Sparkfly Swamp
Quest: Frogstomp
You have to kill 3 groups of frog thingies, im not sure if more spawn or what but if they do that would be great for clearing that area out with more frogs to kill for asura points

Umm... what are you getting at here?
Are you suggesting that there be more frog groups for easy point grinding?
Plus, I think people who have not yet been to that area of GWEN would apreciate more explaination than "Frog Thingies I wish there were more for asura points"
Maybe you could explain what you're trying to say a little more clearly?

Yes the frogs are called "Agari" the quest Frogstomp is to elimate 3 groups which I think are 3 extra groups that spawn in that map. So when vaniqushing you get a little more to farm off of at Sparkfly Swamp, outside the outspot of Gadd's Encampent, in Asuran Lands.

Alright, so I guess you're just pointing that out then? (Thanks for a tad more explnataion)
Not really arguing a point, just sharing information?

yeah i guess so, my bad for wrong wording lol, i think ive been playing too much >.<

Actually, I think an even easier place to farm Asura points might be the cave full of Raptor Spawn outside of Rata Sum. There's at least 30 of them if not more, they're all level 15, die quickly, and they're easy to reach. There's a single boss in there (Broodmother) that can be avoided if necessary. Leave Rata Sum, accept bounty, run to cave, slaughter baby Raptors, return to Rata Sum, repeat until nauseous.

Because of the cumulative nature of hunt bonuses in GW:EN it is more efficient to clear an entire area once than repeatedly kill a nearby mob and respawn. You might acquire about 1k points per hour by raiding that raptor nest whereas if you use that hour to 'vanquish' one of the explorables you'll be getting 2-4k points. Use a team build that has enough killing power and doesn't run out of steam and choose your path so that you can both 'chain' the kills (should you get a rampage bonus) and check all the resurrection shrines along the way.

What is the best way to max all of these title tracks ?

Or are you talking about the reputation tracks? If so, start by running through the game, filling a normal quest book. Use the book to raise your Ebon track.
You can farm norn points by repeating the Path to Revelations quest. http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Path_to_Revelations
Asuran points can be gained farming raptors and Broodmother
Dungeons are probably best for Dwarven
Books are probably best for Ebon.

Code: Consider not accepting the reward if you want to farm the zone for Norn reputation points. This bug has been fixed, tested on 8-25-2008. does this mean it won't work anymore? as for the books, how long does it take to full a book? all pages etc

If you've already accepted the quest reward for Path to Revelations, you can't farm the bosses. You'll have to find someone who has the quest active in that case.

However long it takes you to finish the quests to fill your book, that's how long it'll take. Some people can do it considerably faster than others.

Yeah I haven't finished the quest or even accepted the reward. and the quest book, can it only be done once? since the quests are once only right? but the dungeon is unlimited?
Parson Brown
Hmmm, I haven't done the quest since Aug. 25, but in most cases, you can abandon a quest before accepting a reward, then redo the quest. If this is a "bug," then all those SS/LB wurm farmers better take note! Best I can tell without testing it myself is that it is not enough to just rezone, you need to actually abandon and retake the quest.
And, after turning in a book, talk to the NPC again to get a new book. You can then do the missions again and turn in the new book. Keep in ming, that after rank 8, you have to turn in hard-mode books.
Breakfast Mc Rit
Both the storyline quests and dungeon quests are repeatable in EotN. As mentioned, you can get a new book from the NPC you turn the book in to, and at rank 8 you must turn in HM books. Tip: turn in a full book just before you reach rank 8.
Shadowhaze
You can do the quests/books over and over in normal and/or hardmode.
You can get the quests again by talking to the scrying pool in the Hall of Monuments if I remember correctly. ImAgainstIt
ah cool as, thanks alot for all the help
shaygo
ok, so before the last update ( aka the ursan nerf ) it was common to give your book to the asura guy because it was easy to raise your norn title in the popular run. dwarven title is raised easy enough doing dungeons.
what do you think is the best title to raise using the book now, after the update and does it change according to your profession ( warriors give it to norn guy and spellcasters to asura guy ) ? does anyone think that the ebon title is worth raising with a book ? jiggles
ebon sniper support is one of the best skills in the game imo, so yes
zelgadissan
Personally I'd give the books to the Vanguard just because all the other titles can easily be gained doing other relatively simple runs (the Norn run still exists, you just don't see Ursan spammers asking for it), while the Vanguard run takes you through multiple zones and a pretty long walk if I remember correctly.
Assassin Support, Battle Standard of Honor, Battle Standard of Wisdom, Ebon Escape for scammers....so yeah, I think Vanguard is one of the better ones.
dilan155
vanguard is very hard to raise, where as all the other, even asuran, is much easier to raise. so i would go for vanguard
TheDragonmaster
Repeated VQ of Sacnoth Valley is still a LOT quicker for FF than ordinary asura or dwarf grinding (and don't come saying that you get a lot of asura points for raptor farming).
Taixen
If there is a specific armor that you'd like, I would personally say hand it to that allegiance, however - Vanguard does have some of the best PvE skills so if armor isn't a problem then go for that route

if you max your vanguard title don't do it for this reason.
ebon sniper support is fun but it's pretty bad.

Thats a damn good incentive for raising ebon vanguard. How many other skills earn you easy rare items? I agree though, dwarven title is dead easy since you get it automatically from vanquishing dungeons, while asura and norn you have pretty good and fast farms. Charr can also be a pain in the ass to grind through for a h/h group compared to the other areas where you can c-space through. crazybanshee
If you're looking to max all the rep titles, you'll thank yourself for turning them in for ebon vanguard. Everything else is far easier, but maxing the ebon one is a beast.

Sniper support is terrible in anything that doesn't have stupid amounts of charr.

I found it useful H/Hing vloxen HM.
About handbooks, it goes to all of them for me. Cause I get bored farming. I'd leave Dwarf rep last though since dungeons increase it.
shaygo
am i the only one who thinks that asura spells are better than ebon ?
pain inverter is almost as good as SV against bosses and it is not an elite. did anyone try to cast meteor shower with mindbender ? 2 AoE spells spreading conditions, and the summons ! and another thing, what do you think about profession-specific titles ( warriors->norn, spellcasters->asura ) ?
Shasgaliel
I have to say the most boring faction grind was dwarven. How many times can you do snowmans lair over and over and it provides hardly many points (800 I think). With Norn run you get like 6k points if I remember correctly. With Vq Sactnoth Valley 7,5k vanguard. Asuran you can do VQ and raptor farming. Dungeons do not provide high enough values of dwarven reputation. I would go for deldrimor really.

Really? I got most of my points from completing dungeons in both NM and HM. Ah well, different people, different experiences.
I personally donated mine to Vanguard, because everything else was easier - more places to vq for Norn and Asura, dungeons in both HM and NM for dwarven. The really big jump that went to Vanguard was my HM Dungeon Guide - after that I just vanquished during double weekend to finish it up. Asura I earned with a couple of handbooks and vanquishes.

well, kind of hard for me to pick because all the toons I use frequently have max in all the reps. But in general I'd say use books on vanguard or asuran, since delver and norn can be maxed easily elsewhere. (Delver = do dungeons to max the others, or focus farm arachni/shards of orr fendi nin without killing him for infinite delver.) Norn the path to revelations farm never required ursan noobs anyways... you can h/h that run.
For my casters, the pve skills I usually run are ebon assassin, YMLAD, and finish him!. So it's actually vanguard and norn for my casters in most places since those three skills synergize best with an AP nuker. For some other bars like SH nukes I'll run mindbender and ebon honor to buff damage. TBH asuran summons are a waste of a spot compared to vanguard sin which you can resummon as often as it recharges (great with AP since I've had 5 sins at once before.) Pain inverter is also very overrated - why waste a pve slot on a skill which is only good if your team fails? The better you are, the less need for PI... ele bosses for example shouldn't be allowed to cast their AoE in the first place. Techno is still nice though from the asuran line if you want some daze, and the new extend conditions syncs well with it... basically, it's preference. Which skills do you see yourself using the most? Pick that line, max it first. Or go to r8 first since that's so easy to do and with the update pve skills at r8 are still pro. Sacratus Ignis

That + hopefully some vanquishes.
Zidane Ortef
Not to much Maybe Max Vangaurd on Sin, and Para, and maybe Norn on ele for speedclears.
As for points go I will probably be in on some guild Sacnoth VQ. and might try that HNPF where you run the heros there and they do all the work.
Richardt
Well, if i still needed to max Vanguard, I'd go to Sacnoth valley, kill around 200 foes, then kill all the bosses in the fort. Should net you with a hefty chunk of rep.
