Is there a way for a P/W survivor to kill the level 30 wurms outside Boreal, each wurm in under thirty seconds, to retain my scroll effect? If I must change my secondary, I'd do so but there'd be an added risk in ascending.

Solo kill? Don't know a build. With Heroes and no Henchmen, nearly anything should do. But Farming for survivor on a paragon is a boring waste of time. My paragon was able to get Legendary Survivor by just doing missions and quests *bonus/masters on missions* without having to run back or leave.

But if you want to kill the wurms outside Boreal *and I thought they were lvl 28 not 30*, go ahead, bring heroes with decent builds and you shouldn't have a problem as they can only use normal attacks.

You'd be better off farming wurms outside Umbral Grotto. They don't burrow up and down.

Although I don't think you'll be able to kill them in 30 seconds each.

If you really insist on farming this title then just go box.

They're definitely level 30.

I'll just bring a hero. Only reason I'm doing this is because lag has almost killed me several times in boxing.

Degen, lots of them

Or go ascend and kill them as P/Rt with spirits. Spirits will keep attacking them even if they go under.

Just use the 10 minute scrolls. Or even the 5 minute ones. It may take a few more trips, but you won't be stressing about ZOMG 30 SECONDZ!

Yea...I'd have to agree with Marverick and Zeek Aran boxing is the way to go with survivor lvling. You can get to lvl 20 in about an hour and 30 mins..maybe less including some scrolls. If it gets to much to take just keep your guild roster up and zone to your gh. It doesnt count as a death unless you dont get up within the amount of time.

you can do it with only one hero---mm (/mo) since the minions will keep on beating on the wurms even if the burrow....just kill the polar bear to start things off....and yes a 5 min scroll will get you thru them up to the pinesouls....

Yes there is. My Toon A S L A N HAS the Survivor title lvl 3 by killing the wurms. I also farm them for GOLD as each drop is worth around 100 gold. I can kill Everything within 5 minutes. That is 10 wurms in hard mode or 13 wurms in normal mode.

One note. STAY away from the OAKS they will kill you before you can map out or resign.

You want WAR skills. FIRE is the element that they are most suseptable to. USE FIRE SWORD. My war i made War ele. that way i could increase the damage by being attuned to Fire for 60 seconds. Does Major damage. I would also try some sort of degen like Necro.

It took me about 45 hours to perfect my farming build. War/ele. It might take some time but you CAN NOT DIE, just back up and heal. The most frustrating part is when the wurms go under the ground. There is also a Sequence.

The sequence is:
1) Wurm on the Right on the slant on the hill
2 By pas the wurm on the right as you make your way on the upper path to the send wurm. - not by the tree. Kill it
3 Kill the wurm that you just passed
4 Kill on of the 2 wurms that pop up side by side.
5 run towards the oaks and there will be a wurm that comes up DO NOT got down the hill.
6 the one that you ran by it is on the lower part and leads back the direction that you came.
7 heading back towards the outpost kill ONE of the 2 that pop up.
8 Run to the farthest wurm on the bottom of the 2 paths. It will pop right up. Kill it
9 kill the one in the center of the path
Finally
10) kill the one that is left. Easy to do in less than 5 minutes with the right build.

This is as a WAR/Ele with the right skill set. Very important. I also run with a speed buff to make things go faster. Then I resign or map back.

DO NOT USE HERO'S they take XP

I don't think the OP has the option of changing his secondary since it sounds like he's sitting at 170 attribute points. The best wurm farming build I've used is the rit spirit spammer - painful bond and 4 spirits mows them down pretty fast, even if you're using a rit secondary on a caster with 4 pips. Does it sound too risky to go and get "finish him"? I agree with the fire damage suggestion, wurms only get hit for 22 damage from the 90 piercing damage from EVSS.
