I was wondering which reputation title would be easiest to max.

For example doing the snowman dungeon for the delver
Farming outside of Olafstad or do the path of revelation quest for the norn
Farm outside of Arbor Bay or Magus Stone for the asuran
Doing the farm run for the vanguard.

As far as Ive heard these are the easiest ways to max out each title, so I was wondering which one of these is the fastest. Also if you know any better locations post them here or something. Thanks

Clearing Magus Stones in HM was very fast for the asuran title.. I guess 4-5k a run (which takes 50-70 mins with a good team). I was earning 10-15k points during the double rep. week-end.

isnt revelation for norn?

I got max ebon vanguard in 6 or 7 HM runs on the double weekend. You can get about 10k from a good run in NM. Aslo geting dwarf points is easy you just need to melt tons of snowman.

Easiest to max? Dwarf, easily.

I believe it's dwarf that is easiest to max, hard mode snowmen= easy if you use some skills to block some of the snowballs.

Paragons (1 or 2) with defensive anthem, tntf and they're on fire= you take like 30 or so damage from a snowball and block half of them. Then just use some searing flames heroes and they rip right through half the snowmen by the time da goes down.

Snowball's are spells, therefore, you cannot block them with Defensive Anthem.

Delver. The others don't even come close.

A (reliable) PvE friend of mine told me last night that Arbor Bay was better than Magus Stones for farming Asura points (even though I've always used Magus myself). Has anyone else found this to be the case? I need to start working on my r7 Asura soon since it's now my lowest rep title.

AlienFromBeyond · Oct 18, 2007, 03:24 AM // 03:24

The reason might be because there are a ton of Krait, and I think if they metamorphosis the new one counts for reputation as well.

Racthoh · Oct 18, 2007, 06:11 AM // 06:11

The spiders are so easy though, the Krait can be a pain.

Xinrae's Weapon or her ashes on a warrior really makes the snowmen easy, hard or normal mode. Despite using three books on my vanguard title, my delver was still maxed first (was r7 going into the weekend).

when I farmed 80k asura points in nm before hm was introduced I farmed the arbor bay,I did some runs in magu stones too,not to bad,but to few shrines and and you cant keep the rampage up for not so long..

so heres my suggestion,do arbor bay,if you get r2 in hunt and are halfway ,you have 70% keeping hunt rampage up in nm rest of the area,and yes the kraits are really bitchy,but you get faster rep points from em,but I think they will be hard in hm,havent tried that yet..

Kraits are a pain in HM, just one death swarm takes near half your health still so you need 3 monks and still plan on a lot of DP. Even so Arbor Bay I think it the easiest if the Asura Area in HM. The Raptors in Riven and Swamp are just way to much, like packs of overpowered swarming spastics. and the extremely excessive healing most monsters have in Mangus means up to five minutes plus per mob, especially the Frog ones if you can even kill them so racking up points there is a very slow go.

you're running the wrong build if you ever need three monks - ive vanquished every asura area with heroes and henchies and never had problems,..

Carboplatin · Oct 18, 2007, 02:22 PM // 14:22

whats easier/less painfull?

bookfarming vs mindless killing?

Lourens · Oct 18, 2007, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Arbor bay is faster

unienaule · Oct 18, 2007, 05:04 PM // 17:04

Hard mode snowman is easiest time-wise I think, but it's so boring and mindless that it made it difficult for me to want to do more of it.

DRGN · Oct 18, 2007, 05:08 PM // 17:08

I found Magus Stones HM to be WAY easier than Arbor Bay HM. Magus only has a few real trouble spots. If you aggro both mobs of Wind Riders at the start, that can be a pain in the butt to deal with(Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame, CoF, Shame). Then the spider cave in the south can be trouble. I found that if you come up into it from the south, you can pull the groups apart more easily. One Lifeweaver is cake, two are a pain but doable, but three are just annoying as hell. The Warrior boss in the southwest MIGHT be a problem but only if you aggro the frogs at the same time and get mobbed. Plus, Magus has several bosses, whereas Arbor has two.

I found Arbor Bay to be more frustrating with H/H at least because those Chromatic Drakes seem to show up in places they usually aren't in NM. Henchmen love those 55-60 damage Fire Storms, and that Sliver Armor can take out the tank really fast, but if you can slap SoA on him it's fine. The patrols are the most irritating part. It seemed whenever I aggroed a mob near the start, that monk boss was like LOLGANK.

Issac · Oct 18, 2007, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Well most people seem to say arbor bay is the fastest, but might not be the easiest. Can anyone tell me the location where to start and stop. Or jsut do the run and post the image of the map. Thanks
