Don't believe me, then Im sure "Guides" will post a screenshot of his title.

this is not a Guide at all and shouldnt be considered as such.

Now why would you think that this person doesn't have R6 max title?
And why would you want proof? Who cares? Its a good guide and it works fine, the point is not wheter or not this person really has R6, its a guide for people to use.

Interesting thread to read through. First some background on my progress and what I was thinking of doing:

Titles 1-7: Prot/Guardian DONE
Titles 8-11: Carto DONE
Titles 12-15: Skill Hunter DONE
Titles 16-17: LB/SS DONE
Titles 18-21: GW:EN Reputations DONE
Titles 22-25: Vanquishing
Titles 26-27: Sweets/Drunkard
Title 28: Master of North
Title 29: Treasure Hunter
Title 30: Luxon or Wisdom.

That's not the order I did things and such, just wrote as list and I mostly remembered. The main issue is with last one, whether to go Luxon or Wisdom. I'm not really worried about getting it done ASAP, and will honestly be surprised if I finish by GW2,

. Overall, I'd still like to try.

Reasoning to try to do Luxon is that it wont cost money. I currently think to run chests, and sell the unid golds to help with cost of lockpicks. I'm not the luckiest person in the world as it comes to drops and mods, so I thought it'd be the better route to go honestly. But from what you guys are talking about, you seem to think Wisdom title is basically a wash as you get golds from Treasure Hunter. As you can see, most of this is all curved due to costs. Lockpicks are rather expensive over the long run of the title, so that's where all this reasoning comes from.

Going with Wisdom would be the easier route with Treasure Hunter...as Luxon title would obviously take LONG LONG time. Just again, cost issue I think, atleast. Running the NM chests in either Snowman or Witman's will not yield many golds, and not all mods can be retrieved in the cast of Witman's.

Also had thought that maybe running area in NF or GW:EN in HM will yield more golds, can take all mods if i do ID for Wisdom, but retention rate will be lower of course.

Some of you seem very adamant about Wisdom title being much of a wash, and would make it loads simpler. Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated, as far as where I should run chests to go along with Wisdom title, whether NM or HM, etc based on what I've stated. Thanks, and nice guide/thread!!

Well this what I've got done.

1 x Master of The North
4 x Cartographer
4 x Skill Hunter
6 x Lightbringer/SS/Reputation
7 x Guardian
2 x Sweet touth & Drunkard.
1 x Vanq
__
25

So I've got 3 more vanq. ( pretty easy stuff )

I'm rank 5 in wisdom, lucky and treasure.
And rank 7 in Zurzick.

I'll finish my Vanq ( using all profits for pixs ) So that's going to make 28. 2 more.

I've done most of the math on what I still need to do. The fastest way for me to finish the last 2 would be treasure hunter and lucky. The Zurzick title comments were some good food for thought but the time required is far greater. Note for people work on Zurzick title. I use to farm chests at the same time.

So figure I'll be vanquashing and chest farming for a while. Here's my math on it.

Figure got 2200 more chest at 65% Retain 1430 - Break 770
then the last 5000 at 68% - Retain 3400 - Break 1600

So total 4830 Break 2370. I've already got 1100 pixs saved up too. So I could be in good shape. Actually I'm finding I'm break close to even on the snowman cave. Going to take a long time but get 2.5k every 2 runs, which helps pay for the pixs.

So 4830 * 250 (luck points) = 1207500 + 1018000 --> 2225500. So I'll be short 274500 points. So one 9 ring event weekend might do it.

Note I find as soon as I really start just farming chest, my gold ratio from chests drops next to zero. Hense I don't think I could make much money selling golds.

I've been chest running in the snow man cave. Maybe I should mix it up but we'll see.

Number of runs required:
(10,000,000 faction needed/400 faction per run)/(2) <-Since donating 10k
=12,500 runs needed faction counts as 20k for title
(12,500 runs needed)*(350 gold per run)=4,375,000

4,375,000 is nowhere near 5,000,000 onless you got some pretty generous tips in there.

Oh right I forgot to inclue the fact that I temporarily in a guild that payed 1k for every 5k faction I donated for an extra 1 mil

Oh and 75k...you must have been really unlucky

Good guide, needs some refining some what, but otherwise good.

Also could I recommend you add a Friend of the Luxons ALT guide section, not everyone is in a Kurzick guide... me included.

Once you install Texmod, (making sure its in package mode) open it and click on the big folder. Find your Guild Wars program (probably a GW with a helmet symbol, usually under your C drive in program files under Guild Wars folder) Then click the smaller folder above the red X, and select the files you want to use (elona made easy, cantha made easy, etc.) Now click run and when you open your map you will see all the areas you haven’t explored in light brown or light blue in Tyria/Gwen case. From here its easy, just use a running build and a good team and run around every continent clearing all the brown and blue. Quite simple.\

can i after do expo tittle , turn back to normal mode ?

I mean I see that he's maxed it... He doesn't say that it actually counted toward his koabd title track though. I certainly hope they've hope to keep it as a max.

Quote from post.
I myself edited the article to state that Blessed by Fate is the max tier after I achieved it myself. This is not to say that there are no future tiers higher than rank 6 in the plans (I certainly hope not), but Blessed by Fate is certainly the highest tier available at this moment. Here is some visual proof for your edification:

I dont really find 75k unlucky.
to max out SS/LB it takes about 75 runs
wich is 1k per run

Now if you were to get 200k from that.. you would need 2.7k per run
thats extremely lucky

In my opinion you should edit it to 75-150k

You get money as a reward after you finish the quest. Its on you what you do with the gained faction. But when you turn unspent faction in form of Alliance reputation or Skills you get the 2x of the points into K./L. title.

I have to agree here, after doing lb/ss, i got around 70-100k, you should probably change the amount you put.

You donate faction in 5k chunks to a kurzick ambassador (can be in gh if you are kurzick alliance) each 5k you donate gives 10k to your title.

OK So how do you go from Marketplace > Lutgardis? Are there no blocked off areas? Or do you mean to just play through the game?

You have to do the missions in the way, vizunah square, nahpui quarter, arborstone and maybe a few others. Then once you befriend the kurzicks and get to hzh you can get to lutgardis.

Note that you do not need to do Sunjiang District. Once you get to Maatu Keep run to Altrum Ruins and get a friend to ferry you to House Zu Heltzer. (Using the quest Journey to House zu Heltzer). You can complete Befriending the Kurzicks on another character also.

I'd recommend gwen Kilroy Stonekin Punchout tourney farm instead of FFF, as it's easier faster and arguably more profitable. (My 2 elite W tomes covered cost of scrolls and some, ignoring the various purps/golds dropped).

So, what would be the best professions to do this? By best I mean easiest particularly for the cartographer part.

I already have E and Mo. For this, I'm thinking R or W. Something that is generally "accepted" for high end PvE farming (Not every group is dieing for a Mobius assassin).

Ummm I think that if you vanquish while you vanq, it doesnt really matter what profession you use.....if you are just going to run it, maybe a ranger or a warrior like you said to keep the mobs off of ya

Wow--- gotta say way to lessen the value of titles here - textmode? - why not actually map the areas - paying people to play the game for you? Anet should cash in and sell the titles themselves I guess.

I took most of this year off playing GW. I needed a break. I Started playing again about a month and 1/2 ago - I have to say things sure did change. Cartographer was a very impressive title at the begining of 2007.

Hardcore pixel-hunting should never have been the "challenge" in Cartography anyhow. Simply getting to every part of every zone should be. Hardcore pixel-hunting is not a skill and not any reason to be impressed with someone.

On another note, it's a good guide but I think it's funny because the tone of the guide makes it sound like it's simple and easy to get God Walking just by following the guide; without making it clear to readers that to get that title is going to take a ludicrous amount of time to the tune of hundreds/thousands of hours invested, even if the guide is followed perfectly.

IMHO The "challenge" was finding every part of a zone. I agree that it isn't a skill but it showed patience on the part of the player which was impressive.

There is no doubt the God Walking Title is impressive and takes time, however some strategies in the guide IMHO devalue some of the titles being maxed.

Perhaps this doesn't matter to some people

Got 100% of tyria and cantha on my old war the "legit way"

remade for LS, got elona the "legit way", installed textmod and got tyria and cantha over with.. Once was enough, besides it's all the players choice, want to work for LS -> play the game, don't feel like it? farm it in 10 hours..

Who cares, it's a game, play it the way it's fun for you

Sure, but this will become clear for everyone after hitting 1st, 2nd rank of some titles (like Treasure, Wisdom, Faction ... and so on). Everyone can choose what title will he/she max, which can change the amount of time needed for completing the particular goal (or goals). Of course when aiming for the maxed GWAMM you dont have much room for choosing many ways...

Yes that is true, they will eventually realize God Walking is probably not viable. But what I think may happen is some newer players may read the guide and think, "Hey, that sounds pretty simple, I can just follow this guide and get God Walking!" only to have their hopes dashed later when they realize they will never be able to invest enough time to make it happen. And that realization comes after they've already invested a ton of time. Or even if they do have enough time, they may still be unwilling to invest enough time to make it happen, as some of the things required to do in the guide over and over again for hundreds/thousands of hours is mind-numbingly boring. I think the original post should put the estimated time - in hours - to complete each of the titles listed. As well as a total time investment required for "God Walking". In the interest of "full disclosure" kind of thing. Then newer players who after reading the guide, still don't understand the ludicrous thousands of hours of time investment required for God Walking, would be able to make an informed decision right off the bat before they start going for it. I'm guessing that by the very high number of thread views this thread has so far, that lucrious required time investment is something that is not apparent to many of the thread viewers without those timeframes being listed.

It doesnt really matter which proffession you choose, but you can benefit from some like having a runnable pr. for treasure hunter, also it can help you getting into a pug easier ... I would suggest using the one you like at most, because you will have to spend a lot of time playing it

Was wondering if any of you knew a zone with decently quick or easy 80g chest? Sure it may be lots of runs after Treasure Hunter to finish off Lucky, but might be cheaper, and as I stated, I'm not completely worried about the time issue.
