	That's the specific bonus weekend that stacks with the various Otto's boxes. If anyone has legitimately purchased heroic Ottos boxes sitting in their inventory, this is the time to use them.� Obviously, if you suspect that you might have accidentally bought an Otto's Box from a duper, you'll want to just discard that from your inventory instead of cheating SSG out of the hard earned cash that they so richly deserve. 2 Million XP +50% Sovereign potion +10% VIP +10% extra VIP weekend +5% ship +5% voice of the master/Master's Gift augment on some ML 1 goggles =3.6 million XP with just 200k left for the heroic life.� That's like 2 Litanies, a Mirror Darkly and a Sane Asylum and you're done.

So, wait, it only stacks if the master's gift is in goggles? That sucks.

I just like goggles because a nice set of ML1 True Seeing goggles of Blindness Ward or of Persuasion is something nice for any class and any race. I slap the goggles on and I don't replace them for a long, long time because what else am I going to use at low levels on Goggles slot?

	Bonus is already in effect. Coulda done another life this evening had I not stupidly decided to play Artificer again. 88k in 2 hours... makes me feel bad. Going to hammer out a few over the weekend, focusing on the uglier races.

	I actually enjoyed being a halfling and am looking forward to gnomes, but sun elves? someone hit them with the ugly stick and they went back for seconds.

	Yeah.� But assuming a sov pot, 1 run through Sharn saga will cap you if you have the masters gift when you pop the xp token from a box. If you need anything else, members only in docks and/or safety in numbers are fast. BTW, I Find elec sorc fastest overall (for heroics). Chain lightning is really nice and wind dance is super helpful. Also a like lightning bolt a touch better than fireball. Your dcs just have to be good. I prioritized my charisma racials for that as well. But, I use charms, holds, fingers, and PKs a lot. Sharn welcome can be completed with charms and the boss fight. Charm + wind dance is my go to in there. Skip the shrine. Chain lightning is more forgiving on grouping trash than fireball. Speeds things slightly. Same old song�again wind dance gets you to the groups faster as you have to travel back and forth, etc. On Reach for the sky, you can skip some more of the hover points. Small things that add up to maybe 10% faster.

My problem here is the rest of the chain is gated by two garbage quests: Best Laid Plans and Just Buisness. They aren't hard per se, I just hate them enough that I'd rather go do nearly anything else. Last week, before the bonus weekend when I needed 400k, I did cogs saga skipping 1 quest for VIP(not sure if you can skip 2, 1 for VIP and 1 for shards) and that was a lot of fun. I love every quest in that saga except fucking Smash and Burn(why is the very worst quest in the entire cogs also the closest to the entrance?)

I have discovered that when R+ing it you need to stop and kill most of the mobs on Safety in Numbers, otherwise the red alert WILL kill you in the end fight, but that doesn't slow it down that much for the amount of XP you get. Members Only is actually one of my favorite quests, so I'll run that one till my eyes bleed. Head-Meat wrote on Jul 14^th, 2020 at 3:38pm: BTW, I Find elec sorc fastest overall (for heroics).

I haven't played electiric on a TR; my elecsorc was a first-life iconic with no tomes and he suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. I've personally been really enjoying smashing faces with spamed meteor swarm. Do you have 3 stacks of Arcane Alacrity? Having that active made a lot of difference for me. Since I have to hold off serial TRs while I build a reserve of tokens, I opted to TR into Tiefling and play at cap for a while(lets me actually enjoy the character I'm putting all this work into). Once I have enough tokens I'll get back to it.

	How quick are you folks getting your 400k? I seem to be able to do it in about 100 minutes (according to XP pot counter) doing a smattering of old high reward quests, but I am recently returned after a few years break so I am not knowledgeable enough of the new quests to understand how they can be done quickly.

I haven't been able to run a fully-efficient life yet. I pug, and it seems like it always becomes inefficient. Someone will need to run something I don't need, and I will, etc.

I haven't optimized the 400k lives yet(and honestly don't expect to). The 200k lives I got down to a science, but for 400k I just sit back and enjoy playing for a bit, run whatever I feel like, etc. 100 minutes sounds about right, I was turning 200k in 47 minutes or so, but there's a lot of quests I fuckin hate.
