just to point out you don't need Ursanway to do this, but good map, easiest way to keep rampage up.

friends and I vanquished this area in ~50mins w/4 heroes and no Ursan using essence and armor iirc and we didn't organize too much once one of us got the seige dev. aggro more QQ

again though, good map and good guide for people who don't know ^^

Would this be doable with an Assassin that can run any build using Sabway & hench?

Well, this thread is here so that "any old noob" can farm Vanguard points - why not use the easiest method?

w00t, nice. Now maybe Asuran is the last reputation title I'll need to worry about maxing.

Edit: What would you say about synergizing this with The Assassin's Revenge, since that adds one more boss to the list, and near the end of the run?

One question: how would you possibly end up with 10k min points and up to 34 I tried to think how this was possible so I counted up all the points max possible, pretending I had each and every favorable condition, such as boss bounty and rampage the whole way. I could only come up with a MAX of around 13k.

Yes and it's pretty easy. Your typical Moebius spammers works well here with Sabway.

And yeah, mentioning that you don't need consumables but advised to take ursan? Lawl.

Thanks Sephir.
I was against Ursan for some time. Then I maxed it on the weekend so I could do these runs after.
I've fallen for the simplicity of it

1.) Any old noob can put together a signature that makes sense. Peace through power, perhaps?

2.) Elitism aside, your disapproval of using Ursan doesn't make it any less effective at farming rep.


Good guide.

Agreed, even with double rep events 34k would be quite a huge score.

That's 3 times as much as what is mentionned on Wiki (which makes more sense to me):

455 would be abou 18 blessings plus shrines (I count 8).

7 bosses with bounty (19 bounties left) : 7 * 200 + 5 * 450 (boss killed past 250 cap) + 375 ( 1 boss past 200 cap) + 300 (ele boss past 150 cap) = 4295 Rep

Then say about 450 monsters to kill and lets be generous and say perma hunt rampage and r4 as soon as you have killed 125 that would get you at about 6000 Rep.

That leaves about 13 blessings:

13 time attakcs: +2600
13 hunt point bonus depends on number of kills achieve under these so hard to make a prediction

Bonus fromvanquishing: 2000+

So basically if I consider the best case scenario I am around 15k Rep

Still pretty damn good but not quite 34K rep...

I think during this event it could be a good idea to remind this guide to all players. I made that run yesterday and i got about 25k rep points. Two more runs and I will be maxed.
