Tpis on how do get into group dungeons fast as DD

zaria

Pick pledge pick up the undaunted delve quest, queue as DD, travel to delve and continue to quest boss, wait for boss to re-spawn, obviously you now have an high chance of getting into the dungeon and nobody will refuse invite. You have to do the delve again afterward but that is fast
This has happened twice for me

Nice

and you can try by queueing as healer or tank and just do your DD-thing.
you will not get an sympathy but who cares

Has two cp590 healers for that

I just found this funny, leveling an NB and DK and yesterday this happened on both.
For PC-EU I found random normal wait time to be around 10-12 minutes but it was faster then I combined with delve quest.
Wonder how people get hour long queues? specific dungeon? Vet has shorter queues at least as healer I almost always end in vet then selecting multiple.

Am I the only one that can't follow the steps laid out here? How do delve quests relate to group dungeon finder?

You are assuming correlation from coincidence.

I'm getting that really often. I jus take the delve quest to fill the time. The thing is vet queues are much shorter, so usually I get a group the moment I enter the delve, or while approaching the boss. During prime time random vet is usually less than a minute, vet pledges up to 5 minutes (unless very unpopular dungeons like vCOA2 or vFG2). Sometimes I get the random in like 10-15 seconds. Had I not taken the quest, I would wait the exact same time, but it feels much shorter when you have actually something to do. For some reason it doesn't work that well on Saturday and Sunday (queues up to 15-20 minutes - probably more DDs online).

Hmm, i always pick up the delve quest and i am pretty sure it wont help other then having something to do while waiting. The average waiting time for me is 45 Minutes, sometimes i am lucky and i am in in 5-10 minutes but thats rarely the case, Weekends are are crazy, finding a random group in the last couple of weeks took more then 3 hours...often i just quit and gave up if none of my guildmates were available.

I know that its no collaboration, that outside of DD queue time is 10-15 minutes, I tend to queue in rawl'kha check research, go to elden root pick up quest, then off to delve, if I have to wait a long time for boss its likely it rake 10-15 minutes.
Yes waiting to queue until just outside delve would be smarter as I would join dungeon just after returning and sell / deconstruct stuff but its less fun

Who platform is you on? I run random normals on an 24 and 42 DD PC-EU, longest queue time was 20 minutes.
Have only run healers outside of guild runs the last half year, was far more problems with group finder back then and my dps back at cp200 was not impressive either.

Makes sense, normal dungeons has lots of players who level or are casuals and only DD, vet has more tanks and healer builds. Weekends you get more casuals so more DD.

Yeah, sorry, but that's got nothing to do with anything. You've just stumbled on one of the Murphy's Laws of dungeon queuing.

So following that line of 'logic,' you can increase your chances further by:

• Being right in the middle of the longest (step for step) quest you can find, preferrably main line or guild related for sheer duration purposes.
• Choosing an area that has the absolute largest map size prior to your current quest objective.
• Complete all steps, right up to the last quest giver. Engage in final conversation and expect the queue to pop right before full completion.

This can be further enhanced by have the quest be as far from any known wayshrines as possible, preferably in rugged or difficult to navigate terrain. Make sure you walk, not mount to arrive at your destination.

Also, having near full inventory is ideal. Best if you have to destroy a single item to make room for the quest reward. Second best if you have to travel (again, no mounts, shrines, or merchants/bankers allowed here.) to empty inventory prior to queue.

Also, if you're almost out of food, potions, or soul gems (inventory), ideally all three, your chances of the queue popping increase.

You've simply experienced coincidence and it feels like it takes less time because you're actually doing something while you wait, vice just standing around the enclave like the local celebrity homeless guy.

It's why I tell people, "Queue, then do (something/anything)" It pops when it pops.
