is there a build for an A/N to do this? can't think of anything, and I'm not keen on testing builds on a survivor :P

I don't really see whats so ground breaking about this tbh farming this spot is quite old and getting your survivor to this point is quite a bit harder than most think. It also has the flaw with any of the farming builds to obtain legendary survivor one good lagout and your done.

I used to do this run before the loot-scaling nerf. The only issue with this is the slight chance of death for those going for survivor.

An errant trigger of 10+ traps, a mis-positioning of your rock, back attack from the Giants...might cost you a death.

A nice way to gain quick exp though

BUT with the bonder you won't die in 10 seconds or so. It's definitely one of the fastest way to get your survivor. You don't waste like 30 hours if you die

no need to add me justed wanted to mention it xD
sry ...lootscling still not realized xD
but imo he steels gold drops still..


wiki:

"Shortly after the release of the hard mode, loot scaling has been slightly adjusted by causing tomes, scrolls, dye, rare materials, Domain of Anguish gemstones, gold level rarity items, unique items, and Special Event items to be excluded from the new system."

hrhr..am i right?

I like using ranger secondary on my bonder - stick some points in beast mastery and symbiosis

Description: Create a level 1/8/11 Spirit. For creatures within its range, for each Enchantment on a creature, that creature's maximum health is increased by 27/125/158. This Spirit dies after 30/126/158 seconds.
Energy Cost: 5.
Casting Time: 5 seconds.
Recharge Time: 60 seconds.
Linked Attribute: Beast Mastery. Increases spirit level, duration, and health gained.
Skill Type: Nature Ritual.

With 6 enchants on you can have an extra 750 health and be fully bonded and massive health regen.

Just make sure you cast symbiosis close enough that you get the effect and recast before it runs out.

How would a survivor monk pull this off? do we have to have a running skill? b\c Mo/N have no running skills.

If you're going for Survivor this isn't necessarily the easiest nor best place to do it. No doubt it's a great XP farm, but it's by no means safe to do without risking your title, nor easy to get to without help.

Try the Legendary Survivor Guide...dead easy with any Mo/X and X/Mo. Doable with any class with the right bonders and AL.

Nightfall characters can get there easily once you've completed The Time Is Nigh. Prophecies characters can get a run to Lion's Arch and jump the boat to Kaineng. Factions characters wind up there after completing Shing Jea missions.

And thanks to Witte Was for posting creds to my thread in the op

Really thanks for the compliments, but please don't flame guides from someone else. I like the guide, it's fast, efficient and extremely safe.

I do find it quite offensive how you said their guide was 'worthless'. The time the poster put in it should be thanked, not considered 'worthless'.

You're right, it can be done quicker without bonders, but if you miss your PS cast or get even momentary lag you're toast.

It requires a little more skill and luck than most players possess to confidently make the run 350 times without screwing up once. I'd rather balance efficiency and safety by spending an extra 15 secs per run casting bonds that both protect you and speed up kills so i KNOW i'll survive and get the title in 15 hours

There's a hundred ways to skin a cat...mine is just an easy and safe option for those who want to assume minimum risk of losing their title. It's not infallible, but it's pretty close.

prot spirit, shielding hands, SoA, SS, blessed sig, and 3 enchants. You take no dmg so it doesn't matter your health as long as you keep a prot up.

I don't know if it was discussed in other pages, but for the A/N why not use a summon to trigger traps other than run through them? You have skill slots, why not use them?

and it can be done without the summon

I've updated the Legendary Survivor XP Farm thread for skill point farmers and brave Survivor title hunters.

With X/Mo or Mo/X you can farm 36 Jade Brotherhood in HM within 5 mins for 20700 XP with a Hunter's scroll. That's 248400XP per hour
Gotcha beat Witte...well, call it a tie?!?

It's reliable for at least 200K XP per hour with zoning and selling.

The realistic hourly rate for both runs is about 200K to 240K XP so they're both pretty good for skill point farming.

I'm sure there are better spots out there to be found so i'm not about to enter a pissing contest with Witte...i'm sure i'll come off second best
Regardless, Wajjun Bazaar makes both a decent Survivor spot and XP farm

The gods and a late night conspired against me - i miscalculated the XP per Jade with a Hunter's scroll as 575XP, it's 525XP.

A W/Mo can take 32 Jade in 5mins in a shoddy run for 16800XP - i'm sure it can be improved upon by taking down the Rits faster. Scourge + Mystic Wrath + Insidious on a Mo/N or N/Mo would do the job. Everything else drops quickly.

Definitely not recommended for Survivors - there's a spot where you're often hit by 9-12 Jades at once and can drop from 2000HP to 500HP in the blink of an eye. You literally need to spam Spirit Bond to keep up, and there are mesmers with interrupts! Still, can be done and livens things up

[edit]: I've overhauled the Legendary Survivor Guide to include builds for Mo/X and all X/Mo's as well as easy, moderate and hard runs. It's possible to get the survivor title safely at over 200,000XP per hour by farming the first 20 Jade Brotherhood including the ele boss.

I just thought i'd post to say Good Job to Witte and to Dogma, very inventive and useful. My Assassin is going for the skill hunter titles and i've ran out of Skill Points (I bought every Assassin Skill before tomes came out :|) so i've been using a bonder and the Assassin build to farm these for some Exp. Very handy and fast . Good job guys
