hm... i'd say vanguard. either way... they're all easy due to EotN books (which yield 30k rep points within' 5 - 5 1/2 hours of grinding for a fully completed HM book) :-p

yeah vanguard is the easiest. If you get bored of missions head outside Longeye's Ledge. There is ALWAYS a seige devourer there you can use to farm points. It makes it somewhat entertaining. It's marked in this Pic with a white dot.

Since books are the fastest way to farm rep they are all the same. It is arguable if Snowman Farming is easier/faster than books, but it is close enough to be fairly equal. You can get a good 6000 rep/hour from books and no place other than snowman farming comes close to equaling that.

Even with raptors, that isn't that fast.
But yeah, Asura is pretty easy. Vanquishing those wind riders makes good points.

Dwarf is by far the easiest due to dungeons and secret snowman.

So that leaves Vanguard or Norn. Both a very monotonous. I find charr to be smarter build wise then a lot of the stuff in Norn areas (and there is the path of revalations farm), so I think Vanguard is the hardest.

There is no real reason to hoard the books especially since they exclude them from the double points weekends. Those extra ranks will help from both more powerful PvE skills and better titles effects.

If they are normal books just realize that once you go above 80000 you can not use a normal mode book on that title track, However, if you just happen to have 79,999 you can still add that 20k to the total . So make sure that you are careful when you use that last one and don't hoard too many NM books because then you just have to trash them.

As far as I know most of the HM book farming is just doing three missions and turning it in - at least that is what I do and what I've read others doing too. Once you are familiar with the missions they should take about 30 minutes to do three so that gives one 6000 rep and hour. For me a full NM book averages about 6000 rep an hour too so I don't bother with grinding out those three missions until I get all the titles to rank 8 (plus that makes those HM missions MUCH easier).

According to my results, its best to do either 8 or 11.
Code:
Mish            mean time (mins)*	points		points/hour 		
ATFH	    	5			-		-
Nornbear	7			-		-
AotS 		11			3000		7826
AtC  		13			4500		7500
GOLEM		13			6000		7347
BWB		18			9000		8060
Bloodstone	18			12000		8471
Gate Too Far	19			15000		8654
Geomancer	30			18000		8060
Ddepths		35			22500		7988
Warband		40			30000		8612
*Includes travel times. Your times per mish may vary.

HM or NM(edit - should have looked closer at your numbers - obviously HM - if anyone is interested I can post the same for my NM stuff)? I did the same thing for NM and it came out to doing all of the missions as the highest rep/hour. I haven't done the same thing for HM yet (waiting until I find myself at rank 8 in all the titles - I did my NM testing at R5) though I figured it would be different.

I had considered posting a request for such a thing in the farming section but figured it would degenerate into into people looking for fastest missions runs (LOL- *that* mission takes you 10 minutes? Pfft I can do it in 8). Since that isn't exactly helpful and is what similar stuff always degenerated into it I just figured I would do it myself. If that is HM then I will copy it and go from there.

I found the vanguard title hardest to get, I had to use books to get it.

Norn has the faucet quest.
Asura, magus stones
Dwarf, snowman dungeon

Yep vangaurd was the hardest. Thank you ANet for HM dungeon books. I filled out 2. One getting legendary master, and another helping guildies get it. If your patient, and make sure you always have HM books on you, you'll have them all maxed before you even realize it.

Hmm...and here I thought Asura and Vanguard were equal in difficulty.

Aw well, guess I need to get going on Raptor farming.

Book farming makes them all equally easy to grind, but deldimor tends to fill up without needing grind. Vanguard seems to require the most grind.

Blood whashed blood, the last norn mission, can be finished alot faster than 18min.

The trick is to start from longeye's, and run all that zone (no fighting at all since the monsters are really far appart).
So youget to the bear shine to get the mission in about 3-4min. Then if you though of taking Ursan Blessing as your elite, you also can bypass taking the shine in the mission, and go directly killing chaars.
A run can be finished in a little as 9-10min.
