Fastest way to Legendary Survivor

So I've been testing a few ways to get legendary survivor on my Necro. I found that the fastest personally was farming raptors so far. ~140k exp in 45 minutes without using scrolls. However this way was very dangerous because I cannot kill Rekoff anymore. Once I got to 56k exp and died to rekoff because I couldn't kill her.

On the survivor page on wiki, it seems like Kilroy is the second best with 44000 exp/hour with scrolls.

Any other ideas?

Kilroy is 42-44k XP every ten minutes, not every hour - that's one run with a triple XP scroll in HM.

Killing Wurms outside Boreal Station with 800g scrolls.
Including running, killing 10 wurms gives 9450exp in 3 minutes.
That boils down to 189k exp/hour risk free. Even if you DC, chances are high you're still a survivor when you get back. And the 800g for the scroll is usually regained from drops like lockpicks and gold. Gain a decent Deldrimor rank, bring booze and Drunken Master and you might even do it in less than 3 minutes.

Wurms pop up in a certain pattern, you will learn the pattern for faster exp after a few runs.

Took me ~3 hours to get Legendary Survivor by farming Vaettirs in HM on my sin using triple XP scrolls.

FoWSC 20 min with a guild group? That's my record time so far with a pug. Scared of dying though.

Gunnars is probably the fastest cheapest way ( hammers is a buy option ) but it also runs the highest risk ( excluding raptors ) due to the fact you can die thru lag spikes.And for every survivor who makes it to max via gunnars theres probably 10+ ppl who fail thru lag.
One memorable time was when i got weird lag lvling a chr and my screen said foes were dead and suddenly i was on floor dead and no timer and green icon - the red icon only showed when i got bk to gunnars and i was surprised to see on chat around 6 others who died within same time period as me thru lag spike - memorable because it shows it wasnt just me.
Wurms is probably the safest but longest way - unless anet turned off servers or world got nuked , lag couldnt kill you.
Vaetires can be done easily if you are both used to the build and confident enough ( and lucky ) usually you can expect to die at least a few times thru either human error or slight lag.

is it possible to achieve survivor by giving back books? Just keep 10-12 flameseeker book and give it back all togehter? It is not the faster way, but it is the less risk (you can die but don't care because you get the experience all together)

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I've gotten two Legendary Survivors within the past 24 hours with Vaettirs and the 175% xp (300g) scrolls.

It's safe if you pay attention and stay alert.

I'm doing Kilroy. I'm pretty lazy so I don't want to start trying Vaettirs now for fear of dying but if I have to do this again I'll try it out.
Got up to 450k ish from boxing in perhaps 4-6 hours.

Are you supposed to do Kilroy's in HM or NM?

If you struggle with it in HM, you can do it in NM but it will take much longer.

I've been messing around with a few methods for getting this safely and quickly, and the best thing I've stumbled across so far is definitely HM Vaettir farming (I'm a monk).

My template is this:

OwcU4SI6rPT8I6MHQsiEQZRQEyDA

I'm using blessed insignias on all my armour, a 9% HSR and 20% ench sword, and a shield with the "Like a Rolling Stone" inscription.

In just under 2 hours I got Indomitable Survivor, but it's a fairly steep learning curve learning to farm it if you've never done any sort of farming before. I died loads to begin with while I was tinkering with various skills and mods but once you get the hang of it it's fairly safe!

UW is easy for me just farming, but can't do all the quests. I find that FOW is way easier. 4H in UW will destory you.

Vaettir are one of the most profitable and safe way to farm exp imo.
Also can be done on multiple profs: Ele, Sin, Monk can easily solo them, and with a bonder even a War can farm exp(i'm doing it on my Mes atm).

I've tried farming them as 55 monk but a glitch kills me after a few runs.

HM Wurms with scrolls are easy, fast and - what is most important - ping and dc safe. You can have survivor within day if you use Scroll of Rampager's Insight (or Berserker if they ever stop from being sold out).

I was completing the Survivor title in the last 3-4 days, farming Fronis Irontoe lair, and about only THREE HM RUNS TO END I was DISCONNECTED.

It wasn't my computer, the application didn't stop running.
It wasn't my adsl line, I was able to browse in the background.

Now the title resetted. I had about 1.271.000 experience points and now I have to restart from zero. I'm worth of the title, but I have to start over again...
