Please close, thank you.

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.

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.

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.
