I wouldn't have been able to stand six hours a night of chestrunning myself. I did 25 Boreal chests every day, which took about 30-45 minutes, until I was done. It took about six months that way, but the rest of my playtime could be spent doing things that were more fun. It was also more affordable that way, since I never spent more than 100k/week on picks at most, and the cost went down as my retention rate went up.

doing luxon and kurzick titles are simple, you get tons of golds from the monsters/ elite tomes and such from bosses and locked chests, you can work on an abundance of titles at once, and the fact gw2 has no release day yet, you have many months to max your titles. i did both kurz and luxon and got my wisdom from them

You aughta get all the vanquishing and cortographer stuff done.

Another vote for vanquishing and cartographer. You can do the two of those with skill hunter rather simultaneously....and they'll pay for the consumable titles as well. Use candies, turn off post-processing and run drunken master. don't forget to buy lockpicks. There are very few titles you CAN'T work on while vanquishing...you'll be gimping yourself if you skip that title line. Vanquish EOTN first for your LMOTN title and individual faction titles, making your PVE skills more powerful for the tougher 4-man areas in tyria.

As far as lucky/unlucky...it'll cost you a pretty penny using lockpicks, because if you chest run low level areas for easy lucky, you'll have a higher retain rate so you'll destroy your chances at an easy unlucky. You'll essentially have to drop coin on locked chests and suffer a dismal retain rate to get unlucky high enough so it evens out with your retains later on to max them both. I haven't maxed either and I have GWAMM without survivor/ldoa. Vanquish, cartography, guardian/protector, skill hunter, eotn titles and kurzick/luxon should top you out easily. If you go survivor and both luxon/kurzick, you only need one consumable title, and I suggest sweet tooth...as before, you can run candy while vanquishing/HM missions to give you that extra boost to speed up those titles. party items give no such advantage and drunkard is so hard to maintain while fighting, you'll slip up pretty often and not get the full benefits.

What's the best setup to Vanq EotN? I've tried and I often get pwned. 'Course, I started out in Cantha >_> Any tips for those of us who are mostly new to VQing? I havent since 2008...

@ distilledwill
if you need a PvP title still, make zaishen your last title and get 50/50 HoM otherwise idk, all sound like a pain yes. (if you care about HoM that is)

@AlyaraSaykomora
Sabway and Discordway will be the answer you'll hear the most
Assuming from the info under your name I guess you're a warrior. I dislike warrior in PvE but what got me through some HM was:
1 smite (strenght of honour, smite hex, smite condition, RoJ, Caustion signet (the energy thing) and some optionals: smiters boon + reversal of damage, judge insight, ancestors rage + splinter (spec no divine)
this helps your own damage alot
1 Signet of Spirits healer, SoS, (painfull bond/life) mend body, spirit light, prot was kaolai, wep of warding/resilient, flesh of my flesh and if you're a melee as I guess splinter (if not on smite) is strong ^^
Other was quite optional, usually rupt based or minion master (great with mark of fury and stuff if you use adrenaline skills)

EotN henchies I tend to take zho if I don't take any rupts on heroes, both healers sometimes one, depend how good your surviveablity is and hmm talon or herta would be the best I guess

But you should ignore anyone that tells you to run Discord on a Warrior. I think Sabway is a bit dated but people still run it. Meh.

Also assuming you're a Warrior...

*SoS Rit
*ST/SoGM/ER (go for the SoGM unless you need the extra defense)
*MB/Smiter (Smiter for when there aren't enough corpses for the MB to be viable)

I'm sure you can find the bars.

And discord is best for Ele's right? Also: I somehow screwed up my f11 key things a couple of weeks ago. I accidentally ctrl alt flipped my screen like 4 times in a row so I switched a few things around until it was fixed and now I can't call what I'm attacking or following. or ping my skill bar.

Can someone please tell me what friggin one it is? X_X

No. Ignore people who worship Discord like it's the best thing ever. Those people have no idea what they're talking about. Spiritway is better. Of course given the current state of PvE you can run Discord and be perfectly successful, but keep in mind it's definitely not the best thing to run.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here. There are Restore Default buttons in the options menu if you need to fix things though (for both interface and key bindings).
