Legendary Survivor - the safe, easy and quick way to XP farm the title
Enjoi
HAHA dude, i left symbiosis and had 1 hp. then Dunkoro healed me and i died.. what kinda crap is that lol..
gmonster2
Thanks for the idea its working well...
Suggested skills for mesmer, i'm take illusion of weakness an enchantment that doesnt drain any energy pips from me and gives an emergency heal and adds to my max health . Ether nightmare and empathy for extra damage dealing...also life attunement and essence bond.
If u have gw en once u get to lvl 20 do one quick quest and get ogden lvl 20 monk. Also theres a quick quest lost treasure for extra 15 attribute points if coming from factions(the easiest took me 4 hrs to get to marketplace and have all the skills)..
I use 3 monks one healing , beast mastery (12) has the sq and symbiosis and mending watchful spirit and any other enchantment, one has smiting skills(16) and succor and one protection (16) life barrier+ vital blessing & balth spirit ... they cast 3 enchantments on me each and i cast 3 my health going in is 2182 more with ps and sb up. Give one of them blood ritual also for a quicker bonding session...and all have the signet for energy while maintaining enchants and signets for healing the br guy...
Radience dont take chances aggroing the 6 unless u get a good spawn , after killing the 1st group move up recast symbiosis . wait for 2nd grp dont go down the ramp always stay in symbiosis range... 90 secs per run..

well you guys, this guide has worked exellent !
i must say, i'm very pleased now
ty very much for all the explanation
i used scrolls for every run, costed me about 70K~ worth of rampager scrolls farmed about 10 hours, did it in 2 days (only the farm, the elona noob land took so long xD) 
but it was worth it at the end
Now to get Vabbi armor and maybe FoW
TY

Hey_homies

I've been using this build / system in Wajjun Bazaar until it occurred to me that it would work really well somewhere else.
Try using it for farming the insects outside Sunspear Great Hall. Don't worry about the Iboga, the degen won't touch your health regen. You can happily farm all the stalking nephilia, termites and preying lance. It is a longer run, but that lets you use the full five or ten minutes worth of scroll time, and you are able to farm toward your Sunspear Title at the same time. I haven't crunched the numbers on xp, but they look pretty comparable to me.

I used this same spot and idea to quickly level up a pet...
As a Rit/ranger i couldnt use spirit bond but found with max armor it didnt matter I had 3 monk bonders and symbiosis and in hard mode was able to survive a fair while , as the health was going down i used VwK that one skill was enuf to top me back up to max health against their hits. Also i had life bond on one of the bonders..
When your pet dies your skills will blackout and recharge for 10 secs so its good to use a blocking skill just as the fighting starts such as whirling defense ,i was aggroing all 6 knights so i was using mental block an asuran skill. As they can only hit me 50% of the time and this skill is reset by them automatically.
I used ancestors rage and pain inverter for extra damage.
Pets still gain the xp even when dead so its all good..

Hey Antithesis!
I just wanted to thank you for this great guide!
It worked excellent and now i can enjoy the game with a survivor
thank you!
PS: @about 1,100k xp my char ran out of symbiosis range and had 046hp left. I pressed the 2 on my keyboard at just the right time and was saved. After that no more risky runs until i had my title^^

Shift click the spell, so they dont cast them automaticcly, Then let them manually cast it, itll stay
P.O.

Thanks, for guide, i gonna try to do record soon with my new mesmer.
My plan:
1.Hire 3 friends to help to do Shing's Jea to end.(30-50min)
2.They help to run to Elona and get heroes.
3.I will use lightbringer scrolls and do hard runs.
4.Will take with my calculation i will do record.
I tried to do with para build, but it was hard.(Died on 6th run)
Now.i'm trying to get LS on my dervish using Fronis' Irontoe's lair-dungeon to get it.

ok well im at about 500k xp on my monk at about 6 hrs(first monk died at lvl 19 i went apeshiz and straight for this title lol) and this guide pwns....
firendly reminder IF you are at say 1200 hp out of 1800hp(after a fight or w/e) and you move out of symbiosis you will NOT die you will b at 1hp and w/e regen you have(its like if your a rit and you hold ashes how u lose energy you will still have all ur energy jus not recovered)...so if you do leave dont panic jus wait and dont get hit at all even if it shows 1 hp with 9 regen and you get hit for 1 dmg you will die lol thats how i lost my firs one

I've tried this method in the past, it works great except here are the problems I've ran in to:
1) This is a problem on my end. I have VERY little lag for the most part, but I have lost 2 survivors simply because I lagged while outside of Symbiosis to pull.
2) Occasionally, I will only get EXP for the kill equal to the amount that I would get in a party of 3, although I position my heroes in the same place every time.
I'm a little wary of trying this again, but hey, I don't know.

Lol i tried the easy run and it doesnt work -.-, i had evrythin set up and then i died, so thanks...
masta_yoda
regarding survivor titles, if you die once is your chances of getting survivor over, or do you have to restart again as in gaining xp.
Sos for the question, im a pve nub =/

if you die you can never go for the title again. The title track stops.

First of all: Thanks for this guide.
Now, let me explain how i made it..
- I Used "Adventurer's Insight" scroll instead of the Rampager. Let's also say i was kinda noob and didn't know how to use them correctly :P since they ran out during the second Symbiosis cast: so i chose the Adventurers. They're 450xp instead of 600, but imho they let you do the run with more calm and no rush.
- I also had some fun moments. Apart from the "Kill all in one" runs, which means that pulling the first 3 Knights mob i pulled all six of them xD, i remember a few times i forgot to cast Symbiosis or either i moved a few step out of it. Well, i did cast Prot Spirit and Spirit Bond, without minding that. Ok, the health bar was going down a bit quicker, but i managed to survive. Vital Blessing boosts your hp up to 600 (With 12 Prot Prayers), so i think you shouldn't freak out if by any chance you're out of Symbiosis's range.
- The run was made using Ogden (He is lvl 20, so he can afford more attributes points) as a Mo/N bonder (First he was the Mo/R with Symbiosis) and after 500k ~ i added even Talkhora as a Mo/R with health and energy pips (Although i didn't use Aura of Faith and Blessed Aura, it managed to do the trick), since once i crashed during a battle and survived, and thought it was better not to do the same error again.
I hope these advices can be useful for everyone who will try this run. My last advice is not to rush: the run will take you MUCH Time (I got the title in about three days), but if you do it carefully it will be worth it.
Chocolate_Prayers
thankyou so much for the guide
without it i dont think i would have attempted to go for this title.
i finally got the title on my 6th attempt...
the first 3 were failures because i died on the run.
the 4th, i went out of symbiosis' range and i got healed -- therefore killing me D;
the 5th time i was at around 1,200,000xp and got disconnected, and when i reconnected i was dead
the way i got this title is to do everything according to the guide, up til lv17 and a half
then i did the kaineng city quests to get to lv20, from where on i went to gunnar's hold in eye of the north to do the dwarven boxing.
it goes pretty fast, with slayer's insight scrolls you net about 30k+ exp per run (not including the reward) -- which takes around 10 minutes. using 2 per run, and they pay for themselves with all the loot you collect, id and sell back to the merchant.
the hardest part for the last attempt, was finding a runner to lions arch from ascalon.. took a good 2 hours at least, then there was the issue of trying to not disconnect while leveling
but i can say eventhough it was frustrating remaking the character all those times, i came out of it with a nice title, a few tomes (normal and elite) and a stack load of ales which will go towards the drunkard title

I realize it's a little off-topic but I was wondering if there were any other spots people had seen that worked with this build -- doing this one gets a lot of good drops, but they're mostly the same and if I was just farming, nothing here is particularly profitable (for sale to players, as opposed to merchant).
Torino Cowell
ok guys i'm trying to do this with an assassin .. is it best to take 2 monk heroes or just 1 is ok?
Chocolate_Prayers
personally i use 2 monk heroes, AND melonni for holy veil, purifying veil etc, not for their effects.. just for the extra hp from symbiosis

title is not too broken then, gg =D.

OK, i haven't edited the guide in two months and it's suddenly disappeared. I've contacted an admin to see if the post can be restored. I'm not 100% on that so don't hold your breath.
I do have a copy of the page containing all text and images, but not the bb and guildwiki code. So if worst comes to worst, i'll need to rebuild the post which will take a few days....real life takes priority when it comes to paying bills and putting food on the table.

great work btw

Just skimming through the thread (because the guide is down) led me to a discovery: this run is impossible without prophecies?
So do most of these runs. You always need echants from proph... blargh.
If anyone could direct me to a NF/Factions farming location with only NF/Factions and core skills I'd be much obliged.

first off thanks for this guide. it helped me out alot. but while i was grinding for my title i couldnt help but think there might be a better/safer place to do this maybe even work on another title at the same time eg :sunspear.
so i found this great run just outside the Sunspear Great Hall.(in HM) use the 300g scrolls(5mins every boss), grab the bug blessing and start by killing the first few big groups of Stalking Nephila and then carry on killing up to the boss Hassin Softskin. and then run east to grab the plant blessing and beat up a few Jacarandas and Ibogas around that area and then kill the plant boss Suneh Stormbringer. after that you can mess around untill your xp scroll wears off.
using the same hero bonder builds and same idea of shield of judgement to help give you some time to breath.
this gave me an avarage of 25000xp 420ss points and +1k of loot per run with the ocasional glod drop. and takes just under 15mins a run.
i realise that this is not as much xp as your "hard" run per hour but i found it to be alot safer(the monsters in this area have no scary skills and just do enough damage to set off SB, as long as you have the lowest al possible, so even if you lag you still have some extra time to recast) and also it works on 2titles at once. which was the only reason i did this over the market place runs.
oh and i apologise in advance for my terible spelling and gramma

You can earn 50,000 to 70,000XP in a 15min run by taking out all Jade Brotherhood (extend the hard run to the whole NW island). Pretty easy once you get the hang of it...at least with a Mo/Me or Me/Mo. Had a few hairy moments with my Mesmer, but 99% of it was great fun.
Sunspear Great Hall has been posted a few times in the thread, sounds like a safe option and is likely less boring than rinsing and repeating the first two Jade Knight groups. The thread is more about the build than the location, so the more spots posted, the merrier
I'll be updating the guide when it goes back online to simplify it, add GW:EN skills and to highlight alternative locations that have been posted by other GWG'ers in this and other threads.

Question:
atm I'm lvl9..
Could I just xp farm this with the same builds until I reach lvl20, rather than reaching lvl20 first>?
