Best path to “hundreds” of PotD aetherpool?

[Jeeqbit]

Aetherpool is what makes soloing easier and this is what you will be getting rid of in exchange for the weapons. It would be more efficient to queue 51-60 in pugs. All they do is run through the 10 floors quickly and there usually isn't even much or any talking.

You can push 51 to 100 and clean your aetherpool once you're around +80. Floors above 100 are still relatively fast but mobs get tankier and it takes a bit longer. Once you're well oiled a set of 10 floors shouldn't take you more than 15-20 minutes.

I'm stocking Aethergrips at the moment for Endwalker and personally I'm just running standard 51-60 runs with randoms. Whenever my aether gear is around 50-60 I make one Aethergrip, which keeps me at a decent gear level. Sure you don't get every silver chest in DF and I won't go out of my way to grab a chest halfway across the map when the passage teleport just popped, but you get most of them and you're blazing through so fast that it works out at a good income. Always pop Fortunes and Affluences. Plus you can level alt classes.

Leveling MCH from lv32-48 was 1 Kinna weapon for example.

Since we're on the subject, a general reminder to others that Sage and Reaper will almost certainly get PotD weapons and a Padjali Noulith or especially a Kinna Scythe is likely to look rather nice. Worth stockpiling some Aethergrips just incase.

Basically 9 aetherpool grips. 3 for Padjali and 6 for Kinna along with the former weapon.

But yeah 51-60 works mostly since it is the fastest and sadly not many bother going further so the queue can take longer depending on time.
