If you 2 would read closely, he's asking for a nice running spot AFTER he finishes Treasure Hunter to complete Lucky as well, since you'll have a 90+% retention rate if you go to a lower area, while still getting lucky points.

Yeah he definitely means lowest level chests purely for lucky points. Any of the noob islands or old ascalon areas should be easy to run. I can't think of any that would have an abundance of chests or be particularly quicker. I reckon plains of Jarin, since it is the most open.

Any profession can be a decent runner with EotN and high dwarf and norn ranks. Chug a spiked eggnog, dwarven stability + drunken master = 3 minutes of +33% speed. I am unstoppable = extra armor and no KD or cripple. Then you just need shadow form or spell breaker for if one is buried amongst spellcasters.

People already told you it is 600.

What is more funny is the part that you totally did not get that Daluderant's point was raising the lucky title...

hush I blame 4 hours sleep & not reading it quit well ^^.

Lucky with boardwalk will prob be there again with Canthan New Year

Edit*

Btw if your going for rank 6 from scratch it would be advisable to do Skill Hunter & Survivor at the same time. I capped most skills in Elona & Tyria to get my survivor and skill hunter titles. Having Legendary Survivor is a great bonus because that leaves you only with 1 of the Nasty Titles (Kurzick, Luxon, Treasure Hunter, Wisdom, Lucky, Unlucky)

Drunkard being not-nasty?

After I finish vanquishing and the 5 eotn, I should be at 28

Guess that leaves kurzick which finances drunkard T_T Looking forward to it

Could someone confirm that Lucky counts. I keep reading when you reach the 2.5 million that it still goes up and that no one is sure if there's going to be another level.

Why wouldnt it? A maxed title IS a maxed title after all.

Well it helps to know what types of titles would work in a logical order.. Of course it might be better to do the reputation titles after LB/SS titles so you can do Ursanway DoA in order to fund some of your other titles when the money runs out..

I also think it'd be nearly impossible to retain interest in this game after doing Savior of the Kurzicks, but it is a main money maker...

This all the titles in the game?

I adjusted your post ever so slightly.... I'm female

Nice guide and that'll be me then and thank you

Titles Maxed: Sunspear, Lightbringer, Wisdom, Treasure, Sweet, Drunk, Guardians, Vanquishing ,Skills, Cartographys, Protectors, Reputations & Master of the North

My title was achieved by lots of play with short jolts of intesnse play as a title neared it max. With the exception of Treasure which i did actively go for...insane? Looking likely isnt it ;-)
Treasure hunter, was, of all of them, THE most mind numbing title to get. If ever there was a Title thatt really should be account wide its that one, not because of expense, and it IS expensive, but because of the complete emptiness of head required to achieve it. Just my view on that one.

Wisdom was one that surprised me...it worked out cheaper than I expected, but as another poster pointed out, price of UnID's should be as low as poss to reduce losses. Prices have dropped for mods significantly recently so altho not as profitable as it used to be, I wager that at the very least you should break close to even. And dont forget, once tis one is done, YOURE the one making the 4-5k per 7 items. These usually go to Guildies that are also hunting or just want to bump their current level.

To my knowledge the max Lucky DOES add to you KoaBD track as it IS the Max. Its the UNLUCKY one thats the REAL nasty (and near damn impossible) one to get.

For those of you that like numbers...
I have played this character (A Necromancer) for 12,076 hours.


EDIT: I have so far talked to another 4 Gods in game and know of another 3 via Forums... we should have a Gathering...

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.
While I agree that runs for maxed titles would not be the way I want to earn gwamm, titles are pretty meaningless to all except those who earn them.

I do however see a difference in using a visual aid to find the last few nooks that you're missing, I'm at 91.2% and am having a VERY hard time finding that other 8.8%. It's not cheating in my mind, so devalue my title if you want, it's meant for me and not for you anyway.

Anyone getting titles to show off their 1337ness is just wasting their time.

creating new char --> god shouldn't take more then 1500 hours of PURE 30 titles hunting. love ppl playing the same char for 10k+ hours but that's not the amount needed to achieve the 30+ titles in any way or form.
and ye at 2.500.000 points lucky counts as +1 in the kobd track, aswell as unlucky at 500.000 points

i don't realy see the point of this guide because anyone seriously going for 30 maxed already knows that he has to complete the 27 regular gameplay titles and choose 3 out of the 8 bad ones (or 4 if survivor/ldoa are left behind).
good luck tho



i can write u a guide to achieve 35 maxed titles :
"max them all"
cool guide isn't it?

I've known which titles I'll finish for a while. Knowing that lucky counts is pretty cool though. Mind you I would have just maxed out wisdom otherwise. I might still do that too.

Hi Guys

Quick question regarding textmod, I tried it out for the maps and what have you, but today when I scanned my computer It told me that Textmod.exe was a TR/Agent.597287 *Trojan* but I scanned it when I got it and I have done loads of times since then but it's just today that it happened.

could it be a false positive?

Any information regarding the specifics of the Tr/agent would also help

_June

P.s I downloaded it from the Wiki link in the OP

Just notice this thread about the scouting one.

Guardian *7
Skillhuter *4
Vanquisher *4
Cartographer *4
SS+LB *2
Eye of the North *5
Drunkard + Sweeth Tooth *2

That are the 28 normal Titles. 29 would be either Survivor or Ldoa.
If these aren't there your are stuck with 2 times the crappy titles.
Which are:

Lucky/ Unlucky, Wisdom, Treasure hunter, Luxon or Kurzick. You could try & go for rank 15 too

Hmm got 10 maxed atm, aiming for 20 at least before GW2. Playing a long time but started with title hunting not a long time ago.

Got:
SS/LB (2)
Guardian titles (5)
Skill Hunter (2)
Sweeth Tooth (1)

Almost got:
Skill hunter (+2)
guardian (+2)
cartographer (+1)

So i can have 15 maxed titles in less than 2 weeks imo... but then i need 5 other titles which i dont know yet..

Not having a lot of time for the other EotN grinding titles, but with those, i can easily make it I think....

Maybe some of us already earned our money and do this to take our minds off of Real Life. Thanks for taking the time to make a fool of yourself in front of the kids though. That's priceless.

As much as I appreciate the time to write the guide, I have to agree with Drop of Fear. Who is the target audience of this? The people who just started the game or 'veterans'? Anyone attempting this shouldn't need a guide to do it.

Oh, please write it! Should be as useful as UB guide. Oh wait, someone actually wrote that.

This is 110% speculation (yes, it is supposed to be over 100% ), but it looks like you missed the point of the OP which was to show people (likely vetrans) how to get the most synergy from title farming (get SotK, use money from HFF for sweets, etc.). Granted, it could use a little tweaking (ie. vanq and map at same time, or at least map after vanq, maybe even cap while vanqing and mapping), but the idea is good. No need to flame him because you didn't see the purpose.

The veterans should already know this. If they don't I don't really see the point of calling them veterans.

Fear’s comment that people most likely know what title there going to work on is true but having some pointers is also kind of nice. I just reread the treasure hunter section. Man I was going nuts last night doing the snow man cave for my treasure hunter. I know I can afford the title if I do it there but it’s close to 2 mins per chest there. If skip the end chest I can skip 1 min every run. Most runs have 5 chests some only have 4. I’m rank 5 treasure and lucky so I’m retaining “65%” of the time. I’ve found that I can replace 2 out of 3 picks I break there. But man it’s slow.

Think pointing people to this thread should be a must in the threasure hunter section.
