    Do your daily dungeon runs and turn in the vanguard quest :)

    Then buy masterwork alkahest boxes from the vanguard merchant.

    I don't know where to farm it, mate, but you can sometimes buy it from broker, and occasionally it drops in the calendar as a daily reward...in fact, I think we got 25 more of Masterwork Alkahest on the way in a couple of days, if I'm not mistaken (will have to have someone confirm, though)....

    You can also buy Bonanza boxes with BC or KS credits (battlegrounds), but if you don't need spellbinds or MES, VG boxes are much faster.

    Yep. Vanguard credits for MWA boxes. You should also visit the Vanguard Crystal Merchant to beef up your crystals if you haven't already.

    The vanguard vendor sells a box of it. Just farm VGs and buy it. It costs 200 vg credits.

    Ok hereis a dumb noob question. How does 1 get a ton of VG credits? What is fastest way?
  • saddsasdsaddsasd ✭
    Doing vanguard requests. Run dungs do Island of Dawn and that's it i think

    Farming Channelworks and Abscess is probably your best/only option right now. If you're one of the really high-damage classes (gunner/brawler/ninja) start farming the top tier BAM's (Nagas/Giants/Hydraths) as soon as they become available as well. If you aren't one of those classes, you can still farm them if you want but they are the fastest for when you don't have Slaughter yet.

    Having elite also doubles the vanguard payout, so if you're interested in a subscription that's also a big help.

    Look at the vanguard mission lists and see what is the most rewarding in points.

    But as for fastest way, you can just burn through dungeons, each one is about 15 minute average, as fast as ~7 minutes but maybe 25 minutes or more depending on party.

    As for IoD BAMs, it's based on your skill (maybe gear) against each BAM. Many people don't spend more than 1 minute per BAM, so you can estimate as low as 5 minute for each set or up to 10 minute or so.

    Celestial Arena is 6 minutes average for most players, up to 12 minute max. I dont know if VG cred on it is worth it though. I don't do Celetstial Arena unless I completed vanguard (for achievements).

    Since there are 8 Vanguards per day, you can estimate roughly less than 2 hours ( considering average idle/travel time as well ).

    If you want to do maths, think about average runs and estimates, (total reward) / (time spent) = Efficiency

    Bonanza box from BC and KP is the best way to farm. However, if you only want MWA, sell your bonanza boxes to buy MWA. The prices of bonanza are very high, mainly because of the high prices of SES. And people are worry about MWA prices zzzzz.

    Killing Bams on iod grants vg credits?
  • EllieChuEllieChu ✭✭✭
    spend the gold you have now to buy character slots, level up alts to 65, do gathering and mob dailies on these if you dont intend to play them. you get 1k vanguard credits per alt which is 5 mwa boxes pr character a day + some feedstock on the side. its quick and efficient if you have a lot of characters
  • LunatycLunatyc ✭
    There are quests for IoD BAMS. U have to kill ten of a certain type depending on your item level.
    These questscreward vg credits, gold and tokens.
  • LunatycLunatyc ✭
    Also having multiple lvl 65 chats helps a ton.
