    No. My advice is to set up your own group in the Party Finder that mentions you're going after silver chests or advertise it in /shout. There will be other people looking to do the same - I know I did after I got my Kinna weapon.

    Speed run PotD is the fastest way to level. Most groups spam floors 51-60. Speed runners will not pick every single silver chest but they will take ones that are close by. With higher floors (61+) you'll find more people going after silver chests.

    not only for leveling purposes. Fresh level 60 without having any other class or a support system of friends, can use these speed runs to get a quick 2k lore and a real quick weekly scripture cap. Even a veteran can profit from that, in case people are still doing relic, well can't get tomes easier if you do not want to spam alex or arf. Needed to add that ,otherwise I do agree with your post

    PvP is a better way to start off in my view since getting 235 gear is quick while on top of getting lore and scripts.

    Also library hard can be done in 10-12 mins for 100 lore.

    Some data centers have hours of queue time on pvp content, potd would be faster. Most people are not interested in pvp and would just afk it and I wasn't trying to support bad habits, the only reason I did not mention it. ilvl235 gear is fine, however it's pvp gear and won't hold up in higher level dungeons even so some people think it does but that's a complete different discussion. A couple of potd runs will lead to a full set of ilvl 230 gear as well as a couple of scripture pieces or/and at least the chest/pants in much shorter time in most cases.

    gero changed that, i still see fast queues but ya that is something else to keep in mind is how long you spend in queue.

    same =/ i seen some people pushing us and my friend before, but 100 is increased but i do not think that is worth the time the climb. Just spam 50-60?

    Correct! Given the exp/hour rate, go past floor 60 have sense if you need unlock the Kinna weapon (you need do floor 100 at least once) and that means you also are in need of silvers. Another way for silvers is the floor 1-50 run.

    Whoever repeats 1-50 for exp had got it all wrong and must move to 51-60 farm.

    Anyway, the BEST option is always ask your FC to help you. Advice good for all and everything existing in this game.

    Edit: summary:
    Floor 1-50:
    - needed the first time, to unlock floors 51-100
    - silvers needed to reach +30-ish weapon/armor to farm decently the floors 51-60

    Floor 51-60:
    - needed for exp farm OR silver farms

    Floors 61-100:
    - needed once for unlock Kinna weapon
    - possibly better hoard grades there

    You can set up cross-world parties in the Party Finder.
