favor farming? How to do so efficiently/quickly so

If you have Vet 2, and are only premium with nothing else going for you on a newish account, how would you list the quests to run in best order for getting 100 favor and then a list to 500 favor in the shortest time possible?


This presumes starting with no plat, on new server, solo running and beginning in marketplace after leaving the vet airship from levelling to 7, plus buying a level 7 hireling after the first couple quests (having earned enough in chest item sales to get one).

I've gotten a lot of conflicting suggestions from google and the ddo forums, are of course, useless.

Best is to do it with box account that has a barb/sorc runner,
Move acc you want quests completed on as "spoonge" to quests where your "runner" confirms completition.
Back in the day when we farmed tp we managed to do 15 minute 25 tp runs, fastest was i think 12 or so minutes we had but that was when we were in top form and yes most will say its useless, but some people just enjoy the get for free without doing a shit approach.

I can explain better, but best is to ask a friend to explain further.
There are many strategies about route/time/dual/triple box routes that you can do,
Fastest is in a 2 man cell with 2 boxes

So just dual box with my main account and as I am about to complete, then invite the other character in and complete the quest?

I hadnt considered dual boxing this game, but I suppose that works.

Thanks.

O, and btw, why sorc/barb in particular as a runner?

Barb with sprint boost. Blow through quest super fast and destroy end boss fast. Bring in your second box after your main box (barb / elite opener capable toon) enters on elite.  Another option is monk or ranger with sprint boost if you have those.  Hope you already have a high level character with fast run speed because just building one up is going to take longer than actually farming.

Its mainly a build you level up to level 14 or so on a f2p account. 12 levels of sorc 2 barb.
barb gives you sp boost and sorc gives you aoe /fireballs /wall of fire/haste/wings from air savant for maximum speed efficiency, teleport, ddor. Basically eveerything you need for fast favor runs.
Wizz has slower  cast time and no wings so no wizz isnt as good
basically a sp boosted winging sorc can bypass many lockout points or cheest for fast times in completition


Also it is very nice when you move your main account to put a wall or smthn spell in quest that require killing something specific.

Your best bet for tp is to do fast 100 favor runs on every server then just do regular runs.
I know it gets annoying, but as time progresses you will unlock most packs for tr and while tring main thro heroic content you will get enough tp to buy even more packs potentially unlockin eveything.
Thats how me and friend did it tho, also keep a eye on events on fbook/twiter/google+, they are rather generous with events and you can easily explot to get 4-5 k tp per event

Nice explanation, thanks for posting that.

Wife and I just got tp as we TR but once in awhile I would just make a tr barb if I was just missing 25 or 50 tp and did


1) Heyton's Rest           6  korthos
2) Storehouse Secret       6   korthos
3) Cannith Crystal         6   korthos
4) Collaborator            12   korthos
5) Bringing The Light      6    harbor-leaky dinghy
6) Information Is Key      12   harbor-leaky dinghy
7) Haverdasher             6    harbor
8) Durk's Secret           12   harbor
9) Garrison's Pack         12   harbor
10) The Lost Tome          9    harbor
11) Kobolds new ringleader 12   harbor
12) Butcher's Path         12   harbor
13) the sunken sewer        9   marketplace
14) swiped signet          12   marketplace
Total favor in all(elite) = 132

delete and repeat

Fastest way to farm tp though is just go mow someones lawn one afternoon and use the $ and buy some.

Absolutely this.

Unless you're in the southern hemisphere, in which case shovel some snow.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

the best timeframe was 25 tp/ 30 mins.

veteran I coz lvling to 7 takes more time. +1 min prolly

MIA 9, sunken sewer 9, stealthy reposeession 9, ringleader 12, Baudry p-chain III. redbox 9, garrison 12, durk 12, haverdash 6, info is key 12, bringing the light 6, and storehouse secret.

This was the method b4 they focked up harbor and korthos path retardedly. Now u need 4 favor from somewhere else.
Return to sanctuary redbox 9 favor maybe, sharns suck as they r plcaed crappily in market.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

25 per 30 mins lol?
Best we had was 12 minutes if i remember right.
Even now its around 15 minute mark/25 tp for a experienced boxer, and you can do it a bit faster now with new harbor drop point

if you do it with party, yes it can be taken down. try dualbox only, an opener and a runner, and you will see.

EDIT: and btw how much time does it take to set up the other accounts, to get the quests into near complete state, to create the toon, maybe watch the clock on your computer to see the actual time, not just add up the quest completion times. Coz then ye, completing the quests takes only 30-60 sec.

Also one could just macro toon creating and running and run it while at work, etc.

That's still essentially working for less than 2$/hr.

I did a bunch of favor runs to test out the different classes when I was new to the game, but once it turns into a grind it makes more sense to do that grind at work...even if you make minimum wage.

In some parts of the world people work for few $ per day. And yes, they still got internet access. Not everyone was lucky to born in developed country Wink Not to mention its not possible to buy TPs from some countries. Maybe using Paypal but its another story.

About favor runs. Most effective is dualbox. You can do a solo run on a boxed dedicated runner and sponge in 20-23  minutes. As someone above said its 13-15 min when you find someone to help with.
