No, you can't. You're thinking nuts, not Astronomy. Absolute best case scenario would be about 2400 Astronomy in 2 hours once you figure in time to go from world to world plus the wait as train gathers not to mention needing to detour at one point to go buy a relic before you cap at 2000. For that to happen, you'd need 8 worlds cooperating and well organized in chaining the trains within that 2 hour period instead of conductors fighting because they have their schedule and they won't deviate from it.

If you want it to feel like more of a grind, you're more than welcome to keep doing the Sil'dihn Subterrane over and over. Nothing says that you're required to grind the tomestones in the most efficient way possible. Make the grind feel like how you want it to feel.

As much as you don't want it to be designed around players who want to collect all 19, enough players do it that SE has to take them into account. They can do the hunt train grind, you can do the Variant Dungeon grind.
