I found that there are many ways to farm golds, items, faction point, but no Norn, Ebon reputation point farming, is that possible to farm those point?
I got the Ursan Blessing yesterday and I want to try the "God Mode", but I'm just Norn Rank 2, Ursan Blessing didn't do much damage...

P.S. I HATE THOSE TITLE TRACK -_- WASTE MY TIME, HOPE THOSE TRACK WILL NOT APPEAR IN GW2

Quest books, dungeon books, etc.
Also do farming runs at olafstead. They're pretty straight forward if you can find a good group.

Get the quest "Path to revelations" go rampage from Olafstead till you get hunt rampage and killed 250 mobs. then go to the forest and kill the cyphers. You can earn between 6k-8k points with it.

What does UB have to do anything with a god mode? And since you have such a low norn title, you might be better off doing the dungeon/hero handbooks since most groups want r8+ ursans.

Just do HM books.. You can complete one within 3 hours = 60k points. So its only 9 hrs per title.

And if you manage to fill a HM Master Dungeon Guide in just 3 hours, please elaborate on how exactly you manage to do that

I found that my Master Dungeon Guide is empty
And it's too far to get "Path to revelations"

Seems I need to work hard on the main quests first
Thanks for the advice everyone, thanks

How exactly can u fill a HM Hero's Hanbook within 3 hours?! Sounds crazy to me, but I'm truly interested in this.

Doing norn point runs from olafsted only requires one person in the party to have "Path to Revelations". Though runs from viox falls or rata sum to tarnished are fairly easy to find. Unfortunately if you aren't a min of r6 don't bother trying to find norn point group, and if you haven't unlocked HM, do that first.

HM hero hb's are only necessary to get from r8-r10 and can take 3-6hrs b/c H/H teams often aren't sufficient to do some of the quests in a timely manner resulting in time consuming pug hunting. NM books only net 10k less rep points and it is very possible to roll one out in 2-2 1/2 hrs using only H/H teams and of course buying the 1k run of ATFH at the end which takes 5 min .

I hate dungeons. I do them for the loot and only the loot. Except for the snowman cave HM(excellent dwarf point farm), in the time it takes to do one HM dungeon you can have more than half a NM book completed.

Please tell how this is possible. Often it would take more time just running though and not doing any fighting. I don't see how this is possible???

But, yes. Filling out the handbooks is the good way to get those norn rep points.

actually it does affect the damage too at r2 you are hitting at 75 w/ ursan rage and 47(twice) w/ ursan strike. At r10 it's 135 and 75 respectively.

Thanks for your answers Damian, and forgive my ignorance. The problem of HM is that it's really hard, at least to me, to find good pugs (i.e. noob-free pugs). Sabway doesn't work that great too, but maybe it's just me.

Once you complete eotn w/ all the annoying side quests (like tracking the nornbear and a little help) you only have to do 3 main quests for each allegiance and then only Destruction Depths and A Time for Heroes to complete the book.

Against the Charr(vanguard helmet outside Longeye's), Warband of Brothers(Doomlore), Assault the Stronghold(outside Doomlore)

Curse of the Nornbear(Silfhala), A Gate Too Far(olafsted), Blood Washes Blood(Jaga Moraine, leave from Silfhala)

Finding The Bloodstone(outside Gadd's), The Elusive Golemancer(Blimm in Magus Stones), G.O.L.E.M. (mamp in Rata Sum).

Destruction Depths(Batteldepths from Jalis), ATFH (a Mo/Me and 1k in Central Transfer Chamber).

Most of these are fairly easy to roll through with a well balanced NPC team. Elusive and GOLEM can be tricky b/c AI can be pretty dumb in the fire dart room of oola's lab, and team splitting in GOLEM requires making 2 solid mini teams that can work independently.

However if someone in your guild has a perma sf sin and they want to help, they can hold the right side of GOLEM solo(also the toughest side), allowing the remaining 7 members to easily hold the left until the kiln's are heated.

actually its been proven that the olafstead runs are a lot slower... I tried and i got from 2-3 after 2 hours.... not worth it IMHO, you should stick with pt farming...via handbook

Amagawd peoplez still whine about gwen rep title grinding I can believe not. :P Srsly it takes no more than 10 hours max to get ur r10...not only Ursan, anything, Deld, Ebon, Asura, so stop whining about it especially Norn and Deld they dont even need book filling, meh, even book filling takes 2-3 hours per book on Hard Mode. :P And srsly if you cant do Hard Mode without Ursan u doing somethin terribly wrong, yeah. /rant *evulface*
