	Has anyone done the 100 favor dash on each server? I'm contemplating doing it, but don't want to waste too much time. Tips, suggestions welcome!

	Prior to MotU and Bravery Bonus, I have achieved 3000 favor on each server on an F2P account. I had a great time doing it and met many nice people. I started on Argo, got to the teens, then started a new character on some of the other servers to get to 100 favor so I could buy Vale, went back to Argo, capped at 20, then went back to each of the other servers and got characters to 20 on them. As I earned enough TP to buy content, I would purchase what was on sale, working from the most favorable Favor per TP packs toward the least, and then earning this favor on elite on the other servers. This took me long time, but I was having a lot of fun and don't consider the time to have been wasted. There are plenty of strategies for doing the "100 favor dash" quickly, however you'll need an elite opener.

	Check if the Guild favor runners or something like that still exists. I think they have a guild webpage. Google.

Scripted it, I slept while it ran so couldn't tell you exactly how long it would take. Naturally it would take less time for a human, but was able to do 3 or 4 dashes per night (4-6 hour sleep sessions, 1 dash = 100 favor on same server by deleting toon, remaking a cookie and starting over) depending on circumstances (For a while there, my net would die randomly during night hours. Never did figure it out, but it just stopped one day just as silently as it started)

	Funny you should ask about this Hide, I was working on it last night. I made a Blade forged, went to House D, did the four quests of the Depths on norm, hard, elite, which got me to 36, then went to house K, and did forgotten caverns N,H,E, and then one norm in lair of summoning N,H, and that was it for me. 50tp for 5, 25tp for 25, and 25 for 50. All told creating to logging off took about 45 mins. I know you were asking about the 100 favor, but the extra 25tp didn't seem like it was worth another hour at that point. I'm sure there are some faster routes, I was doing this off the top of my head. I only have one sever left that I never got around to, maybe I will try it again sometime and be a little more scientific.

	If you are serious about doing the run and own ELITE opening, one hour per server. Seven servers = seven hours. Assuming you are not doing your main server. If you do not own ELITE opener, and only are F2P then it is about three hours per server. Seven Servers = 21 hours. Unless you can catch a ride with an elite opener. I have never bothered to delete a character and rerun for just 25 favor. I hate those quests enough why would I want to run them again for just 25 favor?

	First time runs make sense but if it takes an hour to earn 25 TP that is basically 25 cents an hour. your hatred of Turbine would have to run pretty deep to bother with that.

I'm just really, really poor and want to buy some of the packs that I used to run as VIP but, yeah, I'm starting to think I should just not bother and return to VIP when I get a regular job. Also I'm starting to think we might be headed for a server merge and would hate to miss out on the opportunity to make 25c/hour...

I'm a virgin on all servers but 2 and I deleted my toons on my not main server. So, yeah, it would just be for the first time bonus - definitely not favor farming on my main server. I'd rather just TR than that, get the extra past life. But I'm lazy and this seems like turning a game into work - blach!

	If you have vip you can do the 4 depths, then forgotten caverns in about 10 mins with a bladforged made in Cannith. No need to re-run or return to turn in. My initial post was made with a view to anyone who didn't have vip, so would need to N,H,E each quest for maximum favor. The depths in house D, and the house K bar quests are the fastest, much quicker than korthos and also easier to reach with a iconic. By playing Iconic you will have access to 30% striding, and by next door to the quests.

	If you're f2p, just run an alt account through the 10 or 11 quests it takes to get the 100 favor so you'll always have an elite opener, then dualbox with your main. Takes me about 35 minutes to do 100 favor dualboxing that way, but I'm kinda slow.
