Getting nice survivor numbers[edit]

User Foo-xp-flex.jpg

This is described as if you're going for a round number, but can of course be adjusted to reach any number you wish.

Step 0 - Get close to your target value[edit]

But don't push it. A few thousands or tens of thousands is fine.

Step 1 - Get to a multiple of 100[edit]

Set yourself as a damage dealer, and your heroes as healers/protectors that do not deal any damage. Outside of ToA there are Reed Stalkers that will reward you 6xp if you're in a party of 8, and 7xp if you're in a party of 7. By adding 6s and 7s you can reach any value of 30 or higher. Use that to reach a multiple of 100. This will require killing at most 21 of them (with the right party sizes).

Step 2 - Get to a multiple of 5000[edit]

Outside The Marketplace there are Jade Brotherhood Knights that will get you 100xp each if you solo them. Use the GoM Bonding setup, (just you and the two bonders), get your health to 55, and add some damage dealing skills to yourself. Get out. If the knights are too close (so that the bonders might catch agro), restart. Set up bonds, grab agro, and kill them. It is wise to make sure you're comfortable with that before gaining a lot of survivor points. This will require killing at most 49 of them, unless you're comfortable with doing it in hm, where they give 300xp each, then 17 can be enough (combining nm and hm).

If available, quests that can be completed a head of time with their reward pending could make this simpler and safer.

Step 3 - Get the rest[edit]

Multiples of 5000 can be easily and safely gained by using Prismatic Gelatinous Material, acquired by other toons, to complete the Ooze Pit quest without getting near any mobs.

Step 4[edit]

Die.

Testing LB2[edit]

Seems to be possible with 155 health and the DV LoD hero described in User:Foo/GoM/Theory. Under more testing.


Unstructured notes[edit]

on damage output[edit]

How can damage be improved?

  • Could always be improved with primary ranger with 16 BM. Should try to estimate by how much.
  • Theoretically QZ improves it, but it's unlikely to be meaningful.
  • How good is Symbolic Celerity really? Maybe a better alternative could be found. Maybe another sig.
