XP and Gold farming in EOTN

A place that Kenneth had mentioned is an awesome place to farm. It is a solo thing though. Once you get to Gunnar's Hold in Eye of the North, talk to Kilroy Stoneskin. It's cool how it works. You get a set of brass knucles to equip when you talk to him again. Do the first quest with him all the way through. I went through it without getting knocked out once last night. I used combinations of 1, 2, and 3 keys for those skills. Once I got enough adrenaline, I'd use 5 (it does 80 damage). Once you finish that quest, talk to Kilroy again. He wants you to help him go after someone. In this one, I'd use the same combinations as above, except another skill is added to key 6. It does 30 damage and knocks the enemy over for 3 seconds. When I'd get enough adrenaline, I'd target an enemy and press either 5 (which knocks them out instantly), or 6 if 5 had been used. I'd get clear up to where the locked chest is and map out. There are over 20 enemies to knock out so it is a sure 2000 xp per run. I went from level 12 to 18 in about 2 hours with my Paragon/Mesmer. I had also earned just over 3 platinum from dropped gold and items to sell. If you're working on survivor, it's awesome. When your health drops to 0, press the 8 key rapidly to refill your energy before the timer hits 0:00. You start out with 15 and each time you get knocked over, it increases by 5 making it harder. If it gets too high for the timer, I'd map out early (just in case). Have fun with that guys, I did and am going to keep it up to see if I can get past the survivor title.

Update: Finish the Kilroy run and you get a Dwarven Ale, or an Aged Dwarven Ale (rare), plus another 2500 xp from kilroy for finishing it. You don't have to complete the challenge after that to get the punchout extravaganza. Just start the quest and map out or go to the guild hall. You can get the punchout extravaganza again.
