Which 10 titles would you go for?

This is a question cleverly disguised as a poll. But yes. You have 10 titles to max, on a character that has no chance of becoming Legendary Survivor/LDoA. You've got all 3 chapters + the expansion (if you don't, pretend you do >.>) and you want that fluffy Rainbow Phoenix in the Hall of Monuments...

(Looking for the fastest/easiest ones to do, possibly the cheapest, but I can easily farm gold...)

I would (and currently am) going for:

Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer
Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer
Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer
Netting me a Legendary Cartographer
Not Too Shabby
Legendary Delver
Secret Agent
Slayer Of All
Legendary Spearmarshal
Holy Lightbringer

GAAAAAK... how could I have forgotten those last two titles when there's a weekend coming up for them?! /doh

.. job done easily attainable within 4 weeks from no max titles, these also cost you nothing, skill hunter will cost you a fortune whereas doing it this way will make you a fortune! 2 birds with one stone!

This is the quickest and easiest way to lvl 2

I've gone with the skill hunter titles (leaving me very poor), and the protector titles. I'm almost topped out on sunspear, and have started vanquishing Tyria as I do the cartography at the same time. Mapping gives me a headache so I'd rather kill everything at the same time and get more for it

Just use wiki for the guides. You can do most bonuses easy. You might need a guildie to help with Dunes and Eternal though.

My goal is to have 15 maxed titles by 12/31/2008. I currently have 5.

So far it's
Protector of Tyria
Protector of Cantha
Skill Hunter Tyria
Skill Hunter Cantha
Grand Master Cartographer of Cantha

Hmm, can you tell that I haven't done much in NF yet?
Anyways, to get to 10, I'll work on finishing:
the Skill hunter one + 2
Eotn Bounties + 4
That should push me to 11. Next I'll concentrate on
Protector of Elona and the SS/LB titles to make it 14
and I'll probably round it out with another cartographer title.

The protectors are the easiest of the lot.

Skill hunter is fun, quick, although fairly expense, with having to pay for all the cap sigs and skill points. Although, I have to admit, it was fun.

Currently, I have 12 titles, and the Legendary skill hunter was the most fun of the lot.

Protector * 3
Guardian * 3
Skill Hunter * 3
Legendary Skill Hunter
Legendary Guardian
Canthan Vanquisher

Going to max out SS/LB this weekend.

Why does everyone thing that Protector is easy? Even for Tyria there's a bunch of bonuses I can't complete... Divinity Coast, Bloodstone Fen, Dunes of Despair, Thirsty River? I might have gotten it... Ice Caves of Sorrow, Iron Mines of Moladune, Thunderhead Keep, what's the Ring of Fire bonus? and Abbadon's Mouth. I can't imagine myself going and doing Dzagonur Bastion...

They're "easier" in the sense that's it's not just mindless farming. Plus, if you have some good friends/guildmates these can be done easier than soloing with H/H. Although I'm sure some will argue with me on that.

Protector is very easy. Hell I've gotten 3 of the damn things by accident. Hero it...and if that fails, hero + guildy with hero it.

Dzagonur is easy. I know a certain french canadian who is godly at that mission <.< I'm sure you know who I mean. And I'm sure he'll hate me for telling you he is godly at it

Dunes of Despair...I completed that on Hard Mode with hero/hench, mission and bonus, first time, first try. Normal mode should be easy. Of course, if you don't get a good spawn of Scarabs it can be irritating...so maybe it would take a few attempts, I'll give you that one.

Abaddon's Mouth. Clear the path beforehand and it's easy. Ok, so this one is a little long because the ghost walks so slow but it's not *that* bad.

Vizunah Square. One of my favourites

Eternal Grove. 2 humans and 6 heroes...20 mins or so? Not too hard unless The Afflicted Maaka gets lucky which does happen every so often.

Dzagonur Bastion. If it's not hard mode it's not that bad if you're sensible.

Gate of Madness. Kill the Lich > Do Shrines > Kill Shiro. With a tiny bit of preparation in advance he's a pushover, he doesn't even have Meditation of the Reaper.

Bloodstone Fen bonus is a piece of cake IF you don't get a Wammo who thinks "OMGZZZ Teh guardians r killin uz I must kill em for ya"


I'd certainly call them "more fun" than endless face-palmingly boring grinding for reputation points, whether it's killing monsters or filling in Heros Handbooks to be honest.

If that certain French Canadian would help me with Dzagonur, I could easilly scoop up Protector of Elona... but Cantha and Tyria, I don't know.

I recently got pkm, titles I did were 3x prot, canthan guardian (very easy to do, got it in around 4-5 hrs) 3x gmc, ss and lb. Will have 3 more soon as Im working on legendary guardian and very far along. skillhunters are fast if you have money for them.

Fastest would be

3 * Protector
Vanquish + Sunspear + Lightbringer Elona + Cartographer.
That leaves 3 titles. Can be either 2* cartographer. (which gives you the third legendary as bonus).
3 times Eye of the North Grind Rep titles.
3 times Skill Hunter.

My Way to ten titles (hopefully 8 after this weekend)
Legendary Survivor
3* Protector
4*Skill Hunter
Sunspear
Lightbringer
Got the Legendary Survivor by Skill capping Elona + Tyria. Protector * 3. Leaves me this weekend for SS & LB .
Might Do them too on my warrior. She's then 9/10. 2 People Know me's would be pretty sweet

Regardless of it being allowed does this annoy anyone else? It took me an age to map everything, it kind of seems like cheating.
Note** i'm not having a go at devine, im just voicing my thoughts.

back on topic.

surely sunspear, lightbringer, protector, cart and tyrian skill hunter is the easiest.

In hindsight, I wish I had done the cartographry, skill and vanquish at the same time.

This weekend should add l/b and dwarven - then it's on to skill and vanquish (at the same time) Guardian and Wisdom titles.

If your going for Legendary Cartographer you will be mapping alot of areas where the bonus's are held (especially Tyria). So you can work on the protector titles while mapping some of the areas.

When I went for the PKM title, I already had Legendary Spearmarshall, Holy Lightbringer, and Elonian Vanquisher, so I finished up the Protector titles (I only had a few to do) and then did the Elite Skill caps.
The skill caps can cost a lot of money though, so you could go for one of the "kiddie" titles instead (Drunkard or Sweet Tooth).

Btw, I got the Pheonix but, after a while of watching that huge ugly bird wallow around, I dumped it and got a Black Wolf (which I then replaced with a Melandru's Stalker )

It sounds like you almost have Protector of Elona. It would be best to choose titles you would enjoy obtaining the most.

Keep in mind that Legendary track titles give you one free title. In other words, if you earned skillhunter on three continents, you'll get Legendary Skillhunter title for free. Thus, for efficiency purposes, it would be best to obtain two Legendary titles along the way to gain two "free" titles.

Here are some of the possibilities:

Protector of Elona - one mission left for you it seems
Legendary Spearmarshal - about four hours of grind this weekend
Legendary Skillhunter (4) - you'll get some greens in the process, and it is not that expensive if you pick up the loot along the way. Having all elites will allow you to try some crazy builds :P
Legendary Cartographer (4) - explore GW, enjoy the scenery, take screenshots. Textmod can substantially alleviate your task

Actually, I have 3/20 for Elona, all the bonuses I missed are ones that I was too lazy to do. And this is Prophecies character so I haven't done stuff like Jokanur Diggings, etc

I am sorry, I misunderstood you. If you don't want to do protectors, you can try for Lightbringer title and take full advantage of this weekend.

I got the following on my necro:

- 3 Protectors
- 2 Guardians
- 3 skill hunters +1 from maxing the title itself
- Sunspear

Other choices: Cartographers (3), Lightbringer, Rep. points (choose like 2, Norn and Delver are fairly easy to get).
