Default Which Survivor Build?

Currently have a lvl 13 rit/mo gonna go get to 20 via Kilroy. and came across the decision to farm Exp via 330 in Waijun Bazaar or to do the Bonders+Simbyosis and was wondering what way would be better. Ive never had a survivor toon before nor have i really tried and was wondering what would be safest and fastest

I'm not sure what those builds are, but my Survivor toon is a rit/monk. But I would suggest going to Nightfall and getting some heroes, if you haven't already done that. NF had the easiest way to get to EoTN also. Use scrolls with Kilroy. Oh there's lots of suggestions and ways to level up.

330 build is Vengeful Was Khanhei[e] Vengeful Weapon Protective Spirit Spirit Bond Reversal of Damage Retrubition Essence Bond and Balthazar's Spirit.

from what i understand with the bonder and simbyosis is u have 1-3 bonder heros that buff you and then one lays Simbyosis so u have like 3k life and you do Shield of Judgement on yourself to kill the mobs.

also if possible i would like to lean away from farming killroy til R3

When im taking my next survivor through (gonna be para), for the major farming im gonna do HFFF. This is mainly coz itll help me rank my kurzick title, and maybe one day ill suck it up and farm r12. But I think that kilroys quest is the fastest if you dont lag. Coz if you lag, you might not be able to stand up and survivor will go bye bye.

Here is a different idea that works. You WILL NOT DIE. There is no REASONABLE way to die.

Simply kill the snow wurms outside of Borial's Pass. There are 13 of them in Normal Mode and 10 in Hard Mode. ONLY 10 I can not stress this FACT enought. If you try and kill the other 3 in hard mode you WILL eventually die cause of the lvl 30 trees. STAY AWAY for them.

Easy as that. I have a Legendary Survivor. ign A S L A N. If you want me to show you my pattern let me know.

I am currently working on a second LS with my wife as well. It is the best starter title to get IMHO.

So far I have just gotten lvl 20 or lvl 1 of the title on my new toon. I am trying to see how much gold and stuff you get. I know that it is only with 2 toons but so far it is consistant.

From lvl 10-20 we each have gotten 11 lockpicks. I have only gotten 2 gold drops (NM of course) but she has 7. I have been getting dyes about 10 of them and she only 2. One of mine was a black.

So it seems like you either get a dye or a gold item. The most impressive one is the lockpicks. You average one per lvl up or about every 5K xp.
I have around 8K - I bought some scrolls and she has over 15K from drops and the golds. So if i sold my black dye we have about the same.

My point is that getting the LS killing snow wurms will not cost you anything. If you have a good build then you can kill the 13 snow wurms in under 3.5 minutes a shot.

So now the math...lvl 20 is 140,600 xp. so that as a starting point.

For 1.4 Million XP With the 75% more xp scroll

You will need 1,259,400 xp (a little less cause I rounded the number up) 1,400,000 - 140,600 = 1,259,400 XP

With the scroll you get 2,275 XP per run (normal mode)
1,259,400/2,275 = 554 runs.

It takes 3.5 Minutes to do a run. (must tweak your build to get it just right)

3.5 Minutes X 554 = 1,939 Minutes or 32.32 hours.

If you play 3 hours a day it will take you a little more than a week. 11 days to be exact.

Now this is a SURE thing. You can not die. You do not even need the "Max" armor. If you take damage just take 3 steps back heal yourself and go at it again. You Will get drops to pay for scrolls and 11 days is not that much considering that LDoA is takes me 7 hours death leveling every day for the next 44 days. More if I get disconnected like I did last night. I am dling at night an when I am at work to try and cut it down to 22 more days w/o disconnects.

As a side note. Get the shrine bonus. You might as well get norn points for every thing you kill. It will also be an good record to keep track of how many wurms you killed. (only if you do normal mode all of the time)

Have fun. See you at the pass

I am currently doing it in HM with my Rit. I get 924 exp per kill with Slayer's Insight Scrolls(+250%/5 min). Runs take about 4-5 minutes. I can SOMETIMES kill the last 3 wurms but its a risk. If I do agro the pinesouls they usually just go for the spirits and I resign with plenty of time. So about 9240-12012 exp in 4-5 minutes. The price of scrolls add up but I think it evens out with drops. So far 4k in gold + drops 3 golds, and 8 lockpicks. Only have done about 15 runs from level 16. I can post my build later if you want.

Pick up all drops including white/blue/purples and id them if you already don't. Get a little extra gold but it adds up too.
