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

    PRICES FOR MOST SERVICES WILL BE INCREASING ON MAY 1ST.

    Hi, I'm Asdf Trash Runner, the fastest trash you've ever seen and creator of the Nightfall and Eye of the North campaign rushes. Here are the services I currently offer.

    Read the information below before messaging me. Once you've read it, DM me on Discord (asdf_trash_runner) with the service you are interested in and how many accounts you have that need the service. Do not DM me in-game - I'll likely be busy.

    I will usually wait until I have the maximum number of accounts signed up before doing a campaign rush. However, I am open to rushing fewer accounts on short notice if you send me a good offer.

    Factions Rush (5a/account, up to 6 accounts, 45 minutes)

    I can run up to 6 accounts from Kaineng Center to the end of Factions in under 45 minutes.

    • Before the service (please complete the following on your own):
      1. Unlock Kaineng Center.
      2. Read the Add-On Services section at the bottom of this page to see if any of my additional services are relevant.
      3. Read the Rules section at the bottom of this page.
    Nightfall Campaign Rush (20a/account, up to 6 accounts, 2.25 hours)

    I can run up to 5 accounts from Consulate Docks to the end of Nightfall in about 2.25 hours. I can run 6 accounts if I have login details for one of them, but the rush will take a little bit longer.

    • 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: Complete the four quests starting with "Battle Preparations."
        • Nightfall characters: Complete all primary quests and missions on Istan.
      2. Equip your character with max armor.
      3. Read the Add-On Services section at the bottom of this page to see if any of my additional services are relevant.
      4. Read the Rules section at the bottom of this page.
    • During the service:
      • Section 1 (45 minutes, AFK): Consulate Docks and unlocking outposts.
      • Section 2 (90 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.
        • 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.
        • 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: Do not help during 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 Campaign Rush (20a/account, up to 6 accounts, 2.5 hours)

    I can run up to 5 accounts through the Eye of the North campaign in about 2.5 hours. I can run 6 accounts if I have login details for one of them, but the rush will take a little bit longer.

    • 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 Add-On Services section at the bottom of this page to see if any of my additional services are relevant.
      4. Read the Rules section at the bottom of this page.
    • During the service:
      • Section 1 (30 minutes, AFK): EotN Tour (I do NOT adjust the price if you have received a tour before the rush).
      • Section 1 (25 minutes, No AFK): Ebon Vanguard and Norn Quests.
      • Section 2 (60 minutes, AFK): Norn and Asura Quests.

      • Section 4 (20 minutes, AFK): "Destruction's Depths" and "A Time for Heroes."
    • Missions: Do not help during 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.
    Winds of Change Act 1/Quests 1-17 (up to 4 accounts)

    I can run 4 accounts through Factions and Act 1 of WoC in about 3.5 hours. I will offer the rest of WoC once I have finished developing builds and tactics.

    The WoC rush is split up into 2 sections. Each section may be purchased individually.

    • Before the service (complete the following on your own):

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

    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:

    Through the activation of external content, you agree that personal data may be transferred to third party platforms. We have provided more information on this in our privacy policy.

    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.

  • Old thread, can be closed

    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.
