I've played this game quite casually for about five weeks now and I'm currently at CP 186.

I'm playing stamknight btw, and I really enjoy it. I got a set of Hundings along with ok weapons and jewelry so I'm not really in any need of new gear, even though I'm currently at 5/9 research on most professions/items.

My goal right now is to reach CP 300 so I can start doing trials and vMA. But I'm a bit split about how I should get there, being a casual player with only a few hours per day.

I've been running vet dungeons and it does go well, sure sometimes I get kicked BBC low cp but I can handle myself really well even tho I might not be doing much dps. I know it's a bit of piggybacking on the 600s. Also, I'm doing Cadwells silver atm.

To me it seems like questing (Cadwells and the occasional delve/boss/dolmen) is faster than queuing for vet dungeons (save for the daily). Would you agree with that, meaning I should focus on doing quests instead of vets?

I'm really not interested in pure, man mindless grind and on the other hand I'm not really interested in the quest stories.

Any other tips and hints to think of, to reach my goal?

    Well, I'd normally suggest skyreach, since that's the best spot for leveling, but as you mentioned grinding is a no no. Dolmens are okay and in the meantime you can do world bosses and delves. Doing that will net you gear and skyshards. Quests are also good since they can give skill points, but as you said quests are a no no. So I'd say clear each zone one by one by doing all the content there.

    Just make sure to make all training gear, and make them at least blue. Maybe get your hands on some psijics and try to bring a friend to make everything go faster.

    I'm fine with doing quests as a source of exp if they net me more than grinding vet dungeons

    It's not something to grind per say, but once per day you can do a random normal dungeon which will net you a lot of experience. Pop a psijic ambrosia right before you clear and you have a lot of experience for little work. These give a base of 100k xp per day (multiplied by psijic and any enlightenment you have). You can continue doing random normals, but they will give you 1/3 the xp each time (33k base).

    If you are not going to grind or do quests, the next best thing I can think of is using training gear, psijic ambrosias (although these can be expensive if you aren't doing much giving xp), and possibly run around zones clearing delves and dolmens. You might even make some money if you stumble upon a well-traited piece of armor or weapon.

    EDIT: I noticed you mentioned you are fine with doing quests. I am honestly not that familiar with the amount of xp quests give, or what quests are good, but if I had to guess, I'd imagine the quests required for Cadwells would give the most xp.

    Just play the game and do the quests, you will get CP for almost everything you do, not really worth grinding.
