First of all: Thanks for this guide.
Now, let me explain how i made it..

- I Used "Adventurer's Insight" scroll instead of the Rampager. Let's also say i was kinda noob and didn't know how to use them correctly :P since they ran out during the second Symbiosis cast: so i chose the Adventurers. They're 450xp instead of 600, but imho they let you do the run with more calm and no rush.

- I also had some fun moments. Apart from the "Kill all in one" runs, which means that pulling the first 3 Knights mob i pulled all six of them xD, i remember a few times i forgot to cast Symbiosis or either i moved a few step out of it. Well, i did cast Prot Spirit and Spirit Bond, without minding that. Ok, the health bar was going down a bit quicker, but i managed to survive. Vital Blessing boosts your hp up to 600 (With 12 Prot Prayers), so i think you shouldn't freak out if by any chance you're out of Symbiosis's range.

- The run was made using Ogden (He is lvl 20, so he can afford more attributes points) as a Mo/N bonder (First he was the Mo/R with Symbiosis) and after 500k ~ i added even Talkhora as a Mo/R with health and energy pips (Although i didn't use Aura of Faith and Blessed Aura, it managed to do the trick), since once i crashed during a battle and survived, and thought it was better not to do the same error again.

I hope these advices can be useful for everyone who will try this run. My last advice is not to rush: the run will take you MUCH Time (I got the title in about three days), but if you do it carefully it will be worth it.

thankyou so much for the guide

without it i dont think i would have attempted to go for this title.
i finally got the title on my 6th attempt...
the first 3 were failures because i died on the run.
the 4th, i went out of symbiosis' range and i got healed -- therefore killing me D;
the 5th time i was at around 1,200,000xp and got disconnected, and when i reconnected i was dead

the way i got this title is to do everything according to the guide, up til lv17 and a half
then i did the kaineng city quests to get to lv20, from where on i went to gunnar's hold in eye of the north to do the dwarven boxing.
it goes pretty fast, with slayer's insight scrolls you net about 30k+ exp per run (not including the reward) -- which takes around 10 minutes. using 2 per run, and they pay for themselves with all the loot you collect, id and sell back to the merchant.
the hardest part for the last attempt, was finding a runner to lions arch from ascalon.. took a good 2 hours at least, then there was the issue of trying to not disconnect while leveling

but i can say eventhough it was frustrating remaking the character all those times, i came out of it with a nice title, a few tomes (normal and elite) and a stack load of ales which will go towards the drunkard title

I realize it's a little off-topic but I was wondering if there were any other spots people had seen that worked with this build -- doing this one gets a lot of good drops, but they're mostly the same and if I was just farming, nothing here is particularly profitable (for sale to players, as opposed to merchant).

ok guys i'm trying to do this with an assassin .. is it best to take 2 monk heroes or just 1 is ok?

Chocolate_Prayers · Oct 28, 2007, 12:43 PM // 12:43

personally i use 2 monk heroes, AND melonni for holy veil, purifying veil etc, not for their effects.. just for the extra hp from symbiosis

title is not too broken then, gg =D.

Qual · Nov 03, 2007, 12:08 PM // 12:08

why has the guide been removed ?!?!

Antithesis · Nov 03, 2007, 02:17 PM // 14:17

WTF has happened to my guide! It's gorn baby gorn...

I'll see if i have a backup.

Antithesis · Nov 03, 2007, 02:32 PM // 14:32

OK, i haven't edited the guide in two months and it's suddenly disappeared. I've contacted an admin to see if the post can be restored. I'm not 100% on that so don't hold your breath.

I do have a copy of the page containing all text and images, but not the bb and guildwiki code. So if worst comes to worst, i'll need to rebuild the post which will take a few days....real life takes priority when it comes to paying bills and putting food on the table.

ty for the guide now I´m legendary survivor^^

Messy · Nov 04, 2007, 03:56 PM // 15:56

I was wondering about the the guide.... saw it gone, saw you had edited your post... thought... "oh my... somebody upset him and he deleted it". I'm glad that was not the case, and I hope you find the original one, or that mods can restore it.

great work btw

Just skimming through the thread (because the guide is down) led me to a discovery: this run is impossible without prophecies?

So do most of these runs.

You always need echants from proph... blargh.

If anyone could direct me to a NF/Factions farming location with only NF/Factions and core skills I'd be much obliged.

angmar_nite · Nov 04, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

You can't 55 without proph.

first off thanks for this guide. it helped me out alot. but while i was grinding for my title i couldnt help but think there might be a better/safer place to do this maybe even work on another title at the same time eg :sunspear.

so i found this great run just outside the Sunspear Great Hall.(in HM) use the 300g scrolls(5mins every boss), grab the bug blessing and start by killing the first few big groups of Stalking Nephila and then carry on killing up to the boss Hassin Softskin. and then run east to grab the plant blessing and beat up a few Jacarandas and Ibogas around that area and then kill the plant boss Suneh Stormbringer. after that you can mess around untill your xp scroll wears off.

using the same hero bonder builds and same idea of shield of judgement to help give you some time to breath.

this gave me an avarage of 25000xp 420ss points and +1k of loot per run with the ocasional glod drop. and takes just under 15mins a run.

i realise that this is not as much xp as your "hard" run per hour but i found it to be alot safer(the monsters in this area have no scary skills and just do enough damage to set off SB, as long as you have the lowest al possible, so even if you lag you still have some extra time to recast) and also it works on 2titles at once.

which was the only reason i did this over the market place runs.

oh and i apologise in advance for my terible spelling and gramma

You can earn 50,000 to 70,000XP in a 15min run by taking out all Jade Brotherhood (extend the hard run to the whole NW island). Pretty easy once you get the hang of it...at least with a Mo/Me or Me/Mo. Had a few hairy moments with my Mesmer, but 99% of it was great fun.

Sunspear Great Hall has been posted a few times in the thread, sounds like a safe option and is likely less boring than rinsing and repeating the first two Jade Knight groups. The thread is more about the build than the location, so the more spots posted, the merrier

I'll be updating the guide when it goes back online to simplify it, add GW:EN skills and to highlight alternative locations that have been posted by other GWG'ers in this and other threads.

Ambuu · Nov 06, 2007, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Going for this on my sin. any ideas on skills and equipment?

Antithesis · Nov 06, 2007, 08:13 AM // 08:13

The guide is back online...well, most of it anyway. I'll finish the rest when i dig up some more spare time, but the important stuff is there.

Vulkanyaz · Nov 07, 2007, 02:27 AM // 02:27

Question:

atm I'm lvl9..
Could I just xp farm this with the same builds until I reach lvl20, rather than reaching lvl20 first>?
