If this is your first character, it is fun to do each quest and go for all the optionals as it is just plain fun.
However, if you have done them on a toon already and this is you 2nd, 3rd, or 10th toon, you may want to try this method as it is very fast for xp, leveling, favor, and fun.
I am going to periodically add to this as I progress.
Theory: fast runs through dungeons, no time wasted on optionals, and if you already have cash rich toons, not wasting time on useless chests of low level.
Object: to quickly obtain favor (for backpacks, resists, etc), xp for leveling, and to keep the fun up and the grind down.
How to: complete a dungeon once on elite and move on. Do not repeat. Follow chains when you need to, but try to go level by level and do not start on a new level of quests until you have finished the previous ones.
So far on my wiz...
1st level quests
I did all the solo quests and just ran through them.
I did all the solo/party quests on elite only and just ran through them as fast as our party could.
Each of these quests takes a minute or so...
2nd Level quests
So far I have done all but stealthy repo and the catacombs chain. Ran through all, one time on elite except....baudry (hard/elite - no opener), Waterworks (hard/elite - no opener).
Note: 2 third level quests had to be done to complete the chain of WW.
Where the toon is now...
Favor: 239
Coin lord: 153 (have both backpacks)
Skip: I will probably skip stealthy repo on elite as it is a big time waster.
XP: 44.325 of 50,000. Last rank of third level, almost 4th.
# of quests: 31 (all but a few done only once)
Adventuring time: almost all quests are 1 minute to 5 minutes (yes, even WW if you skip everything)...I would say 1 hour to 2 hours counting non-adventuring time depending on group.
