How long do you think it would take if I do Legendary Survivor on my almost level 14 elementalist/ranger with the quest Farmer Hamnet(PreSear)?-- Icyyy Blue   03:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It's straightforward math. To simplify, let's assume that you start at L20 instead of L14. You need 1,337,500 XP and you can get 32 xp for each L16 foe, so you have to kill under 42,000 foes. Let's oversimplify some more and say that Hammet's quest spawn about 20 Vanguard foes, which means you'd have to run it nearly 2100 times. If that takes you 10 minutes/run, that's about 350 hours or 43 eight-hour days of doing nothing but farming XP. Only 5 minutes/run? Call it 21 days.


 * Since you're starting at L14, you will be able to shave a tiny bit of time. (Since there's only 70 xKP from L14&rarr;L20, it might save you 3-5% of your total time; not enough to matter really.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 03:57, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * So since im level 14 itll take 21 days if I go 5 minutes a run, but the quest only happens once every nine days.-- Icyyy Blue  User IcyyyBlue Elementalist Blue.png 09:24, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, my apologies: you named a quest, so I presumed you meant farming the foes.


 * If all you are doing is a single quest every nine days, then you are probably getting around 1,250 xp each time it comes around (1,000 for the reward and +/- 250 from killing Vanguard foes) requires roughly 1050 runs. Since the quest comes up roughly 40x/year... well, twenty-six years is a long time. You really want to do some farming or some of the other quests. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 15:58, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Ahh Ill just do the quests with a friend so I wont die on the quests :) tyvm!-- Icyyy Blue  User IcyyyBlue Elementalist Blue.png 07:05, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Books
Would it be worth noting that you can turn in hard mode story books for good exp rewards? It would be a good synergy with Guardian Title and all 6 story books together yield 517,500 experience (~39% needed for Legendary Survivor) 94.253.139.46 14:30, 16 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It's been there for a while, under Other high yield rewards. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 15:34, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
