If you had 6 account-wide titles (kurz/lux, chest/wisdom, lucky/unlucky) on your account maxed and you decided to start a brand new character to get GWAMM with, which titles would u skip over maxing out?

personally, i would avoid:

Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, Party Animal, Legendary Master of the North, Ebon Vanguard, and Asura.

Instead of skipping the Asura title, I'd skip the Deldrimore title. The Asura title's easy to get by leeching onto raptor farmers. (The one place where leeches are welcome!)

If i had the money then i wouldn't skip the drunkard sweet tooth party animal etc, i dunno it would probably just be whats on my mind and have left. It may be considered a fair amount of grind but i would deffently still go thru EOTN and complete legendary master which basically gets u ebon vanguard, asura, norn, deldrimer in process.
i hope this isnt a cleverly disguised "What title are too much grind/ needed to be account based" thread

I skipped everything but the ones that gave pve skill advantages and wisdom and treasure hunter. The rest are grind and a waste of time. At least I enjoyed the play time getting those others as l love to open chests and getting things out of equipment without them breaking.

Drunkard by far. keeping a toon drunk without an icon or with the effects on is annoying.

Yeah. This. I'd sacrifice the cartography titles, because you have to hug walls for them, and some bits can be really, really annoying. You can, however, get Legendary Master of the North without completely cartographing the area. You can't get Legendary Cartographer without 100% each. I know it's four titles' worth, but if you need just one cartog to hit GWAMM? I'd take Elona, which is faster and less annoying than Tyria (which is huge) and Cantha (which needs crazy amounts of scraping the map). And doing one is definitely less annoying than doing all three.

You can cartog while vanquishing, I guess, but honestly... after running into one too many pop-ups I more or less gave up that notion. Bad enough I have to play hunt-the-dot: I don't want the red dots to multiply!

drunkard, sweet, party. if i was low on funds id skip elite skill capping, i kinda enjoyed that one. + asura and deldrimor id do, really easy, snowman cave x 30 odd times is like 90k towards deldrimor title and most of my runs were 12-14 minutes per, and asura magnus stones vanq ftw.

You can do Vanguard (and Deldrimor) by doing CoF runs. Make money and max titles.

All reputation titles are worth getting for skill buffs.
I'd skip skill caps since it requires both money and quite a bit of time,since u cant skip both vanquisher/cartographer you can just do both at the same time.
Party/drunkard are pretty useless and very costy,i'd skip those too.
Sweet is fine since its always fun to get those buffs lol

The quest you take to go into CoF gives you Vanguard points to complete it. You still gain Deldrimor points for the kills.

Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, Party Animal. LMotN if I have to, but I'll probably end up getting it anyway in doing the other rep titles. Nothing else is so boring or tough that I would see fit to skip it.

Going to add my 2c that these 3 titles are very expensive and annoying, I would recommend skipping as well. The rest have benefits (and an earlier post is right, do vanquish + explore at the same time)

Depends on profession. If it can run easily through mods *like with perma sf* then this:

1) Drunkard
2) Tyrian Vanquisher
3) Legendary Vanquisher
4) Canthan Vanquisher
5) Elonian Vanquisher
6) Sweet Tooth
7) Party Animal

If it cannot run easily through mods *i.e., do Cartography easily*:

1) Drunkard
2) Tyrian Cartographer
3) Legendary Cartographer
4) Canthan Cartographer
5) Elonian Cartographer
6) Sweet Tooth
7) Party Animal

I say 7 because I would max out Zaishen before working on Sweet Tooth/Party Animal/Drunkard a second time

Titles ? What are those ? I only have 7 titles maxed only because of helping my guildies. Though I would recommend skipping the explore titles because those are the hardest ones to get and they are very time consuming not to mention boring.

not hard with texmod, but definitely very time consuming, mind you if you do it with vanquisher then - yes each vanquish would take longer, but overall you would save time.

Sorry to disappoint, but if you want GWAMM, you'll find most of them time consuming. The Legendary Guardian title track's the fastest IMO though, and I'm actually sort of fond of it because it's less grindy and more varied than the others.

I would not ever do it, because I'm not gonna ever do Guardian or Legendary Master or Cartog again. Since I'm going for GWAMM without those first 2 ( I already got cartog on the guy I"m going for) I'm basically doing the other PvE titles you can max + the account wide ones.

People are too focused on the end result than the actual doing of the title. It seems that exploration title isnt that popular but I actually had a lot of fun exploring a lot of places.

The only title I would skip is Legendary Defender of Ascalon. I am not a fan of drunkard either but whatever.

All of them. Even if there may be one or two good ideas, most titles are a way to convince the feeble minded that doing inane things they would never normally do is content.

"Go wall hug every instance of the game! Go do Factions 80 times through on hard mode! Go click on alchohol items for seven days nonstop. It's content!" Well, if it is, it's incredibly lame content, and it is time we stop accepting it. Playing the game should be rewarding on its own, letting whats FUN become the standard thing to do.

I dunno. The 3 consumables titles for sure. Other than that most of the titles you'd need have good synchronization with each other. I suppose I'd skip the 3 consumables and LMotN just so I didn't feel *obligated* to do all of the dungeons and quests in NM and HM again. I'd probably end up with r5 in it just because I'd do most of the stuff over voluntarily, but not enough for max.

Maybe for my last 2 I'd skip Legendary Cartographer and Tyrian Cartographer. But if I'm going to be Vanquishing I might as well do those alongside.

I gave up on sweet tooth and drunkard titles. Those 2 titles are so boring to max!

i would skip the dwarven title, the drunkard title (even though i have r1) cause it is too time consuming and boring. I would also skip some of the PVP titles like gladiator and the hero title for doing HA

All of them except the ones that give me in-game bonuses, like eotn, ss/lb. Only need one character with titles for HOM and GW2.

Cartographer really isn't that bad, especially with texmod. If it wasn't for the OP saying "don't count these titles" I'd say all those account wide ones (wisdom, treasure, and kurzick/luxon) are all WAY worse then cartographer in terms of time.

I havent done carto yet and don't plan on it. I'd rather JQ/FA/AB 100x million times for kurz/lux then map <.< Vanquishing wasn't that bad, was fun doing with a friend, so I'd prolly do it again. Getting guardian of cantha and half of elona was easyish...but I wouldn't do it again. Bearing in mind I still don't have guardian of tyria ><

Skip all of them except for EotN rep and SS/LB.
Why would I repeat extremelly boring titles that give no benefits?
