Survivor with Story Books[edit]

Book(s) Missions Max XP Books for $$ Notes
 NM  HM NM HM
The Flameseeker Prophecies.pngThe Flameseeker Prophecies (Hard Mode).pngFlameseeker 18 80k 120k 8k 12k Longest book; highest reward; many missions are very long and some can fail close to the end
Shiro's Return.pngShiro's Return (Hard Mode).pngShiro's Return 11 40k 60k 4k 6k Short; Eternal Grove and Imperial Sanctum may be tough with AI team
Night Falls.pngNight Falls (Hard Mode).pngNight Falls 17 60k 90k 6k 9k Long; Dzagonur Bastion and Gate of Madness can be a pain with AI
Young Heroes of Tyria.pngYoung Heroes of Tyria 12 N/A 67.5k* N/A 6,750k Short; HM ONLY; simple starter missions; * XP reward varies depending on where you turn it in, and is highest from Gordon Ecker
Hero's Handbook.pngHero's Handbook (Hard Mode).pngHeroes Handbook 11* 12k 18k 1.2k 1.8k Shortest book @ 11 pages filled vs 16 pages; easy once you master DD and ATFH; faster than Young Heroes; * 5/16 entries are automatically complete after the first time
Master Dungeon Guide.pngMaster Dungeon Guide (Hard Mode).pngMstr. Dung. Guide 18** 80k 120k 8k 12k **Does; SUICIDE comes to Mind - Easy Kills to YOU!; Can be done if you are not rushing through and know what to expect and know the spawns.**
  • In conclusion, I would place my top bet on Young Heroes of Tyria or Hero's Handbook.
    • YHoT is relatively short and very simple, even in HM, since these are starter missions. You can also choose to get 4,500 SS or LB rep or a cool 90k Kurz/Lux title points at the cost of 13 of the XP, increasing the number of books needed from 19.8 to 29.7. If you do 30 books and take them to Cantha, you will get an impressive 2,700,000 faction title points - more than rank 8 if you start from scratch, or over 0.25¼ of the entire title track! - Note these are not actual faction you can spend, but go straight to your title track.
    • Hero's Handbook is easy and fast if you can run Destruction's Depths reliably, and provides nice rep rewards for EotN titles, if you don't have them yet.
  • Note that the decimal points in the number of books required do not scale with the number of completed pages because of the "buffer" missions. They're only there instead of just a straight rounded up integer to show how close you are and if you'll need most of another book or can go kill a couple of worms in Ice Cliffs to finish up the title.

I just copied over the tables and a couple of comments from the original archived conversation, which is [1]. I added a few touch-ups.
