Ok, this is going to sound a bit weird, but it's what I need

.

I am currently going for my survivor title, and I need some help with a Drok's run. You see, the patrol at the beginning of Dreadnaught's Drift always crosses where the people getting ran stand. I have no way to survive that, so I need a runner (or dual/triple run) that can distract the patrols long enough to keep me alive while the main runner gets through DD. I will pay up to 15k total depending on how early I can get the run done. I still need the full run all the way up to Droks, too.

NOTE: If I am in danger of dying, I WILL leave to protect the title.

IGN: Teh Shadow (add me to friends, I switch characters a lot

)

Please send me a PM either in game or here on the Guru.

You're better off continuing on from Beacon's Perch. Get ran to LA, go to Kaineng Center for your armor, or continue on and get ascended. A skilled runner should be able to accomplish that for you without dying; as long as you pay attentive to unforseen ambushes.

You're pretty much sandwiched once entering Dreadnaught's Drift. 6 Heretics to your left come in on you, and a good 10-15 summit dwarves are on your right. You're cannon fodder unless your "runner" is equipped with a couple extra men to go in and tank or kill the heretics to your left before they reach you. It'd should be pretty easy with a spellbreaker monk.

I'm assuming you're wishing to get to Drok's for the troll powerleveling. Be warned--not very safe at all. It would be easier to level up on easy quests, missions, etc., while sitting in the passenger seat of the tasks.

I've done this for a customer taking the ascension route (Ascalon to Drok's without him dying--the plvling was in someone else's hands..that failed heh). So yes, it is doable to get you power ran/fought to Drok's via the long way. And no, I'm not saying I'll help you with this physically. The assistance is written above, goodluck.

I've considered doing that (getting the KC armor, quests, etc), but one word basically sums it up: laziness.

This will be my 5th PvE character, and I want to still try and get the run to forge.

Thanks a lot for your input however!

Obivously you want this done quickly because you are looking for a Run, heh.
Just be cautious with the laziness factor, because the survival title does not take kindly to it.

Slow and steady wins the race...

Ive checked this out myself. There is no place to hide once you get into Dreadnoughts. Ive tried crushing into the corners but that slow moving horde of heretics always gets you, and always before a runner can reach the zone out. I suppose a 3 man team could do it. Two runners run there, one goes right, and one goes left after being enchanted by an SB monk. I dont know it the Heretic horde will follow the runner going left. Thats how I would do it though. You could always zone back out into Lornars if it didnt work. Leaving completely is not necessary.

Well, wouldn't it work if one went left, one went right, and used sprint later than usual to pull the groups farther away from me? DD isn't THAT big, and doesn't take all that long to get through, so they should be able to finish the DD part, right? Oh, and about the zoning, yeah, that is a good idea.

Im willing to give it a try. Its worth much more than 15K, but the fun of getting it done is worth something to me. Contact me in game tomorrow. Im on Pacific time zone.

I lost my survivor title on that trip :'(

mastab3690 · Jul 31, 2006, 12:17 PM // 12:17

ive seen solo runners advertising that they can complete the ruin without anyone dying thus saving you from loosing you survivor title. i have even pwrlvled ppl who have said that they were going for survivor title and got the droks run and did not die. so it is definitly possible. and i can pwrlvl you after you get to droks http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3063876 send a whisp ingame or post dosnt matter.

oHcHeese · Jul 31, 2006, 12:37 PM // 12:37

I tried that too, and believe me : I doesn't work !

I had 4 guildies running , 3 tried to distract the enemies, but it didn't work !

here's what I advice u to do: get a run to elona reach, there is almost no chance to die ! that's how I got my survivor title ! and if your a monk or warrior, you can start soloing the minotaurs once ur lvl 20 !
oke, so you get less xp, but it's not that much !

But if you wanna try a droks run, I'm not holding u back ! I wish u good luck, and some good runners, but I see you already got a lbs runner, so that's good :-)

Cracko · Jul 31, 2006, 02:55 PM // 14:55

There is a way to not die during a droks run, i did that with my new account just to try it out cus i was bored, if u squish urself in the corner(right corner if u get zoned) you should be able to not die. allthough its VERY risky. just to let you know.

ThunderStruck · Jul 31, 2006, 04:15 PM // 16:15

Well, a mod can close this, I died.

I was getting a run to Elona's and someone pulled everything towards me while I was afk for a couple seconds (stupid phone) so I couldn't map out.

Oh well, on to survivor attempt #3!

Citadel Runner · Jul 31, 2006, 06:00 PM // 18:00

Oh my god!. Unbelievable. Oh well.
Cracko, Ive squeezed into that right side corner too. Works about 33% of the time, and is semi-terrifying as the horde scrapes through the edge of your aggro circle. LOL. Ive tested this many times. Dont let anyone try to tell you otherwise.

Riken Chrono · Jul 31, 2006, 11:32 PM // 23:32

it is possible to run solo with you and some other guy and haveing no one dieing. if you squeeze into the corner as far as you can, you wont aggroe. i've done it a couple times, it works every time no matter the spawn

i've done the same here, as long as ur party isnt stupid, you dont even need to squeeze into the corner between the stone wall and the hill, just stand back a little and get ready to rezone if the spawn is bad
