Eighteen Twenty-six pursuits; rewards at four, nine, fourteen, and eighteen:

Complete four activities -- 5 Xanmeer Crown Crates
Complete nine activities -- 5 Wraithtide Crown Crates
Complete fourteen activities -- 5 Scalecaller Crown Crates
Complete eighteen activities -- 5 Diamond Anniversary Crown Crates

The announcement appears to claim that it is a very varied selection. Apart from the fishing and some options for the quests, to my mind it's truthfully a comparatively small set of combat options with just larger numbers for 'variation'. Nothing wrong with that, just don't pretend that's not what it is. At least it's up for twenty-eight days, so one can spread out the slog somewhat. (Though undoubtedly someone will already have completed eighteen before I post this.)

I'm curious, where's the slog at with this one?

Yeah if you do 20 minutes +dolmen in Alkir + daily crafting writs, that's half the list completed

AcadianPaladin · August 20

For my own clarification, there are 26 tasks. Completing 18 will maximize the rewards allowing me to skip 8 and still get the max rewards. The breakdown for me is 22 tasks that will easily happen in my normal play during the nearly month-long event and only 4 that I won't touch (battlegrounds and revive other players).
Good tasks, good rewards. Very nice event, I'd say.

I'm sure someone has a more efficient system to this, but it took ~20 minutes total for 2 accounts

Oops, you're right, silly mistake on my part.

I honestly have no idea how you can manage to do all that in ten minutes per account. For myself I would expect that finding and completely emptying five fishing holes would already take more than ten minutes alone, probably a lot more...

Can you really do thirty crafting dailies and five fishing holes and ten Alik'r public dungeon group spawns and ten dark anchors and two of whatever Skyreach is, including all travel to and fro, within twenty minutes let alone ten? Or did I misunderstand? In any case I'm very impressed, even if it's not a play style that appeals to me personally.

edit: After re-reading the above, to clarify: I did not intend it to sound as a denial of your post -- I know people can do things a lot quicker than I can, I just cannot envisage how you all manage it.

Dolmens alone would take about 30 minutes. No matter how many people are there, it takes about 3 minutes to finish a dolmen at least.

One of my favourites for killing multiple mobs with minimal effort is....

Normal Fungal Grotto, don't do the skip and get to Clatterclaw, avoid hitting him and just kill his minion crabbie spawns.

Those spawns usually count as mob kills BUT I haven't checked this time yet, great for any character using Jabs!!

Obviously also counts as a group dungeon if you finish it too.

Any level character with ok gear can do this just put your Companion away for Clatterclaw they will kill him too fast!!

... i completed the 30 bosses and 500 enemies at the dynamic encounter in Glenumbra 🙃

It was two accounts at the same time, 20 minutes total, not 10 minutes per. Everything was done together, one account in load screen while I was doing writs on another. Load screens are very quick with few addons installed.
The public dungeon is spawned via triggers, with a very short cooldown, so not waiting 5 minutes for respawns, it was around 15 seconds per spawn, with 3 bosses each spawn.

With Spirit Mastery for revives, and Real Technique for fishing.

Dolmens were the slowest bit, but with next to no travel time, just porting to each shrine in Alik'r.

There was no downtime for any of it, one thing to the other immediately

Dolmens alone would take about 30 minutes. No matter how many people are there, it takes about 3 minutes to finish a dolmen at least.

Far from 3 minutes, what makes dolmens go slow is not hitting pinions

EDIT: That being said, it was ~20 minutes, not exactly twenty, I didn't time everything

It’ll be a while before I get home and get to see this myself, so what are the rewards?

shadyjane62 · 12:12AM

Done and done. Took about 5 hrs, the most tedious was waiting for Limbscather to reappear. The crates had usual stuff I won't complain about . I I got 270 gems for it all.

15 things added to collections, 2 mounts, a bunch of pets and markings. Good Day's work.

From the announcement article:
Complete four activities—5 Xanmeer Crown Crates
Complete nine activities—5 Wraithtide Crown Crates
Complete 14 activities—5 Scalecaller Crown Crates
Complete 18 activities—5 Diamond Anniversary Crown Crates

(I should stick that in the OP, it's short enough.)

Player revive / player homes - i dont understand the connection?

Can duel and revive, or use the Elinhir Private Estate and repeatedly die in the lava in the center

the bosses in the deshaan public group event count as 3 bosses (because 3 enemies) so if there are other public dungeon group events with multiple bosses that goes quite fast

The fastest for multiple bosses (also 3) is Na-Totambu since the player can control the spawing.

BretonMage · 3:41AM

Something I like about these pursuits is that you can get most of them naturally just by doing your normal dailies, WBs and dropping by some dark anchors. The quests and dailies pursuits overlap, and the bosses pursuit overlaps with the dailies. Even the WB pursuit overlaps with the DLC dailies. I'm halfway through these pursuits and I haven't even really gone out of my way to do them.

SilverBride · 4:05AM

I finished 18 and got all the crates in a couple of hours. I didn't get anything good from the crates.

Buffy121 · 4:39AM

Thank you for posting these

great that they got a free trial running now but still no crown sale
