TL;DR
• Completing these nine side quests takes less than 10 minutes.
• If done correctly, you will only have to kill ten enemies.
• If staggered correctly (after completely three Dungeons or Scenarios), you can complete your Daily and Bonus Daily side quest allotment.
• All quests award four bags.
• In total, you will net 36 bags, 28326 xp, 4635 shards, along with…
• Thousands of more shards depending on what you sell.
• This can be repeated every 8 to 12 hours.
• Patrons and lifetime members get free teleporting + bonus XP and shards, of course.
Hey folks, it's Trace. I play a character named Kisho.
If you’re like me, time is Marks of Favor. More rewards in less time is the way to go! Although this run is similar to AWOL’s Shadowy Forest side quest run, you only do the fast and easiest side quests. The Don’t-Make-Me-Wait mod is essential for this run (and great to have, in general). It will make your load times exceedingly fast.
It works best to start in the Besieged Farmlands. I will let you figure out the Anima leaps. Once you get a hold of the rotation, it goes fast. I’ve timed it under ten minutes multiple times. So, start with…
- Blood Drive (Delivery Quest): 3660 xp, 500 shards (Try to not aggro the vampires).
- The Briefcase (Delivery Quest): 3720 xp, 500 shards.
Teleport south and run into the Shadowy Forest. These can be done in any order, but I prefer…
- Who Comes and Goes (Simple Exploration): 3774 xp, 525 shards.
- A Wreath of Roses: 1887 xp, 525 shards.
- Red Hand Down (Crashed Helicoptor): 1887xp, 525 shards (two enemies to kill).
- An Errant Knight (Ornamental Chest): 3828 xp, 516 shards (four enemies to kill)
- Tenebrae (Cocoon): 3828 xp, 516 shards (one enemy to kill).
- Ashes to Ashes: 3828 xp, 512 shards (three enemies to kill).
- Shrooms* (Simple Exploration): 1914 xp, 516 shards.
*If you’d like to skip a quest, I recommend skipping Shrooms. The visual effects can be annoying and the quest doesn’t net you as much XP or shards as some of the other quests.
That's it, folks. Quick and easy. Comments and questions are welcome.
