Hi, would you be willing by any chance to make a list of those somewhere? I think it would be very useful to learning players. I’m just starting down that road of getting elites and it would help me greatly to have an efficient path to progress through the maps.
Absolutely. It’s been 5 months or whatever since I did all this, but off the top of my head (and check Dulfy.net or something for more specifics and maps if needed. Edit: Just randomly googled a map to help with the read through , numbers don’t match mine.):
10) Enter VB and jump straight off the cliff to the west. There is a HP at the very bottom of the map where you just kill a vet.
20) Use updraft (or WP if needed) up to the crossroads directly to the west of the hole you just came out of. The HP at the road intersection is a channel. You need to jump off the cliff and glide to a ledge.
30) Go back up, and the HP directly the northwest of you is guarded by some baby wyverns and possibly a couple vets, very easy to kill the whole group if needed.
40) The HP directly SW of that you do another drop down to the bottom of the map and channel.
50) Go back up and due west you drop down a tree to almost the bottom of the map to avoid the poison clouds and channel it.
60) The NW most HP is a channel high up along a cliff face.
Before you leave VB for AB, take a visual peak to see if anyone is doing the point right at the exit of the map, if not just move on.
70) Depending on how many HPs you need, you can do the mushroom one due south of the entrance. It’s a champ, but pretty easy to solo, and there are often people doing it anyway.
Edit: 130) If you have nuhoc wallows, this is a good time to do the Burnisher Quarry channel in the far NE, the wallow is in the far NW.
80) I’m not sure if the one immediately to the south of that is re-activated by Anet yet, but if so, it’s just an eat bacon and use the heal skill… self explanatory once you see it.
90) Check the ori node HP immediately SE of the northwatch waypoint. It’s within visual range, so people are almost always there doing it. It’s fairly easy to solo if you need it.
100) Jump off the north gate of Tarir and glide SE to a channel.
110 and 120) The HP after the meta event is always done by the entire map, so whenever that opportunity comes up you can take it. A large group usually does the far SW HP together after the meta as well.
That will get you most characters’ elite unlocked. If not, just fill in the gaps wherever. There are plenty of easy HPs and channels further into the maps if needed. The whole process can take a matter of minutes or maybe an hour depending on how many champs you decide to fight and how lost you get. The getting lost part goes away on your following characters.
