Same spot, same builds. Can easily be done as a lvl 5. Just dump all points into Prot.

having failed surivor rank 2 on 2 of my characters i recon ill go for this again. Im going to have to delete my PVP slot thugh

...never do pvp anyway, i can just use a pve character for it or maybe buy another slot another day.

Which would you recommend;
Assasin
Dervish
Ellimentalist - which continent do you suggest

It doesn't really matter which primary you choose as the Smite bonds do the lion's share of the damage, just take Monk as the secondary.

The fastest and easiest way is to go with either a Mo/Me or Me/Mo and extend the run to farm all 95-100 Jade Brotherhood once you've graduated to the medium and hard runs. You can do it in 18-20 mins for 70,000XP per run with 2 or 3 Slayer's Insight scrolls.

Tyrian characters are the quickest - get a run from Ascalon to Lion's Arch and board a ship to Kamadan to pick up the lvl 15 heroes, then to Kaineng to head to The Marketplace. You'll be ready in about 2 hours to start the run. Factions characters take about 4 hours to get to the same point, Nightfall about 10 hours if you complete all the Istan quests and level your heroes up to lvl 15.

cool thanks. im makinga tyrian ellimentalist called legendary survival; if your on you can gimme a hand. going to make a detour first and pick up a tapestry thread.

EDIT: made him, got shred, got to LA, Kamedam, got heros, gone to kaineng then market place. Got some runse and put it on basic armor from ascalon...

Before i can do the farming i need to buy a few monk skills on my monk so the heros can use them. I need a run to beetltun from la so i can buy a monk skill for the build; and i need 2 elly skills which i cant get any tomes for.

Thanks for the guide!

I've gotten two chars to Survivor (1) in no time on my first two tries, but then got a bit greedy/slash careless and died (Headbutt! Ouch! I guess that was ANet's way of saying: "Don't cap Headbutt on a Monk").

Both characters were Monks, and started in Nightfall. I started the runs with my second one at level 8, with a level 8 Dunkoro as the main Bonder, and a level 8 Koss providing Succor and Mending. I got to 20 with no problems.

This time 'round, I'm gonna take it easy, which is really the key; you just need to be patient.

Thanks a lot!

Somebody can tell me why Tahlkora don't want to cast spell when i tell her to cast it sometimes ? She got full energy...

Deidara · Jul 28, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38

This build is pretty good...

but where do I put Dunkoro and Tahlkora? I want all the XP for myself, I can't move them completely out of my sight that they can't cast the spells, but if I don't then they get the XP. =|

EDIT: Wait, never mind. They cast it on you before the battle. But isn't it if they're not off your radar, they get the XP as well? ._.

kiloae · Jul 29, 2007, 12:16 AM // 00:16

If I'm ranger primary, would barrage do dmg faster or SoJ?

Right when you enter the Bazaar, flag them - leave them in the end of the little hallway thing, near the entrance to the Marketplace.

Also, as long as they're not within your circle, they won't get the experience. However, they do need to be on your radar to maintain the bonds

Aqualung · Aug 03, 2007, 12:50 AM // 00:50

Anyone ever did this farm solo? I don't have Nightfall, so I think I'll try this with the Rt/Mo Vengeful Spirit Bonder build. Is it possible?

Angel Netherborn · Aug 06, 2007, 07:54 AM // 07:54

Nice guide! I browsed through all 3 pages and noticed that nobody mentioned an incorrectness in the guide (sry if someone did and I missed that):

Those traps in Fahranur will _not_ affect your death count.

They don't give you any deaths... neither do the ones in furnace...

Mkay thanks guys, will update the guide to say it doesn't count as a death, but it's still best pointed out as a risky spot.

You'll be dead before you can get a second barrage off

Ranger would be the suckiest primary to attempt this run. You won't be dead before you pull off a second barrage but there's a good chance they will be.

Spirit Bond will keep you alive, the smite bonds will drop the Jades...all you really need to do is keep Spirit Bond renewed. Neither Barrage nor SoJ are required, if i was to pick one i'd go SoJ to help you get used to the timing of SB. For a bit more fun i'd go Barrage, Dual Shot, Triple Shot but they're not going to make that much of a difference.

Hey, I just got my Paragon, to rank 1.

Then, I started HM farming.

The first farms went well.
I did the Hard farm a few times.

Then, at the first 3 Knights, Dunkoro's health dropped to half, and it didnt regenerate back. I lost ALL my bonds, wich is strange, because I also bond myself, and Melonni bonds me too.

ALL BONDS were lost.

Not because I walked out of bonding range. I still had them in my Radar.

I died, at 8 hours work on 200k xp.

What happened?!?

~Prof....

Antithesis · Aug 09, 2007, 11:23 AM // 11:23

One of two things spring to mind (because i've done both) -

1. You let the Jades slip past and attack your bonders. As soon as that happens log out, the loss of the title isn't worth the 300g cost of a scroll.

2. Wrong bonders - if you're a P/Mo take the Smite and Heal bonders, not the Life and Heal bonders from the Other Classes section.

It took me a little while to find a P/Mo build i was happy with, but once i got it going i found it really enjoyable. But if your purpose is solely to farm the title, go with a Me/Mo or Mo/Me...the full 95 Jade run is a breeze.

Prof Of Black · Aug 09, 2007, 01:18 PM // 13:18

I want my Para have the title :P

But it wasnt #1, because when I got rezzed, Dunks still had half of his hp left!

#2, Never had problems with the bonders soo

What could that be, when we got rezzed, Dunks had still only 130/260HP left..
