My Para is at r2 at the moment. I got to Lutgardis by myself and have been HFFF ever since. I'll try the dwarven boxing, but I have yet to reach Kilroy.

Found this on gwiki:

Code:
Instead of dying when you reach 0 Health, you are knocked out.
So it seems like you dont die. can anyone confirm this?




Question: I'm looking to go for the maxed title on maxed titles. Should I restart my sin (who i spent well over 50k on) or should i just stick with survivor (1) and move on?

I'm kinda leaning towards farming with my sin then remaking.

i am sure if you get knocked down it don't count, but if you lose the mission it counts as a death.

Huicho was done the lame way. Was "door" for FF groups in Lutgardis . Took less than a month but it was boring as hell, and only a few people let me in their group (even though we were in the same alliance). Since I didn't feel like I accomplished anything, Uluru was born ...and the Charr wept. Quested and Missioned my way to Lions Arch, quested in Kaineng. Around that time, the bonus xp for caps weekend came and I capped non-stop from when I woke up on Sunday, to midnight on Monday (yep, I stanked up the place)for more than 400k xp. Couple quests later and...

Correct. Dwarven Boxing is pretty low risk that way. I got r3 Survivor very, very quickly using hard mode DB, and I got knocked down but not out!

Well, to be helpful to the thread.

Kilroy Stonekin Boxing HM

First, you need to get to Gunnar's.

This can be risking, the Mandragor's pack some nasty conditions and hexes, make sure to bring condition removal, as the degen is heavy. You can pass the group of Avalanche's and Ice Elementals if you are patient, if your not, they can rape you with their Maelstroms. When you get to Gunnar's, do Kilroy's first quest, and then farm away in HM, if you do it straight out, you can get r3 survivor in 5 hours, but that is with no breaks. You need to use Rampager's always, and the quest reward pays for them, so no money worries there. Try to be /A secondary to max dagger mastery, for increased damage. You usually get 1 k per run, minus the cost of scroll, and a run nets you 34 k exp. IF you get knocked out, press 8 and CLICK 8, for double the energy. A run, if used with an assassin secondary, takes 7 mins, with Pumpkin Slices (I have an excess, so I use them).

Enjoy.

Easiest way to get survivor title (with pretty much 0 risk even if you lag out). Involves becoming level 20 go to GW:EN and farm those lvl 30+ snow wurms in hard mode. If you don't go into melee range they don't fight back so just go out of boreal station I believe it is, kill them rezone and keep going.

I was not going for easiest... but the best way for survivor. I tried to do every quest/mission/skill cap by just normally playing with pugs etc. Well I guess I found Eye of the North dungeons to be to difficult.

Half way to r2 and I guess I got glitched or something by a wurm bile. Full health, then wham dead!

I remember in the very early days of EotN, some hopeful survivor posted on the forum that they had been killed by a random nornbear spawn encounter as they were making their way to Gunnar's Hold.

Is this no longer the case? I recall recently getting there with two characters and didn't run into the nornbear, but I was just looking for a little confirmation.

Wait a sec, you can lose the title if you die, once you have the title? As in, you will no longer have the title? Or you just can't progress the title any further which I already knew?

If you die after getting the r3 survivor title, the titles stays, but it does not progress any farther.

ex. You hit r3 survivor, go on to not die for 5mil exp then randomly die. Your progress bar no longer goes up as a result.

The only time the title bar (when you press H) dissapears completely is if you have died before reaching r1 survivor.

Yeah - I hate that chest picture - why does it have to be right in the middle of the screen and not to one side or something? Hasn't made me die but it is irritating to pick up the last few drops with it completely covering the center of the screen.

Gotta say this is one annoying title to go for. I'm doing the safer route by hFFF in Factions. Alot slower and longer but you make at least 10k an hour, so thats not too bad. Currently rank 2, and I only hFFF when I'm extremely bored.

I discovered this title (tier 1) on my elementalist by accident. I made her in Elona, then got her over to Tyria to get skills in that campaign, got her to Amnoon and saw this weird title showing in my screen. I looked and saw that at some point I made teir 1, then had died, and didn't even know I had a title!

So, now that I've started reading up on this, I have made 2 new characters I am going to try for LS for: a Mesmer and a Rit. (I'm proud of the name I made up for my Rit: Voiceless Was Death - he sounds like an object spell!)

I play H&H only. (My limited expereince w/PUGs was abyssmal.) Worried about Visunah Square when I get there - probably back off and head to Tyria. Double Elite XP weekends will be my main focus time!

Wish me luck!

Though it is slower than the ideal boxing dungeon farming, it is a bit safer, due to things like

combined with my own experiences with it. Was either the aforementioned bug that was fixed a few days later or my inattention, but either way my paragon was doing the farming run but decided to not get up. Granted, she wasn't even r2 survivor, but it still made me decide that hFFF is the safest way to get max survivor. However, getting to EotN asap after hitting level 10 and doing the punchout is a good way to hit rank 1, in order to better survive the trek to Lutgardis.

With Calculation:

Hard Mode Kilroy (not comfirmed...) gives about 54k-60k exp with Scroll in about 10 mins.

Normal with Scroll gives 20k exp

took me about 72 times to do Normal Kilroy with Scrolls.



My tips are:
-Have a Computer that does not BSOD (shut downs, restarts, crashes) on you. If it does, do not do Kilroys!
-FOCUS on Kilroy, if you start combining to grind on other titles, chance are you will die.

I thought its about 37k exp each run on HM, but it only takes about 7-9 mins

Tier 1 on my Rt/N has been achieved - on to tier 2!

I got tier 1 in Cantha - then headed to Lion's Arch and Kamadan. Picked up my Heroes (the basic 4 + Olias and the assassin).

Currently going thru the Crystal Desert missions. Looking for that 50k xp for beating the Doppleganger! Then, it's time to start capping Elites. Once I beat Augury Rock, I'll be about 50% of the way to tier 2.

A few close calls - got slammed by a patrol of Sand Giants just as we sprung a popup of Scarabs. Had to jump to an outpost asap! And Hydras if there are more than 2 have been kind of scary. I've made sure to equip interrupts on my Heroes!

Got tier 2 yesterday
From my experience you get ca. 40k XP each run and i run it in bout 12 minutes (depending on how well the Chamber fight goes )

What i do in the last chamber b4 Frontis is:
Aggro the guys in the middle yourself, make sure that if a new enemy enters the middle he'll spot you can attack you. As long as they're attacking you and not Kirloy, Kilroy can speed up the killing making it go pretty fast
Not a pro at the dungeon though, but that's how i try to do it

With a lightbringers scroll I got between 42-45k xp per run on hard mode. I haven't tried without consumables but with consumables + upgraded and customized daggers I was able to do hard mode in about 8 minutes.

I do the same thing warrior does but if killroy goes down I run like a little girl in order to get him back up . Essence of celerity = +25% run speed means I can actually live pretty easily when I run away to revive kilroy. The worst part for kilroy seems to be the first boss.

I've never had a problem with dying due to the chest though. Probably cause I usually go for the ogre first and then go for the dwarf. If you can do HM in under 10 minutes you can get the title in about 5-6 hours.

the best way to earn the title is to stay low, and play slow and easy. don't do the hard stuff, let your heroes do that for you, flag them almost every time at every group, make sure you got more health then they got. And the best thing is to play alone for this title. (At least I did it alone). The closest you get to your enemy, the risky will be for you. So I salute the people who get this title with the characters who is close combatants (Warriors, Assassins... I personally did it three times with my Ranger, Ritualist and finally Paragon, it is getting the habit of mine to go for the survivor title it is very fun, and makes me calm when I play it). The safest way to do this is capturing elite skills. You can start doing that in the beginning, or you can save your cash, for that double experience weekend for getting skills. good luck ... PS: oh yes and extravaganza is good way to earn experience points, but very risky if you are a new to the game.

Scored Tier 1 on my Nightfall necro, at about 300k exp now and working to Tier 2.

I spent about 4 hours in Nightfall, doing all the quests to reach Level 10 (FYI I did NOT do Jokanur Diggings and I do not reccomend it, I recall the Apocrypha being very painful). Then made my way to GW:EN, got max armor at the Boreal Station (one could get ferried to Consulate Docks and do it there too though), made my way to Gunnar's Hold (use flags when you have to fight mobs to send the henchies ahead of you), boxed, boxed, boxed more.

At lvl 20 switch to boxing in HM and use double/triple exp scrolls. The drops are fairly good and pay for your scrolls.

Good luck!

Dang!!! Had to start over. Over 500k, 80k short of tier 2, and I got nailed by The Drought in Rilohn Refuge. I brought people with interrupts, and the next thing I know I'm standing in a 100+ Sandstorm!! 2 seconds I'm out, but got slammed by 3 Stonings and I was dead!

Does bringing Winter really help in that mission? (My ranger got thru that with Winter, but she also has +30 vs elemental damage, so I'm not sure if the spirit really helped or not. Plus, The Drought never got her Sandstorm off in that run.)

For those who wonder: non-Prophecies characters can get the 50k for beating the dopp. You simply have to do the Augury Rock mission before you ascend via Nahpui Quarter, or "Hunted!" in Elona. If you have already ascended, you don't get that huge bonus.

i have a toon with LS and did it under 24hrs playing time, just by farming HM Zelnehlun just out side Rilohn Refuge the run is very profitable (green bow + Elite Ranger tomes + Gold junks) and fast something like 10K exp (depending on what scrolls you use) in 4minutes.

all you need to have is Spiteful Spirit elite (bleh no special builds), and A HERO to trigger the boss spawn.

heres how to do it:
- Head out side with 8man h/h team and flag h/h to the enemies near the Rez Shrine and watch them kill fight it out.
- once done, flag ONE hero here its the spot where you trigger the boss spawn, and flag the rest of the team on the rez shrine near the rilohn refuge entrance.
- You can either let that hero die OR use assassins shadow step skills to get him out there (you gonna have to mico manage this though) carefull not to agro the other spawns.
- now stay near the rez shrine and wait untill ALL the spiders are under the bridge with thier boss.
- now go up the bridge and SS away.

** you can also use this to power lvl your pet/hero/someone**

I found a tip for HM Kilroy Boxing.

For me (I'm working for LS on a caster), the room with the circle of Dwarves is tricky - all goes fine until I die, then I can never build up adrenaline for my godly attacks with so much pressure. I found a good tip, which has made HM a lot more fun for me and cut the run time from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.

In Hard Mode Boxing, NEVER let Kilroy aggro the Stone Summit. He does not tank well, has no means of healing, and cannot block. It is preferable that you hold all the aggro - Kilroy will buff you with his shout whilst helping a bit with his attacks.

Keeping Kilroy alive has made HM a lot easier for me, I'd reccomend you put that down in your guide...if you want.

P.S. My necro is now at 1 million exp - gonna hit LS tonight!
