way. That's probably the difference betwseen you and me. You still have a lot of other fun things to do in Guild Wars... I just do it for that title and will then probably just quit.

Again, to each his own. The paths we take to the titles are just different, not better or worse.

(By This process can be done in 13 minutes by you taking your low leveled character with a guild thief and letting them kill a level 20 (unarmored) character while their Mesmer/Ritualist hero resurrects them everytime enough for you to repeat this process until you reach survivor) and I know this IS NOT illegal. It felt great starting off with this powered up character to help take on a supposedly easy area of the game. However, there is a BIG PROBLEM.

The Sunspear Scouts that grants you the rights to bounty kill monsters to gain Sunspear points WON'T ALLOW ME TO and to pass the primary quest: THE HONORABLE GENERAL you need to earn the title Second Sunspear. To do so you need to gain 175 Sunspear points. Guess what? You can't and all the quests you are able to obtain only get you to earn up to 129. Without being able to complete this quest, you can not proceed with the game. It's unfair because of the time and energy put into this game.

Please fix the bug. I'm going to let an entire community on Guild Wars Guru know of this sham. Please report this to the game technicians responsible and to fix such a mess. Characters can powerlevel off Prophecies and Factions, so it should be fair for those who take the time to prepare their characters fairly to have a fun time with Guild Wars.

I have attached a screen shot to show some proof of this matter.

You can beg a non-elonian char to go with you on the quest A Land of Heroes. You can get 4 sunspear points for every corsair or kourman you kill. You can get 250 points easy.

Ivan Darklord · Jan 02, 2007, 09:57 AM // 09:57

gonna get My warrior legendary survivor title, but I play with extreme caution!
He started off in NF (I think this is bad according to Maxie's guide) I'll transfer him to Tyria to get ascended then after that go to Cantha and to echovald for redo quests....wow big adventure.....

^_^ · Jan 03, 2007, 01:05 AM // 01:05

If my character is on Prophecies, can he go on other continent for XP and achieve the title?

If I die after getting Indomitable Survivor, will I still keep the title?

Holy Warblade · Jan 03, 2007, 01:09 AM // 01:09

if you start in Pro, you will need to reach Lions Arch first before you can visit other continents. Better to get a run from Ascalon to LA than trying to fight your way thru it.

If you die at any point after achieving any of the 3 levels of Survivor title, you still get to keep whichever title you had achieved up to that point.
