[edit] Page Move

Page is norn rank/farming locations to match the other rank titles that have farming guides, the proposed move can be done but i would suggest updateing all farming locations (5 in total i think) MafooUK 16:02, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'll go mark them. Backsword 06:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additional Shrines

I've seen conflicting thought on this- is it better to grab as many additional shrines as possible hoping to increase your hunt rank bonus asap, or should you wait until you're done for the extra points awarded? --Ari 12:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

It is considred better to grab the additional Shrines after gaining 150 kills, even counting in the chance of getting rank ups

• in the best possible scenario (getting a rank up from a shrine as soon as you reach it) you get about 700 points in hard mode.
• if you wait till you hit 150 kills and go collect from 3 shrines (same number as best possible scenario) and get only points you get 750 points in hard mode.
• if you get unlucky and collect shrine bonuses and don't get rank ups you get about 300ish points

the points start to rack up rapidly after about 250+ kills when most of your party will be at rank 3 or 4, and you can engadge bosses to get the full kill bonus.

oh and statisically if you get hunt rampage, try to furfil it even if you have to ignore going to shrines, you will net gain more points (from the double)

i could plot a graph of all the possible combinations, but generally you net gain more points by waiting to 150 kills before collecting (and on the olfstead map you can reach 4 shrines at aproximately 150 kills (excludeing starting shrine) and you can quickly get 2 more shrines in about 50 kills.

don't forget this is my opinion not a gospal so if you feal you get more points by shrine grabbing as soon as you can, please do that, at some point i might do a statistical analasys, but to be honest to many factors, and can't really be bothered as my gut fealing does me well enough ----MafooUK 20:52, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Time

Anyone have a average run time for this NM and HM (saying you only do 250kills then bosses and then shrines) ----Turns To Despair Xx 10:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

NM took me and my other half about an hour and a half but we had breaks and interuptions (kids) so could probably do it faster. We also only took 2 real people and 6 heroes. Melhei Haemathet [ contributions ] 21:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NM or HM

The guide seems to quote completing the run with approximately 400 kills and 3000-4000 points. however fails to mention if this is in normal or hard mode

The rep gained for killing a boss (250+ kills gives 300 points) is consistent with NM, so I'd assume that the rest is for NM. Alaris 19:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I realised it was definately NM after a stint both in NM & HM last night HM seems to be around 6000 - 8000 mark but not completed one HM run yet Melhei Haemathet [ contributions ] 21:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hunt Ramapage

I get 450 points per boss w/ or without Hunt Rampage (while having party r4) on HM. Is this a bug or intended? --Risus 19:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Seems normal! In NM the first shrine bonus is 20, in HM it is 30.

[edit] NM/HM

Is it better to start farming in NM or HM? I mean, which one generates the most net Norn Rep points per second? (note, I have r4 & HM, I want to know if I should farm HM or NM)Crimmastermind 08:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
