Back up and running after some computer issues. Now offering the Sunspear farming skip as a standalone service as well as a variety of other niche runs.

Hey, i want the Factions Rush.

Hey, hope you saw the update to my post. Can't run at the moment due to technical issues.

Now offering EotN campaign rush. Up to 5 accounts at once.

Hi, I'm Asdf Trash Runner, the fastest trash you've ever seen. Below are the services I currently offer.

If you are interested in the Nightfall or EotN Campaign Rush, then please read the information below before reaching out to me. Once you've reviewed it, I would prefer you DM me on Discord (asdf_trash_runner). If you DM me in-game, I'll probably be busy and won't see your message.

Nightfall Campaign Rush

I can run up to 5 accounts from Consulate Docks to the end of Nightfall in about 2.5 hours. I charge 20a per account. Let me know if you are interested in this service and the number of accounts you have. I will schedule a run once I have at least 3 accounts signed up. I typically run this service on Monday at 2:30 P.M. New York/20:30 Berlin. Let me know if you are not available at that time.

• Before the service (complete the following on your own):
  1. Unlock the Consulate Docks mission by turning in the quest "The Time is Nigh."
     • Prophecies and Factions characters: You only need to complete the four quests starting with "Battle Preparations."
       • For "A Land of Heroes," immediately run north and then west, skipping the initial fight and the landing points. Capture the two war camps in the quarry, and the quest will then be complete.
     • Nightfall characters: This means you must complete all primary quests and missions on Istan.
       • If you get to the quest "The Time is Nigh" and you are not yet a Sunspear Captain or level 17, just find someone to ferry you into Consulate Docks (even if you already have the outpost unlocked). After the ferry, your quest will be marked "Completed."
  2. Equip your character with max armor.
  3. 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.
• During the service:
  • Section 1 (45 minutes, AFK): Consulate Docks and unlocking outposts.
  • Section 2 (95 minutes, No AFK): "Hunted!" quest (the first quest after Consulate Docks) to Abbadon. You need to frequently talk to NPCs to advance the storyline, so you cannot AFK for this section. However, most quests require minimal interaction from you.
    • Tihark Orchard: For Tihark Orchard, I will provide you with a cupcake, a triple summon, and instructions for the quickest completion. You do not need any skills for this mission (the NPCs in the mission and the triple summon are more than enough to kill everything, and you will be safe as long as you have max armor). Still, if you want to be extra prepared, I recommend setting up your character with a few ritualist spirits (SoS, Bloodsong, Vampirism, Pain, etc.) and a self-heal before the rush.
    • For the rest of the rush, running skills (Dash, Natural Stride) or 5-10 cupcakes may occasionally be helpful but are not necessary. There are 3 quests where you may need to run with the party and avoid enemies.
• Missions: Please do not help during missions. I will usually 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.). Please 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. Please 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.
• Consumables/Summons: Please do not use summoning stones, party-wide consumables, or party-wide morale boosts (honeycomb, powerstones, etc.).
• Dual Vamps: It is best if you do not wield a dual vamp weapon.
• Technical Issues: If you lose Internet connection or your computer crashes during the service, then please message me on Discord (asdf_trash_runner) as soon as possible.
• Due to groups that spawn close to portals, this service is not survivor-friendly.

Eye of the North Campaign Rush

I can run up to 5 accounts through the Eye of the North campaign in about 2 hours. I charge 20a per account. Let me know if you are interested in this service and the number of accounts you have. I will schedule a run once I have at least 3 accounts signed up. I typically run this service on Tuesday at 2:30 P.M. New York/20:30 Berlin. Let me know if you are not available at that time.

• Before the service (complete the following on your own):
  1. Unlock Boreal Station. Update "Against the Destroyers" by talking to Jora in Ice Cliff Chasms outside Boreal Station.
  2. 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.
  3. Get an EotN tour.
  4. Take "Tracking the Nornbear" from Jora outside of EotN. Take "Finding Gadd," "Lab Space," and "A Little Help" from Livia, Lork, and Plaxx in Vlox's Falls. Take "Search for the Ebon Vanguard" from Olfun Longeye in Longeye's Ledge.
  5. 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.
• During the service:
  • Section 1 (22 minutes, No AFK): Ebon Vanguard and Norn Quests.
  • Section 2 (45 minutes, AFK): Norn and Asura Quests.
  • Section 3 (24 minutes, No AFK): G.O.L.E.M. and Heart of Shiverpeaks.
  • Section 4 (15 minutes, AFK): "Destruction's Depths" and "A Time for Heroes."
• Missions: Please do not help during missions. I will usually 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.). Please 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. Please 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.
• Consumables/Summons: Please do not use summoning stones, party-wide consumables, or party-wide morale boosts (honeycomb, powerstones, etc.).
• Dual Vamps: It is best if you do not wield a dual vamp weapon.
• Technical Issues: If you lose Internet connection or your computer crashes during the service, then please message me on Discord (asdf_trash_runner) as soon as possible.
• Due to groups that spawn close to portals, this service is not survivor-friendly.

I can run up to 6 accounts from Kaineng Center to the end of Factions in 40-43 minutes. I charge 5a per account. Let me know if you are interested in this service and the number of accounts you have. I will schedule a run once I have at least 3 accounts signed up. I typically run this service on Sunday at 3:00 P.M. New York/21:00 Berlin. Let me know if you are not available at that time.

January 2025 Edit: Currently re-writing this and recording new videos. Updated guide and builds soon. Removed most of the information on the quests and missions for the time being so nobody spends time setting this up incorrectly.

Hey people, I've been optimizing the Nightfall campaign rush for the past few months. I'm probably going to take a break from Guild Wars, so I want to put out this guide so that other runners can hopefully offer this service and improve upon my tactics. Also wanted to put this guide out there since there will be useful information for people that are just casually playing through the campaign.

With my current builds and tactics, I can run from Consulate Docks to Abbadon in 2-2.5 hours, the exact time depending on whether I'm running 1, 2, or 3 accounts.

To preface, 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 is a run I recorded about 2 months ago. Many of the builds and tactics have since been improved upon and the overall speed is improved, but this run is still decent. I'm not going to write up in-depth tactics for each mission since it would take too long, so refer to these videos:

Also, review all of the Nightfall mission records. A lot of the strategies from these records can be applied to running the missions, even in NM with heroes: https://gwscr.fbgmguild.com/viewforum.php?f=34

And here is a "new" tech that I'll be calling 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).

Also, I highly recommend Toolbox for this rush as it will allow you to instantly load hero team builds. See the attached text document for all of my hero builds. The build will work whether you're running 1 customer or 3. Heroes 5 and 6 are optional on all builds. My builds vary depending on the quest and mission. I recommend against running the exact same builds for all quests and missions.

Last thing, 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.
