    Default How long would it take?

    How long would it take playing 10 hours a day to get all the planar hero's epics and stuff vrs, the t1 mark of ascention stuff? Could I get ether before the exspansion hits?

    It would take at least 1,000 inscribed sorcestones to upgrade even one of the planar peciced the required 3 times to get the hero's stuff and so would need 4,000 stones. How long would that take?

    Do exspert dungeons drop mark of ascestion through boss kills? Because the few you get a week for doing randoms would not be enough to get it in time.

    Then there is plaque of achivment you upgrade each peice once, how long dose that take?

    I want to gear my new 50 the best possible before exspansion, whats best bet?

    Impossible to tell without more data. The rate of zone events is based in part on the population in a particular zone. So on one server it could take as little as a month on another it could take far longer.

    The absolute fastest path to upgrades is PvP. Beyond that I would suggest mixing and matching. Do your dailies for the Marks, and farm the Planar Invasions and Instant Adventures for Inscribed Sourcestones and get a combination of the gear.

    If you do the T1 raids you will get the T1 raid gear much much MUCH quicker than you would get the planar gear, if you don't raid neither is going to be very quick, the bosses in dungeons don't drop MOA you only get the 7 random bonus awards a week

    with 10 hrs a day on a very populated shard you could do zone events and instant adventure and probably get 100 - 120 ISS a day so about a month if you are lucky with the rate of zone events

    You should be able to get 150-200 ISS per day on busy shards, so it will be 3-4 weeks to get 4,000 ISS.
    This will give you 50-hit level gear. To get some of 38-hit gear, you have to be glorified with the two EI factions.

    Doing random expert gives 3 MoA (plus possibility of bonus), so to get 460 MoA it would require ~125 days.
    Doing GP etc pug would reduce the required time, especially if you combine it with weekly quests. (Although I wouldn't get MoA by completing weeklies if it were me.)
    This will give you 38-hit level gear.

    Every random expert boss drops 3 PoA (plus possibility of bonus), so this certainly is the quickest method, as you can do random expert as many times as you want per day.
    This will give you 25-hit level gear.


    So, get PoA gear as you go, get helm and gloves from MoA (still requires a month via random expert), the rest from ISS may be the fastest way.
    However, GMoA (if not IMoA) gear would be better to aim for than MoA gear.
    You can also do daily raid rifts to get some 38-hit gear.

    There are some 38-hit crafted gear, which is the quickest way if you have money, for sure.

    Just saying, but I'd think it be more of a time saver to get gmoa from daily randoms and Master modes you are able to do. If you can get into hk with a guild or gdkp (these you probably must show at least 500p to the raid leader in order for them to believe you may bid on something that drops) or get into rotp, it's a huge time saver compared to gettting 14-21 gmoa a week, 6-9 extra if you do master modes when they reset. The varition is because if you have a guild with the guild perk to get a 40% chance for extra marks, it'll save you some time also.

    Marks of ascension should never be chosen as a random reward, lol. It's just too easy to get what with dh/gp/ros/gsb. Plus those have easily comparable if not better loot that little to no one wants. In other words, you can pretty much skip on t1 gear and just get filler loot from 1 raids while you work on t2 gear.

    I've used t1 raid gear as filler when I had enough marks from t1 raids on my warrior when I hit 50, but I went straight to Infernal marks with randoms and so far have a 3 piece without having to enter ID on it yet. I wouldn't recommend getting Id marks now however as unless you can wait that long, hk and Id epic gear are considered on the same par. Only when you upgrade ID gear to relics do they become better.
    Main difference between the two though is that ID gear is ap/sp based while hk is more balanced around crit and ap/sp.

    Oh, plus t2 raid gear costs 50/80/100.
    Id raid gear costs 80/120/150.

    Save inscribed for your resist cores~ If you're not entering Id, I suggest building a water one. you only need say 120 resist, and with 27 resist runes that you can apply to chest AND shoulders, you'll reach it easy. But don't let that make you mix and match, it is better to have a full water resist core.

    Oh and one mroe thing (paranoid much) make a best in slot core also for everyday use if you want.
