For all you people that want to speed their way to 80 on their alts.




Written Guide:

I created this guide because after getting my main to 80, I wanted to "powerlevel" my alts to 80. I looked around for a guide, but found none. There was some research done and trial and error, and I've decided to share this guide with you guys. There are obviously faster ways to level, but this guide doesn’t really incorporate crafting. I’m trying to show you a good way to take advantage of these dynamic event chains to level up fairly quickly.

1-15:

Spoiler

Here I'd say you guys are pretty much on your own. If you can't get to level 15 by yourself then I would say that you probably shouldn't be reading this guide

My recommendation is that you 100% your starter map: do as many dynamic events as possible on the way, gather materials and do your daily achievements. You also want to do your story line up to level 15 or so if needed.

15-35:

Spoiler

These levels will be spent in Kessex Hills. For those wondering how to get there if your race is not a human, I will quickly go over it. First go to Heart of the Mists (PvP) and then do the tutorial if you have to. Once you're in Heart of the mists just go straight until you see the portal to Lion's Arch. Alternatively, you can go into your race's major city and go to Lion's Arch.

Once in Lion's Arch, you want to go to the Gate Hub Plaza Waypoint, and this is where the portals are to all the major cities of the GW2 races. Find the Human portal, (the ones with Seraph Soldiers) and then go inside. You should now be in Divinity's Reach. Go south until you get into Queensdale. Once in Queensdale, you want to run down the map (south) and try to get to the Town of Claypool (human crafting town). A little bit south of Claypool you should see a portal which leads you into Kessex Hills.

When you're in Kessex Hills, go to the Meadows Waypoint. Walk a little bit Southwest of the waypoint, and you should see a river with a broken bridge. Make your way onto the side where there are tons of people (and or bots) that are just standing around there. They are waiting for the event to start!


§  (22) Break centaur worker morale to prevent bridge repairs
§  (25) Dispatch the Harathi lieutenants
§  (25) Kill the Harathi overlord

The first of the three events in this chain involve defending the bridge from centaur workers. Pretty simple, just kill as many centaurs as possible. At level 15 it may be challenging, as on my warrior I was only getting bronze/silvers for a while.

After this event you want to head over to the Overlord's Greatcamp. There should be a big group of people also heading over there as well, so if it is your first time doing the event, you should be fine just following everybody else. Here you want to kill 3 Harathi lieutenants. Don't worry because I didn't get a medal from this event until I was level 20 something.

The final event involves killing the Harathi overlord. Because of Hundred Blades (warrior skill), I was able to get a gold medal from this event even at level 15. I'm not sure about any other classes. Like before, you can just follow other people to this event and completion of this event is fairly quick. After this event has been finished, go back to the bridge in the 1st event and wait for the chain to restart.

For those having trouble getting ANY type of medal:

Spoiler

Make sure that your gear is up to date. Get out of that starter gear and put on your level 15 armor. I have to admit though; 15-20 in this event is probably one of the worst parts of this leveling guide. You get 1 hit downed by everything, and it is extremely frustrating. I just grinded through it on my warrior, but for those having trouble getting any medals EVEN with your new armor, I recommend going east and doing the hearts, exploring way points + points of interest in Kessex Hills that were meant for level 15-20s.

Once you hit 20, I’d recommend putting on your level 20 gear and head back to the event and try again. Now you should feel it is significantly easier.

Remember, this goes for other event chains as well, if you feel as though you aren't doing enough damage, update your gear. If you honestly aren't getting any medals from ANYTHING. Go around and do some nearby hearts to level up a bit.

35-50 (55?):

Spoiler

So once you hit 35 you want to go to Harathi Hinterlands which is the 35-45 zone. Make your way to the Junction Camp waypoint. As I said before, if you’re level 35, don’t worry if you aren’t getting gold medals, as your level up, you will tend to get more and more of them.

§  (42) Stop the centaurs from retaking their camps
§  (42) Capture the camps before more centaurs arrive
§  (43) Assault Kingsgate and drive the centaurs back before they can rally their forces
§  (43) Keep the Modniir invaders from retaking Kingsgate

§  (43) Defeat Ulgoth the Modniir and his minions

From the Junction Camp waypoint I would recommend just waiting until the first event triggers.

You will be able to see on your mini map little flags that are telling you to defend the camps from the centaurs. From the Junction Camp waypoint you can either make your way North or South depending on whichever camp you decide to defend.

After defending and maintaining control of the camps, wait about a minute and then there should be another event with Captain Edwards who will assault the Kingsgate with you. Make your way over to him and attack the camp. This is pretty straightforward; you have to kill centaurs, destroy gates, and even kill a centaur mini boss.

Next you will need to defend the area that you have just taken control of, just kill more centaurs and push them back. You have to lower the centaur’s offensive strength, and once that is done you are onto the final event.

You will have to defeat Ulgoth the Modniir and his minions. First he will have 3 War Beasts and those take a while to kill, but generally there are large groups doing these events so you should be fine. After the 3 War Beasts are finished, there will be a giant Earth Elemental type figure that spawns, and you just have to kill it. Once that is done, Ulgoth will come down from the hill that he has been watching the battle from and attack you guys. Ulgoth takes some time to kill, and watch out for his AoE lava font sort of abilities. He also deals quite a bit of damage if he targets you.

You’re done! Now, before you make your way back to the Junction Camp waypoint there is a chest in the area that you were fighting Ulgoth in, and I highly recommend you get that because there is generally some good gear especially for level 35s.

Rinse and repeat.

50-60 (65? or 70?):

Spoiler

Make your way to Bloodtide Coast and head to the southwestern part of the map (bottom left corner) and go to the Jelako waypoint. After at the waypoint, you want to head north until you see a small village of Hylek (froggy-like creatures).

§  (54) Protect the Lapatl Chieftain from the undead
§  (54) Defend Pochtecatl as he travels to gather griffon eggs

Once in the village, an event should trigger where the undead are attacking. All you have to do is defend the village from the undead: in general there are only two locations from which they spawn from, so just choose one and defend that way. Occasionally one side will get overwhelmed a bit so look back and forth to make sure the undead haven’t pushed their way in.

After completing the first event, there should be a Hylek named Pochtecatl and you have to TALK to him in order to start the next event. He should be near the armor repair merchant but make sure if no one else talks to him to start the event, you do or else you will be missing out on some experience + karma + gold! The event is pretty simple. It is essentially a “defend the caravan” sort of event, there will be undead that are attacking you until you make your way into the griffon cave.

In the griffon cave, just kill all the griffons, and as you reach the end of the cave a Veteran Matriarch Griffon will spawn. Kill that and you’re done with the event. Make your way back to the village and in a couple minutes the first event will restart again.

70-80:

Spoiler

Your last 10 levels will be spent in Straits of Devastation. Go to the Lone Post waypoint, and if you find that it is contested, waypoint to a close-by waypoint and walk there.

§  (74) Defend the Lone Post from the Risen hordes
§  (74) Escort the Pact squad to the conservatory
§  (74) Kill the Veteran Risen Wizard defending the conservatory

In Lone Post you have to defend the area from the Risen. There will be a lot of risen coming in from both sides, so try and tag as many Risen as possible to get exp.

After defending Lone Post there will be a Pact squad that comes and you have to defend them as they make their way to the conservatory. You will be killing more Risen. Once at the conservatory there will be some Earth elementals that you will probably kill but it isn’t necessary to kill them in order to complete the event. Once reaching the conservatory the event will be completed.

There will be some dialogue between the Pact squad, and then a Veteran Risen Wizard will spawn. It will be invulnerable for some time until the dialogue is finished, then you have to kill it. It’s pretty easy, some more Risen also spawn but this final event is fast.

There should also be a chest in the conservatory so get that and then make your way back to Lone Post and wait for the chain to restart. By doing this method you will get a ton of drops, and generally make at least 1g/hour.

Alternative method:

Just make your way deeper into Straits of Devastation and zerg. For those who don’t know what that is, just find a large group and kill bosses. If you just run deeper into Straits of Devastation you should see huge groups of people running around, just follow them and kill the bosses they kill. They generally know the spawns of the bosses, and you will get more experience and karma this way, but less gold. The only real gold you get from this is 1 silver or so you get by completing each event.

HELP! The Lone Post gate is blocked!

Spoiler

Make your way to the Thunderhead waypoint (mainland) and there should be some sort of event where you have to defend Trebuchets. By the way, this is the first in the chain.
Once that has been completed, there should be a chain of events where you have to escort from island to island and take control of the islands until you reach Lone Post.
The final event in this chain will allow you to attack the Lasciate Gate which will open up Lone Post and the Lone Post event chain for you.

***If there is no event on the mainland, then perhaps the event chain is already in motion. Go to the other islands and see if there is any sort of event where you have to “defend the island” or “escort a weapon caravan.”

But what about 60-70?

Spoiler

Grinding from 50-70 at Bloodtide coast is a pain. I know. I went from 50-65 and then from 65-70 I did my personal story which I hadn’t done since ~lvl 10. I am also looking into Fireheart Rise (60-70 zone) because it seems to have some good event chains. You guys can try and go there if you want 60-70. If you have materials stored up then you can start crafting if you’d like. It’s pretty much up to you.

So other methods of getting from 60-70 other than Bloodtide Coast:
-Personal Story
-Try Fireheart Rise?
-Craft
-WvW?

Good luck getting to 80!

Video guides: the WORST POSSIBLE WAY to convey information.
They're slow, linear, and usually (I haven't watched yours, so this isn't about you specifically) poorly done/shot/recorded/written/edited so much so it's painful to watch. (And too often they're just people posting some irrelevant crap, hoping to fluff their viewcount.)

If you have a list of DE 'chains' to follow....just write the list down.  Then share it with us.  It would be much appreciated!

[Shadowrose]

If you were getting 1 shot on your warrior at the centaur events (15-25)

I don't even wanna imagine how it would be for light armored classes. How do I even get to the camp? lol

might want to fix that part

Edit: what about fields of ruin -> blazeridge steppes for 40+?

Yeah 15-20 is the only painful and frustrating part but once you're past that it's easy. And in general, light armored classes wouldn't even be hit I think, because you can just stand back and use ranged attacks. An elementalist for example could just use meteor shower and hide behind everyone else.

And I'm not sure what camp you're referencing haha...

And for fields of ruin and blazeridge steppes idk if there are any good event chains...I'll have to go check it out! Thanks!

[Aetou]

Definitely craft 60-70, it's quick and gets you to Orr asap where you can quickly level the rest of the way.  You can even go 55-70 quite easily with crafting.

You should also consider WvW Camp flipping at any level beyond 30 when you're bored.  Get a group of 5 and you can probably do 6-10 camps an hour plus sentry and caravans along the way for solid karma, gold and xp.

Seriously thank you.  You totally win.

[kartana]

Thanks, will try it out.

[Robsy128]

Hmm... farm dynamic events? It's not really my style, but I may use this just to get past the boring and slow bits. I want to see more of my personal story and get into dungeons!

[vargoss]

i think the problem with the 15-35 DE farm is that you have to be around lvl 20 to go there. i remember trying lvl 18/19 and i did not get credit for DE and the kills came in very sparingly.

suggest you group up to make it easier.

[Plasticblanket]

This would be great if the De's were not bugged all the time

[Jibas]

Thanks for this guide!! On a side note my level 18 guardian was able to get golds on all 3 DE in Kessex hills using a staff for a little bit of AoE damage for the first one and a sword/GS for the other two, the only real problem dying while doing the second DE.

[Rottenborg]

Thanks for this guide!  I can only play for 2 hours a day some days and getting my Daily done is a pain if I can't find the events to spawn.  Now I will just park characters at the appropriate spot, and they will lvl up fast too.

[Firstborn12]

you may want to add this to your guide, In Sparkfly Fen (55-65 area) theres an small Isand with Hylek, the WP is Astrozintli Forelands, there are about 5 events that go on around there.

3 DE

• (57) Defend the south gate (Astrozintli Foregrounds)
  
• (57) Defend the west gate (Astrozintli Foregrounds)
  
• (57) Reclaim the southern beach from the Orrian undead (Astrozintli Foregrounds)
  
• 
  
• and 2 group event
  
• (58) Defend the Zintl Holy Grounds (Astrozintli Foregrounds)
  
• (58) Retake the Zintl Holy Grounds (Astrozintli Foregrounds)
  
• 
  
• they happen one after another with about a minute or 2 cooldown (this is more towards the DE, not the group event)
  
• I was there last night and got 5k exp per event. another great thing about this area is that there crafting stations  inside the camp. so you can deposit all your stuff into your bank when you start getting full. this can be a good alturnative than grinding the Bloodtide coast once you reach the proper level for it,

[Louis8k8]

I don't personally need this, but still want to thank you for the effort and contribution! (:

Nice of you to take Sty0pa's advice as well.

[TGIFrisbie]

Any recommended events that are as good as the pair at Jelako, for 65 and beyond?  I tried finding something in Fireheart Rise as suggested but that map was craptastic and I've gone back to Mount Maelstrom.  Sparkfly Fen had a decent one last week, but peeps have moved on (levelled past me since I switched to another alt) and its dead except for random bots running around.

[XgreatArtist]

DEs are much better than hearts, so i will go with this thread anyday to level my alts.
I m just worried that i might see more risen, since i m basically pissed off by them already.

e.g. Pull + gangbang = die

[stronglikeburn]

For 60-70 im doing Sparkfly Fen, at Splintered Coast Waypoint(Southwest Part), there are two events that are quite frequent and easy to tap for credit, and people in chat seem to be nice about announing other events around the map. Also teq(undead dragon) comes up every 2-3 hrs so extra chest and exp there.

[nekretaal]

Kessex hills appears to be recently nerfed, with one event no longer starting immediately after the last event was completed.  Any suggestions for an alternate leveling path?

[Reick]

Has ANet nerfed this? Because I tried the event chain on Harathi and you have to wait like 5-10 min to restart. Don't know if it is worth it.

[Cronag]

Awesome guide. I've been searching everywhere for a list of these areas. Thanks Shrimp.
Too bad about the potential nerfs on some of them

[TGIFrisbie]

Some of the changes have actually been to the benefit of legit players.

Kessex hills bridge event changed dramatically since the posting of the original here.  It was done to remove the incredibly thick bot and button-repeating-afkers from just camping on the bridge.  This chain still works but aren't directly tied in to the bridge.  The Centaur Lieutenants do not necessarily wait until after the bridge to trigger.  The overlord always triggers after the Lieutenants are dispatched, however.

Harathi event has a longer wait time, but I think what has happened is these events have some sort of delay based on players in the area, and since there are far, far fewer players pre-80 now the events do not restart so fast.  This could have also been a direct nerf to slow down progression from purely using events, but I sorta doubt such a draconian measure.

Jelako event is rarely done on any server.  I have moved across a handful of servers with mixed results.  It is pure random to find anyone else doing this event chain.  The bots that were there for a couple of weeks are all gone, banned.  This makes it very hard now with so few pre-80s levelling off events.  You end up here solo and that is painful, but there is an answer.

For Jelako if there aren't enough peeps to do it (at least 2 55+ IMO) then let the invasion event fail and pick up by clearing the undead event.  This event was recently changed (nerfed) to the benefit of legit players.  No more OP veterans spitting you down and fast Risen replacements spawning.  Completely soloable if you are 48+ or 46 with pet.  The egg event is a bit harder if you are under level 50 and solo.

Now to a location NOT listed so far in this thread.

75-80 (can be 74 but peeps will probably complain about your low level):

Cursed Shore - Plinx Event

I managed today to get my Ranger from 75-80 in 2 hours and 20 mins.  I am sure you can do better, but I thought that was pretty damn good.  I used Undead Slaying food and 50% xp bonus from daily rewards I had saved up (BLTC/chest items too).  You don't need the 50% xp bonus, I was just pushing my speed as much as I could.  Guild Banners help too.  Be sure to party up to increase your event damage potential.

YouTube: Plinx

The above video is not by me, just one I found.

[Krazzar]

Step 1 should be getting 100% exploration from each city.  Going from level 2 you'll get to level 8 and the experience does not scale for each exploration point (static 60 exp for POIs, 100 for Vistas and Waypoints) so that experience is only worth it at low levels, and it is the fastest period to gain levels. So every character can start combat at level 8, completing one starter zone will get you to level 15 easily.

Crafting will add 10 levels to a character for every crafting profession completed (to level 400), so you can plan when you want to start crafting to skip an entire level range. On my ranger I skipped from level 40 to 60 through crafting. You have to have the materials saved up or enough gold to buy the materials if you haven't been gathering.

Keeping up with the story can be worthwhile as well. Story missions around your level can give you a quarter of the experience to the next level for a very short mission. Completing a zone can also give about a quarter of the experience to the next level. Don't be afriad to mix it up. Some events also cross renown (heart) areas as well, so you can complete both at the same time, and a few events will cross multiple renown areas.

Edited by Krazzar, 10 November 2012 - 05:52 AM.

[Rottenborg]

Krazzer, Exploration is too slow.  Hearts are too slow.  For a main character who wants a legendary eventually, somebody who wants to soak in the game and enjoy the lore, exploration makes sense, but not for anybody else.

I am leveling alts with events, just parking alts in spots where lots of events are always up, so I can hit my dailies in 30-40 mins on off days.

Anyways with Kessex hills nerfed, I am using Diessa Plateau -- Butcher's block, where there are 5 DEs nearby, and at least one seems to always be up.  But this is Realistcally only good until 25ish, and I need a new spot to get to 35.

[drkn]

As soon as you hit 60, it's all much faster because you should go after zone completion - 60~70 maps yield exotics for 100% completion, which can be thrown into Forge or salvaged for cool runes. Go Fireheart and Maelstrom as soon as you can.

Exploring each city first is literally the fastest leveling availible in the game and it only applies early on because the exp does not scale up for each POI/Waypoint/Vista. The cities contain no hearts. Please be sure to finish reading sentences when posting.

What is your current quickest leveling time to 80? So far it's 59 hours for me and I highly doubt sitting around waiting for an event to cycle is more effective than that because I do events while doing hearts. Not only do you get the reward right away, you have the ability to craft too. Seems you have a narrow approach and aren't taking in the whole picture.

[TGIFrisbie]

To the topic at hand:

~65-70 Fireheart Rise Soloable Dynamic Events

\\

The top left event is a Charr Vet with 3 adds spread out.  I recommend you clear some of the adds so they don't occur while fighting the Vet.  If you have a pet (Necro, Ranger, Ele, etc.) hes even easier and may be manageable at earlier levels.  He has a health burn attack that is hurty so melee should at least be 65.

The bottom left is simply Harpies that have taken over the village.  Clear them out (lower their morale).

The event on the right is either a defend or retake, if the defend failed (usually no one was there).

Very soloable.  Typically little wait time, some will even overlap in reset times.

[Offering3978]

Shrimps, you inspired me to take your guide and combine it with mine. Hope you don't mind, heres the combined work:

For those who got their mains up and want to roll alts to 80 in a hurry. Some of this guide is researched information some I wrote personally, thought I might share it so you can all enjoy epic fast leveling.

Levels 0-?
Fastest way I have found is to do the Personal story line untill your new toon can no longer compete in it. depending on class should get you to level 5-7 in roughly 30 minutes or less. If you do this skip ahead to the appropriate level on the guide.

Key notes: *** means fail event, if you let some events fail, you get 50% xp. and a new event spawns that rewards 100% xp. So if you see a "***" means let that event fail for an additional % of xp from a new event spawn.


Levels 1-5
Dynamic Event: (Area: Queensdale) Chain Events:
Kill the river drake broodmother (3)Stop the bandit thief from stealing the pumphouse blueprints (3)
Clear the orchard of spiders for Farmer Eda (4)Kill the huge spider in Eda's Orchard (4)

Levels 5-10
Dynamic Event: (Area: Queensdale) Chain Events:Stop skritt thieves from stealing logging tools (7)Failure: Retrieve stolen logging tools from the skritt hideout (7)Success of either of above: Help Slim Mikhart destroy the skritt cave support (7)


Levels 10-15
    Dynamic Event: (Area: Queensdale) Chain Events:Drive back the centaurs before they steal the monastery's ale (11)Failure: Return stolen kegs of ale to Abbot MathiasSuccess of either above two: Protect the brew shipment (14)

Levels 15-20
Dynamic Event: (Area: Queensdale) Chain Events:
Rescue the traveling child's mother from bandits (15)Accompany the Lionguard patrol (16)Clear the bandit ro* from the road to Lion's Arch (16) participate, but let the event fail ***Escort the caravan to Kessex Haven (16)Recover the stolen shipment from the bandits (16)

ok 20 and beyond starts picking up the pace as far as xp/hr goes also, because the guide is going to put you in a higher level range of mobs, by 5-6 levels higher then you. So there are a few things to discuss here at this avenue in the guide. There are going to be alot of event fails. See notes above. This will help top out on xp/hr vs completing a single event for 1 events worth of xp/karma/gold. Secondly, at 20 and up on the gear situation if you haven't noticed yet, you should be getting alot of drops from these events, equip upgrades as you get them. Use the best gear for "overall killing power" don't worry about defense, just the ability to do damage and AOE skills if you have a class with them.The idea here is to "tag" mobs, and do enough damage during the event to get "Gold" status and max XP. Mobs at events will at this point come in larger numbers hit harder, and start with conditions, knockdowns and other things you will need gear to survive. That being said.

Levels 20-30
    Dynamic Event: (Area:Gendarran Fields) Chain Events:

Participate damage mobs to 50% event time, let this event fail:Cull the undead horde gathering outside of First Haven (26) Then you will get: Recapture First Haven from the Risen (26) Then: Rebuild First Haven's defenses to guard against the undead (26)

During the downtime in the first set of events : Survive the trials of the battle pit (26) is repeatable, if my memory serves correct if you complete it you, can enter again with the npc.

At 30+ keep in mind at this point you are skipping ahead, tag mobs and let the npcs do the killing, if you feel your too squishy, continue on the last events until 35, then you can jump to:

Dynamic Event: (Area:Harathi Hinterlands) Chain Events: (Credit on this to Shrimps on GuildWars GuRu.com for this next section)

Seraph Assault on Centaur Camps Generally speaking camp out at the NE most camp, Assuming Seraph has control, events will spawn with the Camp under attack, Defend the North camp always.(42) Stop the centaurs from retaking their camps After the attack event is completed. Capture the camps before more centaurs arrive Directly after or mid way with these events, you should see:Defeat Ulgoth the Modniir and his minions (43)
Starts, this event in its own is a chain with 5 seperate parts. I usually do up to the Warbeasts, then run back and log out to preserve my XP boosts, you could do that, or finish the boss. (note: this can take you all the way to level 50)

Level 50-60 (Honestly this part is a little more then hard if you don't get to at least 52 before heading to this location due to missing attacks on the mobs that hit hard, knockdown, and 1 shot in grps so that being said)


Dynamic Event: (Area:Bloodtide Coast) Chain Events: (Credit on this to Shrimps on GuildWars GuRu.com for this next section)

Let this event fail at 50% :(54) Protect the Lapatl Chieftain from the undead *** Then retake the camp for an additional DE gold worth of XP.  Directly following retaking the camp: (55) Defend Pochtecatl as he travels to gather griffon eggs You can rinse and repeat this event with about a 4 min downtime all the way to level 56-57

Then at level 55-57

Dynamic Event: (Area:Sparkfly Fen) Chain Events:Defend Chokevine Gorge before Risen overrun it (64) When this isn't up and going: Defend the supply of energy from krait (65) This event chain is just the 2 here, and you can flip flop between the 2 with about a 4 min downtime between. This can take you up to 65 I leveled a Mesmer to 70 here. Very fast spot.

Levels 70-80: (Credit on this to Shrimps on GuildWars GuRu.com for this next section)


Dynamic Event: (Area:Straits Of Devastation) Chain Events: (74) Defend the Lone Post from the Risen hordes(74) Escort the Pact squad to the conservatory  (74) Kill the Veteran Risen Wizard defending the conservatory  These can take you all the way to 80.

Alternative to 75-80 and my personal favorite, these events all spawn close to each other and offer multiple chains for max XP/Karma (I use boosters for this to grind karma/gold with MF gear as well:


Dynamic Event: (Area:Cursed Shore) Chain Events:[Group] Kill the Risen broodmother (80)Defend Priory Explorer Plinx as he repairs his hazmat suit (80) Multi Chain Event. Then Directly spawning (for Abom, Depending on whats going on in the map, I usually do about 60dmg to the Abom,and get to another DE spawn and not see it to finish, it takes a long time to actually down the mob:[Group] Defeat the Risen abomination wandering outside the walls of Caer Shadowfain (80)


Defeat the ancient Risen warriors in Balthazar’s arena (80) Multi Chain Event.

I fill in the gaps of DE spawn with hanging at this camp or close to it:

Rid the Pact camp of tar elementals (80)

Happy grinding to 80 and I hope you find this guide as useful as I do.

The Jelako event chain is almost never done any more, even Harathi is hit or miss.  You need to be current or your guide, even when combined, is fail.

Even the Sparkfly krait event is mainly briefly during prime time or during Teq's appearance window.  This is why I posted the soloable events in Fireheart Rise, above.  Also doing the krait event when 55-57 can be suicidal since the mobs are still red IIRC.  Now given you will probably be alone or with 1-2 other peeps total given the current state of the game, good luck.
