hi guys! i hav been doing SS/LB runs in sulfurous waste.. however my SS points are now maxed (as i hav been vanquishing some areas) and LB is still stuck at 33000... i am wondering are there anywhere worthwhile farming/vanquishing for the remaining LB points? feels like i am only getting half the deal if i just cont farming it at sulfurous waste

thanks for the tips in advance

Maybe outside Gate of Secrets, which was the old LB farm before people discovered Sulfurous?

temple of the monoliths

if maxing LB title is too rough for you i suggest getting out of gw, that's one of the easiest titles there are

You know that you don't have to kill any of the undeaths during the LB farm. Only maybe the group with the rit boss which is right next to the temple. Tho sometimes you can sneak past him

All you have to do is figure out how the groups move and time it right so you don't aggro anything which you don't have to kill. I got 618 LB points every 8 minutes. There are other farms but none of them will give you that many points in that period of time.

Gate of Secrets is still the best place to get Lightbringer. Unfortunately, it takes a halfway decent team to do the run, and GoS is often empty. It isn't easy to Hero/Hench. Sulfurous Wastes isn't the best run, but it's the best run you can easily get a pug group (or h/h) and just do with no time BSing around forming a team.

Gate of Secrets would be best for LB IMO.

Domain of Secrets.

There should be a post somewhere in the Farming forum, about an "alternate LB farm" or something along those lines. Do a forum search and see what pops up.

Or, as the wiki puts it:

This is a great place to farm for Lightbringer points. Simply take the bounty from the shrine outside the Gate of Secrets and go on a Margonite hunt.

farming the LB points in sulfureous waste is still the way to go. Just make sure you have that quest active and have the rune of doom. But you are correct, it is very boring.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...stop asking where to get LB points. The answer to that question can be found at least a billion times on this forum alone...and also on the guild wars wiki

I'd agree that GoS is the best place for you to get ya LB. Hopefully you have some guildies who cud use some LB or dont mind helping ya as it is a fairly tough area. Just one other human player can make it so much quicker. (as you can have no henchies, just you and heroes.)

So why exactly is it hard to keep doing the SS/LB wurm farm?..

Its not like the extra SS points hurt you.

A fun place to get LB while farming other stuff is the hidden city of ashadim near dasha vestibule....metric butt-loads of djinns....beautiful place, too. Also, if u haven't gotten it yet, there is a treasure chest in the cave full of frogs/plants....a fun run that will net you some nice scythes and the occassional fds

If you have a Ranger or Monk, 3-man Foundry of Failed Creations gives lots of LB points, as well as cash.

Few places to farm for LB Points, Best is 3 man Foundry, SS/LB, Outside of Gate of Secerts gives alot LB, Mirror of Lyssa is rofly 250-500lb a run on HM and good place for Rubies from the Djinns Monsters. Last Place if you want to try is Koss Quest in Kodash Bazaar. Their is alot of Margonites to farm there with careful pulling.

Also, how much LB do you get (estimate) from full vanquish?

p.s. just maxed SS and LB on the same run within 2 mins of each other, yay no more worm farm !

Btw if you skip the undead in that run, you make the most efficient LB farm in the game even faster, so you really can't beat it. And with double faction on top of that, why are you here when you could be racking it up !

How come no one ever does 3-man foundry anymore? Couldn't find a single group after 30 minutes of spamming...

And the active quests in some areas.
My estimation is that you end somewhere between rank 5 and 6 when done 'right' and when you have done some LB sidequests.

Ah LB, I went from 2k points to 50k in one day on double points weekend - almost killed me. Haven't farmed that much since D2

My advice is to have some energetic music on in the background and set yourself goals based on time:
e.g. farm for an hour - For some reason when your looking at your watch the farming doesn't seem so bad.

Thank god ill never have to go there again

When doin ss/lb runs last weekend I would keep trying to beat the time I took last time. Kinda helps with the boredom.
