I'll second depimping your heroes before deleting. I've done that. Expensive.

I Got the legendary Survivor Title on my monk after some help to Lutgardis. And have been FFF-ing and HFF-ing till i got the title i think thats the easiest way to earn it.

Next time you update this can you please add stuff that isn't common sense to your guide?

i reached 177,000xp and died, however, in The Undercity, was going in there to do Assist the Guards, still had many Kaineng City/Wajjun Bazaar/Bukdek Byway/Bejunkan Pier/... quests to do (about 20,000 or so xp in them), and that elementalist Am Fah boss fell from the skies and after i slaughtered his mob and the one behind me (yes its about 12 Am Fahs total and you are surrounded) he killed me in 2 strikes with his lightning overpowered lamepackage.
This is quite frustrating. I had 100 minutes of drunkenness and 4 Sweet Tooth points, as well as 1 Tyria, 2 Cantha and more to come missions completed. Was about to do Dunes of Despair and Thirsty River to go to my doppelganger and get that 50,000 xp...
is there any way for a Necro/Mesmer to not be killed by these ele freaks?
I mean their attacks are so over the roof....how can a lvl 24 boss slosh me in 2 strikes? Isn't it a bit lame? I had max armour (from Voldo the Exotic) and Ghial's Staff..
oh well..
gonna start again.
And yes after these experiences maybe it is best to just do something safe to get most of the XP for this title, coz even though i *only* waste 27 hours on this char, its still 27 hours of my time..

Anyhow good luck to anyone out there going for it! I guess the safest bet is have Monk as either primary or secondary profession, so im gonna say F*** mesmer and be a Necro/Mo, to always have self-heal available and not just Soul Feast and Taste of Death.

i have legendary survivor on several characters. i've found the easiest way to survive is to have the henchmen and heroes do all the killing and dying for you. if you don't want to feel completely useless, take ritualist as your secondary and go straight healing. with the advent of the ritualist profession, any character with 4 pips of energy regeneration can be a fairly decent healer. this includes all the casters, assassin, and dervish. for my warrior, i played a supporting role by using a spear and spamming "watch yourself" and other helpful shouts.

fff can be done with just heroes and henchmen - no deaths involved.

I'm busy working towards Legendary Survivor, just hit rank 2 last night, 6 hours grinding undead outside bergen. ¬.¬!!! Had a few close calls to mapping out at 3hp

but i've found that farming outside here is pretty simple with a monk.

Undead feed you a nice 252xp on hard mode, so assuming you can tank from level 1 and survive :P

Roughly 557 Undead will get you to 140,600 xp (rank 1)

Roughly 2331 Undead will get you to 587,500 xp (rank 2)

Roughly 5307 Undead will get you to 1,337,500 xp (rank 3)

This is only assuming that you start from Level with with no xp and aren't using any scrolls. So lets say you have rank 1, 1773 undead roughly will get you to rank 2. ^^

It took me about 4-6 hours to get from rank 1 to 2. So I guess it's another 4-6 hours more grinding to rank 3.

I'm using a modification of the Dual SB/Smite bonder combo. You can easily use a hero as the bonder, just flag them away and set them to avoid combat.

DO NOT FORGET TO DISABLE ALL HERO SKILLS!!!111

Otherwise they'll cast a bond then remove it. :P

The bonder's skills are this: Purge Signet, Peace and Harmony, Blessed Signet, Holy Wrath, Retribution, Life Attunement, Vital Blessing and Rebirth.

The tank skills (600hp tank *My Survivor Monk*): Sheild of Absorbtion, Spirit bond, Protectve Spirit, Essence Bond, Balthazar's Spirit and Blessed Aura.

No Elite needed. Although i'm a Monk/Rt and haven't capped any useful skills. :P My character is only 24 hours old.

But still, i'd advise this build for monks wanting survivor title, it's quick, easy, get to work on your id title to.

Had a few nice gold drops, white dyes and an elite necro tome to.

So you could problably get this title in about 40 hours depends how quickly you can level up to 20 and get to Bergen. And if you can be bothered doing the same ol run. :P I'd also suggest the use of scrolls...and good music. ^^

Hope this helps young monks out there who want there Survivor title!

P.S.

I got my rank 3 in 35 hours. Was a bit boring doing the grind but well worth it!

Got my to survivor 1 today which probably seems unimpressive to most but it's the first time I've managed not to bite the dust at least once before lvl 20.

coreo_oreo11 · Nov 18, 2007, 04:30 PM // 16:30

[IMG][/IMG]

best skills for staying alive are dark escape + frightened neutrality. the damage reduction is sick. skill capping is a waste of money. with eotn out now legendary survivor is much easier to do by questing.

Can somebody plz tell me what is FFFing? I'm sure this was asked before, but I dont want to search the whole thread and the Wiki-link doesn't work (anymore?).

Additionally: where exactly are the Drognar trolls to be farmed?

Thx a lot.

wu is me · Nov 30, 2007, 06:59 AM // 06:59

fff= Fast Faction Farming

usually people here refer to the one that takes place at lutgardis conservatory.

I think this guide needs to be updated.

Dwarven Boxing yeilds just under 15k exp in 6~8 mins with a scroll if Hero's Insight, and has virtually no risk of death.
edit: on NORMAL mode

Kabroz the necro · Nov 30, 2007, 07:14 AM // 07:14

In HM dwarfen boxing is one of fasters way to get LS.
I done it with my W/a,which died at 1,300,684xp due to Anet server lagging.
One run gave me 33k xp,taked 11min.

snikerz · Nov 30, 2007, 09:01 AM // 09:01

i have a half written guide on dwarfen boxing
and yes it is the fastest way to get LS3 with no risk of death.

a 250% scroll + HM + efficiency = 55k XP 7 minute run.

there is a faction cap of 700 per stone summit killed while under the effects of a scroll. so dont use triple scrolls.

xx luna xx · Dec 01, 2007, 03:11 AM // 03:11

Wish Dwarven Boxing was around when I was maxing this title out.

lol

Anyhow, good luck to all going for the title. If you're not using the Dwarven Boxing method, watch your aggro and don't rush it.

Congrats to all those who've already gotten theirs!

Today I had 0 deaths before I did Ruins of Morah. I did not die during the mission. Kill Commander Varesh, skip cine-and bam I've got a death. WTF?!?! Pretty lame... I don't know what the problem is. Anyone heard of this happening?

xx luna xx · Dec 01, 2007, 06:23 AM // 06:23

Unfortunately yes -.- My first ele died in a cinematic and I had to remake her. I didn't skip though, so I'm not too sure why yours died if you skipped, unless you were being attacked as the cinematic cut in.

{IceFire} · Dec 01, 2007, 06:29 AM // 06:29

Ah well, I was just going for giggles on the title-don't really care about it, was fun while it lasted though.

xx luna xx · Dec 01, 2007, 07:42 AM // 07:42

lol Icefire. Well gl on your other title adventures

I was so hell-bent on getting Legendary Survivor cuz it suited my ele's name.......and then of course once I got it (7 angry tries later mind you) like 5 other Legendary title options came out -.-
Ironic.
