Survivor with Books
I just copied over the tables and a couple of my comments from the original archived conversation, which is here.

As promised a while ago, here's a quick run through of how many full books it would take to get Survivor 3, which requires 1,337,500 XP, with a little of my commentary.
 * 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 1&frasl;3 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 1⁄4 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.

Time/XP/risk

 * If you can survive filling 12 YHoT books without any deaths, you can do the title in only 144 missions and about 36 hours of playtime (15 books, 180 missions and 45 hours if you want the 1.35M Kurz/Lux title points instead).
