LBS Lornars Worm Trick 1

Hello everyone!

For those of you who don’t know me, my most common in game name is Sir Craig Gordon. I am an officer of LBS, (Lady Blue Steels Running Academy). Our guild is still here but unfortunately we are no longer taking new members.

Many of you know about our old thread, the LBSRA thread which is now closed.

Some of our most closely guarded running tricks and strategies were developed by me personally. I have decided to post one of these in particular as a gift to all of the Guild Wars community. I will also allow access to the video showing exactly how it works. The name of this trick is THE LORNARS WORM TRICK #1. I have decided to post this one in particular for several reasons.

1. It was discovered and developed by me personally
2. It deals with Droknars Run, the most popular run in the guild wars game.
3. To prove that LBS has a lot more up their sleeves than a simple running build.
4. The fear that someone else will discover it and post it anyway.
5. The fact that most of the LBS runners don't really need it anyway. It is more of a trick to get around a problem that a great runner with great running skills can negotiate without having to use. It is the perfect solution for beginning and practicing runners.
6. The fact that it has one great disadvantage to it. And that disadvantage is that you need to intentionally die one time to get it to work consistently.
7. You may ask “But won’t this cause even more totally unqualified runners claiming they can make it to Droknar’s”? Nah. It won’t last long. Shortly after this posting, Arenanet will undoubtedly step in and do their dirty work. Nerf city.

The Lornars Worm Trick # 1 is a solution to get through the single hardest part of the entire Droknars run. This is the first Frost Wurm area in Lornars Pass heading up into the Avicara corridor. This trick allows you to CONSISTENTLY get through this area easily regardless of spawn type! How? It completely removes all Frost Wurms from the area! They are gone! Totally gone! And, if they are gone, that also means there is no chance of a chaser spawn to follow you all the way to the first troll cave.

Check the video out here. LORNARS WORM TRICK 1 . Make sure you right click and "Save Target As...". Its too big to stream directly. It’s really interesting to see what happens if I do say so myself.

One more thing. I am asking that you please do not post here saying “No way! I discovered that trick first”, “I already knew about that trick”, “That was my idea”, and so on and so on. If you feel the absolute need to do this, make sure that you prove it by stating exactly where you have it posted and that your post has a date earlier than the date of this post.

Thanks, good luck, and happy running!

So?

What's the news? An ex guildie of mine only just gave me a droks run yesterday as part of his guild wars retirement run, and he comment how easy it was due to the ice golems they removed from the worm cave.

If anything it's gotten easier.

Nothing to see here, oh, and running is old news in Cantha, please move along and get on with the times.

So play in Cantha. You are correct in that there is no running there in the usual sense. Unfortunately, you are wrong about Droknar's Run. Ice Golems have not been removed from the worm cave.

Very Commendable, information was made to be free!


heh, while i havent run for money for a long time, it will be nice to be able to run guildies canthans easyer

I don't get it.....this post is so pointless, it should be closed.

This belong in the Tyrian Explorers section...

Or you can just get a regular run. 15 ectos or just use the free guide on these forums...

I've only heard of Lady Blue Steels running service, and I've been an active member of GWG since July 2005.

Am I the only person who finds it reprehensible that "ectos" have become currency? *sigh*

Um... does this mean ANYTHING TO YOU PEOPLE?
Citadel is only trying to help you all out, who cares if you guys were taught by your friends, do you need to tell the whole world? This is for all the unfortunate people out there that try there hardest to figure out a way to do this run, thanks too Citadel, there fun will now be complete! I personally think this is a very considerate thing that Citadel is doing, please be considerate back..

I'm at school, and won't be able to get to a home computer until tomorrow to watch the vid. Anyone care to explain what the 'trick' is?

Worm never even follows me to the middle of avicara cave... so he only appears once-twice... they fixed his ai

Im sorry about the typo. You are correct. Its Lady Blue Steels running service. corrected.

Thank you for your spreading of knowledge.

Glad to see someone sticks up for the nice guy - this is a forum for sharing cuz "we are caring" to make the game more fun...wth is wrong with people that have to put down no matter what -omg someone shared the wealth put them down- jeez don't ruin it for everyone ! I love to come here to learn not read crap comments.

Thank you for the Post Citadel---- We all know it takes time just to type it up...let alone make the video.

I apprecitate it

thank you for sharing your information

Citadel,you managed to run through there,but do you know if it's possible to fight through there?


Btw,thanks for the vid,that's quite a good trick.

Thank you, this will be useful to a lot of people. It is in the wrong section, but that can be corrected easily. Stop with the negative comments because he did a nice thing for everyone who is having trouble with the run.

i have fought up from rankor to beacons with henchies but never down to rankor from beacons

I can't use avi...anyone got a link to a codec for quicktime?

ARE YOU GUYS INSANE!!! Have you seen the video??!!!
ITS AMAZING AND IT TOTALLY WORKS.

Its a well put together short video with edited narration that explains an AMAZING way to EASILY get through this section. If your not a pro runner, you can now get guildies and friends through this totally unpredictable section. I see posts here by people that obviously have not seen the video and/or have NO CLUE as to what the AI actually is in that section and could not possibly actually be runners. Why must you guys act like this?

I am a pro runner and I really apprecitate this NEW idea for getting through the ONLY REALLY HARD section of the run.

THANK YOU..

Thanks for the post Citadel. It's worth sharing good info and I hope some of the responses here don't put you off on doing it again.

I've heard of it been done. But that was months ago (way before Christmas). Before they added all these things in to hinder droks runners.

Now there is just no way in hell to do it with 6 people, unless you have a foolproof plan for killing 3-2 wurms and some Avicara at the same time or an incredibly well organised team. Not to mention to insane spawns in Dreadnoughts Drift. A full team of 8 would struggle to kill all the Stone Summit Carvers/Rangers to the right of the spawn without casualties, let alone having a countdown to total annihilation (when the massive group of Heretics jumps you). Even if you got through there Snake Dance has absolutely massive groups of Giants and Trolls. Seriously if you could get 55farmers to that spot they'd have a field day slaughtering the 20-30 trolls, most of which attack at once.

I posted a build that gets by all spawns awhile back.. d/l this video though see what's up- sounds more like exploit than anything =] that's the do or die part of the run

Wow. How are people crying becuase Citadel decided to share some information that someone not as LEET as the rest of you complainers may not have known. Nice work Citadel, I, for one, thank you for sharing.

Anyway, to summarize what happens, you go into the worm area, aggro all the worms, drag them to another area to the left side, die intentionally, eat a candy cane (or not) upon rezzing, then go back through the area on the right side and the worms will not pop up unless you aggro the "other" area that you died in. I have tried simply running away from them and "leaving" them in this other area, but they follow 50% of the time. If you die however, they become "stuck" right in the area that you died in. The video shows it pretty clearly.

Ignore the flamers, ignore them and they will have nothing to say back.


I have not yet watched the video(d/lin) but so far from the reposnses, I see that it works. Thank you for sharing this.

No, you could not.

i haven't done a droks run in months makes me think i should give them try again. I just wonder are they still popular? I know a character can just get ran to LA far cheaper and if the player has factions they can get to the first city and get armor there. I guess the run can still have many customers for Faction characters coming over and want to get down to droks for elites and the last missions to get to Perdition rock for more elites. A question to all players still doing the droks run is it still as popular?

anyways cool trick i never heard of it but i haven't run droks in so long i probably would get stuck somewere else

I thought LBS had all given up on running and just stuck to IWAY in HA instead.

You make it sound like you are the only person that can run to droknars xD, beacons perch is full of runners that do droknars, none of them gifted at all, its a pretty straight-forward run people have been doing for months.

Yeah, well I was just trying to share an interesting piece of information for other runners that I knew for a fact was not previously known. I tried to post it in Community forums but it never showed up. I got tired of waiting. For those of you who actually "see" the video and appreciate it, thank you for your kind comments and I hope it helps you out somewhat.

I have never been run from Beacons to Droks and I have never run a character to Droks and probably never will.

However, if a board member wants to help out and share some info of benefit to other members then they should be applauded not flamed. Some of you should be very ashamed of your behaviour in this thread.

I don't think you read the first post.
This wasnt a thread for helping others, it was a bragging thread, hence being posted here.

The "trick" isn't really necessary, and most people who bothered to fight down Lornar's have already experienced it. Another unnecessary "trick" for Lornars is dying to spawn near the exit--it isn't all that special.

its well known that LBS has the best runners, no question, so i cant beleive that anyone would critize them for sharing information that they beleive will help us. nobody asked them to do this, and who cares if you already know about it. and dont say all information should be free to the public since there is a reason thats they are the best runners and that is because they have improved methods of running, and they are just trying to help us and help us improve our own skills.

and let them run the guild however they want and dont bitch because you wanted in but you couldnt afford it, and im sure you guild has their own way of doing things. if you think about it, 15 ectoes is nothing compared to the amount of money you would make after you learn how to do the runs in the game as effectively as possible.

back on topic, ive always had trouble there, so thanks alot citadel.

It's always nice when people share their builds and strategies. No one should be criticized for that. But the fact is that running is now essentially useless. Why would get a Droks run when you can get the same deal in Cantha? So you are not going to make that much money anymore.

OP ~ It's nice that you shared your strategy, but I would have thought much higher of you as a person had you shared it earlier when it was relevent and that you hadn't postured yourself so highly. I don't think rude comments by posters are appropriate but you opened the door pretty wide for that with the tone of your post and the mention of the L33T guild with it's ecto app entrance garbage. A small lesson in humility would make your accomplishments more respectable.

Honestly people!

This website is not for pointless personal arguments. This website is for DISCUSSION. I just deleted half this thread and I did not get even one reported post. If you see personal attacks and useless flames, use the report button. It's that little triangle in the bottom left corner of the poster's information. ()

I've spent far too much time on this thread already.
