So I noticed that there has never been a Titan like guide. So I thought I would give it a shot to see how well I can feed everyone information.
1. Introduction
I'm Lsrpm..Been playing the game 9 years and have seen it all when it comes to hunting titans. Whether it be all the guild strategies, all the scripts people used, etc. Its been a long road but I have always enjoyed titan hunting regardless. I currently have the crystal titan hunting medal and look forward to getting my ruby eventually.
2. Things to note
Couple of things that are very important. Internet speed heavily determines your "speed" when it comes to titan hunting. Whether or not you are able to move fluidly to each and every spot the titan moves. So if you do not have the best internet then it will be difficult to be able to hunt titans in general.
Pressing T while on the world map is a shortcut to teleport. Your square turns blue instead of green when its active.
The guild structure Temporal Beacon helps with titan hunting IMMENSELY. Having your teleport cooldown reduced is huge when it comes to going against others.
There are also a few items in the game that give the enhancement "Temporal Shift" which also reduces your teleport cooldown.
3. General Tips
Buffs that are 100% MANDATORY are Titan Doubler and Teleport. They generally sell for 1 fsp each on the buff market or even sometimes 1 fsp for both. Without these two buffs there is 0 chance in competing with other players.
Light foot and Conserve are also very much needed if you dont have a huge stamina bank.
A titan spawns every hour of xx:00 ST. For example if its currently 2:55 AM I know a titan will have a CHANCE to spawn in 5 mins. Usually by this time I have multiple things prepared in case a titan does spawn
-Be on a portal so I can be ready to port to a realm
-Have 3-4 tabs open. One for the home page, another for the buff market(multiple if Teleport and Titan Doubler cant be bought at once) one for the world map, and the last is the wiki or Fallensword Guide handy, just in case a titan spawns that I dont automatically remember the said realm its in.
EXTRA TABS/WINDOWS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND
Most people find titan hunting extremely boring and often ask "Wow how can you do this" Well its simple. The best thing to do while titan hunting is to have something going on in the background. Whether it be your favorite movie,new TV show, favorite music, or even talking to your friends makes the titan process less painful and even more enjoyable. This particular tip has helped me through many secures.
Here is what my screen tends to look like while im titan hunting.
On the left you see Fallensword and me hunting a "titan". On the right you see a show im watching while hunting said titan. And towards the bottom left you see the scout tower screen.
I like having the scout tower screen show because I want to know how close I am to being done or how well im doing against others. I usually have this screen on auto refresh(every 1 minute).
Clicking Vs Keys!
Many people have different thoughts on this but I personally think clicking is faster and a lot more accurate. But you can always try both to see what you feel more comfortable with!
4. Going For TKP or Secure(Solo)
Now when hunting titans you obviously have the option to just farm TKP(far less efficient) or straight up going for the secure(a long grind but worth it in the end)
Going for the solo secure on a titan with less than 4800 health, it is recommended to have at least 6000 stamina or else you run the risk of running out of stamina when you are almost done with a secure.
There have been countless times where I thought I could make it on the 4000 stamina I had but was sadly mistaken. So always make sure you have the proper stamina bank.
For those who dont have those large of stamina banks. I would recommend putting as much FSP into your stamina because it will pay off later on. Until then you can continue to hunt for TKP and try to get the drop through that way.
5. Profit From Titan Hunting
For the most part it is a slow process to get a fast and true profit from titan hunting. Unless you are hunting the latest and greatest titan,seasonal titans, or just a very hard titan to hunt.
Most of the titan epics are over flooded in the game which makes selling said epics very difficult.
The best and somewhat risky way to sell these not so wanted epics is to do a 1 or 2 hour 1fsp Auction of them. Now I know what you are saying "WHAT!? Are you crazy?? I worked so hard for this epic and its just going to go to waste???" 70% of the time I do something like this I barely lose FSP. In fact I only lose a very minuscule amount of FSP. So in my opinion its the fastest best way to get FSP immediately once you get the epic.
6. Closing and Notes
Hope you all enjoyed this guide! Hopefully it wasnt to difficult to process and read. I will be continuing to update this "guide" as I think of things. If any of you guys have any input feel free to comment them and I will be sure to add it to the guide while giving you credit! If you guys ever have any questions feel free to message me in game. Im nice sometimes!
