  • Nightfall Campaign Rush Guide (Consulate Docks to Abaddon in ~2 hours)

    Guide updated with videos of modern tactics. I won't be writing up a detailed walkthrough as I don't have time. But fortunately, a picture is worth a thousand words, and videos are just lots of pictures, so these videos should do the trick for anyone who wants to learn this.

    For some reason, I can't change the title. If any mod/admin can change it to the following or something similar, that would be dope: "Nightfall Rush Guide - 5 Accts From Kourna to Abaddon in 2.5 Hours"

  • Asdf's Campaign Rush Service 2.0 (Nightfall, EotN, and Winds of Change)

    Yo sup, I'm Asdf Trash Runner, the fastest trash you've ever seen. I offer campaign rushes for Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North, and some of Winds of Change.

    Read the information below. Then DM me on Discord (asdf_trash_runner) with the service you need and how many accounts you have that need the service. PLEASE DO NOT DM ME IN-GAME.

    Next Nightfall rush is scheduled for: Saturday, June 21st, starting at 10:00 New York City time (0/5 spots filled)

    Next Eye of the North rush is scheduled for: Saturday, May 31st, starting at 13:00 New York City time (1/5 spots filled)

    Next Winds of Change rush is scheduled for: Saturday, May 31st, starting at 10:00 New York City time (2/5 spots filled)

    I am open to scheduling at other times if you and your friends come to me with 3 or more accounts.

    Nightfall Rush (5 accounts, 1000e/account, 2.5 hours)
    • Before the service (complete the following on your own):
      1. Unlock Yohlon Haven.
      2. Equip your character with max armor.
      3. Read the Rules section at the bottom of this page.
    • During the service:
      1. Section 1 (40 minutes, AFKable): Unlocking outposts.
      2. Section 2 (110 minutes, No AFK): All quests and missions from Yohon Haven to Abbadon. You need to frequently talk to NPCs to advance the storyline, so you cannot AFK for this section.
        • Tihark Orchard: I will provide you a cupcake, triple summon, and instructions. You do not need any skills for this mission (the NPCs and the triple summon can easily kill everything). But if you want to be extra prepared, then set up your character with a few ritualist spirits and a self-heal before the rush. Also, watch this video if you need a refresher on what to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAJCLnXNitc
        • For the rest of the rush, running skills or cupcakes may occasionally be helpful but are not necessary. There are a few quests where you may need to run with the party and avoid enemies.
    • Missions: I will provide a time estimate at the start of each mission. You may AFK during a mission, but if I say the mission will take 4 minutes then you must be back in 4 minutes (not 5, 7, 10, etc.). Be ready to take the next quest once each mission is completed.
    • Quests: I will provide instructions for each quest. My instructions will often be different from the quest log. When your quest says "See _____ for your reward," accept the quest reward immediately.
      • Tick next to your name in the party menu when you have taken the next quest. If you have multiple accounts, just tick on one of them once they are all ready.
      • Sometimes I will say "One account talk to this NPC," or "One account follow me." Only one person needs to do anything in these cases. Everyone else can wait until further instructions.
    Eye of the North Rush (5 accounts, 1000e/account, 2.5 hours)
    • Before the service (complete the following on your own):
      1. Unlock Eye of the North. Enter the Hall of Monuments, talk to Gwen, and then trigger "The First Vision" cinematic at the Scrying Pool. Talk to Ogden Stonehealer in the Hall of Monuments.
      2. Equip your character with max armor.
      3. Read the Rules section at the bottom of this page.
    • During the service:
      1. Section 1 (30 minutes, AFKable): EotN Tour
      2. Section 1 (25 minutes, No AFK): Ebon Vanguard and Norn Quests.
      3. Section 2 (60 minutes, AFKable): Norn and Asura Quests.
      4. Section 3 (25 minutes, No AFK): G.O.L.E.M. and Heart of Shiverpeaks.
      5. Section 4 (15 minutes, AFKable): "Destruction's Depths" and "A Time for Heroes."
    • Missions: I will provide a time estimate at the start of each mission. You may AFK during a mission, but if I say the mission will take 4 minutes then you must be back in 4 minutes (not 5, 7, 10, etc.). Be ready to take the next quest once each mission is completed.
    • Quests: I will provide instructions for each quest. My instructions will often be different from the quest log. When your quest says "See _____ for your reward," accept the quest reward immediately.
      • Tick next to your name in the party menu when you have taken the next quest. If you have multiple accounts, just tick on one of them once they are all ready.
    • Reputation Ranks: At the end of this service, you will typically be R3 Deldrimor, R3 asura, R2 Ebon Vanguard, and R2 Norn before turning in your completed Hero's Handbook.
    • Free Saturday May 31st, 2025 Rush: If you are interested in the rush on May 31st, please DM me on discord with the word "potato" so that I know you actually read this thread.
    Factions Rush and Winds of Change Act I (5 accounts, 1400e/account, 3.5 hours)

    The Winds of Change rush is split up into 3 sections. Each section may be purchased individually.

      • Section 2 (5 accounts, 250e/account, 0.75 hours, AFKable): Unlock Zin Ku Corridor, Seafarer's Rest, and Durheim Archives. Complete Minister Cho's Estate to unlock Ran Musu Gardens. Unlock and complete Zen Daijun. Complete Vizunah Square to unlock Dragon's Throat.

    Rules
    • Payment
      • If I do not already know you, payment is due upfront.
      • I have listed prices in ecto, but am open to payment in armbraces (33e = 1a, 5/2025), rocks, consets, etc. (negotiated in advance).
      • I am open to running fewer accounts than the number listed, but prices may be adjusted accordingly.
    • Set up GWToolbox to automatically skip cinematics: "Settings" > "Game Settings" > "Automatically skip cinematics" (10th checkbox in v6.22). You cannot AFK if you do not have this set up.
    • Consumables/Summons: Do not use summoning stones, party-wide consumables, or party-wide morale boosts (honeycomb, powerstones, etc.).
    • Dual Vamps: Other runners may have asked you to wield a vamp or dual vamp weapon for outpost running, but for my campaign rushes it is best if you do not wield a vamp or dual vamp weapon.
    • Technical Issues: If you lose Internet connection or your computer crashes during the service, message me on Discord (asdf_trash_runner) as soon as possible.
    • Campaign rushes are not survivor-friendly.
    • Providing Login Details: If you are comfortable providing login details, then I can provide these services without any input on your part.

    Other services: If you would like any services not listed, please DM me on Discord (asdf_trash_runner) with the service you need and send an offer. I will not respond if you do not send an offer.

    Interested in running yourself through Nightfall? Here's a document I'm working on with some skips and dialogs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A1…dit?usp=sharing

  • Asdf's Fast Factions, Nightfall, EotN, and WoC Campaign Rush

    Yo yo yo, I'm Asdf Trash Runner, the fastest trash you've ever. I started running in early 2024, and over the last year I have:

    • Developed builds and tactics for a Nightfall rush (up to 5 runnee accounts from Consulate Docks to the end of Nightfall in about 2.25 hours).
    • Optimized the Factions rush for 6 runnee accounts in under 45 minutes (although I believe a 37:xx is possible - https://gwscr.fbgmguild.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3274)
    • Developed builds and tactics for an EotN rush (up to 5 runnee accounts from "The First Vision" cinematic to "A Time for Heroes" in about 2.5 hours).
    • Developed builds and tactics for rushing 4 accounts through the first 17 quests of Winds of Change in 2 hours (and if I kept at it, I believe I could have developed tactics for rushing 6 accounts in 3 hours).

    I have made lots of imaginary video game money from these services, far more than I ever imagined possible just a year ago. Even Osiris is jealous of my immense wealth. And I had lots of fun developing these builds and tactics. The theorycrafting, testing, and refining are what make Guild Wars so alluring to me. It was very enjoyable to rush Nightfall and EotN when there was still optimization to be done... but now I no longer see room for improvement. I've grown quite bored, and perhaps it is a temporary feeling, but I want each rush to be done as soon as I start it. So I've decided it is time to close this thread.

  • Nightfall Campaign Rush Guide (Consulate Docks to Abaddon in ~2 hours)

    Yo sup, I'm Asdf Trash Runner, the fastest trash you've ever seen. I started running when I returned to Guild Wars in early 2024. After I learned all the outpost runs as well as the Factions rush, I started to realize that there was a market for rushing the Nightfall campaign; while a Desolation/Vabbi tour definitely speeds up the campaign, some customers of mine were willing to pay for a full carry through all of the quests and missions. And so I got to work studying Nightfall, and after a few months I had developed tactics for rushing 5 accounts through the campaign from Yohlon Haven to Abaddon in about 2.5 hours (the title of this thread says 2 hours, and for some reason I can't change the title so just pretend it doesn't say that ;)).

    I mainly created this guide to help other runners who want to offer this service. That said, you should be an experienced runner before offering this rush. Be experienced in the Kourna/Desolation/Vabbi tour and also be able to do the Factions rush (Kaineng Center to Divine Path) in less than an hour. Here's a great resource for beginner runners: Relative Velocity's beginner guide to running

    Here's a run I recorded in May of 2025. Be sure to read the descriptions for some notes. It is not a perfect run, and there are some small changes here and there that I'm thinking about making.

    In the rush, I employ a tech that I call cutscene strats:

    This tech allows for the customer to simply take primary quests, twiddle their thumbs, and then accept the reward. It is applicable to most primary quests after Consulate Docks. Read the video description for an in-depth explanation. Cutscene strats require an alt account. I use cutscene strats even for very simple quests because I want the customer to do as little work as possible (I want the rush to be as easy for them as possible, and frankly the run is faster when the customer has less to do).

    This rush uses anywhere from 75-100e (June 2024 prices) worth of consets, PCons, summoning stones (mainly Guards), and sometimes seals. With the amount people are willing to pay for this rush, you should absolutely be using these wherever they make sense, and often they are required in order for the builds to function as intended. When you are playing in NM with cons up, enemy AI is very "timid" due to the speed boost from the BU. Additionally, you have significant damage reduction to the armor. Therefore, when you have cons up there are a lot of aggressive moves that you and your heroes can get away with in order to complete missions quickly and you can have a team comp that lacks essentially any prot.

    Still offering this, but see my new thread for all running services

    Hey everyone!

    I'm offering a Nightfall campaign rush service starting from Consulate Docks. I can finish the campaign from there in 2 hours - 2 hours 15 minutes. It's handy if you want to get a character to DoA, unlock HM, get Primeval armor, and/or recruit Razah.

    This is not an AFK service. There will be times here and there where you can AFK, but for most of the rush you need to present to take quests and accept quest rewards. There's also one quest towards the start of the rush where you'll also need to follow the party around as we kill some enemies.

    The goal of this rush is to get to the end as fast as possible. My goal is not to get masters on every mission or unlock every single outpost (I skip Camp Hojanu, Pogahn Passage, Dajkah Inlet, Nundu Bay, Yahnur Market, Mihanu Township, Basalt Grotto, Dasha Vestibule, Lair of the Forgotten, Shadow Nexus, and Gate of Nightfallen Lands).

    The rush can be split into shorter parts if needed.

    If you want to start the rush from a point in the campaign after Consulate Docks, I can start there too. Or if you have a Proph/Factions character, I can start from the quest Securing Champion's Dawn.

    Currently charging 700e/account (or equivalent) for Consulate Docks to the end.

    I can run up to three accounts at once. I have to use more cons and it's more difficult the more accounts I take, so pay per account is still the same regardless of how many accounts I'm running.

    You can contact me here or in-game (IGN: Asdf Trash Runner).

    And to address some questions I've received: Yes, in this rush I complete every quest and mission from Consulate Docks to the end. No secret game-breaking shortcuts, sorry.

    Additionally, I offer an Istan rush for Nightfall characters. Chahbek Village -> Consulate Docks mission unlocked in under 90 minutes (maybe even under 75 minutes). Reach out for details.

    Also offering most other runs and missions in the game. Ask and I can probably do it.
