so over the last few years ive goten a few max titles over a few charecters. nothing account bassed nor no titles on what i want my GWAMM charecter to be.

the charecter i will be working on is my paragon. (favorite + would make some places easier to vq, finish missions etc.)

the order i plan on getting these in

1.kurzik
2. max rep (4 titles)
3. protectors (3 titles)
4.guardians (4 titles)
------at this point that is 12 titles
5.ss
6.lb
7.vanquish (4 titles)
8. luxon
9. skill hunter (4 titles)
-------at this point this is 23 titles

* somwhere in here i will achieve sweet/party getting me to 25 titles

now here is where i need the help. im drawing a blank on the last 5 titles i should get
--- 3 titles that i would really like to get but may never happen would be r12 zashien and cursed by fate and blessed by fate.

---titles i refuse to get are carto and alchahol and any pvp titles.

--- i have died and am past pre so ldoa and survivor are out of the question.

QUESTIONS..

1. is there maybe a differnt order i should be looking at or some titles that are up there that maybe shouldnt be.

2. what do you think is the last 5 titles i should look at getting.

3. do u think it is worth it to spend the time/money getting r12 zashien, blessed/cursed by fate.


if anyone would like to work on some titles with me plz pm me in game

Cartography is now very, very easy with texmod and is almost for free as you vanquish.
Drunkard is also for free (time wise) if you do it as you go along, turn post processing effects off if you don't want to actually puke.

Basically there are easily doable titles and one pure grind, you have chosen Kurzick as that so you should have no problem.

You should be able to do Lucky, Unlucky, Treasure Hunter, and Wisdom together. Which can be worked on while vanquishing and skill hunting. So I'd say try for those ones.

Also, if you're going to vanquish and do protector/guardian, you may as well do cartography anyway. Since you'll have to cover every area of the map as it is.

Master of the North as well would work well with maxing out the rep titles.

drunkard is really easy, just google autoclicker and let the program do it for you, although im not really sure if its "legal" or not, but thats the way some of my friends did it, and even if you turn off post processing effects u still need to wait 1/3min to get a point

you will not be anywhere close to these titles by just playing the game the way he stated. Treasure hunter and the others are going to require a lot of chest running or finding a really great spot to get golden eggs. probably both

I didn't say he'd be able to max them easily doing the things he listed, but they can be worked on at the same time He did say he was thinking of doing Lucky and Unlucky already, and all four titles do have an advantage in being fairly tied together as well as account-wide. So yeah.

I'm doing GWAMM now and there are 29 'easy' titles for me to max. There would've been 30 if I had the option of doing Legendary Survivor or Legendary Defender of Ascalon, but my char was started when Prophecies came out, so no chance of either.

Guardian -> 7 titles
Skill Hunter -> 11 titles
Legendary Master of the North -> 12 titles
Reputation Titles -> 16 titles
SS/LB -> 18 titles
Vanquisher -> 22 titles
Cartography -> 26 titles
Sweet/Party/Drunk -> 29 titles

That leaves one grind title. I've chosen Kurzick, since I'm in a Kurzick alliance; the Kurzick title actually gives advantages; and I've already started on it by just playing the game and vanquishing. So far I've done the first 18 titles I've mentioned and Tyrian Vanquisher and Cartographer, so I'm currently at 20 titles.

I don't understand why you don't want to do Cartographer. With Texmod, the cartography title is basically free while doing the Vanquisher title. I finished my Tyria Cartography title a few days ago with 4 areas left to vanquish, and finished Tyria Vanquisher the next day. They are extremely complementary titles. There is no need to grind hundreds of hours for lucky/unlucky or pvp titles to get GWAMM. But that's ythe choice you have to make for yourself I guess. My sweet tooth and party animal titles are well over 3000 points by just playing the game and only really participating in the event festivals of the past year (starting at wintersday 2008). My drunkard is at around 2000, but I still have 9 kegs from Nicholas in my storage. I'm working on it while vanquishing, like a person above suggested, with post-process effects turned off. Very easy.

For any aspiring GWAMM, especially one just starting out, SYNERGY is very important for cutting down the grind! For example, if you're going to Vanquish an area, you might as well map it, since (in 99% of the cases) you'll be covering the entire area anyway*. (Texmod makes cartography title easy-peasy, so don't rule it out) Also with vanquishing, you can aquire rep points, SS & LB points, and Kurz/Luxon faction, so I wouldn't waste time grinding any of those titles until you get the corresponding vanquishes done.

These are just a few examples of how you can cut down on the time spent grinding for titles. (Others include playing drunk, capping elites as you go, Zaishen challenges that contribute to titles, etc) Play smart and you'll save yourself a ton of time. GL & HF!

*Note -mapping mission areas in Prophecies is best done when going through in NM.

PvE is quite easy now days, I'm sure you could manage both.

If you're considering getting more than one GWAMM, do the account wide titles, at least Treasure Hunter, Wisdom, Lucky and Unlucky (aka Chest running)... they really are a lot easier to get since ArenaNet changed the lock picking mechanics, and it knocks four titles off your GWAMMs...

I agree with you. I know you did not say maxxed, I was just pointing out that there is still a lot of grind left in those titles after you play through the game.

I personally would never have finished the cartography titles without using texmod, but texmod makes them reasonably easy. My vote would be to go for the 4 cartography titles.

For the last title, I dunno. Maybe do a bunch of low end chest running in ascalon foothills for lucky title?

This is a good thread. It is made of helpfulness and win.

Where I would start is the skill hunter titles for the main reason it allows you to use those skills on your heroes for the entire account and gives your character the flexibility to use those skills down the road. Also, during the time you cap the skill you can vanquish and do cartography. I was stupid on my first GWAMM character where I did cartography separate and then had to go back and vanquish. Do them together and it will save you a ton of time. Also, when doing this work on Drunkard, and opening chests. The more you can piggy back the easier it will be.

If I had to do it again I would do protector and guardian last if needed and just doing them on the Z-mission days should be easy. There were very few missions I had to go back and do and the Z-days helped to break-up the monotony and allowed a good variety of PUGs on obscure missions that very few people are usually in where playing with humans helps a ton. Good Luck

I'd suggest starting a new character for getting Legendary Survivor. It saves you from maxing Luxon/Kurzick, Treasure Hunter or Wisdom or Unlucky/Lucky.

I’d be very interested in working on titles together. I currently have survivor, norn, dwarf, asuran, vanguard, all skills, all cartography, all protector = total of 16. I’ll add you to my friend list and keep an eye out. I’m sure we can find something we both need/want. .

Are you playing H/H or putting together pugs? (or maybe both)

Doing Luxon/Kurzick titles gives you more than enough cash for party/sweetie titles, I vanq, you get what drops, plus cash bonus after complete vanq, PLUS Faction bonus, trade for Amber/Jade)

Half the time I can't be arsed arguing with amber buyers and just sell to Mat trader for 600g

You'll get a load of faction doing Luxon and/or Kurzick vanquishes so that will help. If you're vanquishing you'll probably unlock a load of map anyway. I would recommend the cartography titles, I know you don't want to do them but it is a cheap and quick set of titles compared to the other 3 options.

you are going to vanq anyway, so definitely do the carto...it's very easy to do while vanq'ing and after the area is finished you can run around in total safety if you have a bit left to scrape...texmod makes this extremely easy to do. What I did was vanq areas in a clockwise fashion doing the perimeter and working my way into the center. The sweets/party/alcohol will all come naturally if you save what you find during holidays and spend what you make on s/p/a while you build it up. right now is a good time to stock up on holiday consumables, and they come in handy while you are vanq'ing, etc. like personal con sets. Also, to help out a bit, mysterious summoning stones are fun to bring along to break up the monotony..it's always fun to find out what ally you are going to get. And if you haven't died yet, definitely try to finish out legendary survivor, things will be so much easier at the end if you find you don't have to max a faction title (although it's nice to have as it's account-wide). You may find yourself doing 170+ ferndale vanq's as I did for my kurz title if you don't get LDOA or LS3 first!

Don't bother maxing LB/SS EOTN reps until you are done vanq'ing....you will get the majority of these points by doing so then just clean up the rest at the end, or during a 2x w/e. And deldrimor will be done by the time you finish the dungeons in NM/HM..you will probably find that ebon or asuran will be leftover which you should turn in your book(s) for as you finish them.

lucky/unlucky, wisdom, treasure hunter you will find are the hardest to get and will most likely be the ones that are leftover once you attain GWAMM. As you move along, be thinking about saving materials for your destroyer weapons (or money if you are going to buy them, or tormented weapons) and armor sets for your HoM. Also, pick up any undedicated pets and hero armor you see good deals on so you can fill your hall up, if that too is your GWAMM-related goal.

PS Good luck and have fun!
