Codex runes farming

Hey,

Recent returner to DDO and I started making 4x mat/opp pieces for my warlock. I ran a few LH shrouds, grinded curse the sky/creeping death to ransack on LE and I ended up on... ~600 codex runes.

At that pace (without using raid resets), it should take me about 192 days on one character to get 15000 codex runes to wear 4 pieces.

Am I missing some other sources of codex runes or are those 3 quests it?

Wait another month or two and I'm sure it will all be obsolete.

Nope, that's it. The raid is many times faster than the quests, if you want 4 piece set for 1 character you need to run it with several characters on a daily basis though.

I have only ever played one character since 2009, currently at 3xepic, 3xiconic, 3xheroic completionist. I am not leveling and gearing up an alt just for one raid  Undecided
I have 3000 ddo points left over from subscription fees and favor from TR-ing. Raid reset tokens it is, i guess.

EDIT: Ah yeah, thanks for clearing it up!

@ 200 runes a hard run
That's 15,000/200 or
75 runs

75*150  = 11,250 TP if you run only one character every day

@ 350 runes an elite run
That's 15,000/350 or
43 runs

@ 2 elite runs a week, that's 21 weeks or 5 months. Compare that to 2.5 months and spending 60 bucks.

Make a cleric for reaper, or a warlock for the lolz.

Run 4 shrouds a week. Don't use timers. Its a game, you'll get that shit eventually.

Probably in 3 months if you do it that way.

The mats are bta, so you can farm with multiple characters to speed up the farm.

After a brief reconsideration, I rolled up a warlock. Equipped it with whatever I could and started leveling. Should be up to 30 in a few days at this speed... it should save me quite a bit of DDO points.

Can't disagree with that. Well done.

It is nice to be able to run content I never have before and most of my gear appears to be getting the job done adequately if not spectacularly.

Yeah, but try playing while clueless. That requires lots of gear.

Sorry, it's kind of hard to hear you. Even if you're yelling to get above the sound of Strake's attention.

Three hours of play today have proven that to be a painfully accurate observation.

Looks like the Madame (cool title Strake) is developing a pretty serious crush on Hags, and is getting pretty desperate that he keeps ignoring her. Very funny to watch.
