A slow-but-safe way would be to amass HM rep books:Flameseeker Prophecies 120,000xp Shiro's Return 60,000xp Night Falls 90,000xp Young Heroes of Tyria 67,500xp Hero's Handbook 60,000xp Master Dungeon Guide 120,000 Just complete Prophecies 11 times (storing the books as you finish them) then hand them all in at once.

Well, I say "just", but you know...

Just got survivor on warrior (my main) with vaettir farming under 4 hours, 30ish 300g scroll, got the basic build from kajusbonus' post under campfire farming, upgraded it a little bit, a run takes 4-5 min, 31.5k exp. With 2 bonder, it's safe proof (test run drop sf for 2 sec, still live) unless u got lag spike or dc.

You could just solo 60 vaettir at once HM with Lightbringer scrolls. That method only takes 25 minutes to get r3. That's the way I did on my sin.

Just lost survivor playing through HM(VQ's, ZBs, ect) while doing SoO HM for ZB today.
Terrible idea, but I'll probably go kill vaettirs like everyone else lol...

how many times do you have to kil the vaettir with light bringer scrolls...is the real question...so we know how many LB scrolls to get.

i get Dced or lag out because of this damn dev update...never did before...always lose Survivor.

I think vaettir is the fastest, lets see the numbers:

Run without scrolls : 18k Exp.
I got my survivor with x2 scrolls (250g/ea at any eye trader)
Doing this --> 36k/run.
With a proper build, u can do the run in 4 mins or so, and taking the 36k/run as reference, you just need 37,15 runs (u know, 38 XD) to get the r3 survivor, so it is...

37,15 (38) x4mins/run = 2 hours and 18 mins (2 hours and 22mins) Thats the time
37,15 (38) x 250g/scroll = 7.ooo gold for scrolls.

So u can get ur r3 survivor with 2 hours 22mins and 7K, in vaettirs, best way i think

Does anyone have a map of the Vaettir, Raptor of Wurm run and any possible builds? Thanks

I was trying to do it just playing normally, since I'm vanquishing anyway, but my connection's been so spotty lately that I'd lag and then reconnect and find I had died.

So I'll probably just farm wurms if I decide I really want LS...

Well, first off, stop using the old wiki. Use the new one: http://www.gwpvx.com/PvX_wiki

I'm not sure on the builds but I'd assume the Mesmer specific one would be better (assuming you're a Mesmer, of course).

If you haven't capped skills, there was a double exp skill weekend you just missed. I played for a couple of hours per day in the weekend and got about 1 million exp; only 200k to go :P. Thinking of doing Wurms.

Vaettir farming is THE fastest way to Survivor, thats the answer to the thread. end of story. go max your survivor, 2-4hours.

Kilroy HM 4-6 hours with scrolls, but can be very hard to do with caster classes.

Vaettirs if you've got the right class, 2-4 hours.

My monk took less then 2h Veattir farming with scrolls (300g ones) from 0 to 1337000, less then 3min per run /age said 2min, used second account for faster zoning. I didnt used any heros for insurance so they dont steal my drops :P. I died only because I didnt put up SF fast enough. no disconnection

Saw this video while looking for survival guides on youtube.
I'm a necro main but I wanted to try Vaettir farming so I was glad to see this! Hope this helps everyone else and thank the maker of the video!

Well, I say "just", but you know... I now have a set of Flameseeker, Shiro's, YHoT and MDG. I did the MDG first and, as is usual, died many, many times. Oddly, though, I've done the other three without dying once.

That is so unlike me...

Hi All

Necro Main

Just completed this today doing the N/A fastfoot farm. Using triple scrolls = 12kish experience each run, about 3 mins per run.

Build

http://www.gwpvx.com/Build:N/A_SS_Fastfoot_Farmer i swapped out deaths charge.

I then used the 7 hero party build from pvx to take care of first group.

Gotta agree with some before, Vaettir farm in HM has got to be the fastest, with 3x XP scrolls, 54000xp every 3 mins. Only downside to this run is there is very little margin for error, 99/100 times if you miss a skill your dead before you have a chance to recover.

Defiantly vaettir farming with scrolls. Cost a bit of money but take so little effort.

Vaettirs only i say. Took me few hours if i dont count all the afk. Was using the 250g scrolls from merch + the Air of Superiority (600/700xp per kill). Had my hero bonder with me all the time so even if i missed the Obs Flesh spell for few secs it didnt hurt me at all

Unless one has LB scrolls to waste I wouldnt suggest them as exp for vaettirs caps out at 700exp per....wasting the potential of the scroll when a 300g scroll will net 650exp per

Im currently Prot/Guard all 3 campaigns for my HoM, so i figured I'd just turn in books at the end and just skip all the hassle. REALLY hoping they add more Hard Mode Quests. Turning in Mox, Villainy of Galrath, and a few more high xp quests to round out what the books dont get would be nice.

Failing any more HM Quests, ill just go through this list and grab a few:

Vats are fastest for any prof. Watch YouTube videos until you think you have it learned. Try it and be happy you get it on ~2.5 hours. (using time scale based on my paragon without scrolls)
