Talk:Guide to farming Lightbringer promotion points

From Guild Wars Wiki

I corrected the walk-through section where it was previously stated that in an 8-person team, each person gains less experience and gold, but the farming is faster. In fact, the experience gained is exactly the same in all respects, regardless of the number of players. This is true of every area of Guild Wars. Pucktrapper 09:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I think that is wrong but since I'm at work I can't test it. Even Experience says it is split.--Aratak 13:35, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

If 1 person + 7 hero/hench kill something, the player gets 1/8 of the total exp. available based on their level. If 8 people kill something, each gets 1/8 as well. However, if 1 player, no other player/hero/hench in the area kills something, that player gets all of the available exp. Solo farm any high-level areas, you'll routinely see "+256" exp numbers when things die.--Fourth Horseman 13:39, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Entry

Sadly one can't go back and get these bounties if you have gone on through more difficult levels (just like you couldn't get bounties while leveling later in NF after L15 - you were considered to good to need it and were told so by the guard who used to hand out bounties.). I just completed the mission through the Vortex. But one can still find reliable Lightbringer bounty givers outside on the bone palace and at the Dzagonur Bastion. There is a quest in there that changes the normal enemies outside to Margonites (and you get 4 allies to help you fight), You can now fight clerics and executioners. All should give you LB points but I watched my LB meter but it it did not move my LB "meter" up a single point after several major battles & victories (probably because a few LB points were part of the payoff) So skip that quest for now. The only thing I can find, as slow as it is to simply map in to the Dzagonur Bastion kill, get your bounty and kill as many Djjin and Roaring Ethers as possible and then map back in and walk back out and repeat endlessly. This seems to be the only way to farm for someone like me who has blundered his was past the easy way to get up to the max LB level. If anyone knows of anything better or easier (I'd love to do it with Wurms but can't find a BIG enough place for it. The Bone Palace only offers up a few and the res shrine is on the wrong side. I can tell when I'm getting LB points and so far the D.B. city farming strategy is the only one that works consistently and easily. Thescottguy 11:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)thescottguy

I could be wrong but were you in HM?

[edit] Video

So, I got bored the other night and decided to make a video demonstrating the normal run with all heroes/henchmen. Link is http://files.filefront.com/LBSS+farm+hhwmv/;10609293;/fileinfo.html . I dont know enough markup to put it on the main page (plus i'd assume someone with more wiki experience would like to look at it first to make sure its up to standards). If it is, I don't mind it going on youtube or anything. Noelahg 17:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Points

Myself and several other people in my group checked last night to see how many points are earned on the Sulfurous Wastes run. It is exactly 666 points, not 630 as the article states. This has been tested twice by me and three other times by group mates, so I am sure of it. - Killaya --76.188.182.17 23:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
