GWAMM Spike

Hey, i looked around the forum, couldn't really find a thread that matched this, if there is one, drop a link and feel free to close this.

Well, me and a friend are aiming to max GWAMM in the summer, and were just wondering what titles we can use to spike it at once.

So far ive come up with:

GWAMM
Sweet Tooth
Drunkard
Party Animal
Skill Hunter

Perhaps Kurzick/Luxon, if you have an past experience with this feel free to drop a note here, any advice is welcome aswell.

-Will

you could do cartography, vanquishing, skill capping all at once.

Cartography(hard but possible)
Vanquishing
Skill Capping
Drunkard
Sweet Tooth
Party Animal
Then GWAMM

yeah when and when you cap skills, then bring more than one signet of capture.. ;D

I was specifically meaning ones that will on others screns (Legendary,,). So i was most likely going to use an elite tome in my GH, then using my consumables, then donating 5k faction.

I was thinking about vanquisher, perhaps a small 1/2 man quest area?

I managed it with Sweettooth, Drunkard, Party Animal, and Kurzick (I already had Skill Hunter, or would have done that one, too)

For a little build up to the climax, you could also fill out 4 HM EotN Books and turn them in to max out each of the Rep titles one right after the other just before hitting those last four or five.

EDIT: I finished off the GWAMM thing in Kaineng Center (used a book to top off Kurzick) for the benefit of seeing the announcement. And if you're thinking of a quick vanquish, nothing's faster than Bukdek Byway with the quests "Chasing Zenmai" and "Drunken Master" active - just follow the DM quest marker, kill the guy & enjoy!

Thanks alot Kook, a side note on EoTN titles, i wonder if i will be able to spike them all in such a quick succession? Also, do EoTN Titles (Slayer/Vanguard) Appear at the bottom of the screen?

So far i have thought of 5 definite ones, others are possibilities, but involve a bit of zoning around which could slow down the spike.

I saw a guy spike GWAMM a week ago with:

Sweet Tooth
Drunkard
Party Animal
Savior of the Kurzicks
GWAMM

Thinking of doing the same if I ever get that far.

Hey c'mon lets stay nice here.

If you wanted to do a title spike go for:

Vanquish , Drunkard (Wait 1 or 3 Mins) , Sweet Tooth , Party -> Zone and Use Elite Tome.

Or save some faction on your Kurzick/Luxon title and pop that in your guildhall.

all of the eotn rep titles, jus farm a bunch of hm hero's handbooks, and then turn them all in at once.
thats +4 titles all at once

though this will require a bit of map travelling

kurz/lux/ss/lb r all spike maxable via hoarding books as well

wisdom as well

Well you could do Aurgory Rock for legendary guardain,map to KC run and do 1 kill vanq in bukdek byway for legendary vanq map to hall use skill tome for Legendary Skill hunter,sweet,party,drunk,kurz/lux. Thats a 9 title spike withing minutes and you could even plan further and save a spot in bukdek when you vanq that last area and get legenday cart for 2 more and make it 11 in a few minutes. Go further and do wisdom in hall for 1 more so maybe 12? But planning like this takes a looong time. but its nice to go from 20 titles to 30 in minutes

Yeh i guess so, unfortunately ive already got Legendary Guardian and some of the EoTN Reputation Titles. I'll have to be prepared to have some quick zones, what i don't want to do is mess up in between zoning and then messing up the spike.

guardian can be part too - some mission take minute to complete.

also, wisdom title is easy. chestrun take about minute too. SS/LB would be hard, but possible (too easy to max by doing hm), just by turning in quest with point reward.


all in all, you can max 20 titles under 15 minutes with spike easily being 10 titles in span of few seconds.

Yeh, currently done SS/LB, Legendary Guardian, and some others.

I guess, wisdom and treasure hunter titles are also possible, luxon and kurzick could be available, but would require some book hand-ins and guild-switching.

Whats GWAMM?

If you have the time you can max Kurzick and Luxon at the same time by getting both titles to within 30k of completion then handing in 2 partial Shiro books at Kaineng Centre, one to each collector.

I did that yesterday along with Drunkard and Sweet Tooth to get GWAMM. With a bit of forward thought you could do Skill Hunter (using a tome) and Party Animal at the same time aswell.

Come to think of it, the EotN Rep Titles don't count towards favor, so they aren't broadcast over the chat.

GWAMM = God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals

Aion hasn't come out yet, so until then (or GW2) - GO TITLE HUNTERS!!!

Yeh, thats most likely what i am planning on doing, did you have to change guilds to be able to hand both the books in? Or can you be of either allegiance?

Opening for Anchorman: "He was a god walking among mere mortals. In short, Ron Burgundy was the Balls."

Still waiting for them to make the next higher rank as "The Balls".

+6 on the Aion train. Played the beta and still go to the log-in screen to get a fix. Is that bad?

I know this isn't the biggest list possible or anything but I decided a while back to hold back on getting GWAMM untl my mate is ready so;

right now all I have is luxon, he has party, drunkard and luxon, so we're gunna those four plus the two gwamms.

However this isn't really to see the announcement, it's more about getting GWAMM at the same time.

Hopefully it works out

Yep. Unfortunately.
I will max the Luxon title and then EAT SWEETS and have a PARTY.

Eating sweets/using party items gets only topped by drunkard and AFKing in the nine rings. Legendary Defender of Ascalon is also cheesy.



Though I hate it to be the party pooper, Aion is unlikely to be our salvation.
Rather Diablo 3 or Blizzard's new super secret next generation MMO.

I just shiver when I read ANet's early ideas for GW2. Basically, we return to the very roots of MMO gaming, stoneage design - going backwards instead of being ahead of the competiton.
There is still the chance that GW2 is great, I just doubt it. I miss any direction and coherence in their game design philosophy. GW has changed a lot, and not always to the better. They messed it up thoroughly and basically had to restart the franchise.

If you're far enough along the title, or rich enough to buy it, you could add wisdom as well (and treasure if you're not concerned with Kurzick/Lux)

The one I'm planning on, will probably be Treasure Hunter, Wisdom, Drunk, Life Of the Party, Sweet Tooth, and GWAMM. Just need to find a shed load of chests with golds inside them.

This is not a thread to talk about Aion.

Either take it elsewhere or I'll MAKE you take it elsewhere.

Why do you want a "title spike" anyways. I'm assuming it's so that you can have as many people as possible see you get it and pm you to say "gg you beat guildwars".

Maybe just do the title for your own benefit?

I for one am waiting on a title spike, but I couldn't care what other thinks, I'm doing it as a way to keep me playing this game. Once my main has GWAMM I'll most likely stop playing. This way I actually have a reason to keep playing. I could of had GWAMM six months ago but with the title spike in mind, I'm still playing.

No need to change guilds. The collectors in Kaineng will take books off you no matter what guild you're in or what faction you have. They just add the points directly to your title.

When I got my GWAMM I got some guildies with me to do grand court of sebelkeh for the elona and legendary guardian titles. Then went out to find my chest#10k to open, and after that back to GH where I donated the last kurz faction, after that we had a nice party
I could have held back the last firewater to drink and the last rocket to fire etc, but i had these titles much earlier.

No need for spiking then. As soon as I got GWAMM, I got 30+ congrats form random people, so that would stroke the e-peen enough if that's what you are after.

Still, it's fun to see someone spiking these titles. They often get a 'nice one!' from me, for showing the dedication.

Now that GWAMM is becoming more popular, i think that spiking it is just another unique way to achieve it, and often makes you feel that little bit better!

We should create some sort of record
Get a whole bunch of people to max there titles at a certain time

Haha, 17th of July, GWAMM day. All max their last title at noon

lol that would be awesome, i got a cool idea if we're all that great temple we can save quest rewards that give us the max part to the title too

Treasure+Wisdom+drunk+sugar+party+vanquisher/carto/skill hunter would be simple enough to get all within 10 seconds. If you want to spread it out over 10 minutes or so you can spike from ~15-30 easily

I recently attempted a title spike on my monk to get GWAMM. I basically did it to get screenshots. I maxed Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, Party Animal, Skill Hunter, and Kurzick all within about a minute or two, taking me from 24 maxed titles to 30 (2 skill hunter titles, but GWAMM gets broadcasted).

If you're looking for more to spike, Wisdom and the other of Kurzick or Luxon are probably the only other ones you can do at the same time. I had already finished my vanquishing and cartography, and I don't think I'd want to try to squeeze those two in while trying to do this anyway, since both can be completed at inopportune times and that's probably more dedication than I would want to put in for something like this. They're also fine if you don't intend to spike so much as finish titles within say 5-10 minutes of each other, or if you're not trying to gather with guildies for the event.

If you just wanted to max titles that don't broadcast, I suppose you could save quests that gave reputation rewards. That won't work for Luxon/Kurzick because you have to donate the faction to add them to your title track. You should use a Shiro's Return or Young Heroes of Tyria book in Kaineng Center if you want to max your titles while in a city where your friends can see the broadcasts.

Also, I made a couple of mistakes in my title spiking which caused it to drag on a little longer than it should have. So if you're trying to achieve a near-perfect title spike, here are some tips:
- Have all your items ready before you start.
- For Drunkard, make sure you're down to needing exactly 3 minutes of drunkenness, and use Grog. You will be able to time your spike off of the Yo Ho Ho icon.
- For Skill hunter, have your secondary set appropriately beforehand (my first mistake).
- For Party and Sweet, if you plan on firing a bunch of these off during the 3 minutes of your last grog, you'll definitely want less than 100 of each, and probably no more than 50 of each. That's a LOT of double-clicking, and you still need to turn in the book for Kurzick or Luxon AND use your skill tome. (my 2nd mistake - having about 200 of each to double click through--thought it'd be fun to fire off a bunch of ghosts-in-the-box while running around in circles in tonic form--it becomes a lot less fun after the first 50 or so)
- For Party, if you plan to use a Disco Ball to finish off the title, make sure you have the district to yourself. I used Traditional Chinese dist 1 and my guildies who came to watch knew not to use a Disco Ball.
- Try very hard not to care about extending favor as it's running out. (this caused me to push to finish the titles before I was really settled in, esp. since some guildies were still trying to farm gloom seeds for the Traveler)

Heh, when it comes time, me and my friend are going to spike:

Drunkard (both)
Party (both)
Sweets (both)
Kurzick (both)
Luxon (both)
Wisdom (me)
GWAMM (both)

For an epic total of 13 titles =)


Thanks for the tip about Grog by the way, would've never thought of that ^^
