So I've been testing a few ways to get legendary survivor on my Necro. I found that the fastest personally was farming raptors so far. ~140k exp in 45 minutes without using scrolls. However this way was very dangerous because I cannot kill Rekoff anymore. Once I got to 56k exp and died to rekoff because I couldn't kill her.

On the survivor page on wiki, it seems like Kilroy is the second best with 44000 exp/hour with scrolls.

Any other ideas?

Kilroy is 42-44k XP every ten minutes, not every hour - that's one run with a triple XP scroll in HM.

Killing Wurms outside Boreal Station with 800g scrolls.
Including running, killing 10 wurms gives 9450exp in 3 minutes.
That boils down to 189k exp/hour risk free. Even if you DC, chances are high you're still a survivor when you get back. And the 800g for the scroll is usually regained from drops like lockpicks and gold. Gain a decent Deldrimor rank, bring booze and Drunken Master and you might even do it in less than 3 minutes.

Wurms pop up in a certain pattern, you will learn the pattern for faster exp after a few runs.

Took me ~3 hours to get Legendary Survivor by farming Vaettirs in HM on my sin using triple XP scrolls.

This, but the fastest way will always be Kath Hammers. If you have the money, it literally takes maybe an hour.

Doing this on my Paragon, have gotten 1,245,300 experience in about 3 hours using 175% scrolls.

Trapping Stygian Veil on my ranger with x3 scrolls for ~190k exp/hour

Cool thx for the suggestions, I may go for some kath hammers later, but for now I think i'll continue Kilroy

Omfg it's on wiki!? I thought I was being creative...

FoWSC 20 min with a guild group? That's my record time so far with a pug. Scared of dying though.

Pleikki · Mar 05, 2011, 08:37 AM // 08:37

Buy kath hammers, i did that, took hour!

Cost 180e tho

Spiritz · Mar 05, 2011, 09:22 AM // 09:22

Gunnars is probably the fastest cheapest way ( hammers is a buy option ) but it also runs the highest risk ( excluding raptors ) due to the fact you can die thru lag spikes.And for every survivor who makes it to max via gunnars theres probably 10+ ppl who fail thru lag.
One memorable time was when i got weird lag lvling a chr and my screen said foes were dead and suddenly i was on floor dead and no timer and green icon - the red icon only showed when i got bk to gunnars and i was surprised to see on chat around 6 others who died within same time period as me thru lag spike - memorable because it shows it wasnt just me.
Wurms is probably the safest but longest way - unless anet turned off servers or world got nuked , lag couldnt kill you.
Vaetires can be done easily if you are both used to the build and confident enough ( and lucky ) usually you can expect to die at least a few times thru either human error or slight lag.

On the other hand, it will probably take you much longer buying the hammers.

is it possible to achieve survivor by giving back books? Just keep 10-12 flameseeker book and give it back all togehter? It is not the faster way, but it is the less risk (you can die but don't care because you get the experience all together)

Turning in the books would be very fast but it would take a long time to actually finish the books.

I second that. That's 900+ xp per mob. However it can be risky if you're not used to it.

I've gotten two Legendary Survivors within the past 24 hours with Vaettirs and the 175% xp (300g) scrolls.

It's safe if you pay attention and stay alert.
