User:XT-8147/Pedro No Es Pequeno/Info

Small explanation: besides the fact that Pequeno really should be Peque&ntilde;o (yay for English character limitation), the name translates to "Pedro is not small". When I made him, I set his height as short as possible so he'd be in denial. This name itself originates from my archer named Pedro that I had back when I still played Champions of Norrath. That was most likely a reference to the character from Excel Saga.

Usual class combos: Ranger/Ritualist, Ranger/Monk

Armor: Full 15k Druid's Armor, mask undyed, coat/gloves dyed silver, leggings/boots dyed blue. Separate (1.5k) gloves/boots for swapping in/out superior runes (I usually run two superior runes, I've found that if you stay the hell back like you're supposed to that the health hit really isn't that much of a problem)

Pet: Something or other. Levelling pets by way of junundu for the menagerie.

Zaishen Menagerie Checklist

I'm annoyed that the Balthazar faction costs for the pets exceed 10,000 (and the non-Faction costs are gold zaishen coins which take forever to get and can't be traded between players). Elitist much, ANet?

Full Hall of Monuments checklist: (account view only needed for monument of resilience)
 * Monument of Honor - 9/10 maxed titles: I'm running around Tyria capturing elites.
 * Monument of Resilience - 3/5 elite armor sets: Ranger Elite Druid Armor, Elementalist Elite Sunspear Armor, and Necromancer Obsidian Armor.
 * Monument of Valor - 0/11 Destroyer or Tormented weapons
 * Monument of Fellowship - 4/5 statues on Fellowship monument: Black Moa, Animal Companion, Imperial Phoenix, M.O.X.; I need to get a UW party competent enough that I can get a Black Widow.
 * Monument of Devotion - 20/20 minipets: Done.

Max titles obtained:
 * Legendary Spearmarshal
 * Holy Lightbringer
 * Legendary Cartographer
 * Protector of Elona
 * Protector of Cantha
 * Protector of Tyria
 * Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer
 * Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer
 * Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer

Titles he has displayable: (current progress)
 * Slayer of Champions (rank 8)
 * Not Too Grumpy (rank 6)
 * Daring Delver (rank 6)
 * Shadow Agent (rank 5)
 * Ally of the Kurzicks (rank 4)
 * Collector of Wisdom (rank 2)

 * Treasure Hunter (rank 1)
 * Kind Of A Big Deal (rank 1)
 * Drunkard (rank 1) (achieved entirely without buying alcohols)
 * Party Animal (rank 1)
 * Sweet Tooth (rank 1)

Titles he's going for: (current progress)
 * Tyrian Elite Skill Hunter (37/90)
 * The other elite skill tracks (not a lot, though I have all the Ranger elites and most of the Monk elites)
 * The Guardian tracks (a few Tyrian, two Elonian, none elsewhere)
 * The Vanquisher tracks (a few Tyrian, one Canthan, one Elonian)

To-Do list: (items in no particular order)
 * Capture elites
 * Grind my way through polymock so I can get the only four PvE-only skills that I don't yet have.
 * Hate on ANet for making us play this excessively difficult minigame to get four fairly worthless skills.
 * Get Black Moa Chick - have incubator filled, need party for Final Assault.
 * Finish Sorrow's Furnace - I've done Killroy Stonekin and Galen Trask. Maybe with hero flagging and balanced team halves I can do High Priest Alkar, then I just need Orozar Highstone before I can get Final Assault.

I'm done with SS/LB farming, but the run is great for levelling up pets for the menagerie. I even fluke-vanquished The Sulfurous Wastes with no monks in the party, using hero flags and pulling for the boss group on rocky terrain. The flags made sure that the heroes stayed in regular terrain and thus in their junundu, and I disabled Leave Junundu and the melee range skills.

Ugggggggggggggggh, Dzagonur Bastion wins my vote for the most annoying mission in all of Guild Wars. I managed to get Master's on it, but it takes: Here's a page explaining how I did it.
 * The right party build
 * The right tactics
 * A lot of luck

Most of the time I run apply poison/burning arrow. I've found that a Ranger can solo the first several Prophecies missions, using a slightly modified run build.
