Now that we got this lovely new update how do you guys plan to get survivor?

For me it's gonna be vaetir farming, eotn weekend vanquishes, and other simple farms

Let your ideas flow.

Boring vaettir farming for me aswell. Eh, at least it's easy. Unfortunately most xp scrolls were sold out at the scroll trader.

I may just do a lot of books in HM and then turn those in all at once. Could have some decent synergy with the Zaishen quests.

If I get really lazy, Kath hammers are cheap enough for me.

well i already did it on my ranger, but now i'm working on vanquishing with my monk. and with 7 discord heroes i never even get close to dying. ~15k experience per area i vanquish without scrolls. if i happen to get close to legendary doing this i'll box the rest.

Well I just did the math so here goes. It's for the guys that can Vaetir farm.

Say you take a double XP Scroll, you originally get 300xp from the Vaetir so you would get 600 XP, you kill all the vaetirs which equals up to be 60 kills per run, so you would get 36,000 XP per run, each run takes about 3 minutes on average to finish. 36,000 is a good amount so do 3 runs which will equal 108,000 XP and it will take 9 minutes to complete. So lets see the equation.

60 foes X 600 exp = 36,000 XP
1,337,000 XP (LS) / 36,000 XP = 37.138888888889 = 38 runs
38 runs X 3 minutes = 114 minutes
114 minutes / 60 minutes = 1.9 hours

So there it is, it would be even faster with LB scrolls but those are out of stock for a lot of people

If I did something wrong just tell me

(P.S. It's too late to be doing math, even simple math at that haha)

I'm just gonna Kilroy it I think.
Got plenty of LB scrolls sitting in storage for that.

Some other chars will get it through regular gameplay though.

You can get r1 by doing DoA. 80k quest rewards + bring a scroll of Lightbringer, gonna do it, just for fun.

Also, the HM books thing looks pretty solid^^

Doing VQs/Missions etc, that's is how I got my first LS on my Warrior. Spamming Kilroy/Hammers feels lame to me, especially considering how you can get it even if you die.

I do recall a post around a yr ago - not sure who did it but CEDevilman springs to mind and they actually had screens of a chr bonded by 3 heros getting LS from vaetires in a few hrs using scrolls.

And 1.9hrs for us non maths ppl is 1hr 54 mins

the above calculation of 60 foes times 600 XP per run, I assume that this is solo farming in HM with double XP scrolls? Doable for a monk primary?

Since my original survivor skipped the last 25% of the title with brawling, I think i'm gonna get survivor title on my main character now doing non repetitive stuff. I think i'm going to do a full FoW run with heroes, probably a full Tombs run for the good old days, daily vanquishes/missions/bounties/WiK bounties that are not really dangerous (even that i've done them already...main char is a gwamm)

I got LS and GWAMM on my monk doing vaettirs on yesterday. I used Mo/A with the following build:

Ebon Standard of Wisdom
Shroud of Distress
Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form
Kirin's Wrath
Symbol of Wrath
Balthazar's Aura
Snowstorm

The Standard of Wisdom is great, it helps cutting the waiting time between the smiting skills. You don't need a higher rank in smiting than 12 since Shadow Form limits the damage you can do to 12.

AND I took 3 hero monks that maintained all the enchantments I could find. The enchantments give you protection, HP and energy:

Balthazar's Spirit
Holy Veil (helps if you are a tad late while re-applying Shadow Form)
Life Barrier (E)
Life Bond
Mending
Protective Bond
Purifying Veil
Succor
Vital Blessing
Watchful Spirit

If you flag the heroes far enough away they don't share in the XP but they can still keep the enchantments on you. I bought scrolls at the merchant for 300g each that gave me times 1.75 XP (until you fail to kill a boss within 5 minutes).

Works like a charm

Acolyte Firestar, again I commend you m8! I got Legendary Survivor in 1 day, LOL I never thought it'd be possible. =D

Vaettir farming with double xp scroll. 250gl per scroll. Using 1 scroll per group (2 groups) it comes it to 19K (76 scrolls) Using 3x scrolls are USELESS! I highly advise against using them via this method as you only get 700xp per kill. (You get 600xp per kill) The triple scrolls go for? 3? 4K each? While it takes a few less runs, it costs more than 5 times as much.

So, thanks again!
_______________________________________________
I used the A/Mo smite build on pvx
I also used a bonder monk just for extra insurance that I would not die. Using this method (so far as I know) has a 100% chance survival rate.

Also, cupcakes are Merchant Summoning stones are very important.

Running to Jaga: Use 1 cupcake) When your inventory is full, simply summon a merchant, FTW!!! I got most my gold back JUST from picking everything off the ground, IDing it (including whites) and selling it to the summoned merchant ^^

I'll be getting survivor by doing 7H FoW runs. On all my chars.

Main (warrior) is currently at 800k after 7 FoW runs and several vanquishes.

On my warrior, running a /Rt spirit spammer build, solo farming 10 worms outside Boreal Station, with scrolls of Rampager's Insight. 10 x 2 x 396XP = 7920 XP per run. It seems around four minutes per run including dealing with loot.

Not sure how good an option this is but it got me past the million XP mark since yesterday afternoon, and I'm going back for some more.

{edit} There are also 2 chests per run if you're into that.

Using the 300g scrolls, gives 31500 xp every ~3 minutes.

can someone link to a 7H FoW run? I couldn't find any.

Tried to go LS with my main toon, a ranger, but couldn't find a good build to do so. I'll do the A/Me Vaettir too, didn't know the build, since it's so easy and quick.
