Fastest Way to LDOA

Discuss methods to gain LDOA as fast as possible.


New Method post March 11, 2011 Update based on quest Vanguard Rescue: Farmer Hamnet

- Create New Character and fuel it with lots of money by converting post gold to pre gold. I've seen rates of 2 post :1 pre.

- Avoid Pre Quests but start monk secondary without completing it to get heal skill

- With the converted gold you have from post buy 50 flowers(1.5k) to get a hat, rune (1-3k) and salvage kit (5-7k) to +2 your offensive attribute. Also buy a vigor (5k) and what not.

-If you can, spawn bonus weapons

-With the converted gold hire a high level player to speed clear the 4 Charr bosses in the Northlands and any charr on the way or at the bosses. High level player kills but you spam heal on high level player. Repeatedly do this till level 10. ( agree to terms you work out perhaps pay by level or foe kill count)

-At level 10 take quest Vanguard Rescue: Farmer Hamnet

-Go to Foible's Fair solo, zone into Wizard's Folly rush south to first 2 quest spawned foes and kill. You can use the level 5 monk at the resurrection shrine as a meat shield if needed. Also use your fire imp if you have. After first 2 foes are dead resign and rezone (takes maybe 45 seconds per complete run cycle). Repeat till level 19.

example time to level....
Getting from level 17 to 18 should take about 1 hour and 8 minutes.
Getting from level 18 to 19 should take about 1 hour and 35 minutes.

-At Level 19 Do all Pre Quests

- Go Back to farming Vanguard Rescue: Farmer Hamnet till 1,000 experience short of level 20. Finish the quest and turn in for the last 1,000 needed for title.

Results: LDOA in 2-3 Days.

No fool proof, probably quite easy to scam unless theres a method I dont know about. Maybe try and grab some collateral, like a piece of armor or weapon thats customized.

im looking for this service if anyone is offering it

i would pay 2 ectos per lvl from 10-20 for this

Just because it is possible doesn't change the fact that this is uber grind. nty.

well uh I actually think we could pull Ldoa Very fast using this quest. from a new character to level 10 with a level 18 doing the quest for me took 40 minutes.

With today's update (March 10,2011) my original method was stealth nerfed. I will research a new method but it will undoubtedly be much much longer.

Thanks very much for what made for a much faster than expected maximum title.

Just one suggestion: don't wait until level 19 to do the quests.
At levels 10 and 17, you're +2 levels over the enemies and are earning 64 xp per kill. At 11, 14, and 18, you're +3 earning 48.

At 12, 15, and 19, you're +4 earning 32. At 13 and 16, you're +5 earning 16. These are the real grinds. Compared to claiming all the quest rewards at 19, doing so at level 13 or 16 saves twice as much time.

Some might prefer to stall this XP farm for those two tedious levels to do the daily quests, which become faster XP for the time invested.

...be anything/monk and smite the undead quest. The first group has 4 enimies, takes about 45 seconds to do it u ball them and use symbol of wrath. Oh and you do double damage

Why use /resign when you can just press M and click the outpost? I find it faster because there is delay before game accepts your resign. Of course, clicking the outpost on the map needs more attention but it should be faster.

/Resign will take you straight to the exit if you rezoned before you went on your merry way So you can resume pwning enemies outside much faster.

But clicking on the map will plant you on any number of spawn points inside the outpost so you have to run back to the exit each time.

"EDIT" That's all I could think of

Good that this topic came back into existence!
Going to log into my perma-pre now that I've found about this guide! Thanks again!
