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).

True, the tourney gives more experience, but one bad lag spike and your dead -.-"

I plan on doing the FFF anyways, as the kurz faction will later help towards SotK.

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.

Sure, it would be a good idea to list estimate amount of time needed for maxing particular titles so it became clear for everyone.

It doesnt matter who wrote this guide, its well written, but still need some more information so that this doesnt look maxing 30 titles is easy as a pie

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.

And this is why you are a pre-sear cadet >.>

Treasure hunter title chests only count if they are above 650gp for keys .
