    Irregular tomestone grinding efficiency

    Just started today, and was wondering what the efficiency of the various instances is, in minutes per tomestone.

    Instance.......#TS.......Time (M).....TS per min.

    Stone Vigil:.......3..........20................6.6
    Praetorium:......10.........47................4.7
    Castrum:...........7.........24................3.4

    So, despite all the cutscenes, if you have the time, Castrum is the most efficient so far.

    I think what you calculated is minutes per tomestone, not tomestones per minute ^^

    Right now I think it's more efficient to not grind and just do your daily roulettes, including (if you're willing) the Frontline PVP roulette and/or the MSQ roulette.

    Grind if you get closer to the end and haven't earned all the items you wanted.

    There isn't much reason to grind. With the increased amount, you can just do your dailies and get quite a bunch. Most items on the list aren't worth getting through this system anyway. If you want the Primal mounts, just put up a PF and unsync them. Every single HW Primal nowadays can be laughed at with four people. You can even solo half most of them on Paladin.

    getting primal mounts is certetainly better with this event than doing unsync farms, you could be farming for a long time and not even get the mount before the party gets dispanded.

    What dailies? The only things I do each day are the beast tribes for crafter XP and hunts for nuts.

    Fastest is PVP. 3 times frontline should be much faster then 2 times Castrum, giving you 15 stones.

    1st off, you didivided time / tomestones in ur results. TS per min should be 0.15 for stone vigil, 0.21 for prae and 0.29 for castrum

    anyways
    if you go as a premade and sac ur tank during pulls stone vigil can take like, 9 minutes. (0.33 TS/min)
    a party of 4 BLU can beat tam tara in like 4 minutes too (0.75 TS/min)
