    I’m pretty sure the best way to do skyreach is to not do skyreach

    You can just have the lowbie crouch and sneak through. The mobs are sleeping

    Just wondering - what is the addon which makes AOE areas pink? Is it FTC? I wanted to do this at some point, but could not find the option in FTC...

    Enable custom colors for AoE effects.

    Take the “Glow” slider all the way to the right

    The glow is far more significant a change than changing the color

    Is it ever optimal to open the chest? It takes forever to go through all the enemy waves. I think you'd be better of just running the two sides and resetting. Has someone compared their XP/hour gain with and without opening the chest?

    With both players being high level (grinding CP), you can pull both sides simultaneously, meet in middle, and then nuke.

    Have you ever actually compared your XP/hour gains? I will often do zombie farming instead of Skyreach because I don't feel like looking for a partner, but I don't think it's more effective, it's just more convenient.

    What is the purpose of stealthing when you open the chest?

    Genuinely curious I never figured that one out on my own.

    You can’t open the chest if you’re in combat, so stealthing allows you to pull the room and do the chest at the same time and save a minute or two

    If you have one person gather all mobs from the chest room (and the following one) while another player stealth opens the chest, you can do the event at the same time as clearing mobs.

    If you don't stealth, you can get hit by a mob and be unable to open the chest, forcing you to clear the room mobs before you start the event.

    You may have done it faster if you're higher cp/not in training gear/with a partner :smile: that doesn't change this being the optimal path

    You can absolutely do the event and the mobs in the room! However, it's often more trouble than it's worth, as it messes with how the ads stack up. Which is why I did them separately

    It is absolutely optimal to open the chest. Also, if you "gather the sides and nuke at the end" a lot of the mobs end up getting stuck in the wall along the way or arrive late, delaying the pull. This would be fine, only when they stealth-nerfed skyreach they took away the xp certain enemies give completely.. so if the wrong mobs get stuck/deaggro, your xp/h is slowed considerably

    Oh, so if you spawn the chest without aggroing the mobs, will the mobs continue to spawn (like if you do the chest normally) and stack up for you?

    Thats really interesting I never thought about running it like that. Thanks for answering me.

    anyone can do skyreach with full gear and all skills slotted- in three pulls.
    the trick is to do it with all ur skills on ur backbar- only one spammable skill on ur front bar- so ur levelling 5 skills on ur front bar at once.

    considering doing a guide on that with each class.

    You're right anyone CAN do it; most people just don't know how to group the ads properly, so you don't waste time chasing 1's and 2's around
