Basics: 400 faction, 150g and 2000xp is earned by doing the quest Scouting the Forest which is available just outside the portal from Lutgardis Conservatory into Melandru's Hope. This quest can be done safely and quickly by sending heroes and henchmen into the various locations that need scouting while you stay near the portal and accept the quest and reward.

I use 3 R/A heroes as runners. You can use other professions. Important thing is Shadow Form + constant/near constant speed boost. I used to use E/A with flame djinns haste till they nerfed it down to 25%. In addition to the 3 heroes, you want to take the 2 warrior henchmen.

The skills for R/A heroes are below.

The key to making the runs reasonably quickly is to bind commands to the keyboard. This is done on the Controls tab of the Options window (F11). I've set up the following:

Flag controls
 * F5 --> Action: Command Hero 1
 * F6 --> Action: Command Hero 2
 * F7 --> Action: Command Hero 3
 * F8 --> Action: Command Party

This way I can set the initial flags quickly when I load into Melandru's Hope.

Hero Skills (all on numeric keypad)
 * Num Lock --> Action: Order Hero 1 to use Skill 1
 * / --> Action: Order Hero 2 to use Skill 1
 * * --> Action: Order Hero 3 to use Skill 1
 * 7 --> Action: Order Hero 1 to use Skill 2
 * 8 --> Action: Order Hero 2 to use Skill 2
 * 9 --> Action: Order Hero 3 to use Skill 2
 * 4 --> Action: Order Hero 1 to use Skill 3
 * 5 --> Action: Order Hero 2 to use Skill 3
 * 6 --> Action: Order Hero 3 to use Skill 3
 * 1 --> Action: Order Hero 1 to use Skill 4
 * 2 --> Action: Order Hero 2 to use Skill 4
 * 3 --> Action: Order Hero 3 to use Skill 4

Steps Important: Do not take the quest yet. Taking the quest causes more mobs to spawn, these can kill your heroes and henches so don't do it.

Make the Mission Map ( "U" key ) fairly big so you can see everything you need to see at once. GW will remember your map settings so you only need to do this once. You're going to be setting the hero flags on the Mission Map because the compass doesn't have enough range.

Set the initial flags in the positions below. You don't have to be exact.



As soon as flags are set, I start off the Shadow Form and Dodge for each of the three heroes. (top and second row of numeric keypad)

When Dodge expires, I then start Zojun's Haste on all three heroes. (third row of numeric keypad. 4->6)

Shadow Form should finish just before Zojun's Haste does. When Shadow Form finishes, its time to move the flag for hero 2, to the stairs.



Zojun's Haste will expire shortly after setting the flag, so I then hit Storm's Embrace on all three heroes (fourth row of numeric keypad 1->3).

Storm's Embrace will last around long enough for Dodge to recharge. Once it has, I activate that with the second row on the keypad (7->9).

When Dodge expires, Zojun's Haste is about ready so that gets actived last.

Once I've activated the Zojun's Haste its safe to take the quest from Scoutmaster Arne. The quest reward is available around the time Zojun's Haste expires.

Total time elapsed is 50 seconds of running, plus the time it takes to set the flags initially and the time it takes to accept the reward at the end, plus zoning.

And then you just repeat this over and over and over and over again until your mind explodes.
