I am going for survivor on my second char which I wanna GWAMM and am planning to do this partly with books for a very simple reason: it is an awesome way to improve the protector/guardian titles as well. I will fill in at least one book for each campaign, both nm and hm and the dungeon nm and hm books, and the Young Heroes book, and after I have finished this I will have added 7 more titles. After this I will actually start the Survivor by vanquishing GWEN (thus getting another title - the Master of the North). If I din't get enough XP just from vq GWEN and then the books I stack, I will proceed to vq Luxon areas for my allegiance title. Will do so until I get some 8-900k xp without dying, then will use the books. I have not done the math to see exactly how much XP I will get from all the books, but I assume it to be 3-400k.
So by the time I get Survivor, I will have 8 more titles, too.
A friend of mine wants to get it by FoWSC - that is also a great way to do it.
Regular FoW clears are an awesome way, too.
Capping elites is great, especially if you have not capped all of them: great synergy.
Kilroy is... Kilroy. Good way, but rather boring.
Vaettirs seems awesome, too, especially due to the low duration.
The snow worms from Boreal Station seem like a very good way, too.
The best is, ofc, kath hammers, but those cost a fortune now.
Sooo many choices, enough for everyone to gain this title in the manner he finds most entertaining and/or proffitable. I sure am glad ArenaNet came with this change to the Survivor title. Kudos to those who got it the old way, it was a great undertaking, but this way makes much more sense imo and it can actually be enjoyable.

It insn't so enjoyable when you get disconnected by the server and isn't your fault. And you have to restart again, and again, and again... If they have the intention to make the Survivor title good for every people, they have to ensure that disconnections don't break your title.
Now, not only I have to restart, but my title track is stuck about at 1.271.000 and I must type the "/deaths" to see the progress. It's very very ugly.
And for the Drunkard title? I made it "old-school", it took me 10.000 minutes, but now every noob with some gold could make it... I defenitly don't like these updates, they should use the head and think what they're doing and all consequences.

Just finished my Legendary Survivor and that finally put me up to GWAMM.
I was doing full clears of FoW but those were taking too long. I switched to doing the first 5 quests and maybe the the sixth one if I felt like it. Funny thing, I got two congrats sent to me via PM and neither one was in English.

HM books be it Nightfalls Hero handbook, or Shiros book, has synergy with the title and other rubish.....but pretty much 22 books and u max Leg Survivor and if u take the EoTN book then u pretty much max all ure other titles too 
fair enough 22 books is a little extreme, but then it is pretty idiot proof as when u had the books in u get the Exp so no chance of dying

Because I don't want to get disconnected again while "kilroying", I'm trying the wurm path and I find this farm very interesting and super-easy, the wurms (level 30) cannot harm you if you're not very close; my toon is a necro and I'll usually use Spirit Spammer build (I added Necrosis and another hex), it works pretty good here and, in the worst case, if I disconnect in the proximity of a wurm, it should not kill me because my spirits kill it faster and because I'm blessed by Norn having 690 hp. I may equip a shield to be more protected against wurm attacks.
Nice farm. Using double-exp blue scrolls (200%) every wurm gives you 792 xp; while I'm killing the first 10 wurms in 3 minutes, should be 158.400 xp per hour, that's pretty good.

Does the progress bar continue past r3 now, even after death? I try to kill my characters precisely at 1,337,500 simply for aesthetics. I'm wondering though, if I ever accumulate that much consecutive xp a second time, would the title bar start moving again? That would defeat the purpose of dying intentionally, and I'd be stuck with a silly-looking number.
Yes, I realize how trivial this might sound. But it's important to me.

I don't really know, because I've not acquired 1.337.500 xp ;-)
Other titles, for example gwen reputation title tracks, that continue increasing after the cap limit has been acquired. We have to wait someone else for answering to this question.
PS: a single wurm-path run now takes me LESS than 3 minutes, because if I type "/age" the game says "2 minutes"; the drop isn't too bad, some gold items too, some warrior tomes, if you pick up white drops you may buy scrolls for free.

can necros farm vaettirs or anything super awesome like that?

To do LS on my war, I am doing Fastfoot farming. I get 11k XP per 3 min run, so that's around 220k XP per hour using double XP scrolls, and its very safe as well.

Can people tell me the times they run for Killroy HM/wurms?
The wurm farm itself takes less than 3 minutes for me, but picking up drops and rezones averages out to 3.57 minutes per run.
I can do in Killroy HM in 13-15 minutes but I'll admit i'm pretty clunky at it.

I'm going to collect story books! If I complete every one available it should accumulate 867500 xp alone. all I have to do is double up on a few books and I'm there. No mindless grinding, no hammers, no boxing, no fear of disconnections and I can have fun doing all the missions in the game with my full hero party. And if I mess up and die while doing them I don't have to start over. I'm thinking of them as a way of banking xps while playing!
Thanks, Mike.

You can fill in optionals depending on your primary...there are many many ways to do it.

i'm going for suvivor just by doing quests and killing stuff (not farming anything special).

it's not the fastest but I am SO done with grind, so I did 12 fissure clears in NM with no cons with 6 heroes and an afk 2nd account
got leg survivor in less than 3 days. For the record the best drop/obsidian chest/fissure chest drop I got was a r9 shadow blade 15^stanced, so yeah nothing good dropped. Got a nice amount of obsidian shards though. Each clear gets about 115k, so that's pretty good.
I did this on my warrior, the only times I got a little nervous was when I got Grenth Balanced in the burning forest, or hit with empathy + spiteful spirit right before going into hundred blades

Im up to 645k doing Vaettirs using Rampage 300g scrolls. 525xp X 60 per <5min run.
SF sin btw.
Tried using gold scrolls b4 they sold out and seemed like Xp capped at 700/mob.

I've been out skill capping and I'm about 4 caps away from r1 Survivor. I just did a bit of math and getting all the NF caps (I've got all the Proph and most of Factions) will put me at like 100k past r2. Still debating on what to do for the remaining 600k or so.
What's the approximate XP/hr for Vaettir runs on an ele? How risky is it? I've only just gotten back into the game last weekend so my reflexes aren't the best... if Vaettir farm requires a lot of precision I'm probably better off Wurming.

As Essence Snow says, using the common scrolls produces some 31,000xp per 5-6min. Using rare scrolls would produce 40,000-50,000xp.
I used a bonder hero as insurance too for my assassin, to minimise the risk of inattention/disconnection and allow extra offense.
Now I can return to real PvE and speed clears (relieved). Happy farming!

Vaettirs are uber easy if it comes for survivor.
Done it just today with 175% exp scrolls in like 4-5h without paying a lot of attention. Used sin build.

Definitely Vaettirs. Done r3 on my Mes in few days(didin't played so much...) without any problem. Just bring a Bonder for safe and easier runs.
Also, bring Air of Superiority if farming for exp, even at r0 is maintenable.
From wiki: "Kneel Before Your Master!" ->Double XP gained ->20%. Also: Experience scrolls stack with the "Kneel Before Your Master" bonus.
So if you kill 60 vaettirs, at least 12 will give double exp.
About exp on bonder, i've seen that the exp is divided among teammates in earshot(or similar distance). Cause your hero will probably be at limit of compass (expecially when balling/killing) it wont leech exp.
P.S:If anyone is interested on my build, it was Deadly paradox-SF-Shroud of distress-Ether Nightmare(kurz/lux skill)-Cry of pain(SS)-Wastrel demise-Air of superiority-Elemental resistance(can be changed for mantra if soloing or Great dwarf armor probably; use it right after casted SF, it will be recharged when you will cancel it with DP for renew SF).
Standard bonder hero w/ Life barrier-life bond-balth spirit-optional bond(succor/mending or such)-blessed signet.

got my title today, did about 3-4 runs a day. I get bored doing it easily. Died a couple of times due to not paying attention, but once i focused got it quick, my build was R/A, took a bonder hero R/M just to be safe, after i got the title replaced the bonder hero with Storm Chaser...pretty cool. My bonder hero didn't get any experience from my run. She carried balth spirit and EoE only. put her in range to cast and hit me with EoE and the vaettir's died a bit quicker then they would've without it. No need for extra bonds as i took no damage. But that was on my ranger, haven't tried it on other professions. But yes vaettir's would be the easiest and quickest way to farm survivor. 31,500 exp for all 60 vaettir's in that area with the 175% exp scrolls.

i finished the survivor with my necro using that build.

I changed "Finish Him" for "Feel No Pain" with some Shamrock ales. My health was around 815. You can't kill Rekoff but it's much safer cos if he manages to hits you with all the block and you don't have "Feel no pain", you're pretty much dead.
I used 175% xp, finished in a day.

Ive been doing the Vaetir farm on my ele for Drops this weekend. One run is about 2-3 Minutes on my E/ME for killing all 60 Vaetirs (4 Minutes if you get a bad spawn or you get stuck and surrounded somewhere). Its a little bit risky as every 3 or 4 casts of the tank skills you could end up with one of them down for half a second (which is a lot of damage if you have 36 Vaetirs hitting you at once).
