This guide will exclude all the collectibles, guild activities and island exploration considering some of them are 1 time or can be beneficial only until you obtain the collectible behind them.
— Daily —
- Chaos Dungeon - 2 Runs per day - You have 5 Min to finish each stage, there are usually 3 stages in each - If you run them alone it takes 2/3
8 - 20 min per day
Why you should do them: Those are the main source to gain gear upgrade resources and jewelry. Those resources and jewelry can be sold to other players using the Auction House if you don’t need them. So if you have a lot of alts is the faster way to make gold.
When you can consider making more than 2 runs per day: The resources are changed to “Token Resources” that can be only used to buy other upgrade resources, uncommon engraving books & Jewelry. Farming more runs for resources isn’t really beneficial because you literally will gain 1/100 of rewards for the same time of the first 2 daily runs. The only reason why you should consider doing them more that 2 times is for the uncommon engraving books that are really hard to obtain and you need a lot of them.
I already explained how engraving works here: Beginner Guide - Engravings Explained - What they are and how they work
This dungeons by the way is also the main reason why you need alts of you want to gear up faster or make gold faster.
Note: In this dungeon you can use any consumable you have
- Guardian Raids - 2 Runs per day - You have 20 min but you can do it in 10 even playing alone
20 - 40 min per day
Why you should do them: Despite they are not the best to make upgrade resources those are the best way to loot more jewelry and ability stones.
When you can consider making more than 2 runs per day: For training against different bosses. But you don’t get any rewards from doing more that 2 per day.
- Daily Epona Quests - 3 Quests per day - It can take 1/2 min if you use the bifrost while if you won’t it will take even 20/30 min
6 Min - 1 Hour 30 Min per day
Bifrost is a tool that allow you to teleport to a specific location you save “any location”. You can unlock up to 3 of them in F2P doing collectibles and obtaining Bifrost Keys. While with the Crystalline Aura you have 2 extra in EU/NA while 1 in RU/KR. The bifrost allow you to teleport to the saved location each 2 hours for 1000 silver. So you set up the 3 location for the 3 daily that you want to repeat each day.
Why you should do them: Each quest you do you gain Legacy Points that restarts at the end of the week. Based on how many points you gain you receive tokens you can exchange for a huge amount of gold and is the main way to gain gold in the game. Plus each daily quest give you reputation for the island you do them. Usually maxing out the reputation on those location you obtain several extra rewards including collectibles. To finish it give you also a decent extra upgrade resources for your gear as well.
Note: Having more alts helps to max out the weekly points that will max out the gold output you can generate.
- Rapport
There are over 50 npc you can do rapport interactions. Those are limited to a small amount of interaction per day. The main reason why you should do them each day is because it take a small amount of time but in exchange you can over time unlock great rewards like collectibles, permanent stats increase gold and many other unique rewards.
— Weekly —
- Void Dungeons - 3 per week per type but limited to a specific sub tier “each tier has 2 sub tiers” - There are up to 2 Raids per tier and you should do them all, so in total there are 6 Raid runs to do each week.
It can take 10 min per run if everyone know what to do, but it can take hours if at least 1 person don’t know the strategy. So the time required to complete them is relative to the team you find or have.
Why you should do them: Main reason why you will want to do them is because is the main way to obtain epic & legendary armor set and weapon Plus is the way to obtain the items that increases the chance of successful upgrade of your gear. There is a change to find runes as well required to power up your abilities. Also most importantly it always give you 2 engravings books each run. So it the best way to unlock engravings.
When you can consider making more than 3 runs per week: They still drop the good stuff despite in lower quantities. But the main reason why you can do more is to find more runes that are harder to find without this activity.
Note: Is one or places where you can find the Ability Stones that aren’t account bound so you will be able to sell them in AH for gold.
- Weekly Eppona Quest - 3 per week - It usually takes a lot of time to complete them and you want to do them while executing the normal activities.
Those are the main way to obtain Ability Stones of the Artifact rarity and a decent amount of resources
