Curse

I am about half way to tier 3 of legendary survivor (530kish experience). Earned about 370k of that from farming jade knights in hard mode, the other 160k was just from regular leveling up and ascending in crystal desert.

The only thing now is, it's so mind numbingly boring (yet I know safest way to level up).

I would like to go do something that'll get me alot more experience, like fow (I would try to leech exp in uw but i'm kind of afraid since stuff like aatxes can instant kill me in 1hit-2).

The only other good safe farm= fast faction farming, but the problem with that is getting there. Vizunah square, plus arborstone and what not (for kurzick fff).

So it leaves me to wonder, where are some good safe areas for experience?

I am kind of assuming I should just stick with the boringness of 5 hour plus jade knight farms inorder to get the remaining experience. But any advice would help.

I've recently made a para too, planning to get him legendary survivor too. But I don't wanna farm the title, since its boring and doesn't really show your playing skill as a player anyway.

Right now I'm just playing trough the games, and doing GWEN gives some good experience. I would advice you to start there.

As a paragon its hard to die anyway, and if you have a good hero set up you can breeze trough almost every area. I use the 3 necros, orginal builds posted somewhere on this forum, a jagged bones MM, a ss with mop and a necro healer. I changed them a bit to my preference, making the healer not rit but monk with healers boon + hparty (=win). And deleting the heals from the MM for putridbile+risingbile.

The most obvious choice would be skillcapping in relativly safe places (before Varesh / Vizunah). Costs a few plat but the xp is pretty fast and it's not boring.

Sometimes when I'm really bored I use my super crappy VwK farming 'build' (basicly it only recuires VwK on your bar

) and farm the ranger bugs outside Sunspear Great Hall in hardmode. Should work well for survivor too, I think its 204xp per mob without scrolls, and you kill around 8-9 in 70sec or so. If you talk to the priest there you get sunspear points as a bonus. Boring like your Jade Knight farm but at least its a change of scenery and its pretty safe.

I'd still say skillcapping is a good choice though, if the plat is no problem.

Dont worry too much of Vizuna, since you got 80 armour, the enemies wont attack you that quick. Just bring 2 MM's and like 3 healers. Worked fine for me.

And Arborstone, bring an MM and 3 monks.

Defense ftw.

Try capping skills when you're in explorables and/or missions.

PS. Dont use Superiors.

It's not the vizunah mission i'm worried about, but the bug that causes a death if you don't skip cut scene. Some people say it's fixed, others say it still happens. So I don't wanna risk it.

Then skip it, exit and reenter the mission untill you are alone.
