Ok. So the title is real. I'm assuming then you have to make a choice between the Survivor title track and this one? Since in order to get this title, you have to do this thing called death-leveling.

In which case, how does one exactly go about getting this title? I want to see if its worth doing this one or just sticking with survivor.

If you go over the wall and let the other guy Death Level the Charr, then you kill them.

It is possible to get Defender of Ascalon and Survivor in Pre Searing.

Anyone have any ideas on how long this would take?

I remember me and a friend dying at different times while fighting the Charr over the wall and resurrecting at the shrine beside the gate. Then I would run to where he was fighting, he died on the way there and he res'd at the shrine while I was on my way.

So I think in Pre Sear you res at the shrine as you die.

So I think in Pre Sear you res at the shrine as you die. No that was changed a while back. Now both party members need to die before the rez shrine kicks in, even if the surviving party member doesn't have a Rez Sig.

Unless ANet has introduced some level 14+ monsters somewhere in Pre-sear then the two titles are mutually exclusive.

It takes months to get the Protector title since after reaching level 16 you are limited to maybe 2 or 3 kills a day that will only give you 100-168 xp depending on your level and assuming you are letting the beastie level up to 20. You'll have to do it 128 times to get from 19-20 alone.

It has been a while since I leveled one, but I believe it takes about 8 hours to get a Strider outside the Abbey to level 20. And that's assuming you don't err-07 or lose agro.

The three Striders by the Feather just outside the Abbey would be a perfect group to pull, as their splitting the XP from your death would be made up by them killing you significantly faster, but the last I knew they will not pull all the way to the shrine. Pulling two of the Striders that sometime roam around the shrine won’t do you any XP wise since they don’t share experience in a kill. One might level up a couple levels but the other one will eventually outstrip it and then start getting credit for all the kills. Having Multiple Striders on you does help kill you faster though and cuts down the time needed by the other Strider to get to level 20 by probably a 1/5th (very rough and unverified estimate.)

This is the most stupid title ive ever seen in the history of GW.... IMO Who in they're right mind would go for this... Levelling the Charr alone would take ages, then once you've killed them and gained a little bit of exp which decreases the higher you go, then you just start all over again.. and again, and again, and again....... again! Do ANet want people to have no life :P?

Save all of your quests until you reach lvl 16 and can't get anymore xp. It well get you atleast closer to you goal.

Also, to help along in the early stages, you can take Char at the Gate and kill the level 6 char (the highest level characters available without going over the wall.) Then go back to town, abandon it, and then go to Rurick and get it again.

So the only way to get this Legendary Title is via Death Leveling? Is there no other way so that we can attain both [Legendary] Survivor and Legendary Defender of Ascalon? The highest level enemies, I believe are only the level 10 Charr bosses so killing them over and over wouldn't work... I think... I wish they put a high level boss or two somewhere...

After questioning a number of people in pre-searing I believe the title dosn't show up until level 10-12. I have asked three seperate level 15 characters in pre-searing and they all confirm it. I am working on reaching level 12 to get a screen shot to prove it, but this title should be placed back up on the site. --Guest 18:43, 28 October 2006 (CDT)

This title is real. I have it in my title track. I am level 14/20. It reads Defender of Ascalon Title Track (no title earned). When i mouse over it says. You will earn the title Legendary Defender of Ascalon if you reach level 20 prior to the destruction of Ascalon. And I know God Anti------ and they have the title also although I was not the one to post that screen shot.

I Just made a Character in Pre-searing and began asking around if anyone has this title. I asked a lv10, Lv13, lv11, and two lv14's It seems that this title IS real! It appears when you reach lv14. ~ Zero rogue x 02:49, 29 October 2006 (CST)

Lame, yet another title not accessible by current characters. Seems to be more of a title for the few people who had already gotten to 20 pre-sear, as it takes months to do it through death leveling. I mean honestly, how are you a Legendary Defender of Ascalon when all you do is let yourself be killed to strengthen Ascalon's enemies? At least Survivor is somewhat doable =/.

Anyone have any ideas on how long this would take? same time as it would take the charr to level from your deaths.

I left pre once at lvl 18 with like 4k to go to lvl 19

My friend however made it to 20 once but I'm talkin about like when guildwars was just out and we all were cute lil newbies

btw I just wonder how u should feel when u enter the academy and see a lvl 20 party.... id say BB survivior to yourself since last time I got my ranger out of pre my gl was getting all the deaths (we won with 12-2) stefan and my GL died or else I would have :P I was going for the title....made it to lvl 1 without grinding for exp progress is like halfway to lvl2

I'm still trying to figure out what this title proves? Yeah, its all nice and dandy to have a title that most people don't, but even if you get it, I still don't think people will give you any more respect for it. All it is really proving is that you know how to deathlevel! I remember when the game game out and getting the survivor title was a pretty big accomplishment and it gave you a little respect. Then came along powerleveling and now it's like "so....your point?" (sorry for those that actually TRULY earned the title). IMHO, it's just a pretty stupid idea. There are much better things to do than attempting for this pointless title.

not really.. as far as I know he (or she) just lured the charr to the shrine when it was still possible
