I miss the writs already!

I know what I will be choosing on the 5th week.

Honestly, I'll probably continue to do writs on all my characters after the event because I'm a filthy survey hoarder.

Just do the delve dailies. You can complete those in around 10 minutes each as long as you already know where the delve is. And there is one in the base game and 1 in each dlc/chapter. So Base+Morrow+Summer+Murk+Gold+Hews+Clock (I don't think I missed any). 7 delve dailies that should take you around 70 minutes max as long as all you are doing is burning through the delve.

The World Boss dailies take a bit longer, so if time is a factor, just skip those.

So, at 1/0th the rate I got crafting. Using up my hour a day may net me a couple Lyris pieces over the week. They either didn’t think through time to get packages or they hope to increase Crown Store sales.

Everyone makes a good point here about the increased time it'll take. I didn't consider that as I was thinking this week would garner more jubilee boxes overall, because the number of shared world boss quests could be more than the number of writs you can do per day.

Missed 1. Wrothgar. So 8 delve dailies.

So that's 8 dailies per character, as opposed to 6 crafting dailies that take a couple of minutes per character tops (not including the time to change characters).

So do the new dailies have more stuff in them because otherwise....

There are more than 8 dailies per character. I was only outlining that the delve dailies are the quickest and that there are 8 of them.

But that doesn't take into account quest sharing. I am not sure what the amount is, but you can do far more dailies if you are in a group and each of your group members have a different delve or world boss quest in each zone for their daily. It just takes a lot more time.

Well, I'm guessing this event is for people with plenty of time on their hands, I barely had time to do the crafting dailies on all my characters, never mind all these others.

I think my biggest issue is not with the time (though that is rough), but the fact that delves are excruciatingly dull, as are World Bosses during events. For Delves you're just mindlessly running through random dungeons with generic trash and bosses that are so weak they're sometimes indistinguishable from trash mobs, and of course you often have to wait five minutes for it to respawn and hope you can get a hit in before the six other people waiting burn it down in a second or two. The world bosses are mostly the same, just without the "randomly running around yet another mostly identical cave/Ayleid ruin/etc." filler.

This is not fun. And, unfortunately, most of the events seem to go this way. The loot is great and all, but it does not counterbalance the tedium and monotony of these events. At least daily writs were something I was doing anyway...
