Gen 5 dps normal run is 10 min at best. For 2 weekends playing it on the side you can get to 600 from 500. Do little bit of a grind and you will be set to go. Before arenas, wars took very little of our time. Opr it’s just pure boredom. You could be easily 625 with many gear sets by now and ready to do arenas 24/7 with spare 100k shards for new pieces as well from some mutations. Influence push it’s the most boring thing ever when there’s no pvp involved and 3 factions having fun at the time
You should easily get 4 gypsum orbs a day for 30 minutes time investment
Faction vendor
Topaz kills
Stash bags
Aptitude crate
Thats how you do it.
Why are you “wasting” time in a video game? Nobody is making you play it? You are always free to go “waste your time” on another video game? It’s your choice alone.
this is true but the fun is not found in chest runs thats for sure.
- chest runs have got to be the most awful and boring content in the game.
Why you even do chestruns even more?
You can easily run dungeons over and over again and get your expertise way faster than with this chestruns. Most people running those just like them or hope for good random drops and NOT for expertise.
As someone already said, just get your daily Umbral-Shards and run dungeons
I nolifed one weekend and went from 500-600 in almost all slots
Thats nothing compareable to the start of the game where noone did run expeditions due to extremly high crafting-costs and they had to do daily chestruns and slaying 64+ mobs over and over again. FOR MONTHS
Now the expertise system is extremly easy and fast to climb.
If you don´t want to invest time in a game, don´t play mmo´s.
that’s only true if you play one particular style like you mentions “no-lifing” in expeditions.
-this style of gameplay is not appealing or even possible for a lot of people.
why are people responses like this? “dont play”? so im not allowed to try and improve the things i enjoy, investing time is a thing, i get it but everyones time is different with different value and limit. and its also wrong, no matter what type of game you play you are investing time into it in hopes of getting fun/entertainment out of it. this just seems like the least constructive way to talk to fellow gamers and improve gaming.

I don’t do them much anymore but I enjoyed and appreciated chest runs. They were fun, looked cool, great loot and bumps for easytown instead of instances. Why hate on that?
I love golf but hate putting. I’m always trying to get the national golf association to give me an avenue to avoid putting, but they refuse. Dang it.
at least you tried, and im glad you did, i wont attack you for communicating your desires unlike others.
This is an MMORPG. Did you know that?
Did you think you downloaded Call of Duty???
Might’ve played OPR. It could be confused with Call of Duty. 
I didnt know MMOs were going to never evolve and be as slow and boring as they were back when they were invented.
doesnt sound like MMO’s are for you
No wonder no one plays. You offer feedback and the people who dont like change tell you to quit.
Trying to get in a Genesis run as I was told on this thread. Only 1 other person online who wants to do this run. Sounds like ill have to dedicate hours to find a full party.
I’m sorry I hear that argument about the 15% and I don’t believe that’s how it works in the game. I’ve tested this with a few guildmates that are full 625/perks and I am barely damaging them (typically around 1K and crits around 2Kish) while they are slamming me for 3-6K.
And if you think the avg player can get to 625 doing those things for a few weeks that’s not realistic.

Well people did the math and all that testing 
You are definitely not using the same weapons/armor load/gems/build and similar stat distribution while testing with your guildmates. But ye, keep dreaming about gearscore doubling or trippling your dmg or survivability 
Ask your guildmates to buy 550 gear instead of that 625 and try to hit them/being hit by them.
And we have done live testing. 550 vs 600 and 600 vs 625. It’s more than 15%.

That is every grindy video game ever. What do you think you do in WoW, or Destiny? Rinse, repeat
Ofc you did objective testing with same weapons, same perks, same equip loads, same target stats etc. oh you didn’t … look at your previous posts, they make no sense. “Oooh i am hitting my guildmates for 1k and 2k crits (max crit multiplier is 1,4x + crit dmg perks minus resilient but whatever man) and they are slamming me for 6k”.
You didn’t test anything, don’t embarass yourself. Testing is an objective process, not random people with random gear and random stats hitting each other and making false assumptions.
