    How do ppl do it?

    Farm tomes without going insane that is.

    CM runs: 90% either people trolling for laughs or noobs who aggro every trash pack and make the instance take 4x longer other than that completely face-roll you can train a gorilla to complete this instance

    AK runs: slow boring repetitive again full of tools

    How do people run these places 60+ times to get geared up without going insane?

    It would be nice to get some variety. Also CM should not be the prime farming spot once you are capped. It's 8 man story place which is extremely annoying to run multiple times.

    If you're not looking to be "efficient" (ie. won't run any other dungeons), Wanderer's Palace is pretty fun. Stalkers are pretty fun to run from - it always ends up with "OMGGGGG STALKER RUN FOR YO LIVEEEEEES!", and of course, Tonberries. It's a good place to run as well if you do not yet have your Titan/Relic Shield.

    Otherwise there's Hard Mode Primals.

    Unless you can't force yourself to get out of the repetitive grind for the efficient run to end game, then those are my suggestions. Take it easy and enjoy things as they come.

    I've never heard anyone say they enjoy it. It's just something you have to do if you want to stick with the game, or rather, get a new look for your character that isn't common enough so that you stand out around the market boards.

    I guess how well you cope with the grind is how important that is to you. I only got through about 15 CM runs before burning out. Leveled a new class and did CM another 25-30 times before realizing it wasn't worth it. Yeah, it took me that long. I'm a sucker though.

    I could never be bothered griding philos for DL, before it used to be AK speed runs to myth cap, now it's 4AKs + 3 coil turns for myth cap.

    Once you're in a competent group, you can clear Titan+Coil1/2 easily with ilvl60 + some (3) DL pieces. You can also respec 30 vit if Titan tumult becomes an issue.

    When you have to distract yourself from the game while playing it, you know there's a problem.

    Do 1/2 CM run a day (never any issue) then go craft
    Day after do 1/2 CM run, then help a FC member with his dungeon
    Do 1 CM and 1 AK then go gather in the woods then take cute picture

    Not that hard really ^^

    The way I deal with it is easy. I am not grinding anything. I am not in a race. Its going to take 4.5 months to get full AF2 F-it don't stress just run enough primal fights and AK to get your 300 myth tomes a week and do other stuff. I am full DL minus the cowl playing casual like this and game is still new.

    I agree, don't rush just chill do your CM's and AK's and Primals if you want. don't worry about other players, do your own thing.
