    Updated pricing.

    In my opinion, the prices for the new campaign rushes (Nightfall, Eye of the North) have been obscenely high for too long. When I began developing the Nightfall campaign rush in 2024, it made sense to charge 20a/account (when 1a was 50e) because it took 3 hours, and I could only run 3 people at a time. Now we can run 6 people at a time, and it takes closer to 2.5 hours. My goal is to make end-game content more accessible, so I am reducing the prices of these services, and I hope others will do the same.

    Regarding Factions... two years ago, it took 60 minutes to rush 4 people through Factions. Now, a reasonably experienced runner can rush 6 (or even 7) people in under 45 minutes. I see no reason why the price per account should remain the same as it did two years ago. That is, of course, assuming the party is full, but I've never had issues filling a Factions Rush.

    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"

    • DM me on Discord (asdf_trash_runner) with 1) the service you need and 2) the number of accounts that need it. Do not DM me on GWLegacy or in-game or anywhere else. If you ignore these very simple instructions, then I’m just going to assume you didn’t read the rest of this thread.
    • Prices are per account and are due upfront. I'm open to other forms of payment.
    • I will only do a rush if most of the available slots are full. Depending on demand, you might have to wait for a rush.
    • Due to work/life commitments and timezone differences, I strongly prefer rushing if I have login details. Many of my services now require login details.
    • None of my services are survivor/Dhuum's Covenant-friendly.
    • I might record or stream to YouTube/Twitch. Your character names will be visible.
    • Nightfall Campaign Rush is free for active members of the DoASC teach discord (https://discord.gg/3Txr4x6). I only do this for people who have learned the beginner DoASC roles and who are branching out into UA, EMo, tank, and off-meta roles.
    • If you want to run your own character from the start of Factions to the end of Nightfall as quickly as possible, follow this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A1Fuf0T8vyKOjzd0foqTqpmyCVi_JEJXh6tlFsOsCf0/edit?tab=t.0

    • Cleansing the Sunjiang District: ,When you are completing the Winds of Change quests on your own after the rush, you will notice that one of the Afflicted groups in Sunjiang District is locked behind a gate. This gate will not open until you have completed the Arborstone and Sunjiang District missions (Boreas Seabed is also required, but I complete that during the Factions Rush). However, it is quite easy to kill this group as long as you have ranged damage and skills such as Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support and "You Move Like a Dwarf!" The Afflicted Warriors and Afflicted Assassins may run from your party, but if you step away for a minute and wait for the Afflicted corpses to disappear, then these enemies will return to their normal spot and you can attempt to kill them again.
    Winds of Change Quests 1-17 - up to 6 accounts, 500e/account, 2.5 hours
    • Requires "F3 - Factions Rush + WoC Prep" already completed.

    Nightfall Campaign Rush (Hard Mode unlock starting from Yohlon Haven) - up to 6 accounts, 250e/account, 2.5 hours
    • During the service:
      • Section 1 (45 minutes, AFK): Unlocking outposts.
      • Section 2 (105 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.
        • Missions: Do not help during missions unless I say so. 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.

    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.

    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.
