Just beat factions (Kurzick side). By FAR the biggest hurdle was mastery of Eternal Grove.

How did you got it done with Henchies? Only tried it one time yet but failed the mission pretty hard because I couldn't save all Trees.

There’s a few YouTube videos out there. It took me trying a few different strategies and IIRC 10+ attempts. Some of it is actually luck, and a lot of it is practice and timing. Having the ideal henchman lineup helps too. Search YouTube and watch what they do and who they use. I did it on warrior which might be worse because of all the running you do back and forth.

Pretty happy with this update, and now I have some decisions and could really use some feedback.

I now have 100% of map, missions, quests, elite skills for Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall. This puts me to 15 titles, have not stepped foot into EOTN yet. This marks the point where I have gotten further than ever before back in the early 2000s when I used to play, so everything from here is going to feel new.

I would love help deciding what's next. Here are the options I have in mind:

1. Vanquishing, starting with NF and working my way backwards so I can also quickly finish off Sunspear and Lightbringer. Then once all zones are 100%, do HM missions. Then live in EOTN & end game zones and work on whatever is left for GWAMM and HoM.
2. Go finish EOTN on normal first, then vanquish & hm missions everything
3. Start a second Iron man character, I'm leaning toward ranger or assassin but also tempted by monk as it was my main originally. Something I can better solo/duo with. Warrior is really fun with 7 hero's, but feels pretty limited by its low energy regen. This is a fresh account so I plan on having at least two if not several iron man characters. They just won't be able to bank withdraw until they beat the game, or use mercenary heros until they unlock that hero type (cosmetic reasons).

I also need to farm 1 more level of Kurzick for max "save yourselves" when its double reward week. Open to suggestions on what is most efficient, still trying different things to figure that out. Is faction pvp even possible? I've been doing Altrumm Ruins.

Congrats to Mion Blume on Obsidian armor!

I'm finding my gold gain is way out pacing my XP in terms of the pace in which I can cap elite skills. Time to start using XP scrolls I guess? Got Nightfall missions, map, and quests all 100% but need to cap all elites there still. Hero's are gearing up nicely!

Edit: I decided to finally toggle HM on, should have done it sooner. It’s not as big a jump in difficulty as I expected. Now I’m able to work on reputation & better xp while capping nightfall elites. Hope to have a title update really soon

Im glad it wasnt only me with them dying in Vizunah lol

Hi everyone. I came back to the game for the first time in a long time, and on a fresh account. I have been playing GW2 and a few other games. Right now in GW1 I am focused on iron man on my warrior (I have a thread started about that in the iron man section) but would be interested in some other fun challenges as well. If anyone is interested in playing through iron man or similar and wants to level together I would be open to making a second character, just let me know. Thanks!

Been grinding like mad! Obsidian armor and "people know me" complete with only Prophecies & Factions done.

Next up:

Kurzick Rank 5 for maximum duration SY

Nightfall cartographer, missions, and elite skills will put me to 15 max titles

EotN and building out heros

EDIT: more of a complete update

- Rank 3 survivor is a relief, now I can get more serious with farming UW & FoW. Obsidian armor is primary goal right now.

- Farming Kurzick when the bonus is active

- Will do the equivalent Nightfall titles after obsidian armor is done.

- Then EoTN

- Then everything on HM

You can use pvp charrs for mercs and give them nice amors with silver/gold zaishen coins

Good to know! Thank you. Perhaps I'll do that for several of them.

Update:
Just beat factions (Kurzick side). By FAR the biggest hurdle was mastery of Eternal Grove. Now I need to complete Luxon maps, quests and the Luxon only mission. Will then farm more Kurzick to get up to 5 second “Save Yourselves!”.

After that I’m thinking I will try to farm enough XP for Legendary Survivor while capping all Prophecies & Factions skills.

Then we go to Elona. As soon as I start unlocking hero’s I plan to begin leveling iron alts to use as mercenary hero’s.

I’ll add some screenshots with my next update.

Awesome, congrats man! You're going to have to share with me what build you used and where to farm the mats. In a few months once I have all campaigns complete, this is going to be my next grind.

Hello everyone. New to the site and returning to the game after ~15 years away. I’m also on a fresh account so I felt would be a great opportunity to try something different. When I played originally I did not get any further than just beating each of the campaigns on normal. This time, I’m looking to do it ALL, Ironman style.

I decided to roll warrior. For my first 100 hours I picked up LDOA (Ironman style this was quite time consuming), and then proceeded to beat prophecies. I complete every quest, every mission bonus, and explore all maps along the way. Interestingly, I got 100% tyria map explored before even mapping the last mission zone! This leads me to believe there is something like 101-103% available map, quite a bit of room for error really. I’m happy I was able to do this without any tools/addons.

I also finished up elite gladiators, just before moving onto Cantha.

My next goals are to work through the Factions story and zones and farm up enough faction (planning to start with Kurzick) for "Save Yourselves!". I know some Ironman accounts do not allow use of any PVE skills. I plan to allow it because I feel like not allowing it limits the game experience.

Below are a few screenshots & my ruleset. I plan to make multiple Ironman characters and use them for each other's hero mercenaries instead of using heros, once I have heros unlocked. I will probably bring all of them through LDOA as well. I'm thinking Ranger next. Let me know if anyone wants to join!
