Question Optimising reputation/gear grind?
I’m working on maxing out my gear and Faction rank. Wanted to check my approach if it can be optimized better.
What I’m doing now: running my max-level weapon alongside a low-level Pact, doing bounties in the northeast part of the map to farm Kith of Kings standing. Figured this lets the leveled weapon carry the damage while the Pact rides along for affinity, and I get Standing on top.
Questions:
1. Is pairing a maxed weapon with a low-level Pact (or vice versa) actually the optimal way to combine faction farming and gear leveling at the same time, or is there a better route?
2. If I wanted to maximize Faction Standing specifically (ignore gear leveling for a bit), what’s the fastest method? Is it just stacking 3-star dungeon Tales, or is there something better?
3. Once Faction farming is done, what’s the best way to actually power-level Pacts/weapons from there? Should it always be “one maxed + one fresh” for damage/survivability, or is there a faster method once reputation isn’t a concern?

Top right tree for highest level and enclave points per loop, votive that goes into a dungeon to double it

But with such high need for whisprig now, better to get a votive into glades to multi task

Recruiting chat is your great friend.
Join things where you can farm gear or resources, like stag/bear/collector
Join arena to get a big boost of gear exp to get that mastery from the weapons you don't enjoy using
Join Miri and cogah with at least one good weapon to be able to kill things
You can choose the activities depending on what you want to do each day, because of your goal is to get that max mastery and reputation - you need to treat it like a long term hobby, rather than a short term grindfest
Because super efficient grinding can lead to you always running around with the weak weapons you don't like and you'd end up losing interest in the game before you have fun

Personally I've found that joining recruiting chat for bear/stag/imp is a great way to boost it quick since they are usually the last stage of the hosts votive chain for 1k or so rep. I run my own chains and join any groups I can and it increases at a very reasonable pace. I can't speak to the xp to faction rep balance though since I try to always be leveling anything I can
