Totally had it with this. I died at 1.275.000 XP...
I never farmed for XP, just did it by doing all quests and capping skills. Well, at least I am 6 caps away from adept skill hunter, but that is NOT what I was aiming for. Damnit.
Well, bright side is that I could start doing PvP with this char

Haven't read through the whole topic yet (just the few few posts), so I apologize if someone already mentioned this.
One of the biggest things to take into consideration is lag. Even if you have a perfect connection, lets face it, GW doesn't. GW servers will lag you once in a while and chances are your own connection isn't perfect and will lag you every once in a while as well.
So basically if you see a mob or whatever, that if you get a 5 second or so lag spike, will kill you, then avoid that mob.
My warrior died to lag
Was farming minos, then 1 time I get like the biggest freakin' mino spawn I have ever seen. So I am thinking "woot, tons of exp". So I run in, start doing the routine and then boom got about a 7 second lag spike and im dead.

perhaps you had a group of 7 guildies that did the missions while u trailed farther behind and did nothing.. got them to kill mobs and boss and you brg ur capture and get the elites... this still doesnt mean u were in the heat of the battle... unless you can prove this was done with henchman the whole time

My assassin died at lvl19 at Sy's suggestion that i run myself to kaineng from marketplace, and let's just say there was a bad spawn of afflicted...
My first attempt at survivor was with a ranger who died at 1.107 mil xp...bad capping run in ferndale...let's just say with alt f4, there's a 2 second delay or so before you're acutally kicked from the server. Best new way to rage quit...f12 and enter. logs you out instead of closes program. works far better.

drusilla, i said sorry, sheesh, u just didnt know where to go... there is a way to get there without dying, you just happend to not know where to go

I am now at 1.1mio XP with my Ritu. I have spend all my skillpoints (~110) for the eliteskills. Done all kurzick and luxon quests on Cantha. I havn't done the last 3 missions because I know that they are very hard. I think that it is time to travel to Tyria to get the last 240k xp.

Don't know if this has been said before..
Get the Brother Tosai quest but don't do it, now the Am Fah are your friends!
The next step is to do all the quests in Waijun Bazaar(without fighting any enemies)
Quests:
Guardsman Pah: Medical Emergency
Officer Chitaro: Luxury Goods
Kaya: Little Lost Bear
Paomu: Problem Salving
Saito: Assassination Attempt
Guardsman Ping: Eliminate the Am Fah
Guildmaster Luan: The Emperor in Peril
Guildmaster Luan: The Plot Thickens
Xunlai Agent Honlo: The Xunlai Agent(Not sure)
Imperial Guardsman Kintae: The Afflicted Guard(To do this quest just wait for the guards to kill him)
Quests are almost all 3,000 exp each so that should give you a big boost
You can do all of these quests with almost no fighting whatsoever.And if you need to fight something just stand back and send in your henchies with ctrl+shift+space

548 deaths on my war =(, sucks because i bought 15k right b4 the titles came out so there's no chance im restarting on him
daky
I really do think this title needs to be fixed. I'm not about to restart my ranger. FoW armor...all skills unlocked...its just not gonna happen. I wish they made this title so that at any given time you can earn it. Example. A charater you have before titles were made has 1mil. xp. if you go for so long with out dieing and gain so much xp you should gain teir 1. This would allow all your charaters to gain this title with out having to remake them all.
icedragon981
I say if ya want the title just get a few guildies to scrimage you and get them to let you repeatedly kill them for the exp. Pretty much the *safest* way to go.

Doing it on my Ritualist now, pretty sure it ends at Vizunah square tho
Yay pugs

I beat the whole game on my ranger with only 1 death >.< Stupid zen dajon mission without max armor. Really with a ranger I had about zero close calls except that one.
TheDarkestLight
Vizunah is not a hard mission, just make sure there is at least a good MM and at least one good monk, you rarely get touched by afflicted.All of the quests in the game, are completable with henches (except i have a little trouble with Defenders of the forest with the henches agroing everything.) Passing the game is the easy part. Getting the last 200k xp or so without dying because you find yourself doing stupid things like capping skills in unwaking waters is the hard part....the first 1.1million...easy....

well its obviously hte easiest with a Monk.
I started a monk - twice now... it seems i get lazy and start talking to my guild... next thing i know i forgot to reapply breeze....
My philosophy on it is- having a low level monk is nice for recruiting... so when I feel like working on adding new ppl into the guild (usually a waste of money...) I just load her up and grab some xp points at my lesiure.
with how easy Factions is, its MUCH easier to get Survivor - if i lose out on 5 hours, no big deal... gives me some more monastary credits too, which helps for some passive money making.

Survivor (1) on my ritualist (Died in arborstone @222k) and my mes (No deaths around 300k, about to get kurz 15k). Henched most things, mes is a bonder so many people like having it around.
Survivor 1 is very easy to get when starting in cantha, just kill the low level monsters solo or with a healing henchy and use scrolls. Then do all of the quests to hit lvl 20 fast.
Trying to find a guild that FF's via the Factions scouting quest, 2k exp, 150 coins, 400 faction, <5mins (solo, faster with more). It's actually comparable to AB. Then donate the faction gained this way to the guild. Really looks like getting tier 3 is incredibly hard without having help.

I started a survivor R/Mo a few weeks ago (don't play her as much as I'd like to ) but figured since whenever I've done missions the rangers seem to survive longest (whilst the monks get picked on from the start) it might be a good prof to use. So far so good, lvl 16 achieved with no accidents and no leaving parties (although my guildies are immensly helpful and understanding lol. They'd better be. It's my guild )
My plan was to do the missions but leave the bonuses for XP later on when it might be harder to find. However, I'm in 2 minds about the Factions ones - when I've played them before, they do seem harder than Prophecies (well, to stay alive anyways) and only 1 other guildy has it so not much support there.
Question: do they get easier with experience (so should I practice with non-survivors) or are they actually more difficult? I soooo don't want to start from scratch but the XP from Factions is just so tempting...

ThunderStruck
Well, I failed my 3rd and best attempt at survivor, just a measly 22k exp from it!
I'm verrrry angry right now, it was a stupid mistake. I was just about to log off, and I got semi-spiked, and poof, it was over. So, on to try number 4, a mesmer!

The quests aren't a problem but sooner or later I'm going to have to go for the missions since the storyline is such that I can't advance without doing them. Trouble is, I've only ever done them once before (I got bored of Factions very quickly lol) and I seem to recall they're toughies... If you're like me and stumble your way through them cos you've never done them before, anyway lol
I guess more research is needed on GuildWiki
Anyone got any other useful sites for mission walkthroughs?

Survivor 1 is so easy to get in cantha. very very very easy. I've earnt it over 10 times in all, on every profession. (I start characters alot. I just can't decide what i want atm... weird eh?)
Survivor 2 was also reletivly easy, Elite skill capture ftw! I was there with my monk before harvest temple (not sure exactly where.) i would of had s3 i am sure, but i died.... in a cut scene..... the last one..... grrr... killed by some ***** rt spirit when i had low health.
Anyway. my advice is pretty much the same as every one elses. but i want to say this, staying alive is easy for any profession if you are not stupid. Know your limits, take your time and know when the fight is lost. when it is lost, run.
If you are unable to do any of the advice posted then just remember, alt f4 is your emergency escape route. (I never used this tbh but i thought about it a couple of times... and once on an assassin i wished i did, meh, never mind, no s3 for you assy girl.)
Yeah, so good luck if you're going for it.

As a kurizck, the fastest way to max out this title is get to Lutgardis and be a doorman in faction farms. You gain 2k exp every ~2 minutes and you can get your Friend of The Kurzicks title while you do it.
Xenrath
Got it just for fun on a "storage" character lol I guess it makes a change from the many dead assassins that litter Factions hee
Wonder if there's a Legendary assassin somewhere (who wasn't power levelled or run everywhere).. that would be quite something.
That said, I still wouldn't take Survivors with me in my party, unless they were guildmates - the whole "quit if you're getting beaten up" advice can and will get abused.

I got survivor on my minion master not long ago. It's not as easy as you guys are making it sound, and it's very stressfull getting near the end and being paranoid lol. Anyways here's a couple of tips on how I did it.
Well being an MM didn't hurt as I was rarely hit and when I was if I just stepped back a bit my minions would take the heat. Not to say I didn't have a couple very close calls..
1. Don't do captured son quest. sure it's possible to do it and not die but it's not the risk you wanna take during this hope for survivor.
2. Know when your beat and log out. I had to do this once in the last mission which pissed me off, and once during that quest where you kill the captain.
3. Buy the best armour from each town as you get there helps alot.
4. Do all secondary quests besides cap son and possibly the one right near it with the rit boss.
that's about it.. I didn't use any scrolls or have anyone help me you just need to do all your quests in the beginning island and a couple once you get to marketplace. Best thing is to play smart and don't just rush in..
My advice is to just not bother as it get's very stressfull near the end and who really cares about the title? I usually see someone with survivor title and assume they got mad help from there guild even though I did it solo it's just something you end up thinking naturally.

Once you get the survivor title you can die a million times and still have it show up as survivor. You unlock it once you get to it with 0 deaths, and it won't be taken away if you die.

im an E/mo, i found it very easy to get to 1st survivor title, but im finding it tricky to get to survivor lvl 2? any1 know easiest way for this? whether its going to tyria first or carrying on in factions?
Haran Ran
Great Guide I really think it is good!
Trunce
Great guide. Might try it out if I get bored any time soon, just to get something to boast about around the guild. I've only seen 2? survivors ever. Neither of them wanted to talk. >.>
Fain Dreamkiller
the only time i've seen a survivor title was when i was leveling my bro up, which isn't very legit.
My point: ask for favors before giving them
no really
My real point: very hard to get a legit survivor title and even harder to prove u did. Not something u should shoot for unless u just got an empty slot and want a hobbie between farmin fow and doin hoh

mmmk...question for all the doubters...
What would be proof enough? I just got to LVL 1 again on my newest ranger...and before i start doing all the quests and getting the hp in a legit way...what would be enough proof that you would believe that someone didn't farm the shit out of it?
Screenshots with henchies for every completed quest? I can do that. Screenshots of me beating my doppleganger? In Dunes of Despair killing a worm? A screenshot of ever boss killed and capped? What exactly would be enough proof of a non-farmed title?
